Removing a spoke server

You can remove a spoke server from the Operations Center.

To remove the spoke server from the group of servers that are managed by the hub server, complete the following steps:

1. From the IBM Spectrum® Protect command line, issue the following command on the hub server:

   QUERY MONITORSETTINGS

2. From the output of the command, copy the name that is in the Monitored Group field.
3. Issue the following command on the hub server, where group_name represents the name of the monitored group, and member_name represents the name of the spoke server:

   DELETE GRPMEMBER group_name member_name

4. Optional: If you want to move the spoke server from one hub server to another hub server, do not complete this step. Otherwise, you can disable alerting and monitoring on the spoke server by issuing the following commands on the spoke server:

   SET STATUSMONITOR OFF
   SET ALERTMONITOR OFF

5. Optional: If the spoke server definition is used for other purposes, such as enterprise configuration, command routing, storing virtual volumes, or library management, do not complete this step. Otherwise, you can delete the spoke server definition on the hub server by issuing the following command on the hub server:

   DELETE SERVER spoke_server_name

   Tip: If a server definition is deleted immediately after the server is removed from the monitored group, status information for the server can remain in the Operations Center indefinitely.

   To avoid this issue, wait until the status collection interval passes before you delete the server definition. The status collection interval is shown on the Settings page of the Operations Center.
