Failure to remove host AHV - ncli host get-remove-status empty

Pbrito

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.

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.

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
