Two Failover Nodes With the Same Disks, Is it Ok to Remove the Old Node?

  • 772

Recently we've had a file server recreated with the same disks. The new server newfs1 was created with the same exact disks, same path, same disk; as the old file server oldfs1.

Both servers are in the Failover Cluster Manager. The problem comes in with the oldfs1 server--this server is creating alerts constantly because it is in a failed state in the Cluster Manager. I think the solution is to remove the node, but I'm not 100% sure that the disks will stay intact, or if there would be any issues.

Is it safe to right-click>remove the oldfs1 node from the cluster manager?

Is there a better way to handle getting rid of the oldfs1 node from cluster manager?

I am also open to any suggestions.

    I was able to successfully right click>remove on the oldfs1 node in the cluster manager. The oldfs1 server still existed in the Hyper-v manager after removing.
