Modifying configuration files on each remaining node

Perform the following tasks on each of the remaining nodes of the cluster.

To modify the configuration files on a remaining node

1If necessary, modify the /etc/gabtab file.

No change is required to this file if the /sbin/gabconfig command has only the argument -c. Symantec recommends using the -nNoption, where N is the number of cluster systems.

If the command has the form /sbin/gabconfig -c-nN, where N is the number of cluster systems, make sure that N is not greater than the actual number of nodes in the cluster. When N is greater than the number of nodes, GAB does not automatically seed.

Note: Symantec does not recommend the use of the -c-xoption for

/sbin/gabconfig.

2Modify /etc/llthosts file on each remaining nodes to remove the entry of the departing node.

For example, change:

0 galaxy

1 nebula

2 saturn

To:

0 galaxy

1 nebula
