Disband a Cluster

The following procedure describes how to disband a cluster. Disbanding a cluster involves removing each member, and then removing the controller. Before removing each member, you should set the member offline and drain existing connections.

To disband a cluster

1. In the Application Center snap-in, right-click a member.

2. On the pop-up menu, point to All Tasks, and then click Remove Server from Cluster.

3. Repeat steps one and two for each member (except the controller).

4. When you have removed all members from the cluster, right-click the controller.

5. On the pop-up menu, point to All Tasks, and then click Disband Cluster.

6. Click OK to confirm disbanding of the cluster.

 Note   When a cluster is disbanded, the applications and other content are still intact on the controller. Only Application Center features are stopped.
