5. Complete the reinstallation of the controller module:
a. If you have not already done so, reinstall the cable management device.
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. Interrupt the boot process by pressing
Ctrl-C
when you see
Press Ctrl-C for Boot Menu
.
e. Select the option to boot to Maintenance mode from the displayed menu.
Restore and verify the system configuration - AFF A700 and FAS9000
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
