Step 8: Complete the replacement process
Return the failed part to NetApp, as described in the RMA instructions shipped with the
kit. See the
page for further information.
Chassis
Overview of chassis replacement - FAS8300 and FAS8700
All other components in the system must be functioning properly; if not, you must contact
technical support.
• You can use this procedure with all versions of ONTAP supported by your system.
• This procedure is disruptive. For a two-controller cluster, you will have a complete service outage and a
partial outage in a multi-node cluster.
Shut down the controllers - FAS8300 and FAS8700
Option 1: Most configurations
You must shut down the controller or controller in the chassis prior to moving them to the
new chassis.
About this task
• If you have a cluster with more than two controllers, it must be in quorum. If the cluster is not in quorum or
a healthy controller shows
false
for eligibility and health, you must correct the issue before shutting down
the impaired controller; see the
Administration overview with the CLI
.
• If AutoSupport is enabled, suppress automatic case creation by invoking an AutoSupport message:
system node autosupport invoke -node * -type all -message
MAINT=number_of_hours_downh
The following AutoSupport message suppresses automatic case creation for two hours:
cluster1:*>
system node autosupport invoke -node * -type all -message MAINT=2h
Steps
1. If your system has two controller modules, disable the HA pair.
If your system is running
clustered ONTAP with…
Then…
Two controllers in the cluster
cluster ha modify -configured false
storage failover
modify -node node0 -enabled false
More than two controllers in the
cluster
storage failover modify -node node0 -enabled false
2. Halt the controller, pressing
y
when you are prompted to confirm the halt:
system node halt -node
node_name
The confirmation message looks like the following:
