Hi,

Have machine\'s that have been running climate and have been replaced. Is it possible to remove these hosts.

On the other projects you do have this ability.

Basically, it\'s not possible at present.
The other projects have wus that are complete in hours, whereas here they take months. The removal facility takes account of how long a computer may be needed for completing a wu, as here they may still be processing a model offline for over a year.
The ability, or lack of it, to remove unused computers, reflects this long lag time.

In this case, the computer has gone away - the wu will never be completed. Removing the host would provide a signal that the wu will have to be reallocated.

I had troubles setting up boinc on a new PC, so that PC is now registered three times, as 3 hosts. I was able to remove one of these, but there\'s still a ghost machine..

You should be able to merge these two hosts from the HostID page of one of them.

The models send back a small amount of info regularly in the form of a trickle.
This is used to tell the server that the model is still \'alive\', but if these messages aren\'t received for about 6 weeks, the model is considered to be \'lost\' and the data set is re-allocated for someone else to use.

There should be an option to merge the two remaining appearances of your computer, in the same place as the \'delete computer\'.
