Hi @Rajeshunix13,

Sorry for the late reply, but unfortunately there is no way how to delete a few hosts in one hammer command. At least for now.

If you have Katello plugin installed then you can try API endpoints for bulk actions on hosts provided by that plugin.

Below helped me to delete hosts which are dont have ip.

hammer --csv host list|awk -F, ‘!length($5)’|cut -d’,’ -f1 > /tmp/a

for i in $(cat /tmp/a); do hammer host delete --id $i ; done

You could use API for the delete calls straight away - much faster. Also doing it asynchronously speeds it up further.

Anyway, when it works…
