/REMOVE_NODE
       /NOREMOVE_NODE (default)

    Removes a node from the active cluster quorum. Use this qualifier
    when you do not expect the shut-down node to rejoin the cluster
    for an extended period.

    When you use the /REMOVE_NODE qualifier, active quorum in the
    remainder of the cluster is adjusted downward to reflect the fact
    that the removed node's votes no longer contribute to the quorum
    value. The shutdown procedure readjusts the quorum by issuing the
    SET CLUSTER/EXPECTED_VOTES command.

    You can reset options by using the following command:

    SYSMAN> STARTUP SET OPTIONS/NOVERIFY/NOCHECKPOINTING
