Replacing a Deployed EdgeConnect Appliance
We recommend using Orchestrator when replacing one EdgeConnect device with another.
1. Before removing the installed appliance, look at its configuration and write down the mgmt0 IP addresses /
netmask and mgmt0 next-hop IP address.
2. If you haven’t backed up the configuration, do it now, using Orchestrator.
3. Power down, disconnect, and remove the old appliance.
4. Physically install the new [replacement] appliance.
If you need to review rack mount instructions, refer to Silver Peak’s
User Documentation web page
.
5. Cable the appliance, as directed. As needed, refer to the
Unity EdgeConnect Quick Start Guide
[PN 200907-
001],
Part 1 - Physical Installation
.
After you power on the EdgeConnect appliance, it automatically registers its serial number with the Silver
Peak Cloud Portal. The portal knows a serial number's associated account.
6. In the Orchestrator header, click the blinking Appliances Discovered box.
The Discovered Appliances tab opens, listing the most recently discovered appliances first.
7. After verifying that the appliance is yours, click Approve to add it to your network. A pop-up box appears,
enabling you to assign the appliance to a group.\
8. Make sure that the software revision in the new appliance is the same as in the replaced appliance:
If the previous appliance was at a
higher
software revision, upgrade the new appliance to that
revision.
If the previous appliance was at a
lower
software revision, call Customer Support for assistance in
downgrading.
9. Restore the backup configuration to the new appliance.
10. Finally, delete the removed EdgeConnect from the Orchestrator database. This also deletes all its backups.
