If the
Key Manager type
=
onboard
and the
Restored
column = anything other than
yes/true
,
use the
security key-manager onboard sync
command to re-sync the Key Manager type.
Use the
security key-manager key-query
command to verify that the
Restored
column =
yes/true
for all authentication keys.
11. Connect the console cable to the partner node.
12. Give back the node using the
storage failover giveback -fromnode local
command.
13. Restore automatic giveback if you disabled it by using the
storage failover modify -node local
-auto-giveback true
command.
Return the failed part to NetApp - FAS9500
Return the failed part to NetApp, as described in the RMA instructions shipped with the kit. See the
Hot-swap a caching module - FAS9500
The NVMe SSD FlashCache modules (FlashCache or caching modules) are located in
the front of the NVRAM11 module in Slot 6 of FAS9500 systems. You can hot-swap the
caching module of the same capacity from the same or different supported vendor.
If you need to or want to cold-swap the FlashCache module, follow the procedures for replacing
an I/O module.
Before you begin
Your storage system must meet certain criteria depending on your situation:
• It must have the appropriate operating system for the caching module you are installing.
• The caching module must be functioning well enough to be seen by the system. If the caching module is
not functioning since the last boot, you cannot use this procedure and must use the cold-swap procedure.
• It must support the caching capacity.
• The replacement caching module must have the same capacity as the failed caching module, but can be
from a different supported vendor.
• All other components in the storage system must be functioning properly; if not, you must contact technical
support.
Steps
1. If you are not already grounded, properly ground yourself.
2. Locate the failed caching module, in slot 6, by the lit amber Attention LED on the front of the caching
module.
3. Prepare the caching module slot for replacement as follows:
a. Record the caching module capacity, part number, and serial number on the target node:
system
node run local sysconfig -av 6
b. In admin privilege level, prepare the target NVMe slot for removal, responding

when prompted
whether to continue:
system controller slot module remove -node node_name -slot
