Issue/Introduction

You may occasionally want to remove the fault tolerance set up in SPECTRUM and later re-establish the setup. For this scenario the removal and re-establishing the fault tolerance set up should be done carefully following the processes in the solution.

 

Environment

Release: All Supported Versions
Component: SPCCSS - SpectroSERVER Core

Resolution

To remove the fault tolerance set up that is already set by the client in his environment:

1. Remove the Backup SpectroSERVER name from the Primary OneClick Administration page by selecting with a checkmark and click remove. (OneClick Administration tab, Landscapes)
   
   
2. Remove the landscape belonging to the Secondary using the MapUpdate command on the Primary SpectroSERVER from a bash shell $SPECROOT/SS-Tools. The MapUpdate should be used with this syntax:
   
   Mapupdate.exe -remove <LandscapeHandle of the Secondary SpectroSERVER> -precedence <Precedence of the Secondary SpectroSERVER>
   
   
3. When the fault tolerance set up is removed you can re-establish it by following the instructions in KB 9404.

This same command (less the precendence part) can be used to remove any landscape in Spectrum as well. 

However, the Map may updated it again if its permitting access and still running.
