Uninstalling CloudSystem Enterprise

From the main menu, select Enterprise.
Click Actions→Uninstall CloudSystem Enterprise.

The Uninstall CloudSystem Enterprise screen is displayed.
Review the instructions, then click Yes, uninstall.

To exit the action without uninstalling Enterprise, click Cancel.
Verify that the Enterprise appliance was removed. The name of the virtual machine where the Enterprise appliance is running is automatically designated based on the management hypervisor hostname (ESX or KVM). For example, if the management hypervisor host name is my-host-name.example.com then the Enterprise appliance name is my-host-name.
- If previously installed on ESX, confirm the Enterprise appliance is no longer listed in vCenter Server in the cluster.
- If previously installed on KVM, log into the management hypervisor and enter the command
```
virsh list --all
```
  Enterprise will not be listed along with the base appliance, SDN controller and network node appliances.
