I was honored by my company, and recieve 1 block 4 nodes NX-3060-G5 for use on my own projects. It’s a old node without support and inside of EOL list.

 

What happened is that, i don’t know how, received an alert saying that AHV had a crash on files. But 20 seconds after the host was okay, and the alert was solved itself.

 

But, 3 machines which was working into this node crashed too, preventing access through console, migrate the VMs, power off, etc.

 

I tried remove the host for reimage it, but is stuck:

 

And when I ran the NCLI command to remove the host, trying get the status, shows the follow:
 

 

Anyone could help me for solve this issue? Any tips?

None, host might already removed from cluster.

None, host might already removed from cluster.

So you’re saying I just have to go on reimaging the node?

If i’m not wrong, when the host is removed, it disappears from hardare inventory in GUI, right?

Yes soo, I already removed the node from the block too, and doesn’t disappear from UI.

 

I don’t know if I’m leaving something behind.

  1. run NCC checks 
  2. ncli host list
  3. restart cluster service (gensis first)

Return from NCLI host list

Seems that the node got stuck in HAFailover status.

 

Have a way to take it off?

my issue turned out to be that i am using old G6 nodes to move a G8 cluster to AHV from esxi.  When removing the G6 nodes from the cluster AHV wouldnt move vm’s off the G6 node because of a differant CPU architecture.  Need to plan shutting down and manually migrating vms to the G8’s
