[ovirt-users] how to remove VM and Hosts ?

[Tamer Lima]

Problem solved:

The VMs are related to POOL

To remove these VMs
1) on tab POOLS : detach each VM from pool
2) remove pool   (when I choose to detach all VMs from the pool this will
remove the pool itself)

When I do this , on the VM tab  the icons of VMs changes  from Pool Icon to
Server Icon
Then, on VM tab I select desired VM and click on remove.  Now it works.


finally:

all VMs removed.
now I can remove the Hosts
