Disable Clustering

You may want to deactivate a node in preparation for deleting the node, or temporarily for maintenance. This procedure is meant to temporarily deactivate a node; the node will still appear in the management center device list. When a node becomes inactive, all data interfaces are shut down.

Note

Do not power off the node without first disabling clustering.

Procedure

Step 1

For the unit you want to disable, choose Devices > Device Management, click the More (more icon), and choose Disable Node Clustering.

Step 2

Confirm that you want to disable clustering on the node.

The node will show (Disabled) next to its name in the Devices > Device Management list.

Step 3

To reenable clustering, see Rejoin the Cluster.
