Detach a cluster from the mesh

To detach a cluster from the service mesh managed by Service Mesh Manager, complete the following steps.

Prerequisites

  • The Service Mesh Manager CLI tool installed on your computer.
  • Access to the KUBECONFIG file of the cluster you want to detach from the service mesh.
  • Access to the KUBECONFIG file of the cluster that runs the primary Service Mesh Manager service.

Steps

  1. On the primary Service Mesh Manager cluster, detach the peer cluster from the mesh by running the following command.

    smm istio cluster detach <PEER_CLUSTER_KUBECONFIG_FILE>

  2. Wait until the peer cluster is detached. You can check the status of peer clusters by running the following command:

    smm istio cluster status

  3. (Optional) Navigate to the MENU > MESH page of the Service Mesh Manager dashboard and verify that the cluster you have detached is not shown in the Clusters list.
