To evacuate a compute node we can `nova host-evacuate <hostname>`. I did it like this on the access node:
```
nova --os-token gAAAAABoLXVPU1N-pYc8Xm7ypmWZX_hSuy7psMS_kudoYg6msHZdXYk_dordZB8Imm6-PT8916iPH5n9BvYLmHAQl7UGHuSNsfHZH8k_s1EPbfU8aE15s8Hu0ngNLW2amv_C-peJ8BZLHIl3K7cz2b05D0wRDnzbWl0h0w5NyY6aY_8YcMkVIzc --os-project-name hostnet --os-auth-url https://keystone.os1.openstack.group.one:5000/v3 host-evacuate n28.compute.env.vps1-cph8.one.com
```

[This](https://www.danplanet.com/blog/2016/03/03/evacuate-in-nova-one-command-to-confuse-us-all/) webpage has some useful information on evacuation in its different forms.
