Question
Hyper-V Host removed SCVMM
When I tried to delete Hyper-V Host from System Center Virtual Machine Manager error occurred. Host is not working properly and should be evicted from cluster and removed from VMM environment and then reinstalled. How can I handle this issue? Hyper-V Host removed SCVMM.
Answer
When Hyper-V Host is crashed in some cases remove them from VMM is not easy. VMM tried communicate host and perform some tasks during deletion. To force this action you should:
- Turn off affected Hyper-V Host (if you want remove them from VMM I assume that you can shut down as well),
- Try once again to remove them from VMM.
In this case you will receive warning instead of error. Warning tells you that VMM agent can’t be uninstalled from Hyper-V Host what is part of deletion. It’s not the issue this time.
- You can also start VMM Powershell, connect to VMM server and then force deletion:
remove-vmhost <Host_Server_Name> –force
