Parameters
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
<packageName> |
Specifies the name of the package that you want to remove from the Windows Azure storage account. For example: myPackage.zip. |
/nodetemplate |
Specifies a Windows Azure node template. hpcpack uses the Windows Azure account name and storage key that is associated with the node template. |
/sas |
Specifies a Shared Access Signature (SAS) token. Note This parameter was introduced in Microsoft® HPC Pack 2012 and is not supported in previous versions. |
/scheduler |
Specifies the head node of the cluster. You can use this parameter along with the /nodetemplate parameter if there is no default head node specified on your computer. |
/account |
Specifies the public name of the Windows Azure storage account (the same storage name that you specify in the Windows Azure Node Template). This is the value of <storageAccountName> in the public URL of the account: https://<storageAccountName>.blob.core.windows.net. If you specify /account, you must also specify /key. |
/key |

/container |

/usehttp |
Specifies that you want to override the default https channel and force the communication to http over port 80. Note This parameter was introduced in with Service Pack 3 (SP3) and is not supported in previous versions. |
/folder |

/? |

/help |

Remarks
Removing a package from storage ensures that the package will not be deployed to Windows Azure nodes when hpcsync runs. Hpcsync runs automatically when Windows Azure nodes are deployed or when a node instance is reprovisioned by the Windows Azure system. You can also run Hpcsync manually.
hpcpack remove does not remove files from currently deployed Windows Azure nodes.
Examples
hpcPack remove lizard.zip /nodetemplate:AzureWorker
