Uninstall recover point for VM

Question

Hello Everyone,    we have two connected RP4Vm clusters install at Main and DR sites version 5.3.3.1 on ESXI & vCenter 7U3, we used the evaluation version till we get the license now we need to uninstall and re-install it again, i checked uninstall procedures  and found to uninstall i need to un-register the ESX cluster from RP4VM itself but its now not accessible from both the plugin and cluster IP, i just need to uninstall it    could you please advice how to totally uninstall it with unregistering the esx cluster as its not accessible? In addition can i remove both cluster using the tool ?

If you need to completely uninstall RecoverPoint for VM from your ESXi hosts and vCenter, but you are unable to access the cluster from both the plugin and cluster IP, you can try the following steps:

Log in to each ESXi host in the cluster and navigate to the "Datastores and Datastore Clusters" view.
Locate the datastores that were used by RecoverPoint for VM and remove them from each ESXi host.
Remove the virtual machines that were used by RecoverPoint for VM from each ESXi host.
Uninstall the RecoverPoint for VM plugin from vCenter.
Remove the RecoverPoint for VM virtual appliance from your virtual environment.
Remove the RecoverPoint for VM virtual switch from each ESXi host.

If you are unable to unregister the ESXi cluster from RecoverPoint for VM because it is not accessible, you can still remove the cluster from RecoverPoint for VM by running the command "RPA-configure unregister-cluster" on the RecoverPoint for VM virtual appliance.

I recommend checking the RecoverPoint for VM documentation for specific instructions on how to uninstall the product and remove clusters using the tool.

I hope this helps, and good luck with the uninstallation process!
