Deleting an instance from an MSCS (Microsoft Cluster Service) cluster

There are a number of steps you must follow to delete a CDC Replication instance from a Microsoft Cluster.

Procedure

  1. Use the Microsoft Cluster Administrator tool to take the cluster resource for the service offline.
  2. Delete the cluster resource.
  3. From the active node in the cluster, launch the CDC Replication configuration tool.
  4. Delete the instance for the active node.
  5. From the passive node in the cluster, delete the service using the following command:

    sc delete dmtsudb_<instancename>

    where dmtsudb_ is the standard prefix and <instancename> is the CDC Replication instance name.
