Validations when removing a server from a cluster

Last Updated : Sep 18, 2018 |
Prolog information
You cannot delete an Avaya Breeze® platform server from a cluster if:
  • The minimum number of servers are not available in the Accept New Service state.
  • The Avaya Breeze® platform server is not in the Deny New Service state.
  • The server is functioning as a load balancing server or as a lookup server, and you do not have another available server to take over.
  • The cluster is associated with a reliable eventing group.

Additional validations when Cluster Database is enabled

The following are the validations when you want to remove a server from a cluster without auto switch over:
  • You must manually switch over the active server to a standby server, or make an idle server a Standby, or both before removing servers.
  • In a cluster with a single server you can remove the server provided the server is in the Deny New Service state.
  • In a cluster with two servers, you can remove the standby or both the servers without any validation. If you want to remove the active server, you must manually switch over the active with the standby before you remove the current active server.
  • In a cluster with three or more servers, you can remove a server if the server is in the Idle mode. If the server is an active server or a standby server, the action is blocked.
    If you want to remove the standby server, perform a manual switch over with the Idle server before you remove the server. If you want to remove the active server, perform a manual switch over with the standby before you remove the server.
