Name
Manage > HighAvailability > RemoveNode — Remove a node from a high availability (HA) setup.
SYNOPSIS
RemoveNode HostName
DESCRIPTION
This command removes a configured compute node from an HA setup for maintenance, replacement, or re-purposing. When you remove a node, the data that was backed up with that node remains available from the other node in the HA setup
If you remove a node from the HA setup, it cannot be upgraded. HA nodes must be upgraded from within the HA setup.
Note:
This command can only be used on appliance model 53xx media servers. Appliance model 52xx primary or media servers cannot be used to run this command.
OPTIONS
- RemoveNode HostName
Use this command to remove a node from an HA setup. The HostName is the physical host name of the node. This command can only be run on the node that is not to be removed from the setup.
Note:
You cannot perform this operation with the virtual host name or the virtual IP address. You must use the physical host name or the physical IP address of the specific node.
You can only revert the partner node to be a non-HA node by running the RemoveNode command. If you attempt to run a factory reset or initiate a rollback to a non-HA checkpoint on a node in an HA setup, the HA setup can malfunction.
If you need to add the node back to the HA setup, perform the following tasks in the order as they appear:
Refer to the FactoryReset command to reset the node to the factory default settings.
Note:
Before you perform the factory reset, make sure that you first perform the following tasks:
Remove the node from the HA setup with this command.
Remove the Ethernet cables between the two nodes and the FC cables between the node and the Primary Storage Shelf.
Refer to the Manage > High Availability > AddNode command.
To replace the removed node with a different node, refer to the NetBackup Appliance High Availability Reference Guide.
