[j-nsp] Replacing a member of a virtual chassis?

[Scott Granados]

Good afternoon,

I have an EX4300 stack consisting of 6 members connected together using the cables on the back in to a single chassis.  I have VC-Ports flapping on member 3 which is leading me to believe I have a bad member on a hardware level.  I have looked for a procedure to remove the member from service and install a spare and haven’t found one through Google.  I’ve opened a TAC case and am told I’ll receive the instructions but I’m wondering if anyone has done this and has a pointer to the KB article or a simple set of steps to complete.  The Virtual chassis is not pre provisioned so I don’t have any static mappings of serial numbers to mappings.  Any pointers would be most appreciated. Do I simply install the new member and it auto configures as member 3 or are there request commands and the like I should issue first?  Any KB articles or general advise would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you
Scott
