Replace a Node

Replacing a node in a cluster is performed when a node has failed and must be replaced. The replacement node gets delivered in a reset state. After initializing the node for its network presence, the new node is added to the cluster and assumes the service load of the removed node.

Note

Before you replace a node, review the information in Prepare to Replace a Node.

Note

This option is not available for standalone deployments.

From the primary node in the cluster (Node 1), take the following steps:

Go to Cluster Services > Node Replacement.

Node Replacement
Select the failed node and select Next.

Existing credentials are used to establish connection to the failed node. Configuration and services information is transferred from the primary node to the failed node in an effort to re-establish a connection.

If it is necessary to replace the node hardware, refer to the Installation Guide for your specific Universal Compute Platform Appliance hardware for detailed information.
