Offboard Voss Assurance Assets
------------------------------------------

.. _21.1|VOSS-842:

Unified CM- and Unity Connection Clusters that have been integrated with 
Assurance Arbitrator Servers are offboarded in two ways.

.. note::

   While an asset can be offboarded, the feature does not currently
   allow for the *modification* of any existing monitoring on UC Apps.

 


Deleting the UC app
...................

When a Unified CM or Unity connection server or cluster that was
integrated with an arbitrator server is deleted,
the asset, customer specific probes, profiles, credentials and
related data are removed from the arbitrator. The VOSS-4-UC
arbitrator data syncs for the UC app are also removed.
See the Offboard workflows below.

Offboard Assets
..................

The **Offboard Assets** menu provides for the removal of
the *clusters* associations by arbitrator server *in a batch*.

1. Select **Offboard Assets**. You will be asked to choose a customer level hierarchy.
#. From the **Assurance Arbitrator Server** drop down, select the arbitrator to
   offboard assets.
#. Select assets currently associated with the arbitrator
   shown in **Available** transfer boxes. Offboarding is set
   by moving these to the **Selected** boxes.
#. Click **Save**.


Inspect the Transaction Log to see the transactions and sub-transactions.

Offboarded Unified CM and CUC servers in a cluster remain and show **Monitoring** details
with specific **Assurance Arbitrator Server** instances disabled.


Additional Tool to Offboard Single Servers 
''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''

A View is available that
is not in the menu, but it has access profiles enabled
for provider and higher level administrators,
so that *single* assets can be offboarded.
They can be added to menus if needed:

* **Offboard One Assurance Asset**

This tool allows you to carry out the tasks on the form
by selecting:

* **Assurance Arbitrator Server**
* **Asset**: Cisco UCM/CUC Server


Offboard workflows
...................

When a Unified CM or Unity Connection server (asset) is unassociated with a VAA Arbitrator,
the following updates are made by VOSS-4-UC on the arbitrator.

The transactions for these can be seen on the transaction log.

1. Remove asset (the server)
2. Remove or refresh asset group
3. Remove probe (performance monitoring)
4. Remove probe group (customer specific)  - see :ref:`probe-names-profile-timings`
5. Remove relevant credentials on Arbitrator - by default the ADMIN user credentials set up on VOSS-4-UC
6. Remove profiles in VAA Arbitrator: **Probe Group** > **Templates/Profiles**
   - see :ref:`probe-names-profile-timings`.
7. For Unified CM, remove the application user if this is a Publisher.

The UC app **Monitoring** details will show the arbitrators un-selected.
