How to delete a group of nodes

[Steve92]

Hello,

I’m testing how to delete a group of nodes.

I’ve identified 2 steps:

1. Delete all profile rules of the group of nodes to delete

$ sudo /etc/NX/nxserver --ruledel --node-group  Nodes_Group_01

gives error:

NX> 500 ERROR: Invalid command: '--ruledel --node-group   Nodes_Group_01'

 

2. Delete the group of nodes

sudo /etc/NX/nxserver --nodegroupdel Nodes_Group_01

 

Step 1 is mandatory because you can delete the group of nodes only if no profile rules are set for that group else it gives error:

NX> 900 Removing node group ' Nodes_Group_01'.

NX> 500 ERROR: Cannot remove node group.

NX> 500 ERROR: Profile rules are associated with this node group

So I’m stuck ! 🙁

$ sudo /usr/NX/bin/nxserver --rulelist

gives (abstract, lines with “Nodes_Group_01” ) :

Class       Type                        Value Apply to:

----------- --------------------------- ----- ----------------------

node       Nodes_Group_01               no    NX system

node       Nodes_Group_01               yes   USERS_GROUP_01 (group)

 

Could you help me, please ?

Thanks,

Regards.

Steve.

Hi,

in your case, you should use it like following
sudo /etc/NX/nxserver --ruledel --class node --type Nodes_Group_01 --group USERS_GROUP_01
sudo /etc/NX/nxserver --ruledel --class node --type Nodes_Group_01 --system

Hi !

Thanks, the rules are well deleted but

sudo /etc/NX/nxserver --nodegroupdel Nodes_Group_01

gives

NX> 500 ERROR: Invalid command: '–-nodegroupdel'

What’s wrong ?

Regards,

Steve.

Only thing that I could think of is not something with a hyphen type sudo /etc/NX/nxserver --nodegroupdel Nodes_Group_01.

Based on the copy of the output you did looks like the first “-” is longer than expected.
NX> 500 ERROR: Invalid command: '–-nodegroupdel'

Hi!

Yes, it was a copy/paste problem from MSWord (doesn’t like –) to terminal window  !

I’ve to warn the future admin team… or use notepad to type documentation. 😉

Steve.
