Hi,
in my Foreman setup I have some hosts which were on a compute resource
(libvirt) which is not available anymore, so I would need to delete the
hosts - I also need to recreate them on a new resource - but Foreman
prevents this because it cannot connect to the old compute resource.
Is there a way to force the removal of those hosts?
I've searched the web but can only find hints to added features in later
Foreman versions; I have 1.3.2 here and cannot upgrade at the moment.
PS: never mind, I found a workaround. But I'm posting this anyway, might be
useful to others ;).
As I also had another working libvirt compute resource, I edited the
address of the old CR to point to the existing libvirt. Then I could delete
the hosts (it looks like Foreman doesn't care if it cannot find the VMs on
the compute resource, as long as it can connect to it).
there should be Unmanage host button available, which you can use to put
the host into puppet only mode. Then you should be able to delete it.
