Service
Both controllers must be the same model. Note that the 7420 (with 2Ghz or 2.40GHz CPUs)
■
is based on the same platform and can be clustered with the 7420 (with 1.86GHz or 2.00
GHz CPUs).
The standalone appliance is powered on. There is no need to power down the standalone
■
appliance during this procedure.
It is strongly recommended that you use the BUI to configure clustered controllers.

Upgrading a Standalone Appliance to a Clustered Configuration (BUI)

Description
Upgrade a node to standalone operation by unconfiguring
the cluster.
If resource modifications are pending (rows highlighted
in yellow), commit those changes to the cluster.
If resource modifications are pending (rows highlighted
in yellow), revert those changes and show the current
cluster configuration.
If the current appliance (left-hand side) is the OWNER,
fail-back resources owned by the other appliance to it,
leaving both nodes in the CLUSTERED state (active/
active).
If the current appliance (left-hand side) is either
CLUSTERED or STRIPPED, force the other appliance
to reboot, and take-over its resources, making the current
appliance the OWNER.
