Deleting a parent/child dependency between resource groups

You can delete a parent/child dependency between resource groups.

About this task

To delete a parent/child dependency, complete the following steps:

Procedure

From the command line, enter smit sysmirror
In SMIT, select Cluster Applications and Resources > Resource Groups > Configure Resource Group Run-Time Policies > Configure Dependencies between Resource Groups > Configure Parent/Child Dependency > Remove a Dependency between Parent/Child Resource Groups and press Enter.

PowerHA® SystemMirror® displays a list of parent/child resource group pairs.
Select a pair from the list to delete and press Enter. Deleting a dependency between resource groups does not delete the resource groups themselves.

Results

Note: If you have the following dependency chain configured: A > B > C, and remove the resource group B, PowerHA SystemMirror sends a warning that the dependency links between A and B, and between B and C are also removed.
