Delete a Cluster

You can delete an active cluster using Local UI. Deleting a cluster will return all hosts in the cluster to Ready status. Deleting a cluster does not unlink the linked hosts. If you want to use the hosts that were freed from the cluster, you must unlink them first. For more information about linking or unlinking hosts, refer to Link Hosts.

When you delete a cluster, the host where you performed the delete action from will be the new leader host of the group. For more information about leader hosts, refer to Link Hosts.

Prerequisites

  • Access to Local UI. Any Operating System user can be used to log in to Local UI.

  • An active cluster deployed and managed by Local UI.

Delete a Cluster

  1. Log in to Local UI on a control plane node where your cluster is deployed.

  3. In the upper-right corner of the Cluster page, click Actions.

  4. In the drop-down Menu that appears, click Delete.

  5. In the pop-up window that appears, click Confirm. During the deletion of the cluster, Local UI will become unavailable as the hosts reboot after cluster deletion.
