Replacing a Failed Server System Management and Maintenance

11 When the first server displays DMA Ready, turn on the second server.
The second server boots, detects the presence of Server 1, gets its
configuration settings from it, and joins the cluster. When done, both
servers’ LCDs display DMA Clustered.
12 Log into the system, go to Admin >Local Cluster > Licenses, and follow
the procedure for obtaining and entering a license activation key. See
“Add Licenses” on page82.
13 On the Dashboard, check the License Status, Supercluster Status, and
Cluster Info panes to verify that you now have a properly configured
two-server cluster.

Replacing a Failed Server Replacing a server is essentially the same process as adding a second server to
a single-server system. As in that situation, you must make sure that both
servers are running the same version of the Polycom DMA system software.
The procedure assumes that you’ve gone through the RMA process and
received the replacement server package, which includes the server, its
accessories, and a new License Certificate.
To replace a failed server in a two-server cluster
1If you haven’t already done so, power down, uncable, and remove the
failed server.
2Log into your Polycom DMA system and determine the software version
(including patch level) installed on the remaining server. Write it down
for later reference.
3Do one of the following:
—If your system is running an unpatched release version of the system
software for which you have the installation DVD, follow the
procedure in “Expanding an Unpatched System” on page403,
skipping step 2.
—If your system is running a patched version of the system software
different from that on the installation DVD, follow the procedure in
“Expanding a Patched System” on page 404, skipping steps 3 and 4.
