CLI Description	Command
Remove all other management nodes from the cluster Remove all other management nodes from the cluster. This will effectively convert a multi-node management cluster into a single node setup. The system will prompt for confirmation for this operation. It is recommended to use GSS guidance before using this command.	deactivate cluster
Delete NSX config Delete NSX config on this node without removing it as transport node from management plane.	del nsx
Delete NSX from host Destroy NSX environment on this host without removing its transport node from management plane. If there are no resources used by the NSX host switches, this command will delete the host switches and all NSX packages. If there are any resources on the host switches, the resources will first be migrated out of the NSX host switches and then the host switches and all NSX packages will be deleted.	del nsx
Delete NSX config, management IP, logs and filestore Delete NSX config on this node without removing it as transport node from management plane. Additionally clear logs, filestore and management IP from the node.	del nsx all
Delete NSX from host Destroy NSX environment on this host without removing its transport node from management plane. If there are no resources used by the NSX host switches, this command will delete the host switches and all NSX packages. If there are any resources on the host switches, the resources will first be migrated out of the NSX host switches and then the host switches and all NSX packages will be deleted. Skips the pre-checks.	del nsx force
Deregister Edge from management plane Detach this Edge from the management plane.	detach management-plane <hostname-or-ip-address[:port]> username <username> thumbprint <thumbprint> [password <password>]
Detach host from management plane Detach this hypervisor host from the management plane. You can specify any NSX Manager in the management cluster in this command. Use the API username and password for the specified NSX Manager. If you do not provide a password on the command line, you will be prompted to enter one. Get the NSX Manager thumbprint by running the get certificate api thumbprint command on the specified NSX Manager.	detach management-plane <hostname-or-ip-address[:port]> username <username> thumbprint <thumbprint> [password <password>]
Detach specified node from the cluster Detach the specified node from the cluster.	detach node <node-id-arg>
Detach specified node from the cluster without checking repository-ip modification errors Detach specified node from the cluster without checking repository-ip modification errors.	detach node <node-id-arg> ignore-repository-ip-check
Join this node to a NSX Cluster Join this node to a management cluster. You must provide the API username and password of a node that is already in the cluster. On that node, you can run the get cluster config command to get the cluster ID, and run the get certificate api thumbprint command to get the thumbprint. If you do not provide a password on the command line, you will be prompted to enter one.	join <ip-address[:port]> cluster-id <cluster-id> thumbprint <thumbprint> [token <api-token>] [username <username> [password <password>]] [force]
Join node to the management plane Join this node to the management plane.	join management-plane <hostname-or-ip-address[:port]> thumbprint <thumbprint> token <token> [node-uuid <uuid>] [replace]
Join host with management plane Join this hypervisor host with the management plane. You can specify any NSX Manager in the management cluster in this command. Use the API username and password for the specified NSX Manager. If you do not provide a password on the command line, you will be prompted to enter one. Get the NSX Manager thumbprint by running the get certificate api thumbprint command on the specified NSX Manager.	join management-plane <hostname-or-ip-address[:port]> username <username> thumbprint <thumbprint> [password <password>]
Join node to the management plane Join this node to the management plane.	join management-plane <hostname-or-ip-address[:port]> username <username> thumbprint <thumbprint> [password <password>] [node-uuid <uuid>] [replace]
Recover management plane account on the host Recover management plane account on the host. You can specify any NSX Manager in the management cluster in this command. Use the API username and password for the specified NSX Manager. If you do not provide a password on the command line, you will be prompted to enter one. Get the NSX Manager thumbprint by running the get certificate api thumbprint command on the specified NSX Manager.	reset management-plane <hostname-or-ip-address[:port]> username <username> thumbprint <thumbprint> [password <password>]
