4.
Disconnect all power cords from the node.
5.
From the back of the node, make a note of all cable connections then disconnect the cables.
6.
Remove the node from the front of the chassis. See
“Replacing a Primary Node” (page 203)
for details.
7.
Install the replacement VLS9200 node into the rack.
8.
Reconnect the cables to the new node.
The VLS9200 master node does not need the USB dongle. The Ethernet switch cables should
now connect to NIC ports 3 and 4.
9.
Reconnect the power cords to the node.
10. Power up the node.
11. Insert the Quick Restore DVD into the drive and start the Quick Restore process. When the
Quick Restore is complete, the node will automatically reboot.

through
for all secondary nodes.
13. When the master node comes up after the reboot, configure it as you would configure a new
VLS installation. See
“Configuring the Primary Node 0” (page 42)
for details. The node will
reboot after the configuration is set.
14. After the master node comes up after the reboot, configure each secondary node as you would
configure a new VLS installation. See
“Configuring the Secondary Nodes” (page 42)
for
details.
15. Log into Command View VLS to ensure that all secondary nodes have come up. (It does not
matter if they show a degraded state.)
16. Install the hp_6.1.0_reboot_3053 patch to the system; this will adjust the new backend Ethernet
configuration on each node. See the HP Virtual Library System hp_6.1.0_reboot_3053 Patch
Release Notes for details.
17. After the automatic reboot from the patch, log back into Command View VLS.
18. If any of the secondary nodes show a degraded state, run the Clear All Faults task on the
Chassis screen.
All nodes should now be up and in the green Good state.
