Procedure

To display a list of nodes, run the list-nodes subcommand of the asadmin utility command.
```
asadmin list-nodes
```
Important note

To display a list of nodes other than the nodes in the default domain, specify Admin_port in the --port option of the asadmin utility command, and then run the delete-node-config subcommand.
When this command is run, the result is displayed as follows:
```
node_name  CONFIG  IP_address_or_host_name
node_name  CONFIG  IP_address_or_host_name
The command list-nodes has been executed successfully.
```
To delete the node, run the delete-node-config subcommand of the asadmin utility command.
```
asadmin delete-node-config node_name
```
Important note
- To delete nodes in any domain other than the default domain, specify Admin_port in the --port option of the asadmin utility command and then run the delete-node-config subcommand.
- If another process (such as Windows Explorer) is using a file or directory below the node directory of the node to be deleted, deletion of the node might fail. Before deleting the node, confirm that other running programs are not using any files or directories below the node directory.
When this command is run, the result is displayed as follows:
```
The command delete-node-config has been executed successfully.
