Removing an vRealize Orchestrator Cluster Node

You can delete an vRealize Orchestrator so you can reduce your cluster capacity.

After removing a node from your vRealize Orchestrator cluster, that node will no longer be functional. If you want to use this node again, you must delete its vRealize Orchestrator Appliance from your vCenter and deploy it again. See Download and Deploy the vRealize Orchestrator Appliance.

Prerequisites

Create a vRealize Orchestrator cluster. See Configure a vRealize Orchestrator Cluster.

Procedure

1. Log in to the vRealize Orchestrator Appliance command line of the node you want to remove as root.
2. To remove the node from your vRealize Orchestrator, run the vracli cluster leave command.
3. Log in to the vRealize Orchestrator Appliance command line of one of the remaining nodes as root.
4. Run the kubectl -n prelude get nodes command and confirm that the removed node is no longer part of the cluster.
