Troubleshooting (host cleanup)

If you do not use an external load balancer in the cluster, a host may not be fully cleaned up. In that case:

  • remove the host from the provider configuration;
  • reset the host to its snapshot;
  • return the host to this provider instance or add it to another one, if needed;
  • wait until the host shows the “Free” status.

If you use Ceph or Longhorn as external storage, to remove a specific host from a cluster node group:

  1. Mark the node inactive in the external storage management interface.
  2. Follow the standard host release procedure.

If needed, run Drain with additional parameters, for example to remove EmptyDir volumes. You can run Drain with parameters from the command line or from the platform GUI.
