Dropping a Secondary Server

Remove a secondary server from a multiplex server. You can drop the designated failover server only if it is the only secondary server in the multiplex.

Prerequisites
Task
  1. In the Perspective Resources view, select a multiplex resource.
  2. From the application menu bar, select View > Open > Administration Console.
  3. From the left pane of the Administration Console, select IQ > Multiplex Management > Multiplex Servers.
  4. Select a multiplex server from the right pane and either:
    • Click the arrow to the right of the name and select Drop Secondary Node, or
    • From the Administration Console menu bar, select Resource > Drop Secondary Node
  5. (Optional) Select Delete the database directory. This cleans up the database directory by removing any files that belong to the server.
    Warning!  Use caution in selecting the option to delete files. If any of the files to be deleted are shared main files, data can be lost, and servers might not start correctly afterwards.
  6. Click Finish.
