Disable, delete, or redeploy a storage zones controller

To disable a storage zones controller

Note:

Use this procedure if each storage zones controller has a different external address. Disable a controller from the Citrix ADC interface if you use the same external address for all storage zones controllers.

Disable a storage zones controller before taking the server off-line for maintenance.

1. In the ShareFile web interface, click Admin and then click Storage zones.
2. Click the zone name and then click the storage zones controller host name.
3. Clear the enabled check box and then click Save Changes.
4. Restart the IIS server of all zone members.

To delete a storage zones controller

Storage zone controllers cannot be deleted if:

• ShareFile data migration is in progress. Complete the data migration before attempting to delete the storage zone.

• ShareFile data exists on the zone. Delete all existing data before attempting to delete the storage zone.

Deleting a storage zones controller does not delete the data or SCKeys.txt. If you are deleting a primary storage zones controller, demote it before continuing.

1. In the ShareFile web interface, click Admin and then click Storage zones.
2. Click the zone name and then click the storage zones controller host name.
3. Click Delete.
4. Restart the IIS server of all zone members.

To redeploy a storage zones controller

No information is lost when you redeploy a storage zones controller.

1. Uninstall storage zones from the server.
2. In the ShareFile web interface, click Admin > Storage zones, and then select your zone. Do not delete the zone.
3. Select the storage zones controller and delete it.
4. Install storage zones. Do not register it yet.
5. Run the storage zones controller configuration wizard to join the storage zones controller to a zone and complete the registration.
6. Restart the IIS server of all zone members.
