Replacing an Ethernet interface card

In some cases, you may need to replace an Ethernet interface card on a node. This section describes the steps to replace the card.

Note:

This procedure works for replacing an existing Ethernet interface card. It does not work for adding an Ethernet interface card to the cluster. If the Ethernet interface card you add needs a new device driver, install the new device driver before installing the Ethernet interface card on the node.

To replace an Ethernet interface card

  1. Use the Cluster> shutdown command to shut down the node.

    For example:

    Cluster> shutdown access_03
Stopping Cluster processes on access_03.......done
Sent shutdown command to access_03
  2. Use the Cluster> del command to delete the node from the cluster.

    For example:

    Cluster> del access_03
  3. Install the replacement Ethernet interface card on the node.
  4. Turn on the node.
  5. Make sure that the Ethernet interface card is active and online.
  6. Use the Cluster> add command to add the node back into the cluster.

    For example:

    Cluster> add 172.16.113.118

For details on the Cluster> add and Upgrade>commands that are described in this section, see the relevant man pages.
