Shutting down the AltaVault controller
An AltaVault controller has field-replaceable units (FRUs) that are not hot-swappable. For a list of AltaVault system
FRUs, see
“Field replaceable units” on page 187
When you are replacing field-replaceable units (FRUs) that are not hot-swappable or when you are replacing the
controller itself, shut down the controller. A clean shutdown of the AltaVault controller ensures that all data has been
written to the storage subsystems. You must also disconnect power from the power supplies before these replacement
procedures.
Important:
You must power off the controller before powering off the shelf.
To shut down a stand-alone AltaVault controller
1.
To shut down the AltaVault controller, enter the following CLI command:
CLI> reload halt
When the shutdown is successful, the box powers off, there are no prompts or output to the console.
2.
If
you
are not already grounded, properly ground
yourself
.
3.
Turn off the power supplies by turning the on/off switch to the OFF (O) position. If the power source for this power
supply has a on/off switch, turn the switch to the OFF (O) position.
4.
Unplug the power cords from the power supplies and the power source:
–
Pinch the tab on the locking mechanism of the cable retainer clip, and open the retainer clip.
–
Slide the retainer clip off the cord.
–
Unplug the power cord from the power supply. Then, unplug the cord from the power source.
–
Repeat Step 4 for the second power supply.
Replacing controllers
These instructions describe how to replace an AltaVault controller in the case of an RMA (Return Merchandise
Authorization).
Caution:
In most cases, replacing an AltaVault controller is performed by NetApp Support. Only experienced technicians should
attempt to replace a controller because of the risk of loosing data.
If you are replacing your AltaVault Controller because of a faulty appliance, NetApp recommends that you preserve
the existing disk cache so that you do not need to download large amounts of data from the cloud, which can be
expensive in terms of time, bandwidth, and costs.
When an AltaVault Controller is replaced by an RMA, you must physically swap the RAID cards between the old
controller and the new one (provided the fault is not related to the RAID card assembly). Since both models are exactly
the same, the total size of the disks remains unchanged. The disks must be installed in order, populating shelf space 1
through 11, they cannot be jumbled.
