-
Gather the IP address settings
of the failed node.
Unless stated otherwise, you
will set the new node with the same IP address values as the unit being
replaced:
- ICC Interface IP
Address—For the ICC interface, you must assign a new IP address to the
replacement node.
- Data Port Interface IP
Address
- DNS Server Address
- NTP Server Address
-
Configure the VRRP priority for
the replacement node.
Note
To ensure that the
replacement node successfully joins the cluster, set the VRRP node priority
of the replacement node to a value that is lower than the value of the
existing nodes. This ensures that the VRRP address is pointing at a working
node in the cluster during the joining process. After the replacement node
has joined the cluster, you can set the VRRP node priority to first priority
if desired, but this is not required.
-
Use the Basic Configuration
Wizard to configure the replacement unit.
This is required if you are
replacing the unit hardware. Node Replacement initially resets the node
connections. It may not require new hardware.
For information
about the Basic Configuration Wizard, see the appropriate Deployment
Guide.
-
Upgrade the Universal Compute Platform
for the new node to the current software version.
What to do Next
After you have gathered the necessary information and verified the software version
of all nodes in the cluster, go to the Replace a Node procedure.
