Deleting Hosts
Deleting a Host will delete all of the Host's Disk Safes. Deleting a Host the first time does not not really delete it from the system. Instead, it becomes hidden and cannot be found using the Web Interface. A Delete Host Task is responsible for deleting all of the Host's Disk Safes. You can check the status of the Delete Host Task on the "Global Task History" page. Read more in About Tasks and Accessing the Global Task History. Another Host with the same Host Name cannot be added to the system until after the Delete Host Task is finished. If an error occurs when deleting the Host, the Delete Host Task will fail and the Host will become visible again in the Web Interface.
