PowerProtect Data Manager 19.12 Administration and User Guide

Delete operational Search Engine nodes

You can delete Search Engine nodes that have been added to the Search Engine and are in an operational state.

1. From the PowerProtect Data Manager UI, select Infrastructure > Search Engine.
2. Select the node from the list that you want to delete and click More Actions > Delete Node.

   In the Delete Search Engine Node window, choose one of the following options:

   CAUTION When you delete a node and its data, the Search Engine deletes the node without redistributing the data to the remaining nodes in the cluster. If the index data is deleted, the cluster becomes inactive.
   • Delete the node without data loss.

     To delete the node and move the index data to the remaining nodes in the cluster, click Delete Node.

   • Delete the node and its data.

     To allow the Search Engine to delete the node along with the index data it holds, select the check box and click Delete Node.

3. Go to the Jobs > System Jobs window to monitor the progress of the node deletion operation.
