Removing an Existing Server
To remove a server from a Terracotta cluster configuration, follow these steps:
1. Shut down the server you want to remove from the cluster. If you shutting down an active server, first ensure that a backup server is online to enable failover.
2. Delete the <server> block associated with the removed server from the Terracotta configuration file being used by the cluster. Make sure you are connected to the TMC, and that the TMC is connected to the target cluster. See the Terracotta Management Console User's Guide for more information on using the TMC.
3. With the target cluster selected in the TMC, click the Administration tab, then choose the Change Topology panel.
4. Click Reload. A message appears with the result of the reload operation. A successful operation logs a message similar to the following:
2013-03-14 13:25:44,821 INFO - Successfully overridden server topology
from file at '/bigmemory-max-4/tc-config.xml'.
The TMC will also display the event
Server topology reloaded from file at '/bigmemory-max-4/tc-config.xml'.
