Edge hosts can be removed from your organization and be reused in another organization or reset to a default deployment of your Edge host ready to be reused in the future.

To remove your Edge Compute Stack host from the Edge Compute Stack service, perform the following steps:

Procedure

  1. Go to the Hosts tab in the VMware Edge Compute Stack service.
  2. Select a host or number of hosts you want to remove.
  3. Click REMOVE HOST at the top of the data grid.
  4. Confirm the number of hosts to remove in the text field.
  5. Click Yes to proceed. Next time your host checks into the service it will recieve a remove command from the Edge Compute Stack service, the host will have its configuration wiped and will reboot itself to a preconfigured state.

Results

During this time the Edge Compute Stack service will display a status of Deletion Pending for the host until it has been confirmed as wiped.

Note:

If your host has already been wiped or decomissioned without using the Edge Compute Stack service, you can remove the host which is in a Deletion Pending status to remove the host registration from the Edge Compute Stack Service.
