Removing a managed host

You can remove non-Console managed hosts from your deployment. You can't remove a managed host that hosts the IBM® QRadar® Console.

Before you begin

Ensure that the managed host has the same IBM QRadar version and update package level as the QRadar Console that is used to manage it.

Important: If a data node is attached to the component that you want to remove, you must move the data node to another host before you remove the original host. For more information, see Moving a Data Node from one host to another in your deployment (https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/node/6847299).

Procedure

  1. On the navigation menu ( Navigation menu icon ), click Admin.
  2. In the System Configuration section, click System and License Management.
  3. In the Display list, select Systems.
  4. On the Deployment Actions menu, click Remove host and click OK.

    You can't remove a QRadar Console host.

  5. On the Admin tab, click Advanced > Deploy Full Configuration.
    Important: QRadar continues to collect events when you deploy the full configuration. When the event collection service must restart, QRadar does not restart it automatically. A message displays that gives you the option to cancel the deployment and restart the service at a more convenient time.
