The procedures for replacing components of hosts in a degraded state depend on whether the host is assigned or unassigned. An assigned host belongs to a workload domain. An unassigned host has been commissioned, but is not assigned to a workload domain.

These procedures apply to the following components:
  • CPU
  • Memory
  • Out-of-Band Management
  • Power supply
