This procedure removes the last quorum device from a cluster. This procedure is only required if you have a two node cluster and you are removing one of the nodes. If the device you intend to remove is not the last quorum device in a two-node cluster, use the previous procedure, 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 clquorum(1CL) enables you to remove the device from the configuration. This procedure should only be performed if a node is being removed from the cluster.
This procedure provides the long forms of the Sun Cluster commands. Most commands also have short forms. Except for the long and short forms of the command names, the commands are identical. For a list of the commands and their short forms, see Appendix A, Sun Cluster Object-Oriented Commands.
Become superuser or assume a role that provides solaris.cluster.modify RBAC authorization on any node in the cluster.
Place the node to be removed in maintenance state.
Place the cluster in install mode.
# cluster set -p installmode=enabled |
Remove the quorum device by using the clquorum command.
The clsetup(1CL) cluster-administration menu options are not available while the cluster is in install mode.
# clquorum remove qd1 |
Verify that the quorum device has been removed.
# clquorum list -v |
This example shows how to remove the last remaining quorum device in a cluster configuration.
