Chapter 1 31
NOTE If you did a swremove of an older version of Serviceguard before the
swinstall, your system may be left with a zero-length binary

zero-length binary configuration file. the installation will proceed
correctly, but you may see error or warning messages with the following
text:
Bad binary config file directory format.
Could not convert old binary configuration file.
These messages may safely be ignored.

removed from the cluster configuration.
3. The swremove command should be issued from one system at a time.
That is, if Serviceguard is being deinstalled from more than one
system, it should be removed from one system at a time.
If your system is left with a zero-length binary configuration file
(/etc/cmcluster/cmclconfig), you should remove it.
