First decide which node will be removed. Once the node to be removed has been NET WORK NFS NI M ODM

decided; then, proceed with the following steps. OS & PACKAGE I NSTAL L AT I ON PRI NT ER

PROCESS & T HREADS SCRI PT I NG

1 – stop the cluster on both nodes

# smitty clstop

2 – export the volume group on the node to be removed

# exportvg vgname

3 – remove the disks on the node node to be removed
# rmdev -dl hdisk# or rmdev -Rdl fcs#
AIX LINUX SOLARIS

4 – remove PowerHA System Mirror (formerly known as HACMP) from both nodes

5 – Clean up any HA con guration in les such as /etc/hosts.

6 – Con gure the network interfaces to have the correct IP addresses. Run smitty
chinet to set the correct IP address.
7 – Unmap and rezone the LUNs so that they are only zoned and mapped to one
node
8 – Remove any PowerHA related scripts from the removed node.
9 – Verify the run levels in /etc/inittab, they may need to be changed; especially, if
running older versions of HA.
10 – Change the lesystems’ mount attribute to automatically mount on reboot
through smitty chfs.
11 – If there were any NFS-de ned lesystems, can go into smitty NFS to set the
lesystems to be eported or mounted at boot time.

If there were NFS cross mount lesystems con gured where the local mount point
has a different name than the NFS mount point; then, the local mount point will need
to be renamed the same as the NFS mount point.
Use the smitty chfs command and set the local mount point to be mounted ONLY JFS
at system restart on the local node, and ONLY NFS at system restart on all remote
nodes.

12 – Con gure your application to start at system restart if necessary.
