# remove 2 cables from mdh-p01-eshv{1,2,3}


## Pre migrate tasks

*  we need to identify the ports where the cables are plugged  in the switch

* change the network configurations on xcp-ng/ create a new VLAN 4 bonded interface(0+1)called HornbillVLAN

## Migrate tasks
* configure inter(0+1) on the switch to accept tagged traffic for VLAN 4
* shutdown individual VM's ,change interface from hornbill to hornbillVLAN, remove lan interface from the VMs as it's not used
* start the machine and make sure we can connect to the network
* check status of the elastic search cluster
* repeat for each VM and for the hypervisor until the pool is completed
* remove hornbill interface from XCP-ng
* rename hornbillVLAN to hornbill
* remove the cables planned for removal
* update cloudwiki documentation

## Backout plan
* plug the cables back in the deignated ports and try to identify what caused the procedure to fail
