This procedure relies on the following prerequisites and assumptions.
■
Except for the failed host adapter, your cluster is operational and all nodes are powered on.
■
Your nodes are not configured with dynamic reconfiguration functionality.
If your nodes are configured for dynamic reconfiguration
and
you are using two entirely separate
hardware paths to your shared data, see the
Sun Cluster Hardware Administration Manual for
Solaris OS
and skip steps that instruct you to shut down the cluster.
You cannot replace a single, dual-port HBA that has quorum configured on that storage path by
using DR. Follow all steps in the procedure. For the details on the risks and limitations of this
configuration, see “Configuring Cluster Nodes With a Single, Dual-Port HBA” in
Sun
Cluster 3.0-3.1 Hardware Administration Manual for Solaris OS
.
Exceptions to this restriction include three-node or larger cluster configurations where no
storage device has a quorum device configured.
Determine the resource groups and device groups that are running on
Node A
.
Record this information because you use this information in
of this procedure to return
resource groups and device groups to
Node A
.
#
scstat
Move all resource groups and device groups off
Node A
.
#
scswitch-S -h
nodename
Shut down
Node A
.
For the full procedure about how to shut down and power off a node, see your Sun Cluster system
administration documentation.
Power off
Node A
.
Replace the failed host adapter.
For the procedure about how to remove and add host adapters, see the documentation that shipped
with your nodes.
Do you need to upgrade the node’s host adapter firmware?
■
If yes, boot
Node A
into noncluster mode. Proceed to
For more information about how to boot nodes, see your Sun Cluster system administration
documentation.
■
If no, proceed to
Upgrade the host adapter firmware on
Node A
.
