Delete CA ARCserve Backup Cluster Resources

Prior to creating new cluster resources, it is necessary to delete all existing cluster resources from the group where CA ARCserve Backup is deployed. The available MSCS cluster resources are:

• ARCserve HA
• ARCserve ASDB
• ARCserve Registry
• ARCserve Share

Delete the ARCserve cluster resources

1. From the Cluster Administrator, right-click on the group name and from the pop-up menu, select Take Offline.

   The state of the ARCserve cluster resources is changed from Online to Offline.

2. Access the Cluster Administrator.

   The Cluster Administrator dialog appears.

   Note: Cluster Administrator is a utility provided by Microsoft and is installed on servers that have MSCS installed. From the Cluster Administrator, you perform most of the configuration and management tasks associated with clusters.

3. Select the ARCserve Group that the ARCserve server is deployed in, and locate the corresponding ARCserve cluster resources. Right-click on each ARCserve cluster resource and from the pop-up menu, select Delete.

   The selected ARCserve cluster resources are deleted.
