ACI Multipod Decommission

[Luke Poskitt]

Hi All,

I have a Multipod environment containign two pods that is operating nominally.  After some thought on future expansion considerations, we decided to renumber the node IDs in the second pod to accomodate future expansion.

After doing so, our multipod configuration seems very unhappy, there are no members in the second pod, and some objects (e.g. the node profiles in the multipod L3Out) are unable to be deleted.

What is the correct process for renumbering nodes in an existing multipod environment, or if need be, decommissioning a pod in a multipod environment?

Cheers,

-Luke

Probably bad form to reply to my own message so quickly, but for anyone wondering/interested: I had to decommission and then re-register a spine in the second pod using its previous node ID.  

I was then able to add and configure the other spine in pod 2 in the multipod L3Out.  Makes sense in retrospect, I probably should have considered the deep integration and dependency on node IDs before jumping in head-first.
