Step 7: Complete the replacement process
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.
Chassis
Overview of chassis replacement - FAS8200
To replace the chassis, you must move the power supplies, fans, and controller modules
from the impaired chassis to the new chassis, and swap out the impaired chassis from
the equipment rack or system cabinet with the new chassis of the same model as the
impaired chassis.
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 written with the assumption that you are moving the controller module or modules to the
new chassis, and that the chassis is a new component from NetApp.
• This procedure is disruptive. For a two-controller cluster, you will have a complete service outage and a
partial outage in a multi-node cluster.
Shut down the controllers - FAS8200
To replace the chassis, you must shutdown the controllers.
Option 1: Most configurations
You must shut down the controller or controller in the chassis prior to moving them to the new chassis.
About this task
• If you have a cluster with more than two controllers, it must be in quorum. If the cluster is not in quorum or
a healthy controller shows
false
for eligibility and health, you must correct the issue before shutting down
the impaired controller; 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.
