Deactivate a Member

You may want to deactivate a member in preparation for deleting the unit, or temporarily for maintenance. This procedure is meant to temporarily deactivate a member; the unit will still appear in the management center device list.

Note

When a unit becomes inactive, all data interfaces are shut down; only the Management interface can send and receive traffic. To resume traffic flow, reenable clustering. The Management interface remains up using the IP address the unit received from the bootstrap configuration. However if you reload, and the unit is still inactive in the cluster, the management interface is disabled. You must use the console for any further configuration.

Procedure

Step 1

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

You can also deactivate a unit from the Cluster Status dialog box (Devices > Device Management > More (more icon) > Cluster Live Status).

Step 2

Confirm that you want to disable clustering on the unit.

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

Step 3

To reenable clustering, see Rejoin the Cluster.
