Force

Forces the removal of discovered resources and hosts.For Oracle databases, if the backup is cataloged, and you force deletion of a host, cataloged backups associated with that host are not uncataloged.

false

true (ByPropertyName)

DoNotIncludeClusterNodes

Specifies that the host plug-in packages are not uninstalled from cluster nodes. If you set the parameter to True, then the host package is uninstalled only from the specified host.
