Restore and verify the system configuration - AFF A220 and FAS2700
After completing the hardware replacement and booting to Maintenance mode, you verify
the low-level system configuration of the replacement controller and reconfigure system
settings as necessary.
Step 1: Set and verify system time after replacing the controller
You should check the time and date on the replacement controller module against the healthy controller
module in an HA pair, or against a reliable time server in a stand-alone configuration. If the time and date do
not match, you must reset them on the replacement controller module to prevent possible outages on clients
due to time differences.
About this task
It is important that you apply the commands in the steps on the correct systems:
• The
replacement
node is the new node that replaced the impaired node as part of this procedure.
• The
healthy
node is the HA partner of the
replacement
node.
Steps
1. If the
replacement
node is not at the LOADER prompt, halt the system to the LOADER prompt.
2. On the
healthy
node, check the system time:
show date
The date and time are given in GMT.
3. At the LOADER prompt, check the date and time on the
replacement
node:
show date
The date and time are given in GMT.
4. If necessary, set the date in GMT on the replacement node:
set date
mm/dd/yyyy
5. If necessary, set the time in GMT on the replacement node:
set time
hh:mm:ss
6. At the LOADER prompt, confirm the date and time on the
replacement
node:
show date
The date and time are given in GMT.
Step 2: Verify and set the HA state of the controller module
You must verify the
HA
state of the controller module and, if necessary, update the state to match your system
configuration.
1. In Maintenance mode from the new controller module, verify that all components display the same
HA
state:
ha-config show
The HA state should be the same for all components.
2. If the displayed system state for the chassis does not match your system configuration:
a. Set the HA state for the chassis:
ha-config modify chassis
HA-state
The value for HA-state can be one of the following:
