N1 Grid Service Provisioning System User's Guide and Release Notes for the WebLogic 8 Plug-In 1.0

ProcedureHow to Remove a WebLogic Cluster Member

When you remove a cluster member, the cluster member component is removed from the Managed Server and the Managed Server that acted as the cluster member returns to its original state. Applications that were targeted to the cluster, and therefore cluster members, are no longer hosted by the Managed Server after it is restarted. Applications targeted directly to the Managed Server continue to target the Managed Server.

When a Managed Server is removed from a cluster, the Managed Server is left in a stopped state. If you plan to continue using the Managed Server, you must restart it. See How to Start a Managed Server.

Before You Begin

To remove a cluster member, you must belong to a user group that has the Run Component Procedures permission on the folder that contains the component. You must also have the Allow on Host Set permission for the host set on which you plan to deploy the component.
