You must review the considerations for removing grid nodes, obtain required materials, and confirm no repair jobs are active for erasure-coded data.
Steps
Reviewing the considerations for decommissioning
You must understand the implications of removing grid nodes before you start this procedure. Removing a grid node impacts data security, the ILM policy, other maintenance procedures, and system operations.
Checking data repair jobs
Before removing a grid node, you must confirm that no data repair jobs are active. If any repairs have failed, you must restart them before performing the decommission procedure. If you need to decommission a disconnected Storage Node, you will also complete these steps after the decommission procedure completes. You must ensure that any erasure-coded fragments that were on the removed node have been restored successfully.
