7.1.2 Detailed deletion operations

Use the following procedure to delete the cluster environment:

  1. Delete the node

    Delete the node using the AdvancedCopy Manager Web GUI. This step is not required for Storage Management Server transactions.

    If also used as a Storage Server, perform the steps below before deleting the cluster environment.

    Refer to "Commands" in the "ETERNUS SF AdvancedCopy Manager Operator's Guide for Tape Backup Option" for command details.

    The deletion procedure depends on the type of device being deleted. The deletion procedures for each device type are explained below.

    • Deleting a transaction volume

      Use the following procedures to delete a transaction volume. Ensure that that these procedures are performed before the targeted transaction volume is removed.

      1. Delete the tape backup management class.

        Execute acmtpmgmtclassdel (Ttape backup management class deletion command).

        Refer to "acmtpmgmtclassdel (Tape backup management class deletion command)" in the "ETERNUS SF AdvancedCopy Manager Operator's Guide for Tape Backup Option" for details.

      2. Execute acmhistdel (history information deletion command) to delete all the backup history of the transaction volume that is targeted for deletion.

        A command execution example is shown below.

        # /opt/FJSVswstc/bin/acmhistdel -z /dev/dsk/c1t1d0s6
        /dev/dsk/c1t1d0s6 acmhistdel completed
        #
      3. Execute acmbkpoldel (Disk backup policy delete command) and acmtpbkpoldel (Tape backup policy delete command) to delete the backup policies of the transaction volume that is targeted for deletion.

        An example of executing these commands is shown below.

        # /opt/FJSVswstc/bin/acmbkpoldel /dev/dsk/c1t1d0s6
        /dev/dsk/c1t1d0s6 acmbkpoldel completed
        #
        # /opt/FJSVswstc/bin/acmtpbkpoldel /dev/dsk/c1t1d0s6
        /dev/dsk/c1t1d0s6 acmtpbkpoldel completed
        #
      4. Execute acmdevinfoset (Device Configuration command) to delete the device information of the transaction volume that is targeted for deletion.

        A command execution example is shown below.

        # /opt/FJSVswstc/bin/acmdevinfoset -o /dev/dsk/c1t1d0s6
        acmdevinfoset completed
        #
    • Deleting a backup volume

      Take the steps below to delete a backup volume. Note that it is essential to perform these steps before removing the targeted backup volume.

      1. Delete the tape backup management class.

        Execute acmtpmgmtclassdel (Tape backup management class delete command).

        Refer to "acmtpmgmtclassdel (Tape backup management class deletion command)" in the "ETERNUS SF AdvancedCopy Manager Operator's Guide for Tape Backup Option" for details.

      2. Set the not-in-use status for the backup volume that is targeted for deletion.

        The not-in-use status for a volume means that the relevant volume does not exist in the backup history. If the volume is in the backup history, delete the backup history. If the same backup history also exists on tape, the history on tape does not need to be deleted. Refer to acmhistdel (History information delete command) for details. If the volume already has the not-in-use status, proceed to the next step.

        A command execution example is shown below.

        # /opt/FJSVswstc/bin/acmhistdel -m DISK -g 1 /dev/dsk/c1t1d0s6
        /dev/dsk/c1t1d0s6 acmhistdel completed
        #
      3. Execute acmdevinfoset (Device Configuration command) to delete the device information of the backup volume that is targeted for deletion.

        A command execution example is shown below.

        # /opt/FJSVswstc/bin/acmdevinfoset -o /dev/dsk/c1t2d1s6
        acmdevinfoset completed
        #

        Note

        When a backup volume is deleted, a backup policy that is already set may no longer be met (for example, the number of backup volumes may be less than the required number of saved generations). In this case, subsequent backup operations may not be possible. Therefore, it is essential to check the backup policies that have already been set before deleting a backup volume.

        If, as described above, there will be insufficient backup volumes, add a replacement backup volume before deleting the targeted backup volume.

  2. Stop transactions

    Stop the transactions that are to be deleted using the PRIMECLUSTER RMS main window

  3. Delete resources

    Use the PRIMECLUSTER "userApplication Configuration Wizard" to delete the AdvancedCopy Manager resources and TSM resources registered for the transactions to be deleted. If the userApplication has been created using only AdvancedCopy Manager resources, delete the entire userApplication

    Note

    Refer to the PRIMECLUSTER Installation and Administration Guide for information on how to delete userApplications and resources

  4. Mount the shared disk on the secondary node

    Mount the shared disk for AdvancedCopy Manager shared data on the secondary node.

    If the same server is used for both a Storage Management Server transaction and a Tape Server transaction, mount the shared disk for the repository as well.

  5. Cancel the TSM cluster settings.

    On the secondary node, execute the PRIMECLUSTER environment deletion procedure by referring to "Deleting the TSM server cluster environment" under "Canceling Applications" in the "TSM PRIMECLUSTER Application Guide".

    Use the procedure below to delete the PRIMECLUSTER environment:

    # cd shared disk mount point for TSM/tsm/cluster
    # ./tsmclunset_safe -k Sec -m shared disk mount point for TSM

    Note

    Do not delete environment for the primary node.
