About this task
The replacement procedure applies to H410S storage nodes in a two rack unit (2U), four-node NetApp HCI
chassis.
Here is the rear view of a four-node chassis with H410S nodes:
Here is the front view of a four-node chassis with H410S nodes, showing the bays that correspond to each
node:
Steps overview
Here is a high-level overview of the steps in this procedure:
Prepare to replace the storage node
Replace the storage node in the chassis
Add the storage node to the cluster
Prepare to replace the storage node
You should remove the faulty storage node correctly from the cluster before you install the replacement node.
You can do this without causing any service interruption. You should obtain the serial number of the failed
storage node from the Element UI and match it with the serial number on the sticker at the back of the node.
In the case of component failures where the node is still online and functioning, for example,
a dual inline memory module (DIMM) failure, you should remove the drives from the cluster
before you remove the failed node.
Steps
1. If you have a DIMM failure, remove the drives associated with the node you are going to replace from the
cluster. You can use either the NetApp Element software UI or the NetApp Element Management extension
point in Element plug-in for vCenter server before you remove the node.
2. Remove the nodes using either the NetApp Element software UI or the NetApp Element Management
extension point in Element plug-in for vCenter server:
