Duplicate Server Entries in Controller

May 2017

When adding servers (MFEL, MFSP etc) to Controller using the configure.sh script, if you have already added a server once, and run the script again, you can end up with the same server listed twice, where one will show as not contactable.
Looking at the servers page from the Controller view (http://ipaddress:8080)
If a server has been added twice, you will see it listed twice, but with two unique names, and the same IP Address, one will report as being failed.
To remove the failed server, you need the name of that server (MFEL2 in the above example). You can then use the following command from an SSH session to remove it.

curl -XDELETE http://ipaddress:8080/api/servers/servername
Where:
ipaddress=ipaddress of the controller
servername=the name of the failed server listed in controller
