Replacing a Controller Node

A SmartZone cluster consists of one or more nodes. In either SmartZone or virtual SmartZone scenarios, in case of a failure, the node may need to be replaced. Replacing a node in a single-node or multi-node cluster may involve different considerations.

In this section:

  1. Replacing a Controller Node in a Multi-Node Cluster
    This section describes how to replace a controller node in a multi-node cluster. Removing a node and joining a new node is the standard process to replace a node.
  2. Replacing a Controller Node in a Single Node Cluster
    This section describes how to replace a controller node in single node cluster. Ensure you have a configuration backup of the failed node and a new node device to serve as replacement.
