Hello oVirt Users,
We have a cluster that has been decommissioned and we are trying to remove
the hosts from the oVirt Engine but one host is stuck in "Preparing for
Maintenance". It's preventing me from removing that host and the
associated cluster.
The physical server has been shut down and is no longer accessible. What's
the best way to take this server in oVirt Engine out of this status so we
can remove the host and the cluster from oVirt Engine?
Thanks so much in advance and please let me know if there are any questions.

IIRC when I had that issue (I removed the host physically before removing it
from oVirt) I had to do the following:
- Right click in the grid on the host, and select confirm host has been
rebooted (this is basically you telling oVirt the host has been fenced).
- After a while the host should end up as down (or unknown state).
- You should be able to select maintaince at that point, this might take a
while (timeouts etc).
- This should put the host in maintaince and you should be able to remove it
then.
