Cancel a Task

Canceling a task stops a running task from occurring. Canceling a scheduled task does not cancel subsequent

runs. To cancel a scheduled task that has not run, reschedule it.

NOTE You can only cancel a subset of tasks by using the vSphere Client.

Required privileges:

Manual tasks: Tasks.Update Task

Scheduled tasks:Scheduled Task.Remove Task

Appropriate permissions on the host where the task is running

Prerequisites

To cancel a task, the vSphere Client must be connected to a vCenter Server system.

Procedure

1 Locate the task in the Recent Tasks pane of the Status Bar.

state. The vSphere Client displays the task with a Canceled status.
