Replacing a Deployed NX Appliance
When replacing one NX appliance with another, you can use either Orchestrator or Appliance Manager.
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 either Appliance Manager or Orchestrator.
When Appliance Manager creates a backup, the destination is the appliance itself. From there, you
can download it to your computer. So, make sure you have a copy external to the appliance.
Orchestrator backs up appliances to the Orchestrator database.
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. To cable and configure the appliance, refer to the
NX Series Quick Start Guide
[PN 200257-001].
6. 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.
7. Restore the backup configuration to the new appliance.
