Use the Remove host record workflow to remove a host that you have created in the NIOS database. When you use this workflow, the NIOS appliance releases the IP address and removes the IPAM records associated with the host.
Search for a host by name or using extensible attributes and define additional criteria to refine the search. The workflow removes the matching hosts and their associated records from NIOS.
