How to move from a clustered enterprise vault setup to a standalone enterprise vault server setup

We have enterprise vault servers (version 9.0.4) running in a two-node active passive cluster setup. We would like to get rid of the clustered setup and move on to a standalone server. Could anyone please advise on the process?

You could do a Data Only DR to a non-clustered EV server.  Should be pretty simple.

I am not moving to a different server. I would like to use the cluster nodes for the standalone EV server. Is there a way to uninstall clustering from the cluster nodes?

The best way to go is to just do a DR  onto one of the physical nodes.

So for example.
 
1.       Detach the physical disks used for index, vault stores etc.  Take a note of their drive letters.
2.       Re-install windows from scratch onto one of the physical nodes.
3.       Attach the disks again with appropriate drive letters.

Re-install EV and do a DR using the recovery method of Data only backups from the Admin guide (there is also a tech article on how to do this, http://www.symantec.com/docs/HOWTO37415).  Use the old EV Cluster Network name as the NETBIOS name of the new server.
