1. Serviceguard must be halted (not running) on the node from which the swremove
command is issued.
2. The system from which the swremove command is issued must be removed from
the cluster configuration. (If the node is not removed from the cluster configuration
first, swremove will cause the current cluster to be deleted.)
3. The swremove command should be issued from one system at a time. That is, if
Serviceguard is being de-installed from more than one system, it should be removed
from one system at a time.
If a zero-length binary configuration file (/etc/cmcluster/cmclconfig) is left
your system you should remove it.
