Thanks Hari, But I wanted to specific steps as a procedure to replace a Netapp from a HA node (clustered Data Ontap with 3 HA PAIR). for example . 1)failover the node . 2)shutdown the node. 3)Remove the head. 4)place new head and power on the node. 5)check HA connectivity and join the cluster. 6)Perform failback.
