1) you said you have 2 viprion chassis. I assume you are using them to host active-standby setup for guests. If that's the true, all the guests are active on one Viprion host so you can carry out change on other Viprion chassis without disrupting prodution services.

​

2) once you swap the blades, configure management IP and activate license. And then upload Host UCS archive from previous setup and restore it.

​

Hope it helps,​

Sadly thats not the case. Both Chasiss are standalone, i know its a design issue but I'm stuck now. I believe the only option is to shutdown the complete chasiss and install the new blade and start from scratch, this will result in huge downtime which won't be accepted​
