Removing a node from a deployment manager

Before uninstalling an IBM® Sametime® server that was federated at install time or during registration, remove the node from the deployment manager.

About this task

The Sametime Bandwidth Manager runs on IBM WebSphere 7. For additional information on removing a node from the deployment manager, see the removeNode command in the WebSphere® Application Server 7 information center. See Deleting specific cluster members for information on removing a cluster member.

Other Sametime servers run on WebSphere 8.5.5. For information on removing a node from the deployment manager, see the removeNode command in the WebSphere Application Server 8.5.5 information center. See Deleting specific cluster members for information on removing a cluster member.

Procedure

  1. In the deployment manager's Integrated Solutions Console, click System administration > Nodes.
  2. On the "Nodes" page, select the check box preceding the node that you want to remove. The remove node operation can only be performed on one node at a time.
  3. At the top of the table, click Remove Node. Enter the deployment manager user name and password for your deployment manager, and click OK.

    If you cannot remove the node by clicking Remove Node, remove the node from the configuration by clicking Force Delete.

  4. Save your change by clicking the Save link in the "Messages" box at the beginning of the page.

    When the node is removed, this message displays: Removal of node node name is complete.
