To remove disks from a running cluster
Determine FlashGrid names of the drives to be removed, e.g. rac2.lun3:
$ flashgrid-cluster drivesIf the drives are members of an ASM disk group then drop the drives from the disk group. Example:
SQL> alter diskgroup MYDG drop disk RAC1$LUN3 drop disk RAC2$LUN3 rebalance wait;Wait till the Resync=No for the disk group in the flashgrid-cluster output. It may take a while to resync the disk group depending on the amount of data, disk performance characteristics, and instance parameters.
Prepare the disks for removal. Example:
[fg@rac1 ~] $ flashgrid-node stop-target /dev/flashgrid/rac1.lun3 [fg@rac2 ~] $ flashgrid-node stop-target /dev/flashgrid/rac2.lun3
- Detach the disks from the VMs.
