These was only the first example that I find
I do not all SDK API, but probably there is a function to disconnect an existing host.

Andre thanks for the response.

Those scripts appear to only add hosts, but I would guess we could come up with a script to remove from inventory for disconnected hosts as well. Luckily, eventually the hosts were removed from inventory after I was able to remove the entire data center.

You can use PowerShell scripts like this:

Disconnect and remove ESX host from Vcenter CLI?

Hi all,

We are having major issues with our old Vcenter and it's database. We are trying to move everything to a new virtual center. We have a few hosts where we are able to disconnect, but then when we try to remove nothing happens. Is there a way to remove from the command line?
