the diagnostic test.
For HA pairs with two controller modules in the same chassis, the sequence in which you install the controller
module is especially important because it attempts to reboot as soon as you completely seat it in the chassis.
1. Align the end of the controller module with the opening in the chassis, and then gently push the controller
module halfway into the system.
Do not completely insert the controller module in the chassis until instructed to do so.
2. Recable the console to the controller module, and then reconnect the management port.
3. Plug the power cables into the power supplies and reinstall the power cable retainers.
4. Insert the controller module into the chassis:
a. Ensure the latching mechanism arms are locked in the fully extended position.
b. Using both hands, align and gently slide the controller module into the latching mechanism arms until it
stops.
c. Place your index fingers through the finger holes from the inside of the latching mechanism.
d. Press your thumbs down on the orange tabs on top of the latching mechanism and gently push the
controller module over the stop.
e. Release your thumbs from the top of the latching mechanisms and continue pushing until the latching
mechanisms snap into place.
The controller module begins to boot as soon as it is fully seated in the chassis. Be prepared to
interrupt the boot process.
The controller module should be fully inserted and flush with the edges of the chassis.
5. Repeat the preceding steps to install the second controller into the new chassis.
Complete the restoration and replacement process - FAS500f
You must verify the HA state of the chassis, run diagnostics, and return the failed part to
NetApp, as described in the RMA instructions shipped with the kit.
Step 1: Verify and set the HA state of the chassis
You must verify the HA state of the chassis, and, if necessary, update the state to match your system
configuration.
1. In Maintenance mode, from either controller module, display the HA state of the local controller module and
chassis:
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:
