Remove a compute host from the cluster

When a host has been added to the cluster dynamically, you can remove it from the cluster again if needed.

  1. Close the host you want to remove.

    From Hosts (List), locate the host you want to close and select Actions > Close.

  2. Shut down EGO on the host.

    egosh ego shutdown

    The host becomes unavailable after about 2 minutes. If the host is being used by any application, the SSM releases the resource to EGO and asks for a replacement. Any tasks running on that host are re-allocated on a different host. EGO does not allocate work to the closed host.

You can physically remove your machine from the cluster (or its connection to the network).
