Removing a node from a cluster

To verify the status of the nodes and the service groups

1Make a backup copy of the current configuration file, main.cf.

#cp -p /etc/VRTSvcs/conf/config/main.cf\

/etc/VRTSvcs/conf/config/main.cf.goodcopy

2Check the status of the systems and the service groups.

# hastatus -summary

--	SYSTEM STATE
--	System	State	Frozen
A	galaxy	RUNNING	0
A	nebula	RUNNING	0
A	saturn	RUNNING	0

--	GROUP STATE
--	Group	System	Probed	AutoDisabled	State
B	grp1	galaxy	Y	N	ONLINE
B	grp1	nebula	Y	N	OFFLINE
B	grp2	galaxy	Y	N	ONLINE
B	grp3	nebula	Y	N	OFFLINE
B	grp3	saturn	Y	N	ONLINE
B	grp4	saturn	Y	N	ONLINE

The example output from the hastatus command shows that nodes galaxy, nebula, and saturn are the nodes in the cluster. Also, service group grp3 is configured to run on node nebula and node saturn, the departing node. Service group grp4 runs only on node saturn. Service groups grp1 and grp2 do not run on node saturn.

Deleting the departing node from VCS configuration

Before you remove a node from the cluster you need to identify the service groups that run on the node.

You then need to perform the following actions:

■Remove the service groups that other service groups depend on, or

■Switch the service groups to another node that other service groups depend on.
