Prerequisites
• Minimum required privileges: Infrastructure administrator
• The compute node is activated.
• No virtual machine instances are deployed on the ESX cluster or KVM compute node. If
instances are deployed, then you must remove the instances and redeploy them on a different
compute node before you can deactivate the ESX cluster or KVM compute node. See Delete
instance (page 109).
Procedure 56 Deactivating an ESX cluster or KVM compute node
1. From the main menu, select Compute Nodes.
2. Select the ESX cluster or KVM compute node you want to deactivate.
3. Select Actions→Deactivate.
The Deactivate window opens.
4. Click Deactivate.
To exit without deactivating the cluster or compute node, click Cancel.
5. Verify that the ESX cluster or KVM compute node appears in a gray Unknown state on the
Compute Node overview screen.

Delete a compute node
Use this procedure to remove ESX clusters or KVM compute nodes from the Compute Nodes
overview screen.
• ESX clusters: The delete action removes the cluster from the Compute Node overview screen.
This action does not affect the ESX cluster itself, as it is managed in vCenter Server.
• KVM compute nodes: The delete action expires the DHCP lease for the compute node and
removes it from the Compute Nodes screen.
Prerequisites
• Minimum required privileges: Infrastructure administrator
• The compute node is deactivated. See Deactivate a compute node (page 106).
Procedure 57 Deleting an ESX cluster or KVM compute node
1. From the main menu, select Compute Nodes.
2. Select the ESX cluster or KVM compute node you want to delete.
3. Select Actions→Delete.
4. Click Yes, Delete.
To exit the action without deleting an ESX cluster or KVM compute node, click Cancel.
5. With the filter set to All statuses, verify that the ESX cluster or KVM compute node was removed
from the Compute Nodes overview screen.
