handle to the closed position.
The node begins to boot as soon as it is completely installed into the chassis.
5. Interrupt the boot process to stop at the LOADER prompt by pressing Ctrl-C when you see Starting
AUTOBOOT press Ctrl-C to abort….
If you miss this message, press Ctrl-C, select the option to boot to Maintenance mode, and then halt the
node to boot to LOADER.
6. Set your network connection type at the LOADER prompt:
◦
If you are configuring DHCP:
ifconfig e0a -auto
The target port you configure is the target port you use to communicate with the
impaired node from the healthy node during
var
file system restore with a network
connection. You can also use the e0M port in this command.
◦
If you are configuring manual connections:
ifconfig e0a -addr=filer_addr -mask=netmask
-gw=gateway-dns=dns_addr-domain=dns_domain
▪
filer_addr is the IP address of the storage system.
▪
netmask is the network mask of the management network that is connected to the HA partner.
▪
gateway is the gateway for the network.
▪
dns_addr is the IP address of a name server on your network.
▪
dns_domain is the Domain Name System (DNS) domain name.
If you use this optional parameter, you do not need a fully qualified domain name in the netboot
server URL. You need only the server’s host name.
Other parameters might be necessary for your interface. You can enter
help ifconfig
at
the firmware prompt for details.
7. 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 A700 and FAS9000
The procedure for booting the impaired node from the recovery image depends on
whether the system is in a two-node MetroCluster configuration.
Option 1 Boot the recovery image in most systems
You must boot the ONTAP image from the USB drive, restore the file system, and verify
