Mark the new chassis as
FAILED
in the Active Archive System database, and clean up references to it.
The Active Archive System created a new
INSTOCK
node in its database for the new chassis. If you do not mark
the new chassis as
FAILED
in the database, you are in effect adding a new node rather than replacing an existing
node's chassis. Therefore, you must remove the
INSTOCK
node by following the steps below.
a) Mark the new chassis as
FAILED
in the Active Archive System database:
Execute this command on the Management Node:
cloudapi.device.updateModelProperties(dg, \
status=str(q.enumerators.devicestatustype.FAILED))
The new chassis now appears under the
FAILED
list in the CMC, and is removed from the
Unmanaged
Devices
list.

b) From the Management Node, clean up references to the new chassis in the Active Archive System database.
In the command below, replace
MAC_ADDRESS
with the value you wrote in the work table for
MAC Address
of Node
.
Important:
Use capital letters for the MAC address.
q.amplistor.cleanupMachine('
MAC_ADDRESS
')
For example,
In [14]: q.amplistor.cleanupMachine('90:E2:BA:7E:B8:31')
Out[14]: True
This command takes about 10 seconds to complete.
c) Do a sanity check.
Refresh the screen by clicking
Refresh
in the
Commands
pane. Check that the new chassis is no longer in the
FAILED
list.
