Okay here's the deal. Just started a new job and the previous admin did not install all the features for the vCenter 5.1 nor did he record the SSO password for the admin account. So, instead of beating my head against the wall, I decided to create a new vCenter 5.5. Now to remove a host from the old vCenter we have to do the following
1. Shutdown the vm guests on that host
2. Put the host in maintenance mode
However, I was wondering, is there another way?
