Hi,

At the first link it says:
Move all of your data off any VxVM volumes or VxFS file systems that you have created. Unmount all VxFS file systems, and stop any applications that may be accessing VxVM volumes.

This is exactly the step Im not sure how to do... can you give me for info on this?

Tks,
Joao

Two "swap" partitions are not in use, can be remove with "swap -d". The other nedd to be copy to some where else before remove it.
Hi,

Sorry for the late reply...

I have decided to remove only VCS...

I have one node in a cluster running Solaris 10 with  VCS and VVM.  
I removed this node from the cluster and the VCS packages.  

Does anybody know how can I check if VCS is totally removed from the system?

I want to check this because when I run
pkginfo | grep VRTS
application VRTSaa                           Veritas Storage Foundation Management Server by Symantec
application VRTSalloc                        Veritas Storage Foundation Intelligent Storage Provisioning by Symantec
system      VRTSat                           Symantec Product Authentication Service
application VRTSccg                          Veritas Storage Foundation Management Server by Symantec

I still see some packages in the output, but I think they are due to VVM that is installed. Is that right?
Have you looked links privided above ?
Hi,

Tks for your help so far...

Yes I did...

One of them refers to remove VVM and the other the VSF but none only the VCS...

I know at the beginning I wanted to remove the VSF but I changed my ming (sorry) now I wnat only to remove the VCS.

I have used this procedure:

=========================
This section describes how to remove a node from a cluster. As in previous examples, the following removes the system system03 from a three-node cluster. The procedure can be done from any node remaining in the cluster or from a remote host.

·  Log in as root on a node other than system03.

·  Stop all the cluster components on system03:
   # cfscluster stop -f system03

·         Stop VCS on the leaving node:

# hastop -sys system03

·  Open the VCS configuration for writing:
   # haconf -makerw

·  Remove system03 from the system list attribute of the CVM and CFS service groups:
   # hagrp -modify service_group SystemList -delete system03
   # hagrp -modify cvm SystemList -delete system03

where service_group is the command that displays the service groups by hagrp -dep cvm.

If an error message similar to the following is displayed by either of the above commands:
   VCS:10456:Configuration must be ReadWrite. ('hagrp -modify ...
   -delete(0x10f)',Sysstate=RUNNING,Channel=IPM,Flags=0x0)

repeat step 3 and the command that failed in step 4.
·         Delete the node from the cluster.

# hasys -delete system03
·  Write the new VCS configuration to disk:
   # haconf -dump -makero

·  Remove the following files on system03:
  # rm /etc/llthosts
  # rm /etc/llttab
  # rm /etc/gabtab

·  Reboot system03:
  # /usr/sbin/shutdown -R -y 0

·  Change to the install directory:
   # cd /opt/VRTS/install

·  From the scripts directory, run the deinstallation script:
  # ./uninstallsfcfs
 
If you do not want to remove the VERITAS Cluster Server software, enter "N" (no) when prompted to uninstall VCS. For complete information on uninstalling VCS, refer to the VERITAS Cluster Server Installation Guide, on the software disc.
==================

Is it the right way to do it?
Could you pls check if its ok? And advice if its not?

Again: tks for your help so far,
Joao
Checked the process of uninstalling SFCFS, all look ok. Can check VCS, as I don't have VCS. But if it was the question, enter "N" when prompted to uninstall VCS was only way you could do.

Look into "For complete information on uninstalling VCS, refer to the VERITAS Cluster Server Installation Guide, on the software disc." as per message. But looks ok to me.
Tks for the help Ganjos.

The process worked but I had to do the whole VSF anyway.. :(

It also worked except for one node which I got this:
18:41:53 Checking labcla02 for attached volumes
18:41:54 None
18:41:55

Cannot check for open volumes on labcla02 because the vxconfigd process is not in enabled mode.  You must affirm that there are no open
volumes if you want to continue.

18:41:55 Are there any open volumes on labcla02 [y,n,q] (n)
18:42:8 y
18:42:8 CPI ERROR V-9-11-2905 Cannot continue because of the open volumes: 1.


I dont have any vx volumes (i guess) at this node:

swap                   5.7G     0K   5.7G     0%    /dev/vx/rdmp


Tks for the help... VSF was removed successfully
