Delete a compute node

Use this procedure to remove ESX clusters or KVM compute nodes from the Compute Nodes overview screen.

  • ESX clusters: The delete action removes the cluster from the Compute Node overview screen. This action does not affect the ESX cluster itself, as it is managed in vCenter Server.

  • KVM compute nodes: The delete action expires the DHCP lease for the compute node and removes it from the Compute Nodes screen.

Prerequisites 

Deleting an ESX cluster or KVM compute node

  1. From the main menu, select Compute Nodes.

  2. Select the ESX cluster or KVM compute node you want to delete.

  3. Select ActionsDelete.

  4. Click Yes, Delete.

    To exit the action without deleting an ESX cluster or KVM compute node, click Cancel.

  5. With the filter set to All statuses, verify that the ESX cluster or KVM compute node was removed from the Compute Nodes overview screen.
