Modifying Physical Cluster Resources
The following sections provide information needed to modify the physical cluster
resources.
Removing Shared Storage
Each cluster node, and the cluster as a whole, depends on the shared storage for data,
log, and possibly application program files. If the shared storage is removed, all
clustered applications that are dependent on that shared storage system will be
offline. Network clients will not have access to the clustered applications.
