Deleting Trustgrid Nodes

Describes the process of deleting Trustgrid nodes along with best practices

Best Practices

  • Disable the node(s) for several days prior to deleting. This way if it is discovered that it is still needed it is simple to re-enable.
  • Update any status tag to indicate the node(s) is being decommissioned.
  • Before deleting, remove any virtual network routes with the node as a destination. While these can be removed later, they will be easier to find while the node is still listed as the destination.

Deleting Nodes

  1. If the node(s) is not already disabled, disable the node(s) See best practice above before proceeding
  2. If the node(s) is a member of a cluster, remove the node(s) from the cluster.
  3. Navigate to the Nodes table and select the target node(s).
  4. From the Actions menu select the Delete option.
