Removing a TDV Server from an Active Cluster
You can remove a TDV Server from an Active Cluster:
• From the TDV Server node that you are removing.
• From any other TDV Server in the cluster.
In both cases, all remaining cluster nodes are automatically notified that the TDV Server has been removed.
When you remove a TDV Server from an Active Cluster, it becomes a stand-alone server that initially has all of the metadata and configuration settings of the cluster.
Note: You can use the removed cluster node to create a new cluster. For example, if you have developed and tested a particular TDV Server implementation and are ready to put it into a production environment.
If you are using a load balancer and you remove a TDV Server from a cluster, the load balancer still sends work to the removed server. You need to remove the TDV Server from load balancer’s configuration to make sure that requests intended for the cluster are known to all servers.
You can remove a TDV Server cluster node using the Manager Web interface or the command-line interface. You must know the computer name, username, password, and port information.
To remove a TDV Server from a cluster using Manager
1. Run TDV Server on the computer that you are removing from the Active Cluster.
2. In Studio, choose Launch Manager (Web) from the Administration menu.
Manager opens in your web browser.
3. Log in to Manager.
4. From the CONFIGURATION tab, choose Cluster.
The members of the Active Cluster are displayed along with their status.
5. Click the radio button next to the name of the TDV Server node you want to remove.
6. Click Remove Selected Cluster Node.
The TDV Server becomes a stand-alone server that retains all data that it had as part of the cluster.
To remove a TDV Server from a cluster using the command-line interface:
1. Run TDV Server on the computer that you are removing from the Active Cluster.
2. Open a DOS window or UNIX terminal and navigate to the bin directory of the TDV installation.
3. Enter the command:
cluster_util.bat (Windows) | cluster_util.sh (UNIX)
-server <cluster server hostname> [-port <cluster server port>]
-user <username> -password <password> [-domain <domain>]
-remove
[-memberServer <target server hostname>]
[-memberPort <target server port>]
[-debug]
Replace the information in the angle brackets with the appropriate information for a TDV Server in the cluster. Information in the square brackets is optional.
At a minimum, you must specify the name of a cluster server node you are removing and its username and password. For example:
$ ./cluster_util.sh -server localhost -port 9410 -user admin -password admin
-remove
This command removes the cluster node with the alias of localhost.
The cluster_util subcommands for removing a cluster node are described in
The -remove Subcommand.
