Resetting cluster members

ClusterCATS includes a utility for resetting cluster members to their preclustered state. You may want to do this for two reasons:

To permanently remove a cluster member from a cluster
To change a cluster member from one cluster to another

To perform these tasks, you must first reset each server's configuration to its original, preclustered state. This section describes the following:

Resetting cluster members on Windows

You must use the ClusterCATS Server Administrator that is installed on each cluster member for the following reasons:

Using ClusterCATS Explorer to delete cluster members from a cluster does not delete the server's ClusterCATS configuration, which is stored in the server's registry.
Running the ClusterCATS uninstall program and reinstalling does not overwrite the server's ClusterCATS configuration.

To reset a server to its preclustered state:

Open the ClusterCATS Server Administrator on this server by selecting Start > Programs > Macromedia > ClusterCATS Server Administrator.
The ClusterCATS Server Administrator appears.
Click Advanced.
The Advanced Option dialog box appears:
Click Reset ClusterCATS to remove the ClusterCATS configuration from the server.
A message appears confirming that the server has been reset.
Exit the ClusterCATS Server Administrator.

Resetting cluster members on UNIX

Enter the following command at the server you want to reset:

btadmin -reset
