Close a host in the cluster

Closing a host in the cluster prevents further allocation. Cluster administrators can close a host in the cluster by following these steps:

  1. Select Resources > Monitor/Control Hosts > Hosts (List view).

    A list of hosts displays.

  2. Locate the host you want to close and select Actions > Close.
  3. Choose whether or not you want the host to be reclaimed before closing it. If the host is reclaimed, service instances running on the host are terminated and the workload is re-queued after the configured grace period. If the host is not reclaimed, the host will not be allocated in response to any new demands, but existing allocations on the host remain.
  4. If necessary, enter a comment for closing the host in the textbox.
    Note:

    If the EGO_HOST_COMMENT_ENFORCE parameter is set to ’Y" in the ego.conf file, a comment is required before you can close a host.

  5. Click Apply.
