4.2. Removing Servers from the Trusted Storage Pool
Warning
Before detaching a peer from the trusted storage pool, make sure that the clients are not using the node. If 'backup-volfile-servers' has not been executed while mounting, remount the clients using the IP/HOSTNAME of another server in the trusted pool, to avoid inconsistencies.
Run
gluster peer detach server to remove a server from the storage pool.
