# Move a monitored c7000 enclosure to managed status

Once a c7000 enclosure is monitored in the appliance, if you decide to change from monitored to managed, you must remove the enclosure from the appliance and then migrate or add it back as a managed enclosure, obtaining the appropriate license. Migration would keep the configuration settings whereas add would not migrate the configuration

### Prerequisites

- Minimum required session ID privileges: Infrastructure Administrator

Deleting a c7000 enclosure from appliance management using REST APIs
Select an enclosure URI. `GET /rest/enclosures` Remove the enclosure using the URI from step 1. `DELETE /rest/enclosures/`{id}`` Do one of the following: To retain the enclosure configuration, see Migrate a c7000 VCM enclosure using REST API To add a new enclosure, including adding a new configuration, see Add an enclosure to manage its content

| NOTE: If the appliance cannot establish communication with an enclosure, you must forcibly remove the enclosure from the appliance. This situation might occur if you physically remove the enclosure and it is offline. `DELETE /rest/enclosures/`{id}`&force=true`
