IT45550: STORAGE INSIGHTS MAY NOT COMPLETELY REMOVE ALL ESXI HOSTS WHEN REMOVING A VCENTER

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Occasionally when a vCenter is removed from Storage Insights the
  process may complete without removing all of the ESXi hosts from
  Storage Insights.  If this occurs those remnant hosts will be
  stale and cannot be removed.
  This is rare and does not occur very often.
  

Local fix

• Contact IBM Support to assist with the completion of the removal
  of any remaining hosts.
