Permanently uninstall cloud services and clean up the environment

Before setting up a fresh multi-node, you must clean up the environment.

Perform the following steps to do a cleanup of the environment and be able to create a fresh multi-node setup.

  1. Recall any data that is migrated to the cloud storage by Transparent cloud tiering. For more information, see Recalling files from the cloud storage tier.
  2. Delete the container pair set by issuing a command similar to this:
    mmcloudgateway containerpairset delete --cloud-nodeclass cloud1 --container-pair-set-name vm206
    For more information, see Binding your file system or fileset to the Cloud service by creating a container pair set.
  3. Delete the cloud services by issuing a command similar to this:
    mmcloudgateway cloudservice delete --cloud-nodeclass cloud --cloud-service-name newServ
    For more information, see Creating cloud services.
  4. Delete the CSAP by issuing a command similar to this:
    mmcloudgateway cloudStorageAccessPoint delete --cloud-nodeclass cloud --cloud-storage-access-point-name  csap1
    For more information, see Defining cloud storage access points (CSAP).
  5. Delete the cloud storage account by issuing a command similar to this:
    mmcloudgateway account delete --cloud-nodeclass cloud --account-name new
    For more information, see Managing a cloud storage account.
  6. Stop the cloud services on all nodes by issuing a command similar to this:
    mmcloudgateway service stop -N cloud1
    For more information, see Stopping cloud services software.
  7. Disable cloud services nodes on the node group by issuing a command similar to this:
    mmchnode --cloud-gateway-disable -N vm1,vm2 --cloud-gateway-nodeclass cloud1
    For more information, see Designating the cloud services nodes.
  8. Delete the node class if required. For more information, see the mmdelnodeclass command command.
  9. Uninstall the cloud services RPMs (both server and client) from all the nodes by issuing the following command:
    • rpm -e gpfs.tct.server-x-x.x.x86_64
    • rpm -e gpfs.tct.client-x.x.x.x86_64.rpm
