Replacing failed seconday iscsi node.

Hi all,

My secondary/passive node took a dive and is dead (multiple HDD failure).
New HDD's going in and a fresh install of DSS V6. How do I now add it back to the primary and have it pull everything over from the primary Node?

I'm running iscsi and have 5 LV volumes (each 500GB) in an iscsi failover setup.

How do I tell the primary node that is it's going to have to synchronize everything over to the secondary node.

Cheers

You need to stop failover and configure it again.

do you have an backup of secondary dss config?
if so.
clean up your metadata. and start resync.

So setting up failover again and having the source as the primary and destination as the secondary, it will sync the source to the destination?

I won't lose any data on my primary?

You won't, but making backup is always good idea

Just to tidy up,

I reinstalled my secondary node from scratch, then just went through setting up failover again one both nodes and it synced my data perfectly.

I'm now back on track with my redundant setup.

Thanks all for the help/advice.

Cheers
