Active/Passive Cluster - Replace one node with new hardware

[nova17.de]

Hi Al,

I have to replace the Secondary/Passive Node, not the Primary/Active - so I guess it should be more easy as in the Knowledge Article.

So it should work like this:

1) Stop the Cluster, Shutdown SN
2) Reinstall Open-E on the new Hardware, configure the same way as the ols SN (same IPs, ...)
3) Replicate all Volumes from PN to the new SN
4) Reconfigure iSCSI Failover

I think the best is to do this in the afternoon, keep everything offline - wait until the replication is done and then reestablish the iSCSI failover.

Manuel,

This is correct if you are replacing the hardware where you will need to replicate the data again and configure the replication once more so have a maintenance widow ready.
