Hello, I have some inconsistencies so that I would like to reinitialize my datacenter. It is 3.2.1 on f18 engine and f18 host it consists of one host and one local_on_host storage domain I'm not able to delete the host. It results as unassigned and so I cannot delete it, but if I try to remove storage or datacenter I get: storage: destroy --> approve Error while executing action: Cannot destroy the master Storage Domain from the Data Center without another active Storage Domain to take its place. -Either activate another Storage Domain in the Data Center, or remove the Data Center. -If you have problems with the master Data Domain, consider following the recovery process described in the documentation, or contact your system administrator. datacenter: force remove --> approve Error: Cannot remove Repository while there are Hosts that are not in Maintenance mode. what can I do to force remove a host? The maintenance label is greyed out and it results as unassigned....

I hope that this cab be helpful. It was just a newly created DC with one cluster and no VMs. Ok for your method that I already used in the past, but I would prefer a smarter way to disable / redefine a datacenter. Especially if it is empty.

Next time I will have better doing what you say But it remains something strange (to me) this workflow: select storage then select a particular SD, then in the below pane select datacenter tab, select the DC of the SD and then maintenance... what is expected to do?
