Rehoming Switches

6.0 Update
Rehoming is the process of returning the switches that have failed over to the standby cluster back to their original cluster (once it becomes available). Rehoming must be done manually. Switches that have failed over continue to be managed by the failover cluster until you rehome them.
Note: You can rehome switches only in a cluster redundancy environment. When switches of a certain active cluster fail over to a standby cluster, you must manually restore them to the original cluster after the active cluster is fixed and back to service.

Complete the following steps on the standby cluster to rehome switches to the original cluster:.

  1. Select Network > Wired > Switches to display the Switches window.
  2. In the Organization tab, select a Domain > Switch Group or Switch Group and select the Switch to rehome.
  3. In the System Domain, click More > Rehome Active Cluster to display the Confirmation dialog box.
    There is no feature called Rehome Active Cluster in the UI. Please confirm?
  4. Click Yes.
