You can use an SG100 or SG1000 services appliance to recover a failed Gateway Node, a failed non-primary Admin Node, or a failed primary Admin Node that was hosted on VMware, a Linux host, or a services appliance. This procedure is one step of the grid node recovery procedure.
Before you begin
You must have determined that one of the following situations is true:
- The virtual machine hosting the node cannot be restored.
- The physical or virtual Linux host for the grid node has failed, and must be replaced.
- The services appliance hosting the grid node must be replaced.
Attention: Do not deploy the SG100 and SG1000 service appliances in the same site. Unpredictable performance might result.
