Reposition APIC servers to other Leaf

[Oliver Asturiano Abdala]

Is there a process in order to move the APIC ports to a different Leaf switch?

Do I need to decommission the APIC first or would it be automatically rediscovered?

Thank you

Moving an APIC from one leaf to another

When moving a Cisco APIC, first ensure that you have a healthy cluster. After verifying the health of the Cisco APIC cluster, choose the Cisco APIC that you intend to shut down. After the Cisco APIC has shut down, move the Cisco APIC, re-connect it, and then turn it back on. From the GUI, verify that the all controllers in the cluster return to a fully fit state.

NOTE! Only move one Cisco APIC at a time.

Moving an APIC from one fabric to another

If a Cisco APIC controller is to be moved from one fabric to another, a clean back-to-factory reboot must be done before attempting to add such an controller to a different Cisco ACI fabric.

Take care,
