The software version on each node in a cluster should be compatible. When you add a node to a cluster, the
cluster installs the cluster version of Element software on the new node as needed.
Steps
1. Select
Cluster
>
Nodes
.
2. Select
Pending
to view the list of pending nodes.
3. Do one of the following:
◦
To add individual nodes, select the
Actions
icon for the node you want to add.
◦
To add multiple nodes, select the check box of the nodes to add, and then
Bulk Actions
.
If the node you are adding has a different version of Element software than the version
running on the cluster, the cluster asynchronously updates the node to the version of
Element software running on the cluster master. After the node is updated, it
automatically adds itself to the cluster. During this asynchronous process, the node will
be in a
pendingActive
state.
4. Select
Add
.
The node appears in the list of active nodes.
5. From the Element UI, select
Cluster

Replace a H610S node
You might need to replace the chassis if the fan, central processing unit (CPU), or dual
inline memory module (DIMM) fails, or to fix overheating issues or problems with the boot
process. The blinking amber LED in the front of the chassis is an indication of a possible
need for chassis replacement. You should contact NetApp Support before you proceed.
See the
for information about installation requirements for H610S nodes. New and
spare H610S storage nodes might have additional installation requirements based on the
existing Element software version of the storage cluster. Contact NetApp Support for more
information.
The terms "node" and "chassis" are used interchangeably in the case of H610S, which is a one
rack unit (1U) chassis.
