Modifying configuration files on each remaining node

Perform the following tasks on each of the remaining nodes of the cluster.

To modify the configuration files on a remaining node

1

If necessary, modify the /etc/gabtab file.

No change is required to this file if the

/sbin/gabconfig

command has only

the argument

-c

. Symantec recommends using the

-nN

option, where N is

the number of cluster systems.

If the command has the form

/sbin/gabconfig -c -nN

, where N is the

number of cluster systems, make sure that N is not greater than the actual
number of nodes in the cluster. When N is greater than the number of nodes,
GAB does not automatically seed.

Note:

Symantec does not recommend the use of the

-c -x

option for

/sbin/gabconfig

.

2

Modify /etc/llthosts file on each remaining nodes to remove the entry of the
departing node.

For example, change:

0 galaxy

1 nebula

2 saturn

To:

0 galaxy

1 nebula
