How to Remove a Node from an IPv4 Cluster and Add it to an IPv6 Cluster and Vice-versa
You can remove a node from an existing IPv4 cluster and add it to another IPv6 cluster. Refer to the following examples.
Physical Devices Out of Band Clusters
In physical devices OOB cluster, the nodes are auto-discovered. In the following example:
- Seattle 600 is an IPv4 cluster
- Seattle 100 is an IPv6 cluster
- Node1chassis-member is a node that is present in cluster Seattle 600 that must be moved to Seattle 100
Run the following CLI commands:
| Step | Command |
|---|---|
| To remove Node1chassis-member from the cluster Seattle 600 | Seattle [600: Node1chassis-member] (config) # no cluster enable |
| To configure the IP protocol of Node1chassis-member as IPv6 | Node1chassis-member (config) # cluster interface eth0 ipv6 |
| To add Node1chassis-member to cluster Seattle 100 | Node1chassis-member (config) # cluster id 100 Node1chassis-member (config) # cluster name 100 Seattle [100: Node1chassis-member] (config) # cluster enable |
The node is removed from cluster 600 which is an IPv4 cluster and added to the cluster 100 which is an IPv6 cluster.
Layer 3 Out of Band Clusters
In Layer 3 Out Of Band cluster, the nodes must be manually auto-discovered. In the following example:
- Seattle 600 is an IPv4 cluster
- Seattle 100 is an IPv6 cluster
- Node1chassis-member is a node that is present in cluster Seattle 600 that must be moved to Seattle 100
Run the following CLI commands:
| Step | Command |
|---|---|
| To remove Node1chassis-member from the cluster Seattle 600 | Seattle [600: Node1chassis-member] (config) # no cluster enable |
| To remove the primary and secondary IP address | Node1chassis-member (config) # no cluster leader primary ip Node1chassis-member (config) # no cluster leader secondary ip |
| To configure the IP protocol of Node1chassis-member as IPv6 | Node1chassis-member (config) # cluster interface eth0 ipv6 |
| To add Node1chassis-member to cluster Seattle 100 | Node1chassis-member (config) # cluster id 100 Node1chassis-member (config) # cluster name 100 Seattle [100: Node1chassis-member] (config) # cluster enable |
The node is removed from cluster 600 which is an IPv4 cluster and added to the cluster 100 which is an IPv6 cluste
