When you delete the host, all files remain as they were before. Nothing
changes.
I have tested this flow today and this is the result:
1) For example i have host installed with ovirtmgmt as my management and i
want to change the management network of the cluster or to add to a new
cluster with different management network.
2) Follow the steps create another network as the management network(as
explained in the mail or feature page). Make sure to check the 'default
route' property as well! and make ovirtmgmt as non-required network as well.
3) Remove the host - no need to remove any files or packages
4) Add the host to the new cluster with the new management network.
5) What will happen is that engine will fail to configure the new
management network on the host(and become non-operational), but it is
easily can be work around by going to the setup networks dialog and switch
between the networks, by detaching ovirtmgmt and attaching the new
management network. After pressing OK the new management network will be
saved on the host and the new network configuration will be applied on the
host.
6) After this step host still remain as non-operational, all we need to do
now is to 'Activate' the host and host become operational once again with
the new network changes will take place. All files will be update
successfully on the host.
- So it looks like we not handling such scenario smoothly and maybe this
should be fixed.
If we had a host running with 1 management network and we want to add this
host to a different cluster with a different management network engine and
vdsm should be able to take care of it during the installation of the host
and to successfully make all the required changes.
Dan , Alona what do you think? should we handle such use case? or this is
expected?

I will try this way.
Normally in my setups the ip on the mgmt network of the host is also the
ip corresponding to its hostname
When I delete a host from engine, what happens in relation to its network
files in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ directory and the contents of
/var/lib/vdsm/ directory and its subdirectories?
