Removing a server from the cluster
There are two options for removing a server from a cluster.
Detach
This option makes it easy to later reattach the server to the cluster.
Run ClusterEditor.exe with the -detach parameter, on the cluster's Primary DPM server. This removes the server from the cluster and updates its status to detached in the site preparation file.
For example:
ClusterEditor.exe <site_preparation_file> [-detach <server_name>]
Delete
This option must be used when the server is no longer used, or when the server is attached to a different cluster.
Run ClusterEditor.exe with the -delete parameter, on the cluster's Primary DPM server. This removes the server from the cluster and removes its information from the site preparation file.
For example:
ClusterEditor.exe <site_preparation_file> [-delete <server_name>]
