E2700 and E5600 SANtricity Software and Firmware Upgrade Guide
Replacing the E2700 controller
You might need to replace the E2700 controller if it is not functioning optimally or it has failed.
Before you begin
•
You have a replacement controller with the same part number as the controller you are replacing.
•
You have labels to identify each cable that is connected to the controller.
•
You have antistatic protection.
•
You must have specific access permissions. For details, see the instructions for administering
StorageGRID.
•
You must be signed in to the Grid Manager using a supported browser.
About this task
You can determine if you have a failed controller by checking the amber Service Action Required
LED on the controller (shown as 1 in the illustration). If this LED is on, the controller should be
replaced.
The appliance Storage Node will not be accessible when you replace the controller. If the E2700
controller is functioning sufficiently, you can place the E5600SG controller into maintenance mode.
Putting a StorageGRID appliance into maintenance mode might make the appliance unavailable for
remote access.
When you replace a controller, you must remove the battery from the original controller and install it
in the replacement controller.
Steps
1. Prepare to remove the controller.
You use SANtricity Storage Manager to perform these steps.
a. Make a note of which version of SANtricity OS software is currently installed on the
controller.
b. Make a note of which version of NVSRAM is currently installed.
c. If the Drive Security feature is enabled, be sure a saved key exists and that you know the pass
phrase required to install it.
