Removing Members from Machine Groups

Members can be removed from machine groups. Whenever the last member of a machine group is removed, the group definition is also removed.

The Web-based System Manager NIM application can be used to remove members from machine groups.

From Web-based System Manager

1. Select the Groups container.
2. From the Selected menu, choose Add/Remove Members.
3. Select a machine from the list on the left and click on the > button to add the machine to the list on the right. Continue with this step until all the desired members of the machine group have been removed.
4. Click on OK.

From SMIT

1. To remove members from a machine group, enter the smit nim_chgrp fast path.
2. Select the machine group to modify.
3. Specify members to remove from the group. Use the LIST option to select members to remove.

From the Command Line

To remove a member from a machine group, enter the following command:

nim -o change -a rm_member=MachineName GroupName

For example, to remove machine, Standalone2, and add machine, Standalone4, to the group, MacGrp1, enter:

nim -o change -a rm_member=Standalone2 \
-a add_member=Standalone4 MacGrp1
