Drain 12 mode prevents any new tasks from being allocated to the node, and begins 13 migrating all existing allocations away. 14 15 The [node-status](/docs/commands/node-status.html) command compliments this 16 nicely by providing the current drain status of a given node. 17 18 ## Usage 19 20 ``` 21 nomad node-drain [options] <node> 22 ``` 23 24 A node ID or prefix must be provided. If there is an exact match, the 25 drain mode will be adjusted for that node. Otherwise, a list of matching 26 nodes and information will be displayed. 27 28 It is also required to pass one of `-enable` or `-disable`, depending on which 29 operation is desired. 30 31 ## General Options 32 33 <%= general_options_usage %> 34 35 ## Node Drain Options 36 37 * `-enable`: Enable node drain mode. 38 * `-disable`: Disable node drain mode. 39 40 ## Examples 41 42 Enable drain mode on node1: 43 44 ``` 45 $ nomad node-drain -enable node1 46 ```
