NoteFor information about powering down, disconnecting, repacking, and shipping the Cisco Nexus Cloud Services Platform,see theCisco Nexus Cloud Services Platform Hardware Installation Guide.
Step 1 Collect the following information from the functioning Cisco Nexus Cloud Services Platform.
The HA role of the functioning Cisco Nexus Cloud Services Platform determines the role assigned to the replacement Cisco Nexus Cloud Services Platform.
– If the functioning Cisco Nexus Cloud Services Platform is in the primary HA role, the software for the replacement Cisco Nexus Cloud Services Platform must be set up in the secondary HA role.
– If the functioning Cisco Nexus Cloud Services Platform is in the secondary HA role, the software for the replacement Cisco Nexus Cloud Services Platform must be set up in the primary HA role.
When you are setting up the software for the replacement Cisco Nexus Cloud Services Platform, you must use the same IDs that are used on the functioning Cisco Nexus Cloud Services Platform.
Step 2 Prepare the replacement Cisco Nexus Cloud Services Platform by doing the following:
a. Perform a total firmware update. For more information, see the Verifying the CIMC Software Version section.
– Verify the firmware ISO image.
b. Install the same software release on the replacement Cisco Nexus Cloud Services Platform as that on the existing Cisco Nexus Cloud Services Platform.
