Removing nodes from an SFCFS cluster

Perform the following steps to remove a node from an SFCFS cluster.

To remove a node from an SFCFS cluster

  1. Take your application service groups offline (if under VCS control) on the node you want to remove.

    # hagrp -offline app_group -sys saturn
  2. Stop the applications that use VxFS/CFS mount points and are not configured under VCS. Use native application commands to stop the applications.

  3. Remove your application database instance from the node.

    For instructions, see your application documentation.

  4. Remove your application database software from the node.

    For instructions, see your application documentation.

  5. Stop VCS on the node:

    # hastop -local
  6. Unmount the VxFS/CFS file systems that are not under configured under VCS.

    # umount mount_point
  7. Uninstall SFCFS from the node using the SFCFS installer.

    # cd /opt/VRTS/install
    # ./uninstallsfcfs saturn

    The installer stops all SFCFS processes and uninstalls the SFCFS packages.

  8. Modify the VCS configuration files on the existing nodes to remove references to the deleted node.
