The option in the Dynamic File Services Uninstall tool allows you to add or remove the Dynamic File Service component on a computer. The Dynamic File Service is typically installed only on those servers where you want to create pairs and policies.
In a cluster, you must modify the software on each node in turn in order to update the information stored locally on each server. The following procedure assumes a two-node failover cluster. Modify the steps as necessary if you have more nodes.
IMPORTANT:Before you begin, ensure that you meet the Prerequisites for Modifying, Repairing, or Removing Dynamic File Services Software.
Modify the installation setup on the active node:
Log in as the Administrator user or as a user with Administrator privileges.
Use the Windows Cluster Administrator tool to stop the Dynamic File Service by taking its cluster resource offline.
Modify the installed components as described in Step 3 through Step 7 in Section B.2, Modifying Dynamic File Services.
Use the Windows Cluster Administrator tool to move the following cluster resources to the second node:
The shared disk that contains the Dynamic File Services software
The shared disk that contains the Dynamic File Services program data
The Dynamic File Service
Repeat Step 1 for the second cluster node, then continue with Step 4.
(Optional) Use the Windows Cluster Administrator tool to move the Dynamic File Service and disk resources back to the first node.
Log in to the active cluster node as the Administrator user or as a user with Administrator privileges.
Use the Windows Cluster Administrator tool to start the Dynamic File Service by bringing its cluster resource online.
