Manual node recovery
There are certain situations where, for a number of different reasons, automatic recovery
may fail. Automatic recovery has been deliberately designed to be cautious in its
approach to recovering a node and for reasons such as:
■ The backup stored on the AMF masters not having a “Good” status
■ The replacement device is of a different type to the node being replaced
When these situations occur, automatic node recovery may fail.
If automatic node recovery fails, the replacement device will have AMF safe configuration
mode applied (see section
“AMF safe configuration” on page 31 ). If automatic node
recovery fails, you may wish to proceed with manual node recovery, which can be initiated
by entering the following command:
Where:
■ node_name is the host name of the device you wish to recover.
■ master_node_name is the host name of the AMF master that contains the backup
you want to use for the recovery.
Here is an example showing manual recovery:
If the replacement device is of a different type to the one stored in the backup on the
specified AMF master node, the incompatible release file from the backup will not be
copied to the replacement device. Instead, the existing release on the replacement device
will be used, in order to ensure the device is able to join the AMF network and function
correctly.

Note The manual recovery command will bypass the usual checks performed by
automatic node recovery, it is important to be confident that the backup
configuration stored on the specified AMF master is correct prior to executing
the command.
