How to Remove Oracle Fail Safe From a Windows NT Cluster Server: 
================================================================ 
 
*** ***  
 
  This procedure assumes that you wish to disable and remove Oracle Fail  
  Safe from your Windows NT cluster. 
 
 
Before you remove the database, make sure that all users and all connections  
to the database virtual node are disconnected. 
 
Then proceed with the following steps.  Carefully execute these steps in  
order from the primary node. 
  
1. Using Oracle Fail Safe Manager, remove the following: 
 
   o All Fail Safe databases from your Fail Safe groups. 
 
     Note:  At this point Fail Safe manager tells you that it is removing  
            the instance from the group.  Once the database is removed,  
            it appears in the Standalone folder of its primary node. 
 
   o All Fail Safe groups. 
 
2. Exit Oracle Fail Safe Manager. 
 
3. Invoke the Oracle Installer. 
 
   Note:  For 3.0.X, use the Fail Safe cdrom, run the installer, and  
          deinstall the product.  Then select the Fail Safe product. 
 
4. Remove the Oracle Fail Safe Manager, and/or Oracle Fail Safe Server. 
   When you are prompted to unregister the Oracle Database Resource 
   from the cluster, select YES. 
 
5. Reboot the primary node.
