Deleting Nodes

If you permanently remove a node from the Sun HPC cluster, you should then delete the corresponding node object from the CRE resource database.

Recommendations

Before deleting a node, you should first

• Remove it from any enabled partition by unsetting its partition attribute (automatically removing the node from the partition's nodes attribute list), or by removing it from the partition's nodes attribute list. See "Partition Attributes" for details.

• Wait for any jobs running on it to terminate, or stop them using the mpkill command, which is described in the Sun HPC Cluster Runtime Environment 1.0 User's Guide.

Using the delete Command

To delete a node, use the delete command within the context of the node you want to delete.

N(node3):: delete[node0] Node::
