P4xx Node swap

[BAllen]

Is there a documented procedure for swapping out P4XXX nodes?  Upgrading cluster to new nodes and need to remove and redeploy old nodes in another location.  I'm told there is a node swap procedure/command to do this

yes...  add the new node to the management group and then right click on the cluster you want to modify and select "exchange nodes".  Its all in the user help section if you are unsure at that point... just click help on the popup window during the exchange node process.

If you have multiple nodes to change, you should change them all at once.  Add all nodes to the managemen group and then do the exchange all at the same time so it only does one restripe.
