We have more than 5800 deconfigured “client-less” vCenter based servers listed in Commvault which no longer exist or have data backed up. We would like to remove them and only keep what is actually still on the vCenters. What is the best practice for this sort of cleanup? We need to switch from subclient based backups to Server Plans.
Best Practices for removing deconfigured servers from the client list
Hi
Can you check our Documentation below:

Best Regards,

There is setting for that you can enable and remove directly those 5800 clients: Delete deconfigured clients that have no protected data
