To remove a node from a running cluster, do the following:

#. Backup the current configuration file.
#. Halt the node to be removed::

      cmhaltnode -n ${node}

#. Delete all references to the soon to be removed node in all package 
   config files
#. Obtain a current cluster configuration file::

      cmgetconf ${config}

#. Edit the configuraton file and comment out all references to the node 
   to be removed.
#. ``cmcheckconf -C ${config}``
#. ``cmapplyconf -C ${config}``
