Remove a Server

If you need to remove a server from your iProcess Engine, for example, to take a server offline and upgrade it, you can use the following command:

swadm delete_server machine_id | machine_name

where:

•	machine_id is the server identifier (such as 1, 2 or 3) for the server you want to remove from iProcess Engine.

•	machine_name is the physical name of the server (such as pluto).

Example

If you have four servers in your iProcess Engine (in a node cluster), and you need to take the server called pluto offline to perform some kernel changes and upgrades, you can remove the server from the node cluster using the following command:

# swadm delete_server pluto

Alternatively, before removing the server from the cluster you can move the processes that currently run on the server to another server in the cluster using the move_server command on Move Processes From One Server to Another. You can only move background processes individually.

If you remove a server that is running only background processes, users may notice a reduction in the performance of case processing. However, if you remove a server that is running foreground processes such as a WIS, all of the clients need to log out of and then log back in.
