Yes, we do. Unless something has changed recently, there's a QR code on the composer that bascially goes to a "reimage me to the right version" document. I can't link to it right now because our doc site is offline

Yes, i know the composer need to be reimaged. But after that, do i need to do anything else? or Oneview detects the second composer automatically?

many thanks

You should not have to do anything. If there are no cable or topology issues; it will automatically form an HA cluster without doing anything. You should monitor the progress in the HPE OneView settings page for the composer and/or the composer's maintenance console (that will also identify primary and standby and status).

Actually, the HPE Oneview can not add a second Composer, the solution is clear current configuration, reimage both Composers and redeploy Oneview

Just for clarification to other readers. There is typically no need to clear any configuration in order to add a second composer.
