Uninstall Portworx using a Nomad job

There are two steps to completely uninstall Portworx from Nomad:

• Remove the Nomad Portworx job
• Run the px-node-wiper Nomad batch job to uninstall Portworx binaries from Nomad client nodes

Remove Nomad portworx job

To remove the Portworx job, run the following command:

nomad job stop -purge portworx

Delete/wipe a Portworx cluster

note

The commands used in this section are DISRUPTIVE and will lead to the loss of all your data volumes. Proceed with CAUTION.

Save the Nomad batch job in a file called px-node-wiper.nomad:

job "px-node-wiper" {
  type        = "batch"
  datacenters = ["dc1"]

  group "px-node-wiper" {
    count = 3

    constraint {
      operator  = "distinct_hosts"
      value     = "true"
    }

    task "px-node-wiper" {
      driver = "docker"
      kill_timeout = "120s"   # allow portworx 2 min to gracefully shut down
      kill_signal = "SIGTERM" # use SIGTERM to shut down the nodes

      # container config
      config {
        image        = "portworx/px-node-wiper:2.10.0"
        network_mode = "host"
        ipc_mode = "host"
        privileged = true
        args = [
            "--removedata"
        ]

        volumes = [
            "/etc/pwx:/etc/pwx",
            "/opt/pwx:/opt/pwx",
            "/proc:/hostproc",
            "/etc/systemd/system:/etc/systemd/system",
            "/var/run/dbus:/var/run/dbus"
        ]
      }

      # resource config
      resources {
        cpu    = 1024
        memory = 2048
      }
    }
  }
}

You will have to make changes to this file to match your portworx.nomad file, i.e., update datacenter, count and constraints.

Then, run the following command:

nomad run px-node-wiper.nomad

Wait for all instances to complete:

nomad status px-node-wiper

ID            = px-node-wiper
Name          = px-node-wiper
Submit Date   = 2019-05-08T01:17:53Z
Type          = batch
Priority      = 50
Datacenters   = dc1
Status        = dead
Periodic      = false
Parameterized = false
