Removing the Quorum Disk Configuration

Language:

This section provides instructions for removing the quorum disk configuration, if you implemented the feature and you decide you would like to remove it for any reason.

To remove the quorum disk configuration:

Ensure there is at least one normal redundancy disk group in place by listing the disk groups and their information:
```
$GI_HOME/bin/asmcmd lsdg
```
If there is not at least one normal redundancy disk group, create one. Refer to My Oracle Support note 438580.1 for details on how to change disk group redundancy.

Relocate the voting files to a normal redundancy disk group:

$GI_HOME/bin/crsctl replace votedisk +normal_redundancy_diskgroup

Drop the quorum disks from ASM.
Run the following command for each quorum disk:
```
SQL> alter diskgroup diskgroup_name drop quorum disk quorum_disk_name force; 
```
Wait for the rebalance operation to complete. You can tell it is complete when v$asm_operation returns no rows for the disk group.
Delete the quorum devices.
Run the following command from each database node that has quorum disks in place:
```
/opt/oracle.SupportTools/quorumdiskmgr --delete --device [--asm-disk-group asm_disk_group] [--host-name host_name]
```
Delete the targets.
Run the following command from each database domain that has quorum disks in place:
```
/opt/oracle.SupportTools/quorumdiskmgr --delete --target [--asm-disk-group asm_disk_group] 
```
Delete the configuration.
Run the following command from each database domain that has quorum disks in place:
```
/opt/oracle.SupportTools/quorumdiskmgr --delete –config
```
