Removing a missing host from the configuration

Once you remove the missing host from the configuration, you can push the new configuration to the remaining hosts.

  1. Double-click on the grid host in the Applications tab of the left pane in LifeCycle Manager.
  2. In the Host Maintenance tab of the right pane, click Remove Host.
  3. A confirmation window is shown. Complete the wizard and click Finish. At this time LCM may complain about not being able to run scripts and not being able to connect to the missing host. Under the circumstances this is expected. Acknowledge any error dialog box by clicking OK
  4. Double-click on the grid in the left panel of LifeCycle Manager.
  5. In the Grid Maintenance tab in the right pane, select Synchronize Grid.
  6. In the same pane, select Grid Management Pages and verify that the host is removed.
Note: At this point you have removed the missing host and the grid itself is back at a fully operational state. However, there may have been some resources that only existed on the missing host and they need to be replaced. As mentioned above, things may be missing that only existed on the removed host. This could be applications or routers with associated connection dispatchers. This has to be considered and if things are missing they must be replaced.
