Recreating a Fluid Cache Cluster

Although it is not part of standard operations or maintenance, in some instances you may want to

recreate a Fluid Cache cluster.

1. Make sure that no cached LUNs on the servers are in use.

NOTE: All cached data on a server is lost when you perform the following procedure. Flush this

data before proceeding.

2. Run the Host Cache Node Setup tool on each node in the cluster. See Setting up a Fluid Cache

Node. This removes all existing configuration information and settings.

3. Create and configure a new cluster. See Configuring and Managing Fluid Cache Clusters.

Uninstalling the Fluid Cache Software

Uninstall the Fluid Cache software if a server will no longer be used for Fluid Cache.

Before uninstalling the software, you must remove all volume mappings and remove the server from its

Fluid Cache cluster. See Removing Volume Mappings and Removing a Server from a Fluid Cache Cluster.

To uninstall the Fluid Cache software, run the command:

rpm -e $(rpm —qa | grep FLDC)

Although this command removes all configuration information, in some cases you may want to remove

all components of Fluid Cache from your installation by also deleting the installation directory: /opt/

dell/fluidcache/
