clean

The clean command is used to disable and uninstall a grid.

Important: The clean command destroys all data on a grid. The command prompts for confirmation. Use the aldo clean command only to de-commission a grid from which all valuable data has been saved.

This command has the following format:

aldo clean grid=name [ controller_ip= ] [ controller_name= ]

grid=name: Name of the grid to destroy. Required.
controller_ip=ipaddr: Address of the grid controller. This value is not required if the grid was installed from the same distribution server on which the clean command is being run.
controller_name=host: DNS name of the grid controller. This value is not required if the grid was installed from the same distribution server on which the clean command is being run.

Examples:

Enter the command:

aldo clean grid=test1

Result: The command cleans grid test1.

Enter the command:

aldo clean grid=test2 controller_ip=10.64.64.64

Result: The command cleans grid test2 but with an explicit controller address specified. This format is a safer option as it works even if the configuration cache on the distribution server is not present.
