Multi-node Cluster

If the MDS switch you want to replace is the master node in one or more SME Clusters, you must first fail the master node and then remove the failed master node.

If the MDS switch you want to replace is a non-master node in a multi-node SME cluster, you must remove the SME interfaces (if any) and the node from the clusters using the DCNM SME management UI. For more infomation, see “Removing (Unbinding) SME Interfaces from a SME Cluster” and “Deleting Switches From a SME Cluster”.
