Unmanage an instance

Last published : Sep 25, 2026
If you want to stop the exchange of information between {{page.adm-product-name-short}} and the instances in your network, you can unmanage the instances.
To unmanage an instance:
  1. Navigate to Infrastructure > Instances > {{page.citrix-adc-generic}}.
  2. Select the {{page.citrix-adc-generic}} instance tab (for example, VPX).
  3. In the list of instances, either right-click an instance and then select Unmanage, or select instance and from the Action list, select Unmanage.
    The status of the selected instance changes to Out of Service.
    The instance is no longer managed by {{page.adm-product-name-short}}, and it no longer exchanges data with {{page.adm-product-name-short}}.
