Removing a high availability replica

You can stop replication to a GitHub Enterprise Server replica temporarily, or permanently remove replication.

If necessary, stop a geo-replication replica from serving user traffic by removing the Geo DNS entries for the replica.
On the replica where you wish to temporarily stop replication, run ghe-repl-stop.
```
$ ghe-repl-stop
```
To start replication again, run ghe-repl-start.
```
$ ghe-repl-start
```

If necessary, stop a geo-replication replica from serving user traffic by removing the Geo DNS entries for the replica.
On the replica you wish to remove replication from, run ghe-repl-stop.
```
$ ghe-repl-stop
```
On the replica, to tear down the replication state, run ghe-repl-teardown.
```
$ ghe-repl-teardown
```
