Effects of moving

Moving an LSNB to a different Global Safety Network (GSN) domain does not change any of the LSNB's properties other than the domain name.
  CAUTION
If you move the last LSNB out of a domain, that domain will be removed from the hierarchy.

You cannot move an LSNB if it is commissioned and/or assigned.

Moving an LSNB to a different domain will affect the publishing of secure parameters. What happens may differ, depending on what is moved:

Scenario 1: Move an LSNB that has publishers, AND move all the nodes which reference the secure parameters it publishes, to the same new domain: no changes to publishers.

Scenario 2: Move an LSNB that has publishers, without moving the referencing nodes:
  • If the LSNB has system publishers, they remain unchanged.
  • If the LSNB has domain publishers, the system automatically converts them to system publishers IF it can.
  • The system will support a maximum of 8 system publishers. If the system already has 5 system publishers, and the LSNB that was moved has 5 domain publishers, only 3 of those will be converted to system publishers. Two domain publishers will remain unchanged.
  • If the unconverted domain publishers hold data that is needed by nodes in the original domain, that data will now be unavailable to those nodes. The preferred option to provide those nodes the data they need is to move the referencing nodes to the new domain, but new instances.
    Note:
    It may or may not be possible to create new instances of the secure parameters within the original domain, because the parameters may be associated with specific hardware.

There are two ways to move an LSNB:
