Deleting a member node from TruCluster



Dear Managers,

I have a two-node TruCluster using Tru64 UNIX version 5.1A. I need to remove (delete) the member upon which the cluster software was first installed and the cluster first built (I refer to it as the master node). Now I remember reading some documentation a long time ago that any addition or deletion of members of the cluster should be done from the master node (using clu_add_member or clu_delete_member as the case may be).

Now my problem is what to do if I need to remove the master node?

Any advice, caveats or war stories will be highly appreciated.

Can anyone rember which was the document that would have mentioned that master node?

Yours sincerely,
Robert Honore.

While you are able to have cluster member 5 be the failover for all the other instances, there might be a better way to set which member servers can run each instance, but its not difficult to change this at a later date - it might not be an optimal configuration if all the instances are of different memory needs or if you want to handle a situation where more than one cluster member might be unavailable at a time. ...
