Issue/Introduction

The following method is for unsubscribing a local content library from a publisher content library due to plans of decommission the vCenter where the content library is subscribed.

Resolution

Before proceeding with the resolution, take a snapshot of the vCenters to be safe (ONLINE snapshot for standalone vCenter and OFFLINE snapshot for ELM or Linked Mode vCenters).

1. Required privilege: Content library > Delete subscription of a published library on the library
2. Navigate to the Content Libraries list.
3. Open a local library by clicking its name.
4. On the Subscriptions tab, select one or multiple subscriber libraries from the list.
