Review the following prerequisites before you uninstall VCS:

• Before you remove VCS from any node in the cluster, shut down the applications that depend on VCS. For example, applications such as Java Console or any high availability agents for VCS.

• Before you remove VCS from fewer than all nodes in a cluster, stop the service groups on the nodes from which you uninstall VCS. You must also reconfigure VCS on the remaining nodes.

• If you have manually edited any of the VCS configuration files, you need to reformat them.
