How to Delete a Sun StorEdge Availability Suite 3.2.1 Protection Group

Before You Begin

To delete the protection group on every cluster, run the geopg delete command on each cluster where the protection group exists.

Before deleting a protection group, ensure that the following conditions are met.

• The protection group exists locally.

• The protection group is offline on the local cluster.

To keep the application resource groups online while deleting a protection group, you must remove the application resource groups from the protection group.

Steps

1. Log in to one of the nodes on the cluster where you want to delete the protection group, for example cluster-paris.

   The cluster-paris is the primary cluster. See Figure 2–1 for For a a sample cluster configuration.

   You must be assigned the Geo Management RBAC rights profile to complete this procedure. For more information about RBAC, see Sun Cluster Geographic Edition Software and RBAC.

2. Delete the protection group.

   This command deletes the configuration of the protection group from the local cluster. The command also removes the lightweight resource group and the replication resource group for each device group in the protection group.

   # geopg delete protection-group-name

   protection-group-name

   Specifies the name of the protection group

   If the deletion is unsuccessful, the Configuration status is set to Error. Fix the cause of the error and reissue the geopg delete command.

Example 7–5 Deleting a Protection Group

The following example illustrates how to delete a protection group from both partner clusters.

# rlogin cluster-paris -l root
cluster-paris# geopg delete avspg
# rlogin cluster-newyork -l root
cluster-newyork# geopg delete avspg

Example 7–6 Deleting a Protection Group While Keeping Application Resource Groups Online

The following example illustrates how to keep two application resource groups (apprg1 and apprg2) online while deleting their protection group, avspg. Remove the application resource groups from the protection group, then delete the protection group.

# geopg remove-resource-group apprg1,apprg2 avspg 
# geopg stop -e global avspg
# geopg delete avspg
