  1. Check that deleted nodes are in host_vars.
(undercloud) [stack@director ~]$ cd /home/stack/overcloud-deploy/overcloud/config-download/overcloud/host_vars
(undercloud) [stack@director host_vars]$ ls -lh *compute5*
-rw-rw-r--. 1 stack stack 655 Mar 01 12:30 compute5
  1. Check that not all nodes are in metalsmith list.
(undercloud) [stack@director ~]$ metalsmith list | grep compute5
(undercloud) [stack@director ~]$
  1. You can also check tripleo-ansible-inventory.yaml
