Disable clustering

Disable clustering to temporarily deactivate a node in preparation for deleting the node or for maintenance purposes.

You may want to deactivate a node to delete it or for temporary maintenance. This procedure temporarily deactivates a node, but the node will still appear in the Cloud-Delivered Firewall Management Center device list. When a node becomes inactive, all data interfaces are shut down.

Note

Do not power off the node without first disabling clustering.

Procedure

Step 1

For the unit you want to disable, choose Devices > Device Management, click the More (more icon), and choose Disable Node Clustering.

Step 2

Confirm that you want to disable clustering on the node.

The node will show (Disabled) next to its name in the Devices > Device Management list.

Step 3

To reenable clustering, refer to Rejoin the Cluster.
