3.20 Deactivate Fault Tolerance

If you are running OS/2 LAN Server Fault Tolerance, unmirror and deactivate all those currently mirrored drives on which services will be installed.

In our test environment, we used OS/2 Warp Server's OS/2 base Syslevel 3005 with fixpack 36 and OS/2 Warp Server's LAN Server syslevel 8200 with fixpack 8506.

As you can see in Figure 19, the mirrored Partition G is recognized with FSTYPE 87.



Figure 19: Disk Setup for Fault Tolerance

You can deactivate Fault Tolerance by executing the following steps:

1. Start the FTSETUP Program

2. Under Options, select Deactivate Fault Tolerance...

   A dialog will appear as shown in Figure 20. Choosing DEACTIVATE will perform the following:

   • The RUN=FTMONIT.EXE and DEVICE=DISKFT.SYS lines will be removed from the CONFIG.SYS file.

   • All drives that are mirrored or pending a mirror are unmirrored, and their secondary partitions will be deleted.

   • All detached partitions will be recovered.

3. The system will need to be restarted.

After the migration has completed, disk mirroring can be re-enabled again.
