Resetting Cluster Members
ClusterCATS includes a utility for resetting cluster members to their pre-clustered
state. You may want to do this for two reasons:
• You want to permanently remove a cluster member from a cluster
• You want to change a cluster member from one cluster to another cluster
To perform both of these tasks, you must first reset each server’s configuration to its
original, pre-clustered state. This section describes the following:
• “Resetting cluster members on Windows” on page 319
• “Resetting cluster members on UNIX” on page 320
Resetting cluster members on Windows
Using the ClusterCATS Server Administrator that is installed on each cluster member.
This is necessary for the following reasons:
• Using the ClusterCATS Explorer to delete cluster members from a cluster does
not delete the server’s ClusterCATS configuration, which is stored in the server’s
registry.
• Running the ClusterCATS uninstall program and reinstalling does not overwrite
the server’s ClusterCATS configuration.
To reset a server to its pre-clustered state:
1 Open the ClusterCATS Server Administrator utility on this server by selecting
Start > Programs > ColdFusion 3.0 > ClusterCATS Server Administrator.
The ClusterCATS Server Administrator appears.
2 Click Advanced.
The Advanced Option dialog box appears:
3 Click Reset ClusterCATS to remove the ClusterCATS configuration from this
server.
A message appears confirming that the server has been reset.
4 Exit the ClusterCATS Server Administrator.
