tab, make a note of the
Replacement Part Number
for the controller.
Step 4. Confirm that the replacement part number for the failed controller is the same as the FRU part
number for the replacement controller.
Attention: Possible loss of data access –
If the two part numbers are not the same, do not
attempt this procedure. In addition, if the failed controller canister includes a host interface card
(HIC), you must install that HIC into the new controller canister. The presence of mismatched
controllers or HICs will cause the new controller to lock down when you bring it online.
Step 5. Back up the storage array's configuration database.
If a problem occurs when you remove a controller, you can use the saved file to restore your
configuration.
a. Open the Enterprise Management Window (EMW) for ThinkSystem Storage Manager on your
management station.
b. Select the storage array.
c. Select
Tools
➙
Execute Script
.
d. Type the following command in the text box.
save storageArray dbmDatabase sourceLocation=onboard contentType=all file="
filename
";
In this command,
filename
is the file path and file name to which you want to save the
database. Enclose the file name in double quotation marks (" "). For example:
file="C:\Program Files\CLI\logs\dbmdata.zip"
This command does not automatically append a file extension to the saved file. You must
specify a file extension when entering the file name.
e. Select
Tools
➙
Verify and Execute
.
Note:
If you have an untrusted certificate, you may need to accept the Security Exception.
