Unconfiguring a CVM cluster
This section provides information about unconfiguring a CVM cluster using the GUI-based SFW Configuration Wizard for Microsoft Failover Cluster and the CLI-based ffconfigcli.exe utility. The section provides information about unconfiguring the entire cluster as well as about removing one or more nodes from the CVM cluster.
Please note the following important information before unconfiguring a CVM cluster using the wizard or utility:
While unconfiguring a CVM cluster, none of the CVM resources should be online on any of the cluster nodes. Similarly, while removing a node, no resources should be online on the node that you want to remove.
To run the wizard on a node, the CLUSSVC service must be running irrespective of the operation being carried out. However, if you are running the wizard on a node that is not going to be removed, then the CLUSSVC service can be stopped on the node being removed.
On the other hand, the CLI utility functions differently from the wizard. For adding a node and configuring a cluster, the utility requires that the CLUSSVC service is running. However, for removing a node and unconfiguring a cluster, it does not matter if the CLUSSVC service is running or stopped on any node.
Unconfiguring a CVM cluster does not delete any CVM link information that the wizard (or utility) automatically populates or the administrative user manually creates.
For information about configuring a CVM cluster,
Using the SFW Configuration Wizard for Microsoft Failover Cluster
- From the Start screen, type Run, and then press Enter to open the Run dialog box.
In the Run dialog box, type scc, and then click OK to launch the Solutions Configuration Center (SCC).
- From the Solutions view in the SCC, click on SFW Configuration Wizard for Microsoft Failover Cluster to launch the wizard.
- The SFW Configuration Wizard for Microsoft Failover Cluster panel displays cluster and system (node) information and lets you configure or unconfigure systems for a CVM cluster.
To unconfigure CVM, select one or more configured systems and click Unconfigure to unconfigure CVM support for the selected systems.
Select all the systems to unconfigure the entire CVM cluster.
- Click Done to exit the wizard.
