Rehoming Managed APs and Data Planes

Rehoming is the process of returning the APs and external data planes that have failed over to the standby cluster back to their original cluster (once it becomes available). Rehoming must be done manually. APs and external data planes that have failed over will continue to be managed by the failover cluster until you rehome them.
NOTE
You can rehome managed APs and external data planes, only in a cluster redundancy environment. When APs or external data planes of a certain active cluster failover to a standby cluster, you must manually restore them to the original cluster, once the active cluster is fixed and back to service.

Rehoming APs or external data planes must be done on a per-cluster basis. Follow these steps to rehome managed APs to the original cluster:

  1. From the Access Points page, select the System to activate rehome operation.
  2. Click More and select Rehome Active Clusters. A confirmation dialog box appears.
  3. Click Yes, you have set all APs in the standby cluster to rehome to the active cluster to which they were previously. connected
