Performing the procedure requires a restart of each NSP cluster, which is service-affecting. During the restart, the NSP may be temporarily unavailable.

You must perform the procedure only during a scheduled maintenance period.

Note: You must perform the procedure on each NSP cluster.

Note: In a DR deployment, you must perform the steps first on the standby NSP cluster.
