Node Replace

Overview

Node replacement is a feature that enables administrators and users to replace inactive nodes with new, unassigned nodes. The permissions for replacement vary based on the user role:

• Admin users can replace inactive nodes with any unassigned node.
• Regular nodes can only replace with unassigned regular nodes.
• Super nodes can replace with unassigned super nodes.

Steps for Node Replacement

1. Navigate to Inactive Nodes List:
   • Access the system or platform where nodes are managed.
   • Locate and enter the list of inactive nodes.

2. Initiate Replacement:
   • Identify the inactive node you want to replace.
   • Click on the replace icon associated with the inactive node from the list.

3. Select Replacement Node:
   • A replacement interface will be prompted.

• Choose an unassigned node from the provided dropdown menu.
  • For Admin users: Any unassigned node can be selected.

 - For Regular nodes: Only unassigned regular nodes are available for selection.
 - For Super nodes: Only unassigned super nodes are available for selection.

4. Execute Replacement:
   • After selecting the replacement node, click on the "Replace" button to finalize the operation.

Post-Replace Actions

• After the replacement process is completed:
  • The inactive node will be deleted from the system.
  • The unassigned node selected for replacement will automatically appear in the inactive node's previously mapped cluster.

Conclusion

Node replacement is a crucial functionality that streamlines the process of updating inactive nodes within a system. The permissions associated with replacement ensure that only appropriate nodes are selected based on user roles. Following the outlined steps ensures a smooth and controlled replacement process, contributing to the efficient management of the node infrastructure.
