Remove-NetworkControllerNode

Module:
NetworkController Module

Removes a node from the network controller deployment.

Syntax

Default (Default) 

Remove-NetworkControllerNode
    [-Name <String>]
    [-Force]
    [-PassThru]
    [-ComputerName <String>]
    [-UseSsl]

    [-CertificateThumbprint <String>]
    [-WhatIf]
    [-Confirm]
    [<CommonParameters>]

Description

The Remove-NetworkControllerNode cmdlet removes a node from the existing set of nodes in a network controller deployment. You can use this cmdlet to scale down a cluster in the case that it has more capacity than is needed for operations. You cannot scale down from a three node deployment. If you want to move to a single node deployment from a three node deployment, you must unconfigure the cluster and configure it again with a single node.

Examples

Example 1: Remove a node from an existing network controller deployment by node name

PS C:\> Remove-NetworkControllerNode -Name "Node1"

This command removes the node named Node1 from the existing network controller deployment.

Parameters

-CertificateThumbprint

Specifies the digital public key X.509 certificate of a user account that has permission to perform this action. This is the certificate thumbprint of the certificate. Specify this parameter only if you run this cmdlet on a computer that is not part of the network controller cluster.
