Removing a controller from a Liberty collective replica set
During the life of a replica set, it might become necessary to remove one or more replicas from the replica set. You can use the collective utility removeReplica command to remove a replica from a replica set. A replica is a collective controller. The removeReplica command does not delete the collective controller server.
About this task
Administrators of a collective can enable a Liberty server to act as a collective controller using the replicate and addReplica commands and, after the controller is no longer needed, remove the controller from the collective using the removeReplica command.
After removal of a replica, the remaining replicas in the replica set do not require any updates to their configuration. However, you might want to update them so that their configurations in the server.xml files more accurately reflect the updated replica set.
