Removing deprecated resource types


Removing deprecated resource types
Prev	Deprecated agents	Next

With VCS 5.0.1, certain resource type definitions are no longer used. Before you start the upgrade process, you must remove the resources of the deprecated resource types from your cluster configuration.

The list of resource types that are not used in VCS 5.0.1 are as follows:

CampusCluster
ClusterMonitorConfig
ServiceGroupHB

Note:

The ClusterConnectorConfig resource type has replaced the ClusterMonitorConfig resource type.

Review the changes to VCS agents in version 5.0.1.

If you use the resource type ServiceGroupHB, Symantec recommends the use of I/O fencing.

Note:

Make sure you start VCS on the local node before starting on the other nodes. This standard ensures that HAD reads the configuration from the local node and updates it on the remaining nodes.

Perform the following steps to remove the deprecated resource types.

To remove the deprecated resource types

Save the VCS configuration and stop the VCS engine.
```
# haconf -dump -makero
# hastop -all -force
```
Back up the configuration file, main.cf to a location on the cluster node.
Edit the main.cf located under /etc/VRTSvcs/conf/config.
Perform the following instructions:
- Remove the resource of the deprecated resource types.
  
  You must modify the resource dependencies to ensure that the configuration works properly.
- Save the main.cf.
- Reformat the main.cf file.
```
# hacf -cftocmd config
# hacf -cmdtocf config
```

Verify the configuration.

# cd /etc/VRTSvcs/conf/config
# hacf -verify config

Start VCS on the local node.
Start VCS on other nodes.
