When did you add this configuration in NN conf? <property> <name>dfs.hosts.exclude</name> <value>/usr/local/hadoop/conf/dfs_exclude</value> </property>
If you have added this configuration after starting NN, it won't take effect and need to restart NN. If you have added this config with the exclude file before NN start, you can update the file with new hosts and refreshNodes command can be issued, then newly updated the DN's will be decommissioned.
