You might need to change the perfmon config. Or disable perf monitoring.

I am trying to remove the GUI nodes from our cluster as they are no longer required. I have managed one but the other is proving to be a problem<br>
<br>
If I try and delete it I get<br>
<br>
[root@gpfs0 ~]# mmdelnode gui1<br>
mmdelnode: Node gui1.<redacted> is being used as a performance monitoring collector node.<br>
mmdelnode: Command failed. Examine previous error messages to determine cause.<br>
<br>
OK, lets change that<br>
<br>
[root@gpfs0 ~]# mmchnode --noperfmon -N gui1<br>
Sat 7 Feb 12:29:48 GMT 2026: mmchnode: Processing node gui1.<redacted><br>
mmchnode: Propagating the cluster configuration data to all<br>
affected nodes. This is an asynchronous process.<br>
<br>
<br>
That looks to have worked, lets try again 15 minutes later<br>
<br>
[root@gpfs0 ~]# mmdelnode gui1<br>
mmdelnode: Node gui1.<redacted> is being used as a performance monitoring collector node.<br>
mmdelnode: Command failed. Examine previous error messages to determine cause.<br>
<br>
Still no joy. From recollection the performance monitoring was only added as a requirement for setting up the GUI and was added to the GUI nodes.<br>
<br>
Do I have to designate another node for performance monitoring or is there a way to get rid of it altogether, given we don't have GUI nodes any more and are unlikely to have them ever again either.<br>
