Removing a Node from a Cluster

To remove a node from a cluster, stop the Spectrum™ Technology Platform server.

  1. To stop the server, right-click the Spectrum™ Technology Platform icon in the Windows system tray (shown below) and select Stop Spectrum™.
  2. Stop the node you want to remove:
    On Windows, right-click the Spectrum™ Technology Platform icon in the system tray and select Stop Spectrum™.
  3. Open the file server/conf/spectrum-container.properties in a text editor and set spectrum.cluster.enabled to false.
  4. On each of the other nodes in the cluster, open the spectrum-container.properties file and remove the node from the spectrum.cluster.seeds property.

For Spatial Module users: If you want to keep the node standalone and able to run outside the cluster, copy back the original repository.xml file and remove the following folders from the /server/modules/spatial/jackrabbit directory for each instance of Spectrum™ Technology Platform: repository, version, workspaces. Restart the server and import the repository content.
