3.6 Removing an Administration Node

To remove an administration node, do the following:

1. From the administration server host, run the remove-node command with the --force option.

   tadm> remove-node --force node_host
   

   If Oracle Traffic Director instances exist on the node, the remove-node command fails, unless you specify the --force option.

2. On the administration node host, run the unconfigure-server command, as shown in the following example:

   $ORACLE_HOME/bin/tadm unconfigure-server --instance-home=home/otd/instances
   

   This command stops and removes all instances of Oracle Traffic Director that are currently deployed on the administration node, and stops the administration node process on the host. You can no longer create Oracle Traffic Director instances on that host until you designate it again as an administration node.

For more information about the CLI commands mentioned in this section, see the Oracle Traffic Director Command-Line Reference or run the commands with the --help option.
