Leaving or Deleting a Partnership

You can also use the geops command to remove a cluster from a partnership and release all the resources that are associated with the partnership.

Because this command destroys the local partnership configuration information, when the last member leaves a partnership, the partnership no longer exists.

How to Leave a Partnership

Before You Begin

Ensure that the following conditions are met:

• The local cluster is a member of the partnership you want to leave.

• This partnership does not contain any protection groups.

1. Log in to a cluster node.

   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. Verify that the partnership does not have any protection groups.

   # geopg list

   If you find that the partnership contains protection groups, you can delete them with the geopg delete command. For information about deleting protection groups, see one of the following data replication guides:

   • How to Delete a Sun StorageTek Availability Suite Protection Group in Sun Cluster Geographic Edition Data Replication Guide for Sun StorageTek Availability Suite

   • How to Delete a Hitachi TrueCopy Protection Group in Sun Cluster Geographic Edition Data Replication Guide for Hitachi TrueCopy

   • How to Delete an EMC Symmetrix Remote Data Facility Protection Group in Sun Cluster Geographic Edition Data Replication Guide for EMC Symmetrix Remote Data Facility

3. Remove the partnership on a node of the cluster that is a member of the partnership.

   # geops leave-partnership partnershipname

   partnershipname

   Specifies the name of the partnership

   The geops leave-partnership command deletes the heartbeats configured for the partnership, including custom heartbeats.

Example 5–5 Leaving a Partnership

In this example, the cluster-paris cluster leaves the paris-newyork-ps partnership.

phys-paris-1# geops leave-partnership paris-newyork-ps

Example 5–6 Deleting a Partnership

After the cluster-paris cluster leaves the paris-newyork-ps partnership, as described in the previous example, the only remaining member of the partnership is the cluster-newyork cluster. You can delete the paris-newyork-ps partnership by forcing the cluster-newyork cluster to leave the partnership.

phys-newyork-1# geops leave-partnership paris-newyork-ps

Next Steps

Repeat this procedure on the other cluster in the partnership.
