Removing a KeyControl Vault Node from a Cluster
- Log into the KeyControl webGUI on any node you are not removing using an account with Domain Admin privileges.
- In the top menu bar, click Cluster.
- Click the Servers tab.
-
Select the node you want to remove.
Important: All unreachable nodes need to be removed together.
- Select Actions > Remove.
- Click Proceed at the prompt to confirm the request.
- KeyControl Vault removes the node and refreshes the Servers tab.
What to Do Next
If this node was part of a KeyControl Mapping and you elected to remove the node in the Mapping, make sure you shut down the node so that any VMs that are currently connected to this node will fail over to another node in the Mapping. The VMs will not get the updated Mapping from KeyControl Vault until they fail over to another KeyControl Vault node. For more information, see High Availability Between a VM and the KeyControl Vault Cluster.
If you want to rejoin the node to an existing KeyControl Vault cluster, see Joining or Re-joining a KeyControl Vault Cluster.
If you want to remove the node permanently, see Decommissioning a KeyControl Vault Node.
