Managing Shared Disks

Chapter 7. Unconfiguring and removing virtual shared disks and nodes

This chapter tells you how to eliminate virtual shared disks, hashed shared disks, or nodes from an existing virtual shared disk configuration. There are several steps that might be used individually or in sequence. These steps are:

1. Stop activity on virtual shared disks or hashed shared disks that are to be removed.
2. Unconfigure the virtual shared disks or hashed shared disks being removed.
3. Remove the virtual shared disks or hashed shared disks.
4. Remove a node from the configuration
5. Unload the device driver from the kernel.

Depending on your circumstances, you might not complete all the steps. For instance, to remove a virtual shared disk, complete the first three steps. To remove a virtual shared disk server node from the configuration, complete all the steps. To remove a client node, you need to complete steps 1, 2, and 4 on the node to be removed.
