 If you are using xCAT service nodes the B<rmdsklsnode> command will automatically determine the correct server(s) for the node and remove the NIM definitions on that server(s).
 
+If the node you are trying to remove is currently running the B<rmdsklsnode> command will not remove the definitions.  You can use the "-f" option to shut down the node and remove the definition.  You can also use the "-r" option to leave the node running but remove the NIM definitions.

 Use the xCAT B<rmdef> command to remove xCAT node definitions.
