F5 VCMP guest shutdown and decommissioning
- Jun 05, 2026
To shutdown the Guest:
- Log into the Host
- Navigate to vCMP -> Guest List
- Select the Guest you want to shutdown
- Set Requested State to Configured
- Click Update
That will leave the Guest in place but consuming no resources so should you want to rollback the change you just set the device to Deployed again:
