7. Complete the installation of the controller module:
a. Plug the power cord into the power supply, reinstall the power cable locking collar, and then
connect the power supply to the power source.
b. Firmly push the controller module into the chassis until it meets the midplane and is fully seated.
The locking latches rise when the controller module is fully seated.
Do not use excessive force when sliding the controller module into the chassis to
avoid damaging the connectors.
The controller module begins to boot as soon as it is fully seated in the chassis. Be prepared to
interrupt the boot process.
c. Rotate the locking latches upward, tilting them so that they clear the locking pins, and then lower
them into the locked position.
d. If you have not already done so, reinstall the cable management device.
8. Interrupt the boot process by pressing Ctrl-C to stop at the LOADER prompt.
If you miss this message, press Ctrl-C, select the option to boot to Maintenance mode, and then
halt
the controller to boot to LOADER.
9. If the controller is in a stretch or fabric-attached MetroCluster, you must restore the FC adapter
configuration:
a. Boot to Maintenance mode:
boot_ontap maint
b. Set the MetroCluster ports as initiators:
ucadmin modify -m fc -t
initiator
adapter_name
c. Halt to return to Maintenance mode:
halt
The changes will be implemented when the system is booted.
Boot the recovery image - AFF FAS8300 and FAS8700
The procedure for booting the impaired controller from the recovery image depends on
whether the system is in a two-node MetroCluster configuration.
Option 1: Most systems
You must boot the ONTAP image from the USB drive, restore the file system, and verify
the environmental variables.
This procedure applies to systems that are not in a two-node MetroCluster configuration.
Steps
1. From the LOADER prompt, boot the recovery image from the USB flash drive:
boot_recovery
The image is downloaded from the USB flash drive.
2. When prompted, either enter the name of the image or accept the default image displayed inside the
brackets on your screen.
