Adding a Replacement Server Blade to a Farm

If you exchanged a server blade that was assigned to a farm and you want the newly placed server blade to be assigned to that farm, you need to add the new blade to the farm.

To Add a Replacement Server Blade to a Farm

Steps

1. Delete the replaceFailedDevice request in the database queue.

   1. On the control plane server, type request -l to get the request ID.

   2. Type request -d request-ID to delete the request.

2. Replace the failed server blade with a new one.

3. Get the media access control (MAC) address for the new blade and update the CPDB by typing:

   device -s device-ID -o port-name mac-address

4. Type replacedevice -i

5. Logon to the Control Center and submit a request for an update using the Control Center Editor.

   See the N1 Provisioning Server 3.1, Blades Edition, Control Center Management Guide for details.
