2. Re: Force delete node from vSAN cluster.
jmadpalw Oct 7, 2015 8:59 AM (in response to lohikalm)To resolve this issue, you must prepare disabling on the VSAN cluster.
To prepare disabling on the VSAN cluster:
- Log in to each ESXi host's console, see Using ESXi Shell in ESXi 5.x and 6.0 (2004746).
- Place the host in maintenance mode and select the full data migration option.
- To obtain information about the VSAN storage, run this command:
# esxcli vsan storage list
- To disable automated mode, run this command:
# esxcli vsan storage automode set --enabled false
- To remove the specific SSD disk used in VSAN configuration, run this command:
# esxcli vsan storage remove -s [SSD-DEVICE-ID]
- To obtain information about the VSAN cluster for the ESXi host, run this command:
# esxcli vsan cluster get

- To disconnect the host from the VSAN cluster, run this command:
# esxcli vsan cluster leave
- To find any left-over configuration, run this command:
# esxcli vsan cluster get
Note: The command should not return anything if VSAN cluster information gets removed. You can also verify that the vsanDatastore will disappear from the Configuration > Storage option, too.
- From the Hosts tab of the cluster, ensure no ESXi host is part of the VSAN cluster. After confirmation, right-click on the cluster and then click Remove.

Refer HOL-SDC-1408 document, to remove host from vSAN, only thing is "Add disks to storage should be "automatic", So that when you remove the ESXi from VSAN, immediately related devices will remove from VSAN.
