How-To Delete Stale Hypervisor Entry

Problem

You had to rebuild a host and the re-authorization operation is failing due to an existing hypervisor entry with the same name.

Environment

Procedure

1. Identify the compute service associated with the hypervisor__hostname by running the following command.

Javascript

# openstack hypervisor show pf9-test-01
