Is it possible to delete a node without deleting the VM?

Support
#1

I have a few orphan nodes in theforeman that were renamed or moved and now
i have two entries in them - one that is managed and another that is
unmanaged.

Is it possible to delete the bad entry without deleting the VM? as it
appears if i try and delete either one, it always tries to delete the VM,
i'd honestly be fine with removing both and re-populating the details by
running puppet…

This feature ("disassociation") will be in Foreman 1.5. In the meantime
you'd have to edit the database (e.g. sudo -u foreman psql) and set
"uuid" and "compute_resource_id" to NULL in the hosts table for that
individual host. Please take a backup first!
