The general consensus is that I will have to boot the original lead member (the one on which V5.1A was initially installed) from the original installation disk.
Martin pointed out that "you cannot boot a cluster member disk in a NONcluster manner", and Dr. Thomas Blinn noted "The older V4.0x based "TruCluster" was a totally different beast than what is in V5.x, so what might have worked in a V4.0x based cluster is different in V5.x."

Following is the original post:
Dear Managers,
I have a two node cluster (GS80's) running T64 V5.1A. I would like to
break this cluster for one day, and run one node as a 'standalone'
system ( ie. I do not want it running as a one member cluster. The
other node would be shutdown and powered off). After this one day
period, I would like to reform the cluster. For the moment,
clu_delete_member is not an option. The following link offers a
suggestion for TruCluster 1.5

clubase:
         cluster_disable=1
 
This disables the cluster from coming up once rebooted.
 
In 5.1A, cluster_disabel does not seem to be an attribute in the
clubase subsystem. Does 5.1A have any such attributes that will allow
me to accomplish what I want? If not, is there any way to accomplish
what I want? Thanks. frank
