Uninstalling HDLM in a clustered (MSCS or VCS) environment

To uninstall HDLM in an MSCS or VCS environment perform the following steps. Refer to HDLM documentation for details.

Uninstalling HDLM in a clustered (MSCS or VCS) environment

  1. Log on to Windows as a member of the Administrators group.
  2. Stop all the processes and services that use the HDLM management-target paths.

    Stop any processes or application services, such as a DBMS, that are using the HDLM management-target paths.

  3. In Windows Server 2008, if you are not logged on as an administrator, use the Run as administrator functionality.
  4. Stop MSCS or VCS on all the hosts that make up the cluster.

    When MSCS is used, follow this procedure:

    Choose Administrative Tools and then Services. In the list of services, right-click Cluster Service, and then from the Action menu choose Stop to stop the service.

    A message prompting you to restart the system might be displayed. If this happens, choose No.

  5. If a host and a storage subsystem are connected via multiple paths, reconfigure it so that only one path connects the host to the storage subsystem.

    Uninstalling HDLM in a multi-path configuration, might cause the disk contents to become corrupted when the host restarts. Make sure that you uninstall HDLM from a single path configuration only.

  6. Start the uninstallation procedure.
  7. When uninstallation finishes, a dialog box appears prompting you to restart the host.

    Click OK to restart the host.

  8. Install InfoScale Foundation.
