KOP Upstream Clusters - Deprovisioning - Rafay Product Documentation

Deprovision

Deprovisioning an upstream cluster is a two step process.

Cluster Deletion UX Enhancement

To delete an upstream cluster in the Console:

In the Console, go to the Project with the cluster you want to delete.
For the cluster you want to delete, click the Settings icon (gear icon), then select Delete.
Select Delete Cluster Completely to delete cluster object from Rafay controller and all associated resources from the provider
Select Delete Cluster Object Only to delete cluster from Rafay controller only
Select/enter the cluster name and click Delete this Cluster

Important

To prepare nodes for reuse, run conjurer -d on each affected node after deletion. This command deletes all binaries and resets the nodes
The conjurer -d command cleans up the cron jobs brought up as part of the provisioning process, but does not affect user-created cron jobs

Once the delete request is submitted, the message below will be displayed, and the deletion process might take up to 20 minutes.

Note

The below change is only for users who are using the rctl apply path for cluster provisioning.

Changes Required:
- If you use automation scripts are using rctl applyflow that reference the users home directory path, you will need to update the path to /usr/bin for executing the Conjurer when deleting nodes. This change is necessary to ensure correct execution of the Conjurer binary.For more information refer these [Conjurer Changes for `rctl apply](https://docs.rafay.co/clusters/upstream/cli/#declarative)
For each node configured to run the cluster, run the following command:

./conjurer -d

A message appears asking you to confirm deprovisioning. Enter YES and press Enter.


`<br>1<br>2<br>`	<br>- Use ```YES```. Using ```yes``` does not confirm the deprovisioning command.<br>- Enter the sudo password, if required.<br>

If error messages display during deprovisioning, some can be ignored because these errors will resolve upon a reboot.
