Thanks Wei, I ran your command: update vm_instance set last_host_id =NULL where last_host_id=12;
This has succesfully marked the host as 'Removed': select * from host where id=12; | 12 | macfkdn17 | 4f2d0b03-0144-4591-923e-2c29bb93038e | Removed | Routing | 10.253.0.57 | 255.255.252.0 | bc:77:e1:26:20:81 | 10.253.0.57 | 255.255.252.0 | bc:77:e1:26:20:81 | NULL | NULL | NULL | NULL | 10.253.0.57 | 255.255.252.0 | bc:77:e1:26:20:81 | NULL | 1 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | iqn.1993-08.org.debian:01:4efdaa48c143 | NULL | KVM | NULL | 98710974464 | NULL | 4.15.1.0 | NULL | NULL | | NULL | 1 | 0 | 0 | 1588922331 | NULL | NULL | 2021-06-18 18:31:27 | 2021-09-03 15:16:12 | 288 | Disabled | NULL | NULL | Disabled| So I then tried to re-add the host (now that the OS has been reinstalled). The add host process just tries for 5 mins but never completes.
