Not having any luck with the last host we figured we'd just try to remove it from ovirt engine and re-add it. While it seems `hosted-engine --vm-status` on one node no longer shows the removed host, the other good host and the web interface still show ovirt-1 in the mix. What is the best way to remove a NonRespnsive host from ovirt and re-add it? [root@ovirt-1 ~]# hosted-engine --vm-status The hosted engine configuration has not been retrieved from shared storage.
