Note:  Consult with your IBM SSR for the code version prerequisites for FC4016. 

A copy consistency check is run at the beginning of the process. Do not skip consistency checks unless it is a disaster recovery (DR) unjoin or you can account for why a volume is inconsistent. Failure to perform this check can result in data loss when the only valid copy was present on the removed cluster. 

After a cluster is removed, you might want to modify the host configuration to remove the LIBPORT IDs that are associated with the removed cluster.
