Documented steps

  1. List the deployment's pools and their identifiers: mc admin decommission status ALIAS (no TARGET) shows every pool with its ID and endpoint
  2. For classic single-arg deployments, use the full pool spec as TARGET, e.g. https://minio-{01...04}.example.net:9000/mnt/disk{1...4}
  3. For deployments started from a startup config file with multi-arg pool definitions, pools appear as hash:<hex> identifiers - copy the full hash string as TARGET (e.g. hash:a10f38e84ec12b)
  4. Use that value as the TARGET argument for mc admin decommission start|status|cancel ALIAS TARGET
  5. Re-list with mc admin decommission status ALIAS if unsure - never guess the identifier from memory
