I do not think it's going to do what you want when the node you want to delete is down. It looks like we only temporarily stop the gw from being exported. It does not update the gateway.cfg, because we do the config removal call on the node we want to delete. So gwcli would report success and the ls command will show it as no longer running/exported, but if you restart the rbd-target-api service then it will show up again. There is an internal command to do what you want. I will post a PR for gwlci and so it can be used by dashboard.
