Re-install HA

I had to restore one of the hosts and now i have an issue with HA. Is there a method to uninstall it other than the reconfigure option?

Provide more details like ESXi/vCenter version etc.

You can uninstall the HA agent VIB package manually with this command:

# esxcli software vib remove -n vmware-fdm

VMware KB: Cannot install Fault Domain Manager agent for VMware HA after agent is uninstalled

On older versions you may have to run an uninstallscript, see this article:

After uninstalling the agent remove the host from the cluster and re-add it to the cluster.
