Restore and verify the system configuration - AFF A320
After completing the hardware replacement and booting to Maintenance mode, you verify
the low-level system configuration of the replacement controller and reconfigure system
settings as necessary.
Step 1: Set and verify the system time after replacing the controller module
You should check the time and date on the replacement controller module against the healthy controller
module in an HA pair, or against a reliable time server in a stand-alone configuration. If the time and date do
not match, you must reset them on the replacement controller module to prevent possible outages on clients
due to time differences.
About this task
It is important that you apply the commands in the steps on the correct systems:
• The
replacement
node is the new node that replaced the impaired node as part of this procedure.
• The
healthy
node is the HA partner of the
replacement
node
Steps
1. If the
replacement
node is not at the LOADER prompt, halt the system to the LOADER prompt.
2. On the healthy node, check the system time:
show date
The date and time are given in GMT.
3. At the LOADER prompt, check the date and time on the
replacement
node:
show date
The date and time are given in GMT.
4. If necessary, set the date in GMT on the replacement node:
set date
mm/dd/yyyy
5. If necessary, set the time in GMT on the replacement node:
set time
hh:mm:ss
6. At the LOADER prompt, confirm the date and time on the
replacement
node:
show date
