			== Duplicate / Unwanted vCentre ==
			To remove a vCentre server instance that's not required from vFoglight...
			# In the left-hand '''Dashboards''' menu
			# Browse to '''Management Server \| Servers \| Data Management'''
			# Then expand '''VMware Model \| virtualCenters'''
			# Locate the vCentre you want to remove, and click the '''delete''' icon

			...if the vCentre comes back, then there's probably a vFoglight VMware agent still sending data to the server
