If the device you intend to remove is not the last quorum device in the cluster, use the previous procedure, "4.1.2 How to Remove a Quorum Device".
All two-node clusters require at least one configured quorum device. If this is the last quorum device on a two-node cluster, the cluster must be placed into install mode before scconf(1M) allows you to remove the device from the configuration. This should only be done if a node is being removed from the cluster.
Become superuser on a node in the cluster and place the node to be removed in maintenance state.
See "4.1.6 How to Put a Cluster Node Into Maintenance State".
Place the cluster in install mode.
# scconf -c -q installmode |
Remove the quorum device using the scconf command.
# scconf -r -q globaldev=device |
Verify that the quorum device has been removed.
# scstat -q |
This example shows how to remove the last remaining quorum device in a cluster configuration.
[Become superuser on any node.] [Place the cluster in install mode:] # scconf -c -q installmode [Remove the quorum device:] # scconf -r -q globaldev=d3 [Verify the quorum device has been removed:] # scstat -q -- Quorum Summary -- Quorum votes possible: 2 Quorum votes needed: 2 Quorum votes present: 2 -- Quorum Votes by Node -- Node Name Present Possible Status --------- ------- -------- ------ Node votes: phys-schost-1 1 1 Online Node votes: phys-schost-2 1 1 Online -- Quorum Votes by Device -- Device Name Present Possible Status Owner ----------- ------- -------- ------ ----- |
