Drain 12 mode prevents any new tasks from being allocated to the node, and begins 13 migrating all existing allocations away. Allocations will be migrated according 14 to their [`migrate`][migrate] stanza until the drain's deadline is reached. 15 16 By default the `node drain` command blocks until a node is done draining and 17 all allocations have terminated. Canceling the `node drain` command *will not* 18 cancel the drain. Drains may be canceled by using the `-disable` parameter 19 below. 20 21 When draining more than one node at a time, it is recommended you first disable 22 [scheduling eligibility][eligibility] on all nodes that will be drained. For 23 example if you are decommissioning an entire class of nodes, first run `node 24 eligibility -disable` on all of their node IDs, and then run `node drain 25 -enable`. This will ensure allocations drained from the first node are not 26 placed on another node about to be drained. 27 28 The [node status](/docs/commands/node/status.html) command compliments this 29 nicely by providing the current drain status of a given node. 30 31 ## Usage 32 33 ``` 34 nomad node drain [options] <node> 35 ``` 36 37 A `-self` flag can be used to drain the local node. If this is not supplied, a 38 node ID or prefix must be provided. If there is an exact match, the drain mode 39 will be adjusted for that node. Otherwise, a list of matching nodes and 40 information will be displayed. 41 42 It is also required to pass one of `-enable` or `-disable`, depending on which 43 operation is desired. 44 45 ## General Options 46 47 <%= partial "docs/commands/_general_options" %> 48 49 ## Drain Options 50 51 * `-enable`: Enable node drain mode. 52 * `-disable`: Disable node drain mode. 53 * `-deadline`: Set the deadline by which all allocations must be moved off the 54 node. Remaining allocations after the deadline are force removed from the 55 node. Defaults to 1 hour. 56 * `-detach`: Return immediately instead of entering monitor mode. 57 * `-force`: Force remove allocations off the node immediately. 58 * `-no-deadline`: No deadline allows the allocations to drain off the node 59 without being force stopped after a certain deadline. 60 * `-ignore-system`: Ignore system allows the drain to complete without stopping 61 system job allocations. By default system jobs are stopped last. 62 * `-keep-ineligible`: Keep ineligible will maintain the node's scheduling 63 ineligibility even if the drain is being disabled. This is useful when an 64 existing drain is being cancelled but additional scheduling on the node is not 65 desired. 66 * `-self`: Drain the local node. 67 * `-yes`: Automatic yes to prompts. 68 69 ## Examples 70 71 Enable drain mode on node with ID prefix "4d2ba53b": 72 73 ``` 74 $ nomad node drain -enable f4e8a9e5 75 Are you sure you want to enable drain mode for node "f4e8a9e5-30d8-3536-1e6f-cda5c869c35e"?
