Remove host member from host cluster

You can use the management GUI to remove members of a host cluster.

When a host is removed from a host cluster, you can convert the shared mappings of the host cluster to private mappings or remove all shared mappings from the host. If shared mappings are converted to private mappings, volume access is not removed since the volume remains mapped to the host and its SCSI ID remains unchanged. If you choose to remove the shared mappings when you remove a host, only the private mappings for that host are retained when it is removed from the host cluster. When you remove the shared mapping, hosts cannot access those volumes that were mapped as shared mappings to the host cluster.

To remove a host from a host cluster using the management GUI, complete these steps:

In the management GUI, select Hosts > Host Clusters.
On the Host Cluster page, select a host cluster and select Actions > Remove Hosts.
On the Remove Host Member page, select the host or hosts that you want to remove from the host cluster. Select Keep Mappings to retain all the shared mappings in the host cluster as private mappings for the selected hosts. Select Remove Mappings to remove all the shared mappings if the host or hosts that is being removed no longer require access to these volumes.
Click Next.
On the Summary page, verify the settings and click Remove Host.
