Unable to remove host server
Hello everyone,
I am running ACS 4.9.0.2 on Ubuntu 14.04 server. I have tried to remove one of the host servers from the cluster, but I am not able to do so. After pressing the Remove button, I can see the spinning circle, but nothing is happening. I've also tried to do it with the Force remove option ticked without much luck either. Tried to do it on a few browsers, still the same issue. Nothing is happening in the management server logs. No errors, exceptions ,etc.
How can I remove the host server? Can I simply marked it as removed in the db? If so, apart from the host table, do I need to make changes to any other tables?
Thanks

Hi Dag,
I understand that now, but a gui message stating this fact would be very helpful, similar to the one I've received when I tried to remove the host via the cloudmonkey. The gui didn't give me an error message, instead it showed me the spinning circle indefinitely, giving false hope that the job is being processed. This part of the GUI definitely a bug (or a broken workflow) and not a feature.
Cheers
Andrei

Hi Andrei,
This isn’t a bug – this is how CloudStack works. You can’t delete a host unless it’s in maintenance mode (even though the delete button shows). The disable function is different – this simply removes the host from possible hosts when starting a new VM etc., i.e. you would use this function when you don’t want any more workload assigned to that host. As a result putting the host into maintenance mode evacuates all VMs, putting into disabled state leaves all VMs running.

It seems that there is a logic bug in the ACS gui where it gives me the Delete option after switching the host to the Disabled state, even though according to the backend, you can't delete the host in that mode.

Hi Gabriel,
I have found out what was the problem and managed to delete the host from the GUI and the cloudmonkey helped me with it. There seems to be a bug in the GUI version 4.9.2.0 and perhaps earlier.
The way that I tried to delete the host before was to Disable the host first and click on the Delete (X) icon. This has presented me with a message window asking to confirm the deletion and an option to use force delete. I have tried to delete with and without the force delete option checked, and both options didn't work.
However, when I tried to delete via the cloudmonkey, it has given me an error message stating that I can only delete the host which is in the Maintenance Mode. There was no such message in the GUI and the Delete option becomes available after you switch the host into the Disabled mode.
Thus, I have tried to delete the host by first making it in the Maintenance Mode and pressing the Delete button.
It seems that there is a logic bug in the ACS gui where it gives me the Delete option after switching the host to the Disabled state, even though according to the backend, you can't delete the host in that mode.

Hi
Gabriel,
I am using KVM and all servers are running on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS
I will try the cloudmonkey route and let you know.

Could you try to remove the host using cloudmonkey?
What hypervisor are you using?

Hi,
There is absolutely nothing related to host removal on the management server end. So, not even a job registration for the removal. I have tried to use several browsers to execute this. Nothing helps.
Thus I thought to change db to indicate that the host have been removed. But what tables do I need to modify to remove the host properly and cleanly?
It used to work for me prior to upgrading to 4.9.x.x.

Hi Andrei,
I would avoid manual changes in the DB.
Have you checked the Apache CloudStack log
(/var/log/cloudstack/management/management-server.log)?
Please, share your log so we can help you with the troubleshooting.
Cheers,
Gabriel.
