Use this procedure to remove a cluster node from the list of potential primaries of a VERITAS Volume Manager (VxVM) device group (disk group).
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.
Verify that the node is still a member of the group and that the group is an VxVM device group.
Device group type VxVM indicates a VxVM device group.

Become superuser or assume a role that provides solaris.cluster.read and solaris.cluster.modify RBAC authorization on a current cluster member node.
Start the clsetup utility.
# clsetup |
The Main Menu is displayed.
To reconfigure a device group, type the number that corresponds to the option for device groups and volumes.
To remove the node from the VxVM device group, type the number that corresponds to the option for removing a node from a VxVM device group.
Follow the prompts to remove the cluster node from the device group. You are asked for information about the following:
VxVM device group
Node name
Verify that the node has been removed from the VxVM device group or groups.
# cldevicegroup show devicegroup |
This example shows removal of the node named phys-schost-1 from the dg1 VxVM device group.
