This procedure describes how to replace failed resource pool servers.

1. Verify that the device is in a FAILED state in the CPDB by typing :

   /opt/terraspring/sbin/device -l device-ID

2. If the device is not in a FAILED state, manually fail it by typing:

   /opt/terraspring/sbin/device -sB device-ID

3. Configure an identical replacement device.

   1. Collect the interface and port address information, such as Media Access Control (MAC) address for Ethernet ports.

   2. Configure the device.

   3. For details on how to configure the device see the N1 Provisioning Server 3.1, Blades Edition, Installation Guide.

      Verify that the firmware is the supported version.

4. Remove the failed device from the I-Fabric.

5. Install the replacement or repaired device into the I-Fabric using existing cables and connectors.

6. Label the device to match the failed device.

7. Update the CPDB with the information collected in step 3, replacing the old port address information with the new one.

8. Change the state of the replacement device in the CPDB to FREE by typing:

   /opt/terraspring/sbin/device -sF device-ID
