Unextending a Hierarchy

The LifeKeeper Unextend Resource Hierarchy option removes a complete hierarchy, including all of its resources, from a single server. This is different than the Delete Resource Hierarchy selection which removes a hierarchy from all servers.

When using Unextend Resource Hierarchy, the server from which the existing hierarchy is to be removed is referred to as the target server.

The Unextend Resource Hierarchy selection can be used from any LifeKeeper server that has active LifeKeeper communications paths to the target server.

1. There are five possible ways to begin.

• º Right-click on the icon for the resource hierarchy/server combination that you want to unextended. When the

resource context menu appears, click Unextend Resource Hierarchy.

• º Right-click on the icon for the global resource hierarchy that you want to unextended. When the

resource context menu appears, click Unextend Resource Hierarchy. When the dialog comes up, select the server in the Target Server list from which you want to unextended the resource hierarchy, and click Next.

• º On the

global toolbar, click the Unextend Resource Hierarchy button. When the dialog comes up, select the server in the Target Server list from which you want to unextended the resource hierarchy, and click Next. On the next dialog, select the resource hierarchy that you want to unextended from the Hierarchy to Unextend list, and click Next again.

• º On the

resource context toolbar, if displayed, click the Unextend Resource Hierarchy button.

• º On the

Edit menu, point to Resource and then click Unextend Resource Hierarchy. When the dialog comes up, select the server in the Target Server list from which you want to unextended the resource hierarchy, and click Next. On the next dialog, select the resource hierarchy that you want to unextended from the Hierarchy to Unextend list, and click Next again.

2. The dialog will display a message verifying the server and resource hierarchy that you have specified to be unextended. Click Unextend to perform the action.

3. If the output panel is enabled, the dialog closes, and the results of the commands to unextended the resource hierarchy are shown in the output panel. If not, the dialog remains up to show these results, and you click Done to finish when all results have been displayed.
