=== Description

Use the `delete-http-lb-ref` subcommand to remove a reference to a
cluster or standalone server instance from a load balancer configuration
or load balancer. So that you do not interrupt user requests, make sure
the standalone server instance or all server instances in the cluster
are disabled before you remove them from the load balancer
configuration. If the `force` option is set to true, the references are
deleted even if server instances or clusters are enabled.
