Removing Resource Types

You do not need to remove resource types that are not in use. However, if you want to remove a resource type, you can use this procedure to do so.

See the scrgadm(1M) and scswitch(1M) man pages for additional information.

Perform this procedure from any cluster node.

How to Remove a Resource Type

Before you remove a resource type, you must disable and remove all the resources of that type in all the resource groups in the cluster. Use the scrgadm -pv command to identify the resources and resource groups in the cluster.

1. Become superuser on a cluster member.

2. Disable each resource of the resource type to be removed.

   # scswitch -n -j resource

   -n

   Disables the resource.

   -j resource

   Specifies the name of the resource to disable.

3. Remove each resource of the resource type to be removed.

   # scrgadm -r -j resource

   -r

   Removes the specified resource.

   -j

   Specifies the name of the resource to remove.

4. Remove the resource type.

   # scrgadm -r -t resource-type

   -r

   Removes the specified resource type.

   -t resource-type

   Specifies the name of the resource type to remove.

5. Verify that the resource type has been removed.

   # scrgadm -p

Example - Removing a Resource Type

This example shows how to disable and remove all resources of a resource type (resource-type-1) and then remove the resource type itself. Here, resource-1 is a resource of the resource type resource-type-1.

# scswitch -n -j resource-1
# scrgadm -r -j resource-1
# scrgadm -r -t resource-type-1
