<h1>Name</h1>
<b>VixHost_UnregisterVM</b>
<h1>Description</h1>
<pre>
VixHandle
VixHost_UnregisterVM(VixHandle hostHandle,
                     const char *vmxFilePath,
                     VixEventProc *callbackProc,
                     void *clientData);
</pre>
<p>
This
function
removes a virtual machine from the host's inventory.
<h1>Parameters</h1>
<dl>
<dt><i>hostHandle</i></dt>
<dd>
The host handle returned by VixHost_Connect().
</dd>
<dt><i>vmxFilePath</i></dt>
<dd>
The storage path of the .vmx file on the host.
</dd>
<dt><i>callbackProc</i></dt>
<dd>
A function to be invoked when VixHost_UnregisterVM()
                  completes.
</dd>
<dt><i>clientData</i></dt>
<dd>
A user-supplied parameter to be passed to the
                  callback function.
</dd>
</dl>
<h1>Return Value</h1>
VixHandle. A job handle that describes the state of this asynchronous call.
<h1>Remarks</h1>
<ul>
<li> This
function
unregisters the virtual machine identified by vmxFilePathName, which is
a storage path to the configuration file (.vmx) for that virtual machine.
A virtual machine must be powered off to unregister it.
<li> The format of the storage path depends on the host operating system.
If the storage path includes backslash characters,
you need to precede each one with an escape character.
Path to storage [standard] or [storage1] may vary.
<li> For VMware Server 1.x, supply the full path name instead of storage path,
and specify VIX_SERVICEPROVIDER_VMWARE_SERVER to connect.
<li> This
function
returns VIX_OK but has no effect on Workstation or Player,
which lack a virtual machine inventory.
<li> This function is asynchronous. Completion is reported by a job handle.
<li> It is not a Vix error to unregister an already-unregistered virtual machine,
nor is it a Vix error to unregister a non-existent virtual machine.
<li> For ESX/ESXi hosts and vSphere, the user account specified in the call to
VixHost_Connect
must have "System.View" privilege at the level of the Datacenter containing
the ESX server that hosts the VM to be unregistered.
</ul>
<h1>Side Effects</h1>
None.
<h1>Requirements</h1>
vix.h, since VMware Server 1.0
<h1>Example</h1>
