Bug #9173

deleted hosts keep reappearing in hosts table
Description
When I delete hosts in the foreman, they keep reappearing in the hosts table of the foreman db.
This way I cannot reuse the hostname and mac to reprovision. When I power down the host after deletion after a while the host get's removed from the table and I can reprovision.
I think the hosts table shouldn't auto populate with active dhcp leases of deleted hosts.

What's also annoying of this problem, is that the host doesn't reboot into discovery because of this. The MAC remains in /var/lib/tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg and the system still thinks it has been provisioned.

All these ghost hosts have status 12288 whatever that may imply:

- Category changed from DHCP to Importers
Just a couple of observations: the TFTP file should be deleted from pxelinux.cfg when the host is deleted, that indicates an issue of some sort has occurred. (app/models/concerns/orchestration/tftp.rb should queue deletion.)
Perhaps Foreman Discovery should have some feature to trigger a reboot of the host on deletion, so it goes back into Discovery mode?
