Chassis
Replace the chassis - AFF A400
To replace the chassis, you must move the fans and controller modules from the impaired
chassis to the new chassis of the same model as the impaired chassis.
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-node cluster, you will have a complete service outage and a partial
outage in a multi-node cluster.
Shut down the controllers - AFF A400
Option 1: Shut down the controllers when replacing a chassis
You must shut down the node or nodes in the chassis prior to moving them to the new
chassis.
About this task
• If you have a cluster with more than two nodes, it must be in quorum. If the cluster is not in quorum or a
healthy node shows
false
for eligibility and health, you must correct the issue before shutting down the
impaired node; 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 nodes in the cluster
cluster ha modify -configured false
storage failover
modify -node node0 -enabled false
More than two nodes in the
cluster
storage failover modify -node node0 -enabled false
2. Halt the node, pressing
y
when you are prompted to confirm the halt:
system node halt -node
node_name
The confirmation message looks like the following:
34
