You can remove the connection between Horizon 8 and a vCenter Server instance. When you do so, Horizon 8 no longer manages the virtual machines created in that vCenter Server instance.

  1. In Horizon Console, navigate to Settings > Servers.

  2. On the vCenter Servers tab, select the vCenter Server instance.

  3. Click Remove.

    A dialog message warns you that Horizon 8 will no longer have access to the virtual machines that are managed by this vCenter Server instance.

  4. Click OK.

Results

Horizon 8 can no longer access the virtual machines created in the vCenter Server instance.
