Cancel Node Deployment

Applies To: Windows HPC Server 2008

You can stop the deployment process of a compute node from HPC Cluster Manager by cancelling the provisioning operations.

For information about using HPC Cluster Manager, see Overview of HPC Cluster Manager.

To cancel the deployment of a node

1. In Node Management, in the Navigation Pane, click Nodes.

2. To see only compute nodes that are currently being deployed, under Nodes, under By State, click Provisioning.

3. In the views pane, click the node that you want to stop deploying.

4. To cancel the provisioning operations, in the Detail Pane, on the Properties tab, click Cancel Operations. The deployment process will stop, the node will be moved to the Unknown state, and the health for that node will be changed to Provisioning Failed.
