decommissioning a node

Our cluster has a node that reboot randomly.  So I've gone to Ambari, decommissioned its HDFS service, stopped all services, and deleted the node from the cluster.  I expected and fsck to immediately show under-replicated blocks, but everything comes up fine.  How do I tell the cluster that this node is really gone, and it should start replicating the missing blocks?
Thanks
John

OK, restarting all services now fsck shows under-replication.  Was it the NameNode restart?
