Resolution
Perform the following steps:
1. If the server was a Master for any partitions, designate a new Master for any partitions that will be left without a Master. This should be done via DSREPAIR -A(NetWare) or ndsrepair -P (Linux) or dsrepair.dlm -A (Windows).
2. Make sure the old server was not the only Time Source.
3. Delete the old server object with iManager. This will remove the server from all replica rings. The volume objects will go unknown for the server. Remove the volume objects in iManager.
