Managing the Compaq ProLiant Clusters HA/F100 and HA/F200 5-9 Physically Replacing a Cluster Node To simplify integration of the new cluster node, retain the Windows NT boot drives from the node being replaced for use in the replacement node. If this is not possible, perform the steps described in the Chapter 3 Assisted Integration procedure for adding a second node. NOTE: These procedures for physically replacing a cluster node assume that you are making modifications to a previously configured HA/F100 or HA/F200. Replacing a Cluster Node To replace an existing cluster node: 1. Ensure all cluster groups are running on the remaining cluster node (Node1, for example). Fail over to the remaining node any cluster groups that are running on the node being replaced (Node2). 2. Open Cluster Administrator on Node1. Right click Node2. Select Evict Node to remove Node2 from the cluster. 3. Once Node2 is removed from the cluster, shut it down and power it off. 4. Remove the interconnect, LAN, Fibre Channel cables, and power cables. Remove any other cables that are attached to the node. If the node is in a rack, remove it from the rack. 5. Remove all hardware devices that will be used in the new node from the node being replaced and place them in the new node. Install all other hardware devices into the new node. 6. If the new node is part of a rack system, place the server in the rack. Attach the interconnect, LAN, Fibre Channel cables, and power cables. If you are using the Windows NT boot drives from the replaced node in the new node, power on the new node and follow the steps described in "Verifying Integration of the Replacement Node." Add or replace device drivers for any components that have been added or removed. If you are recreating the new node, follow installations steps as outlined in Chapter 3.

Managing the Compaq ProLiant Clusters HA/F100 and HA/F200

Physically Replacing a Cluster Node
To simplify integration of the new cluster node, retain the Windows NT boot
drives from the node being replaced for use in the replacement node. If this is
not possible, perform the steps described in the Chapter 3 Assisted Integration
procedure for adding a second node.
NOTE:
These procedures for physically replacing a cluster node assume that you are
making modifications to a previously configured HA/F100 or HA/F200.
Replacing a Cluster Node
To replace an existing cluster node:
1.
Ensure all cluster groups are running on the remaining cluster node
(Node1, for example). Fail over to the remaining node any cluster
groups that are running on the node being replaced (Node2).
2.
Open Cluster Administrator on Node1. Right click Node2. Select Evict
Node to remove Node2 from the cluster.
3.
Once Node2 is removed from the cluster, shut it down and power it off.
4.
Remove the interconnect, LAN, Fibre Channel cables, and power
cables. Remove any other cables that are attached to the node. If the
node is in a rack, remove it from the rack.
5.
Remove all hardware devices that will be used in the new node from the
node being replaced and place them in the new node. Install all other
hardware devices into the new node.
6.
If the new node is part of a rack system, place the server in the rack.
Attach the interconnect, LAN, Fibre Channel cables, and power cables.
If you are using the Windows NT boot drives from the replaced node in the
new node, power on the new node and follow the steps described in “Verifying
Integration of the Replacement Node.” Add or replace device drivers for any
components that have been added or removed.
If you are recreating the new node, follow installations steps as outlined in
Chapter 3.
