Hi Doron,

This is still in the works, but the right way to retire a host is first to put it into local maintenance (there's CLI for it and hopefully by 3.4 GA we will do it when you use the UI to put a host into maintenance). Once the host is in local HA maintenance, stale data is no longer reported, which should give you a valid status report.
Just FYI, we prefer to keep the original data for forensics, as HA behavior is sensitive and we'd like to be able to trace back in case of a failure.
thanks for this clarification. Would it be possible to "overwrite" a retired host by choosing the same Host ID for a new host?
Thanks - Frank
Hi Frank, yes. I'm assuming you're going to assign a new host with the retired's host ID. In this case the data will be overwritten. If you have any issues, please report. Thanks! Doron
