Remove a Pod From the Pod Federation
You can use View Administrator to remove a pod that was previously joined to the pod federation. You
might want to remove a pod from the pod federation if it is being recommissioned for another purpose or if
it was wrongly configured.
To remove the last pod in the pod federation, you unitialize the Cloud Pod Architecture feature. See
“Uninitialize the Cloud Pod Architecture Feature,” on page 35.
IMPORTANT Do not stop or start a View Connection Server instance while it is being removed from a pod
federation. The View Connection Server service might not restart correctly.
Procedure
1 Log in to the View Administrator user interface for any View Connection Server instance in the pod
that you want to remove from the pod federation.
2 In View Administrator, select Cloud Pod Architecture and click Unjoin in the Pod Federation pane.
3 Click OK to begin the unjoin operation.
View Administrator shows the progress of the unjoin operation.
4 When View Administrator prompts you to reload the client, click OK.
After the View Administrator user interface is refreshed, Global Entitlements no longer appears under
Catalog and Sites no longer appears under View Configuration in the View Administrator Inventory
panel.
Uninitialize the Cloud Pod Architecture Feature
You can use View Administrator to uninitialize the Cloud Pod Architecture feature.
Prerequisites
You need to uninitialize the Cloud Pod Architecture feature on only one pod in the pod federation. If the
pod federation contains multiple pods, you must unjoin the other pods before you begin the uninitialization
process. See “Remove a Pod From the Pod Federation,” on page 35.
Procedure
1 Log in to the View Administrator user interface for any View Connection Server instance in the pod.
2 In View Administrator, select View Configuration > Cloud Pod Architecture.
3 In the Pod Federation pane, click Uninitialize.
4 Click OK to begin the uninitialization process.
After the uninitialization process is finished, your entire Cloud Pod Architecture configuration,
including sites, home sites, and global entitlements, is deleted.
5 When View Administrator prompts you to reload the client, click OK.
After the View Administrator user interface is refreshed, Global Entitlements no longer appears under
Catalog and Sites no longer appears under View Configuration in the View Administrator Inventory
panel.
