Is there a way to move an Allocator from one zone to another without having to reinstall? I had an allocator that was unhealthy, I ended up deleting it, re-provisioning the VM, and re-built from scratch, but when I installed I passed it the wrong zone, was hoping there's an easier way to move it to the correct zone without having to go through all that re-install again.

Unfortunately it's a wipe/reinstall, sorry about that!
