Deleting a Service

A cluster service can be deleted. Note that the cluster database should be backed up before deleting a service. See the Section called Backing Up and Restoring the Cluster Database in Chapter 8 for information.

To delete a service by using the cluadmin utility, follow these steps:

1. Invoke the cluadmin utility on the cluster system that is running the service, and specify the service disable service_name command. See the Section called Disabling a Service for more information.

2. Specify the service delete service_name command to delete the service.

For example:

cluadmin> service disable user_home
Are you sure? (yes/no/?) y
notice: Stopping service user_home  ...
notice: Service user_home is disabled
service user_home disabled             

cluadmin> service delete user_home
Deleting user_home, are you sure? (yes/no/?): y
user_home deleted.
