For clusters built using the Assisted Installer, it's not possible to delete the BMH. The hosts go into a deprovisioning state and get stuck. It is always necessary to remove the finalizer to complete the deprovisioning process. Another issue arises during host reprovisioning, where a MAC address conflict occurs with an existing node that has already been removed.

    always

    1. Execute deprovisioning hosts
    2. Remove finalizer since it stuck
    3. Unable to reprovision due to a MAC address conflict     

    Unable to de-provision and re-provision

    The customer expects the deprovisioning step to be a one-time task (without requiring the removal of the finalizer) and also expects any cached data to be cleaned, allowing for a smooth reprovisioning process.
