How to Remove a StorEdge A3500

Use this procedure to remove a StorEdge A3500 from an existing cluster.

This procedure removes all data on the disk array you remove.

1. Migrate all Oracle Parallel Server (OPS) tables, data services, and volumes off of the StorEdge A3500 disk array volumes.

2. Stop all I/O activity to the StorEdge A3500.

3. If a volume manager does not manage any of the logical unit numbers (LUN) on the StorEdge A3500, proceed to Step 4. Otherwise, run the appropriate Solstice DiskSuite or VERITAS Volume Manager commands to remove the LUN(s) from any diskset or disk group.

   For more information, see your Solstice DiskSuite or VERITAS Volume Manager documentation.

4. If you are removing the last StorEdge A3500 in your cluster, remove StorEdge A3500 packages.

   For the procedure on removing StorEdge A3500 packages, see the documentation that shipped with your disk array.

5. One at a time, reboot each node into cluster mode.

   # boot

6. Disconnect the SCSI cables from the disk array.

7. On all cluster nodes, remove references to the disk array

   # devfsadm -C # scdidadm -C

8. If needed, remove any host adapters from the nodes.

   For the procedure on removing host adapters, see the documentation that shipped with your nodes.
