11.8 Deleting or Unsharing a BCC-Enabled Shared NSS Pool Resource

You might need to unshare a pool resource if you decide not to cluster the pool. You might decide to delete an NSS pool if the data stored on it is no longer needed.

Consider the following guidelines when planning to delete or unshare a BCC-enabled pool resource:

To delete or unshare a BCC-enabled shared NSS pool resource:

  1. In iManager, select Clusters > Cluster Options, then select the Cluster object where the shared NSS pool resource is currently active.

  2. If the resource is on a non-master node in the cluster, migrate it to the master node by selecting the resource, then clicking Migrate and specifying the master node.

  3. Select the shared NSS pool resource, click Properties, then select Business Continuity.

  4. Disable BCC for the pool cluster resource, then click Apply.

    For information, see Section 11.6, Disabling BCC for a Cluster Resource.

    Wait for Identity Manager to synchronize the change to all peer clusters before continuing. You can check the other peer clusters to make sure that the cluster resource you BCC-disabled no longer appears in their list of resources.

  5. Select Clusters > Cluster Options, select the shared NSS pool, then select Offline.
