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.
