Remove Host from Foreman

Question

n Foreman 1.12 I deleted a VM from the VMware web client, but cannot delete its record from foreman.

I got the below error:

Error: Failed to destroy a compute VMware (VMware) instance *************: ERF56-4248 [Foreman::FingerprintException]: The remote system presented a public key with hash *********** but we're expecting a different hash. If you are sure the remote system is authentic, go to the compute resource edit page, press the 'Test Connection' or 'Load Datacenters' button and submit

Answer 1

You can try un-associating the host first.

To un-associate a host in Foreman, click the host you want to delete. There should be a button at the top right that reads Unassociate Host. Then, you should be able to delete the host.
