How to Remove a Disk Drive From a Running Cluster

Use this procedure to remove a disk drive from a running cluster.

1. Determine if the LUN that is associated with the disk drive you plan to remove is configured as a quorum device.

   # scstat -q

   • If the LUN is not a quorum device, go to Step 2.

   • If the LUN is configured as a quorum device, choose and configure another device to be the new quorum device. Then remove the old quorum device.

2. Remove the LUN that is associated with the disk drive you are removing.

   For the procedure on removing a LUN, see "How to Delete a LUN".

3. Remove the disk drive from the disk array.

   For the procedure on removing a disk drive, see the Sun StorEdge D1000 Storage Guide.
