# update-cluster-remove(1)

parses configuration file and re-indents, and removes selected parts

## NAME

update-cluster-remove - parses configuration file and re-indents, and removes selected parts

## SYNOPSIS

**update-cluster-remove \[***OPTION***\] ... \<** *input-filename*

## DESCRIPTION

**update-cluster-remove** accepts XML input from standard input, and parses the content  and outputs an indented XML file to the standard output, with the  specified entries removed.

When no entries are specified, it is a pretty-formatter.

## OPTIONS

- **--ip \[***ip-address***\]**

  Specify the ip address of the system to be removed from the list.

- **--mac \[***MAC-address***\]**

  Specify the MAC address of the system to be removed from the list.

- **--master**

  Specify the nodes which have a  **notes**\
    content saying **master** to be excluded.

- **--bootmaster \[***bootmaster IP***\]**

  Specify the nodes with the bootmaster to be removed from the list. Usually used with the  **--not** option.

- **--not**

  Reverse the whole logic.

- **--failfound**

  Instead of the usual behavior, exit immediately with exit code of 1  as soon as something to output is found.

- **--help**

  Emits a short help message.

## EXAMPLES

- **update-cluster-remove \< cluster.xml**

  Pretty-print cluster.xml

- **update-cluster-remove --not --failfound --mac 00:11:22:33:44:55 \< cluster.xml**

  Exit with 1 if MAC address  **00:11:22:33:44:55** is registered in cluster.xml database.

## EXIT STATUS

When no problem is encountered, returns with 0, and on error , exits with 1. One exception is when  **--failfound** is specified, where it will return 1 when it succeeds also.

## NOTES

Please see the sample files, and read the  **README.Debian** file included. This command is intended to be used internally by the files in  */usr/lib/update-cluster/\*.updatelist*
