Restore and verify the system configuration - AFF A200
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 system time after replacing the controller
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.
