Step 1

Decommission the nodes in the pod, following these steps for each one:

1. Navigate to Fabric > Inventory and expand the Pod.

2. Select the switch, right-click on it, and choose Remove from Controller.

3. Confirm the action and click OK.

   The process takes about 10 minutes. The node is automatically wiped and reloaded. In addition, the node configuration is removed from the controller.

4. If a decommissioned node had the Port Profile feature deployed on it, some port configurations are not removed with the rest of the configuration. It is necessary to manually delete the configurations after decommission, for the ports to return to the default state. To do this, log onto the switch, run the setup-clean-config.sh script, and wait for it to run. Then, enter the reload command.

Step 2

When all the switches have been decommissioned from the pod, verify they are all physically connected and booted in the desired configuration.

Step 3

Perform the following actions to recommission each node.

1. Navigate to Fabric > Inventory, expand Quick Start, and click Node or Pod Setup.

2. Click Setup Node.

3. In the Pod ID field, choose the pod ID.

4. Click the + to open the Nodes table.

5. Enter the node ID, serial number, Switch name, TEP Pool ID, and Role (leaf or spine) for the switch.

6. Click Update.

Step 4

Verify the nodes are all set up by navigating to Fabric > Inventory > Fabric Membership.
