host in question chromeos6-row1-rack2-host5

mysql> SELECT * FROM afe_hosts WHERE hostname = 'chromeos6-row1-rack2-host5'\G;                         
*************************** 1. row ***************************
          id: 4903
    hostname: chromeos6-row1-rack2-host5
      locked: 0
    synch_id: NULL
      status: Running
     invalid: 1
  protection: 0
locked_by_id: NULL
   lock_time: NULL
       dirty: 1
      leased: 1
    shard_id: NULL

When I readd (./atest host create ...) it, it looks like this:
mysql> SELECT * FROM afe_hosts WHERE hostname = 'chromeos6-row1-rack2-host5'\G;
*************************** 1. row ***************************
          id: 4903
    hostname: chromeos6-row1-rack2-host5
      locked: 0
    synch_id: NULL
      status: Running
     invalid: 0
  protection: 0
locked_by_id: NULL
   lock_time: NULL
       dirty: 1
      leased: 1
    shard_id: NULL
 lock_reason: 
1 row in set (0.01 sec)


And I can't do anything with it (verify, repair, job).  Plus the shard_id should be 116 (chromeos-server70 for celes).

It seems like when a host is deleted, seems like the status field should be reset to 'Repair failed' or 'Ready'.
