The phys-schost# prompt reflects a global-cluster prompt. Perform this procedure on a global cluster.

This procedure provides the long forms of the Sun Cluster commands. Most commands also have short forms. Except for the long and short forms of the command names, the commands are identical. For a list of the commands and their short forms, see Appendix B, Sun Cluster Object-Oriented Commands.

1. Remove the disk device that you are replacing as a quorum device.

   Note –

   If the device you intend to remove is the last quorum device, you might want to first add another disk as a new quorum device. This step assures a valid quorum device if a failure occurs during the replacement procedure. See Adding a Quorum Device to add a new quorum device.
