b. Rotate the locking latches upward, tilting them so that they clear the locking pins, and then lower them
into the locked position.
c. If you have not already done so, reinstall the cable management device.
5. Return the node to normal operation by giving back its storage:
storage failover giveback
-ofnode
impaired_node_name
6. If automatic giveback was disabled, reenable it:
storage failover modify -node local -auto
-giveback true
Step 5: Return the failed part to NetApp
After you replace the part, you can return the failed part to NetApp, as described in the
RMA instructions shipped with the kit. Contact technical support at
, 888-
463-8277 (North America), 00-800-44-638277 (Europe), or +800-800-80-800
(Asia/Pacific) if you need the RMA number or additional help with the replacement
procedure.
Replace an NVDIMM - AFF A800
You must replace the NVDIMM in the controller module when your system registers that
the flash lifetime is almost at an end or that the identified NVDIMM is not healthy in
general; failure to do so causes a system panic.
All other components in the system must be functioning properly; if not, you must contact technical support.
You must replace the failed component with a replacement FRU component you received from your provider.
Step 1: Shut down the impaired controller
You can shut down or take over the impaired controller using different procedures,
depending on the storage system hardware configuration.
Option 1: Most configurations
To shut down the impaired node, you must determine the status of the node and, if
necessary, take over the node so that the healthy node continues to serve data from the
impaired node storage.
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
.
Steps
1. 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
