Changing a Node to a Different Cluster

Once it has been disabled, a node can be changed to a different cluster. This can be helpful when the node computer is moved into the geographical location of a different cluster. Once the node has been modified, you must re-enable the node for it to function again.

To change the cluster of a node:

1

On the Manage Discovery Clusters pane, select the cluster.

2

In the bottom pane, select Discovery Nodes tab and select the node.

3

Click Disable Node.

4

Click Stop Node.

5

Click Change Cluster.

6

Select a new Assigned Cluster.

7

8

If required, select the node again.

9

Click Start Node.

Removing a Node

A node may need to be removed for a number of reasons, including:

•

You may be replacing the computer or hard drive hosting the node service.

•

Your node deployment failed. In this case, you must delete the node, and then re-create it. For more information, see Node Issues .

•

You want to delete a cluster.

•

You may no longer need the node.


	NOTE: You must disable a node before you can delete it.


	NOTE: When you remove a node, it uninstalls the node from the host computer. If the removal fails for any reason, you can use the Control Panel on the host computer to uninstall the Quest Enterprise Reporter Node.

To remove a node:

1

On the Manage Discovery Clusters pane, select the cluster.

2

In the bottom pane, select Discovery Nodes tab and select the node.

3

Click Disable Node.

4

Click Remove Node.

5

In the confirmation dialog box, optionally select Specify an alternate credential for removing the Node, select an account, and type a password.

6

The node’s state changes to Undeploying until it is removed.

Why Disable a Node?

You must disable and stop a node before moving it to a different cluster. For more information, see Changing a Node to a Different Cluster . You can also disable a node whenever you want to take the node offline, but you know you will be using the node again. For example, if you need to perform maintenance tasks on the node computer, you can disable a node. No work will be assigned to the node, but you can quickly bring it back online by enabling it. You also need to disable a node before you can stop it (see Stopping a Node ).

To disable a node

1

On the Manage Discovery Clusters pane, select the cluster.

2

In the bottom pane, select the Discovery Nodes tab and select the node.

You can multi-select nodes to disable all nodes in the cluster.

3

Click Disable Node.

If a node is actively processing a task, you will be prompted to either allow the task to finish processing, or cancel the task before disabling.

Once the action is complete, the status of the node will change to Disabled. For a listing of possible node statuses, see What does the status of a node or cluster indicate? .

Stopping a Node

If you want to stop the service on the node host computer, you can use the Stop Node button. For example, this is useful when you need to change the password for your node credentials.


	NOTE: You must disable a node before stopping it. For more information, see Why Disable a Node? .

1

On the Manage Discovery Clusters pane, select the cluster.

2

In the bottom pane, select the Discovery Nodes tab and select the disabled node.

3

Click Stop Node.

Occasionally the server will be unable to stop a node. In this case, you can use the Services console on the node host computer to stop the node.

4

Click Yes to confirm that the node should be stopped.

The node’s state changes to Stopping until it is stopped.
