Description

The Remove-HpcNode cmdlet removes the entry for one or more nodes from the HPC cluster management database. This cmdlet does not delete Microsoft® HPC Pack on the nodes. To delete a node completely, you must uninstall HPC Pack as well. You can use HPC Cluster Manager to add nodes that you deleted back to the cluster. HPC Cluster Manager is able to rediscover these deleted nodes.

Examples

Example 1: Remove a node

PS C:\>Remove-HpcNode -Name "Node11"

This command removes the node named Node11.

Example 2: Removes nodes by name

PS C:\>Get-HpcNode -Name "hpcr1*" | Remove-HpcNode

This command gets HpcNode objects for all of the nodes with names that start with hpcr1, and removes those nodes.

Parameters

-ClusterConnectionString

Specifies an array of cluster connection strings for the cluster to which you want to add the device drivers. The value format is host1,host2,host3. If you do not specify the ClusterConnectionString parameter, this cmdlet uses the connection string on the head node that the CCP_CONNECTIONSTRING environment variable specifies. To set this environment variable, run the following cmdlet: Set-Content Env: CCP_CONNECTIONSTRING \<head_node_name\>.

This parameter was introduced in HPC Pack 2016.

-Scheduler

Specifies the host name or IP address of the head node for the cluster that includes the nodes. The value must be a valid computer name or IP address.

Notes

  • The built-in ConfirmImpact setting for this cmdlet is Medium. If this ConfirmImpact setting is equal to or higher than the value of the $ConfirmPreference variable for your environment, the cmdlet prompts for confirmation unless you specify -Confirm:$False. If this ConfirmImpact setting is lower than the value of the $ConfirmPreference variable for your environment, the cmdlet does not prompt for confirmation unless you specify -Confirm or -Confirm:$True.
  • You must be a cluster administrator to run this cmdlet successfully.
