Remove host from AVS cluster

As adding new host to VMware AVS cluster, removing is usually fairly simply.

AVS Private Cloud -> Clusers, select 3 dots and edit. Next to the each host you can find small trash icon. By selecting that one you can remove host from the cluster and save the status with the save button (and yes, there is diskette icon).

Cluster will be updating for the next 20-30 min.

You can observe the tasks progress in vCenter recent tasks:

Please keep in mind, that cluster in AVS can not be smaller than 3 hosts.

The tricky part become, when you are trying to decrease number of hosts from 6 (and more) to lower number and RAID6 was in use. The process will fail and RAID6 would need to be modified to RAID5.
