When a quorum disk is removed, it no longer participates in the voting to establish quorum. Note that all two-node clusters require that at least one quorum device be configured. If this is the last quorum device on a cluster, scconf(1M) will fail to remove the device from the configuration.
If the device you intend to remove is the last quorum device in the cluster, see the procedure "4.1.3 How to Remove the Last Quorum Device From a Cluster".
Become superuser on a node in the cluster.
Determine the quorum device to be removed.
# scconf -pv | grep Quorum |
Execute the scsetup(1M) utility.
# scsetup |
The Main Menu appears.
Access the Quorum Menu by entering 1 (Quorum) to work with the quorum device.
Remove the quorum device by entering 2 (Remove a quorum disk).
Answer the questions displayed during the removal process.
Quit scsetup.
Verify that the quorum device is removed.
# scstat -q |
This example shows how to remove a quorum device from a cluster with two or more quorum devices configured.
