Remove a cluster within a specific SDDC.

Prerequisites

  • If you want to remove a host with NFS enabled, verify that the NFS mount is active.
  • You must have the required privileges to perform this task.

Procedure

  • ♦ Send the following DELETE request to the server. The session ID is sent in the header and the host specification is sent in the body of the request. 
    https://{{server_ip}}:9443/api/v1/sddc/1/clusters/SEC_CLU
    curl --location --request DELETE "https://{{server_ip}}:9443/api/v1/sddc/1/clusters/SEC_CLU" \
  --header "Content-Type: application/json" \
  --header "JSESSIONID: {{JSESSIONID}}" \
  --data "{...}"

Results

A successful call returns the ID with the status: 
{
    "task_id": "1"
}
