f. At the LOADER prompt, enter
bye
to reinitialize the PCIe cards and other components.
g. Interrupt the boot process and boot to the LOADER prompt by pressing
Ctrl-C
.
If your system stops at the boot menu, select the option to boot to LOADER.
Restore and verify the system configuration - FAS8300 and FAS8700
After completing the hardware replacement and booting to Maintenance mode, you verify
the low-level system configuration of the replacement controller and reconfigure system
settings as necessary.
Step 1: Set and verify system time after replacing the controller
You should check the time and date on the replacement controller module against the
healthy controller module in an HA pair, or against a reliable time server in a stand-alone
configuration. If the time and date do not match, you must reset them on the replacement
controller module to prevent possible outages on clients due to time differences.
About this task
It is important that you apply the commands in the steps on the correct systems:
• The
replacement
node is the new node that replaced the impaired node as part of this procedure.
• The
healthy
node is the HA partner of the
replacement
node
Steps
1. If the
replacement
node is not at the LOADER prompt, halt the system to the LOADER prompt.
2. On the healthy node, check the system time:
show date
The date and time are given in GMT.
3. At the LOADER prompt, check the date and time on the
replacement
node:
show date
The date and time are given in GMT.
4. If necessary, set the date in GMT on the replacement node:
set date
mm/dd/yyyy
5. If necessary, set the time in GMT on the replacement node:
set time
hh:mm:ss
6. At the LOADER prompt, confirm the date and time on the
replacement
node:
show date
The date and time are given in GMT.
Step 2: Verify and set the HA state of the controller module
You must verify the
HA
state of the controller module and, if necessary, update the state
to match your system configuration.
1. In Maintenance mode from the new controller module, verify that all components display the same
HA
state:
ha-config show
