Thanks to David Gutierrez, who indicated that as long as my swap device is not in the node that is being removed and that the quorom disk in the cluster is via a san, then I can delete either member of my two-node cluster irrespective of whether it was the 'master node' or not. My original question was: Dear Managers, I have a two (2) node cluster (GS80, Tru64 V5.1A), and I would like to remove one node permanently using the clu_delete_member command. I have looked at the documentation and it seems straight forward enough. However it does not address the following : does it matter which of the two nodes is removed (hardware wise the nodes are identical)? To further clarify, let's call the nodes, NODE A and NODE B, and let's say NODE A is the 'master node', i.e it was the one from which the clu_add_member command was issued, can I remove NODE A, without running into any complications down the road. And just to put a twist on this, supposing, just supposing, that I decided to add NODE A back into the cluster (yes I did say it was to be removed permanently) will the clu_add_member be successful when issued from NODE B?
