Remove Cache from the Bridge

You can remove a cache from the Bridge, even if the Bridge is in the running state. This page explains how to remove a cache from a Bridge using the NCache Management Center.

Using the NCache Management Center

  • Launch the NCache Management Center by browsing to http://localhost:8251 or <server-ip>:8251.

  • In the left navigation bar, click on Bridges. It will open up a list of pre-existing Bridges. From the list, select the Bridge Name and go to View Details.

Clustered Cache added to Bridge

  • On the page opened with details, select the cache to be removed by selecting the checkbox next to the cache name.

  • You can remove the Bridge caches using either of the two methods:

    • Method 1: Go to the Bridge Caches section and click on the "..." button. Select the Remove option.

    • Method 2: Click on the Remove Bridge Caches toolbar button from the toolbar to remove the cache.

Remove Bridge Caches

  • When you click Remove, a prompt will appear, asking for confirmation before the cache is removed.

Confirm Cache Removal

  • Once you confirm the removal, if your Bridge is running, you will receive a notification: "A running bridge cannot have less than 2 cache clusters. Please stop the bridge and then remove the cache". In case your Bridge is stopped, a success message will be prompted on the screen in case of successful removal of the cache.

Using PowerShell

The Remove Bridge Cache cmdlet enables the user to remove an existing clustered cache from a specified Bridge.

  • This command removes an existing clustered cache named demoCache.WestCoast from the Bridge named demoBridge on 20.200.20.39 using default Port 9900.
Remove-BridgeCache -Name demoBridge -Server 20.200.20.39 \
                   -CacheFullName demoCache.WestCoast -Port 9900
  • This command removes the clustered cache demoCache.WestCoast forcefully from the Bridge named demoBridge, even if the Bridge is running.
Remove-BridgeCache -Name demoBridge -Server 20.200.20.39 -CacheFullName demoCache.WestCoast -Force
  • This command removes an existing clustered cache named demoCache.WestCoast from the Bridge named demoBridge on 20.200.20.39 using security credentials.
Remove-BridgeCache -Name demoBridge -Server 20.200.20.39 \
                   -CacheFullName demoCache.WestCoast -Credentials(Get-Credential john_smith)
Note

The Remove-BridgeCache command can be used to remove caches from Bridges even when the load balancer is enabled.
