Today, I got into big trouble with vShield Zones where I need to remove them from ESX host. Generally, it would be done by using vCenter. In my case, I don’t have enough resources in another ESX host where I need to bring the ESX1 for maintenance mode in order to remove the vShield Service. Finally, I end up with using service console command to remove vShield service from ESX host.

ok.

To verify the vShieldZone is presented or not.
Then, reboot the ESX host.
