Restoring Configuration to Multiple Nodes in a Cluster

If the cluster itself is not healthy anymore or if multiple nodes need to replaced, you must you must factory reset all remaining nodes to ensure that configuration restore to the cluster will be successful.

Follow the steps to restore the configuration to multiple nodes in a cluster.
  1. Prepare the new controller nodes and factory reset all of the existing nodes in the cluster.
  2. Complete the setup procedure for one of the controller nodes.

    For instructions, see the SmartCell Gateway 200 Getting Started Guide for this release.

  3. After you complete the setup of one node, log on to the web interface of that node as a system administrator.
  4. Go to Administration > Backup and Restore.
  5. In the Configuration tab, click Upload.
  6. Locate the configuration backup file that you want to restore.
  7. Click Upload.

    After the configuration file is uploaded successfully, it appears in the Configuration section.

    2. In the Configuration tab, locate the configuration backup file that you want to restore.
    3. Click Restore.
