  • Force removing a host from within the RHEV GUI

    Posted on

    Fellow RHEV enthusiasts,

    I have come across a frustrating quirk in the RHEV interface that I am hoping someone will have a fix for.

    Essentially I have a host listed in the RHEV console which no longer exists (unplugged) but there doesn't appear to be a way to forcefully remove the host from the cluster.

    I can plug the host back in again, and re-establish communication with it to remove it, but this seems a little absurd.

    The right click context menu has 'Remove' greyed out.. likely because the host is currently 'unresponsive' and as a result can't be put into maintenance mode.

    The issue was also raised here for an older version:
    https://access.redhat.com/site/solutions/37114

    In summary, I understand there is likely a 'clean' procedure to remove a host from the cluster, but surely I shouldn't need the host up and responsive to force remove it from the cluster?
