Removing a client from the single system image

You might want to remove a client node from the single system image temporarily while you perform some maintenance on the system hardware. To do this, you must first ensure that:

• The system that contains the client node is running
• Blueworx Voice Response is not running

Then, on the client node:

1. Log in as the Blueworx Voice Response account (usually this is dtuser).
2. Respond with 2 when prompted not to start Blueworx Voice Response.
3. Run the ssirmclient command.

   If you want more information, see ssirmclient command.

The system is now a stand-alone Blueworx Voice Response system.

When you want to use the system as a client node again, type the following command:

where server_hostname is the host name of the database server node. You are prompted to type the password of the Blueworx Voice Response user on the server. This ensures that a connection can be made to that server. Normally this login ID is dtuser. For more information, see ssimkclient command.

If you want to use the system permanently as a stand-alone Blueworx Voice Response system:

1. Perform the steps to remove the client from the single system image.
2. On the system that was configured as a client, log in as root by typing the command su root
3. Remove the NFS mounts from the client node by typing the following NFS commands:

      rmnfsmnt -f /home/dirTalk/current_dir/ca.ssi

      rmnfsmnt -f /home/dirTalk/current_dir/voice.ssi

   For more information on this NFS command, see the Commands Reference .

4. On the SSI server node, remove the host name of the client node from the access list that is on the exports that you created when you configured the client node. To do this:
   1. Log in as root.
   2. Log in as x/etc/exports
   3. Find the lines that Blueworx Voice Response uses.

      For example:

         /home/dirTalk/current_dir/ca.local-access=tarbuck.mydomain.com

   4. Delete the host name of the client that you are removing from the single system image.
      Note: If you are removing the only client from the single system image, you must delete the whole line.
   5. Type the following NFS commands to stop the file systems from being available to the client:

         exportfs -u /home/dirTalk/current_dir/ca.local 

         exportfs -u /home/dirTalk/current_dir/voice.local
