Thanks for the suggestions everyone.  First up, no, this is not part of a
Gluster HCI.

Secondly, "Confirm Host has been rebooted" seems to require the host have a
status of "Non operational", "Maintenance" or "Connecting" from the error
pop up.

Ah, as I'm writing this, I shut down the host and now the status changes to
Non-responsive and lets me put it in maintenance so I can remove it.  So it
looks like the change in config causes the engine to not be able to
communicate with the host.  Is that a bug or expected?  What should my
workflow have been here after reinstalling the node?

Thanks, Shareef.
