Delete specific cluster members
Use this task to remove a cluster member from an existing cluster. Removing a cluster member deletes the associated application server.
We must delete an application server to remove it from a cluster.
If, in the administrative console, we select Include cluster members in the collection as one of our console page preferences for the Application servers page, we can use either the Application servers page or the Cluster members page to delete an application server.
To use the Cluster members page to remove an application server from a cluster:
Tasks
- In the administrative console, click...
Servers > Clusters > WebSphere application server clusters > .
- Click the name of the cluster containing the cluster member that we are removing from the cluster> Cluster members.
- Check the status of the cluster member that we are removing. If the cluster member is started, select the cluster member, and click Stop, and then view the Status of this cluster member again, along with any messages or logs to make sure the cluster member stops. We cannot remove a cluster member while it is running.
- Delete the cluster member. Select the cluster member we want to delete, and click Delete.
- Click OK and then click Review to preview our changes.
- Select Synchronize changes with Nodes> Save to save the changes.
The cluster member is deleted.
