`POST /v1/{+name}:removeVirtualMachine`

Removes virtual machines from an existing exadb vm cluster.

## Path parameters

- `name` string, required

## Request body

- RemoveVirtualMachineExadbVmClusterRequest — The request for `ExadbVmCluster.RemoveVirtualMachine`.
  - `requestId` string — Optional. An optional ID to identify the request. This value is used to identify duplicate requests. If you make a request with the same request ID and the original request is still in progress or completed, the server ignores the second request. This prevents clients from accidentally creating duplicate commitments. The request ID must be a valid UUID with the exception that zero UUID is not supported (00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000).
  - `hostnames` string[] — Required. The list of host names of db nodes to be removed from the ExadbVmCluster.
