Preparing the old node for removal
Prepare the old node for removal before installing the new node.
Procedure
1. Backup the SMU.
2. Backup the Node Registry.
3. If the node that you are replacing is still running, login to the SMU GUI.
4. Migrate EVSs to an alternate node.
5. Shut down the node.
6. Once the node is shut down, go to Home > Server Settings > Cluster
Configuration and delete the entry for the node that you are replacing.
7. Label the cables connected to each of the ports on the node, and disconnect the
cables once they have been labelled. Ensure that you use dust covers where
required.
8. Remove the old node from the rack.
9. Place the old node into the packaging that the new node was shipped in and mark it
as a bad part.
Installing the new node
You are now ready to install the new node.
Procedure
1. Physically rack the new node into the place of the old node.
2. Connect the cables to the new node, according your labelling.
3. Power up the new node and ensure that BALI loads again.
4. If the customer is using SAN attached, and/or host group security, update this to
reflect the changes that are being made to the WWN, as you documented previously
in Preparing the node, step 5.
5. Add the new node as a managed server on the SMU.
6. From the drop down in the SMU, select the existing Cluster.
