Administration Guide
Name
rmnode - Removes a node definition from the CSM
database.
Synopsis
rmnode [-h] [-f
file ] [-N group
][-v | -V [ host
[host ...]]
Description
The rmnode command is run on the management server and
deletes a managed node definition from the CSM database. The managed
node is represented by the host parameter, which can be specified
by either host name or IP address. Removing a node from a cluster does
not uninstall CSM and its prerequisites from the node. Rather, it
disassociates the node from its management server. It removes the node
from the database of the management server, and it informs the node that it is
no longer attached to the management server.
- Note:
- The -P option is no longer valid for this
command.
Options
- -h
- Writes the command's usage statement to standard output.
- -f file
- Specifies a file that contains a list of nodes names. If the file
name is "-", then the list is read from stdin. The file can contain
multiple lines and each line can have one or more node names, separated by
spaces and/or commas.
- -v | -V
- Writes the command's verbose messages to standard output.
- -N group
- Remove the nodes that are in the node groups specified. The node
group is evaluated by the nodegrp command. Multiple node
groups can be separated by commas or spaces (if the list is
quoted).
Exit Status
- 1
- A combination of options and arguments has been entered that is not
valid.
- 12
- Node not found.
- 13
- No nodes were specified.
If an error occurs in the RMC layer, the RMC return code will be
returned as the exit status.
Examples
- To remove the node named websvr from the CSM database,
type:
rmnode websvr
