Replacing a Failed Server

176
Caution
Assign the new server its own real and virtual IP addresses. Don't assign it the
virtual IP address of the existing system.
Log into the new server, go to Operations > Upgrade Management, and
7
install the patch(es) needed to make it match the software version on the
first server. See "Upgrading the Software"
Shut down the new server. See
8
page 177.
Use one of the provided crossover cables to connect the GB 2 ports of the
9
two servers.
10 Turn on the first server (Node 1).
Caution
The first server must be running properly before you turn on the second server.
11 When the first server displays DMA Ready, turn on the second server.
The second server boots, detects the presence of Node 1, gets its
configuration settings from it, and joins the cluster. When done, both
servers' LCDs display DMA Clustered.
12 Log into the system, go to Configuration > System > License, and enter
the new activation key for the second server. See
13 On the Dashboard, check the License Status, Network Status, and
System Information sections to verify that you now have a properly
configured two-node cluster.

Replacing a server is essentially the same process as adding a second server to
a single-server system. As in that situation, you must make sure that both
servers are running the same version of the Polycom DMA system software.
The procedure assumes that you've gone through the RMA process and
received the replacement server package, which includes the server, its
accessories, and a new license activation key.
