1. Serviceguard must be halted (not running) and the node must be removed from the cluster
configuration before the swremove command is issued on that node.
Use Serviceguard Manager or Serviceguard commands to halt the cluster and modify the
configuration.
Also modify the CVM/CFS storage and related package configuration as needed to fully
remove the node from the cluster configuration.
2. Follow any guidelines for software removal of the individual products included in the HP
Serviceguard Storage Management Suite bundle. In general, products should be halted and
unconfigured before removal.
If the bundle includes ODM, unmount the /dev/odm device before removing the bundle.
If any independently installed products have installation dependencies on a product in the
installed bundle, these products must be removed before the bundle can be removed. For
example, if SGeRAC was independently installed on a system with Bundle T2776CA, SGeRAC
must be removed before T2776CA can be removed since SGeRAC has dependencies on
Serviceguard and removing T2776CA will remove Serviceguard but not SGeRAC.
3. The swremove command should be issued from one system at a time.
Removing a HP Serviceguard Storage Management Suite bundle removes the individual
bundle tags associated with that bundle (refer to Table 1-4: “Software Components and
Associated Bundles”,) except for Base-VXFS and Base-VXVM. These products must be
individually specified for removal. For example, to remove the contents of T2771CA including
Base-VXFS and Base-VXVM enter:
swremove -x autoreboot=true Base-VXFS Base-VXVM T2771CA
4. Verify all components have been removed. Use the swlist command on one system at a
time.
If the system is left with a zero-length binary configuration file (/etc/cmcluster/
cmclconfig), remove it.
