Proceed as follows:

 

  1. Remove device2
  2. The device2 removed from the device group device1 and 3
  3. device2 removed from the peer list device1 and 3
  4. The new installed device2
  5. deivec2 rejoin the peer list device1 and 3
  6. deivec2 rejoin device1 and device group 3 of
  7. From the active (device1) the device group "syns device to group"

    Is it not possible just to archive and then offline device2, install the archive onto the new unit, and then sync to it? All peer relationships should be re-established at that point preventing the need to go through that extensive process.

     

    However, if you want to approach it that way, it seems fine with the caveat that I'd archive and sync all the systems ahead of step 1.
