I made a error with the bootstrap command and known I have node called -i
and I will like to remove that node:
knife node list
-i
But when I try to run the delete command from knife this is the result:
knife node delete -i
Error: invalid option: -i
USAGE: knife node delete [NODE[,NODE]] (options)
-s, --server-url URL Chef Server URL
--chef-zero-host HOST Host to start chef-zero on
--chef-zero-port PORT Port (or port range) to start chef-zero on. Port ranges like 1000,1010 or 8889-9999 will try all given ports until one works.
-k, --key KEY API Client Key
--[no-]color Use colored output, defaults to enabled
-c, --config CONFIG The configuration file to use
--config-option OPTION=VALUE Override a single configuration option
--defaults Accept default values for all questions
-d, --disable-editing Do not open EDITOR, just accept the data as is
-e, --editor EDITOR Set the editor to use for interactive commands
-E, --environment ENVIRONMENT Set the Chef environment (except for in searches, where this will be flagrantly ignored)
--[no-]fips Enable fips mode
-F, --format FORMAT Which format to use for output
--[no-]listen Whether a local mode (-z) server binds to a port
-z, --local-mode Point knife commands at local repository instead of server
-u, --user USER API Client Username
--print-after Show the data after a destructive operation
-V, --verbose More verbose output. Use twice for max verbosity
-v, --version Show chef version
-y, --yes Say yes to all prompts for confirmation
-h, --help Show this message
So I am unable to delete this node.
Any suggestion?
With some kind of black magic and knife exec you can delete from command line like this:
knife exec -E "nodes.search('name:*i') { |n| n.destroy if n.name == '-i' }"
This will loop over all nodes with name ending with i, so it may take some time if you have a bunch of them, then it will destroy the node if it's name is exactly -i
.
If it's the result of a bootstrap you may have a client also, using clients
instead of nodes
should do.
