You're viewing documentation for an unstable version of ScyllaDB Open Source. Switch to the latest stable version.
Before removing (decommission) the data-center from the cluster, it is essential to verify that the data-center that is about to be removed does not hold any unique data.
Verify that there are no client writes to nodes in the data-center that is to be decommissioned.
Check the cluster status using the nodetool status command to understand the cluster deployment.

Run the nodetool repair -pr command on each node in the data-center that is going to be decommissioned. This will verify that all the data is in sync between the decommissioned data-center and the other data-centers in the cluster.
For example:
If the ASIA-DC cluster is to be removed, then, run the nodetool repair -pr command on all the nodes in the ASIA-DC
ALTER every cluster KEYSPACE, so that the keyspaces will no longer replicate data to the decommissioned data-center.
For example:
cqlsh> DESCRIBE <KEYSPACE_NAME>
cqlsh> CREATE KEYSPACE <KEYSPACE_NAME> WITH REPLICATION = {'class' : 'NetworkTopologyStrategy', '<DC_NAME1>' : 3, '<DC_NAME2>' : 3, '<DC_NAME3>' : 3};
cqlsh> ALTER KEYSPACE <KEYSPACE_NAME> WITH REPLICATION = {'class' : 'NetworkTopologyStrategy', '<DC_NAME1>' : 3, '<DC_NAME2>' : 3};
For example:
There are three data-centers: US-DC, ASIA-DC and EUROPE-DC, the ASIA-DC is to be removed. The current KEYSPACE is:
cqlsh> DESCRIBE nba
cqlsh> CREATE KEYSPACE nba WITH REPLICATION = {'class' : 'NetworkTopologyStrategy', 'US-DC' : 3, 'ASIA-DC' : 2, 'EUROPE-DC' : 3};
Use the ALTER KEYSPACE to change the KEYSPACE and remove the decommissioned data-center.
cqlsh> ALTER KEYSPACE nba WITH REPLICATION = {'class' : 'NetworkTopologyStrategy', 'US-DC' : 3, 'EUROPE-DC' : 3};
Run nodetool decommission on every node in the data center that is to be removed. Refer to Remove a Node from a ScyllaDB Cluster - Down Scale for further information.
For example:
If ASIA-DC is to be removed, then, execute the nodetool decommission command on all the nodes in this data-center.
Verify that the data-center was successfully removed by using the nodetool status command.
