This article describes how to remove a server from a XenServer pool that contains only one server. 

The procedure to remove servers is also described in the XenCenter help. When you remove a server from a pool that contains only one server (Pool Master), the pool will be deleted and the Pool Master will be converted into a standalone server.

Instructions

You can remove a server from a XenServer pool by using XenCenter management console or by using the xe Command Line Interface (CLI).

To remove a server using XenCenter

1. Select the pool in the Resources pane.

2. From the Pool menu, select Make into standalone server. This option is highlighted only when a pool contains one server.
   

To remove a server using the xe CLI

Each XenServer host is a pool consisting of a single member by default, and nothing is set to the name-label of the pool. When users create a new pool in XenCenter, it sets the name-label and other parameters of the host’s pool (the host is the master server of the pool).

The parameters are manipulated with the standard parameter commands. Therefore, when no secondary servers are in the pool (meaning that the pool contains only one host), users can delete the pool by setting the name-label of the pool to a blank name. For example:

xe pool-param-set name-label="" uuid=<uuid of the pool>
