Does Remove-Node stop the entire cache?

No, Remove-Node only removes the specific server node mentioned in the -Server parameter. The rest of the cluster nodes continue to operate and serve cache requests normally.

What is the difference between a normal stop and a Graceful Stop in Remove-Node?

A normal stop removes the node immediately. Using -GracefulStop ensures the node finishes pending client requests and transfers its data to other cluster members (state transfer) before leaving, preventing data loss in partitioned or replicated topologies.

Can I remove a node from NCache if security is enabled?

Yes, but you must provide administrative credentials using the -Credentials parameter to authorize the removal operation.

Remove-Node

The Remove-Node PowerShell cmdlet removes a specific server node from an existing NCache clustered cache. It supports graceful removal, allowing the node to complete in-flight operations and transfer data before leaving the cluster, thereby preserving data consistency and preventing data loss in clustered topologies.

Remove-Node -CacheName -Server [-GracefulStop] [-NoLogo] [-Port] [-Credentials]

Examples

This command removes the specified server node, i.e., 20.200.20.11 from the cache named demoCache.

Remove-Node –CacheName demoCache –Server 20.200.20.11

This command removes the server node 20.200.20.11 from the cache named demoCache from the local server by gracefully stopping it.

Remove-Node -CacheName demoCache -Server 20.200.20.11 –GracefulStop

This command removes the specified server node, i.e., 20.200.20.11 from the cache named demoCache using security credentials.

Remove-Node –CacheName demoCache –Server 20.200.20.11 -Credentials(Get-Credential john_smith)
