Chassis
Replace the chassis - AFF A700 and FAS9000
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 A700 and FAS9000
Option 1: Shut down the controllers
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:
1
