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. 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.

  4. 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.

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

    Click OK to restart the host.

  7. Install InfoScale Foundation.
