RA4000 Controller Hot Replace
In an HA/F200 cluster an RA4000 controller can be replaced in the
RA4000/4100 without powering down the storage system or taking the cluster
“off-line.” This is called “hot replace.”
To replace the RA4000 controller, use the following steps:
NOTE:
During this procedure, Auto-Failback and/or Path Verification can be either
enabled or disabled.
1.
Identify which controller needs to be replaced from the Secure Path
Manager screen.
2.
Remove the RA4000 controller. This can be either the active or standby
RA4000 controller.
3.
Disconnect Fibre Channel cable from removed controller. Wait for
Secure Path to acknowledge the failed path.
4.
Insert replacement controller. Wait for LED #8 to start flashing. This
will take about 30 seconds.
After the LED starts flashing, wait for additional 4 to 5 minutes to allow
the system to settle before continuing to the next step.
5.
Connect Fibre Channel cable to the replaced RA4000controller.
6.
Initiate a rescan by pressing
F5
or by selecting View - Refresh in the
Secure Path Manager.
7.
Click on any failed RA4000 controllers in the right pane and choose
Verify Path or Repair Path, if necessary.
8.
Make a note of the change in the serial number of the replaced RA4000
controller.
NOTE:
In order to swap in a previously removed controller into its original slot/location,
the system may need to be rebooted.
