Remove a Host from a Cluster in a Workload Domain

You can remove a host from a cluster in a workload domain through the
Workload Domains
page in
SDDC Manager UI
.
Use the vSphere Client to make sure that there are no critical alarms on the cluster from which you want to remove the host.
When a host is removed, the vSAN members are reduced. Ensure that you have enough hosts remaining to facilitate the configured vSAN availability. Failure to do so might result in the datastore being marked as read-only or in data loss.
  1. In the navigation pane, click
    Inventory
    Workload Domains
    .
  2. In the workload domains table, click the name of the workload domain that you want to modify.
  3. Click the
    Clusters
    tab.
  4. Click the name of the cluster from which you want to remove a host.
  5. Click the
    Hosts
    tab.
  6. Select the host(s) to remove and click
    Remove Selected Hosts
    .
  7. Click
    Remove
    to confirm the action.
    The details page for the cluster appears with a message indicating that the host is being removed. When the removal process is complete, the host is removed from the hosts table and deleted from vCenter Server.
