Remove Nodes from a Cluster

You can manage an existing cluster through GigaVUE‑FM by removing nodes from it. After a node is deleted from a cluster, it will become a standalone node. FM will continue to manage it.

For nodes leaving a cluster, the username and password of the admin account on the cluster will be used for managing the node after it has been removed from the cluster.

Note:  If you remove a node from a cluster using CLI commands, then the node is removed from GigaVUE‑FM. If you want the node to be managed by the same GigaVUE‑FM instance, you must add the node as a new device by providing the credentials.

To remove nodes of an existing cluster using GigaVUE‑FM:

1.

On the left navigation pane, click , and then select Physical > Nodes.

2.

Select a cluster and choose Actions > Edit Cluster.

The Edit Cluster - Canvas appears showing the existing stack link configuration details in the cluster wizard. Standalone devices appear in the Devices pane.

Note:  Only one device can be deleted from canvas per operation. It can be any device from the cluster.

3.

Right-click the device to be removed from the canvas and click Remove.

After the cluster update operation completes, a “Manage Cluster Completed” message appears.
