Removing a node from the cluster
Use the Cluster Node Configuration page to remove a node from the cluster.
About this task
The option to remove a node is available only from the primary node. You can remove a member node from a primary node, but you cannot remove the primary node itself.
If a primary node ceases to function, you can promote a member node to be the new primary node. See Promoting a member node to the primary node. Then, you can remove the affected node from the cluster configuration. After the node is removed, it no longer functions as part of the cluster. After the node is repaired, you can add it back to the cluster.
The menu is displayed only in a cluster environment and not in a stand-alone environment.
Procedure
