Unable to remove destination cluster

Symptoms

When trying to remove an offline geo-replication destination cluster, the following error message is displayed in the UI:

Failed to retrieve data for this destination cluster.

Causes

There could be several reasons, for example, the cluster might be offline, or the service ID of the cluster might have been revoked.

Resolving the problem

1. Go to your origin cluster. Log in to your cluster as an administrator by using the IBM Cloud Private CLI:
   cloudctl login -a https://<Cluster Master Host>:<Cluster Master API Port>
   The master host and port for your cluster are set during the installation of IBM Cloud Private.
2. Run the following command to start the Event Streams CLI: cloudctl es init
3. Retrieve destination cluster IDs by using the following command:
   cloudctl es geo-clusters
   Look for the destination cluster ID that you want to remove.
4. Run the following command:
   cloudctl es geo-cluster-remove --destination <destination-cluster-id> --force
