Remove the existing failover cluster configuration

Remove your failover cluster configuration when:

  • The failover cluster configuration was not successful.

  • Upgrading to a newer version of XProtect Management Server Failover.

  • Changing the SQL database location.

  • Updating the SQL Server version.

  • Enabling or disabling encryption between the management server and the recording server.

  • Changing the system configuration password.

  • Troubleshooting an issue.

The wizard does not remove the XProtect Management Server Failover license, the SQL Server databases, and the server and user certificates.

Before you remove the failover cluster configuration, replace the virtual IP address with the address of a running management server on all clients and remote servers.

To remove the failover cluster configuration successfully, you need to use a Windows user that has administrative permissions in XProtect.

To remove the existing failover cluster configuration from the primary and secondary computers:

  1. In the notification area, right-click the Management Server Manager tray icon.

  2. Select Configure Failover Management Server.

  3. Select Remove existing configuration and then Continue. The wizard removes the failover management server configuration from the computer.

  4. Select Close to exit the wizard.

    Repeat the steps on the other computer that is part of the failover cluster.
