• If you have a MetroCluster configuration, you must have confirmed that the MetroCluster Configuration
State is configured and that the nodes are in an enabled and normal state (
metrocluster node show
).
Steps
1. 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
2. Disable automatic giveback from the console of the healthy controller:
storage failover modify
–node local -auto-giveback false
3. Take the impaired controller to the LOADER prompt:
If the impaired controller is
displaying…
Then…
The LOADER prompt
Go to Remove controller module.
Waiting for giveback…
Press Ctrl-C, and then respond
y
when prompted.
System prompt or password
prompt (enter system password)
Take over or halt the impaired controller from the healthy controller:
storage failover takeover -ofnode
impaired_node_name
When the impaired controller shows Waiting for giveback…, press
Ctrl-C, and then respond
y
.
Move and replace hardware - AFF A220 and FAS2700
Move the power supplies, hard drives, and controller module or modules from the
impaired chassis to the new chassis, and swap out the impaired chassis from the
equipment rack or system cabinet with the new chassis of the same model as the
impaired chassis.
Step 1: Move a power supply
Moving out a power supply when replacing a chassis involves turning off, disconnecting, and removing the
power supply from the old chassis and installing and connecting it on the replacement chassis.
1. If you are not already grounded, properly ground yourself.
2. Turn off the power supply and disconnect the power cables:
a. Turn off the power switch on the power supply.
b. Open the power cable retainer, and then unplug the power cable from the power supply.
c. Unplug the power cable from the power source.
3. Squeeze the latch on the power supply cam handle, and then open the cam handle to fully release the
power supply from the mid plane.
