Hitachi NAS Platform 4040 - Specific Replacement Scenarios

Manually installing an embedded SMU (if necessary)
HNAS 3080/3090 spare or replacement units are shipped without the embedded SMU
installed.
Before you begin
The SMU software will need to be manually installed in the following case:
■
If the HNAS (all versions) is a spare/replacement and the eld installer requires the
embedded SMU to congure the replacement prior to adding to a cluster (or
r
eplacing a single node that has no e
xternal SMU). However, once added to the
cluster, the embedded SMU should be uninstalled (smu-uninstall from the CLI of
the newly added node). Note, when added to a cluster, the external SMU will disable
the embedded SMU on the replacement node, but it is recommended to fully
uninstall the embedded SMU.
Procedure
1. Obtain a copy of the SMUsetup .iso le and copy the le into /tmp
scp /tmp/SMUsetup.iso
2. As 'r
oot' on the node:
cd /tmp
mo
unt –o loop SMUsetup.iso /mnt/cdrom
/mnt/cdrom/autorun
Note: SMU iso images can be downloaded fr
om Support Connect.
Replacing a single server with an embedded SMU
If a single server with an embedded SMU is non-functioning, and does not have a recent
backup saved o
platform, then a challenging and manual recovery process is necessary.
If this circumstance is encounter
ed, call the support organization for a copy of the
system's latest diagnostics les. If available, these les can be used as a guide in
reestablishing the system manually. The data and le systems will remain intact
independent of the replacement and without a backup.
Note: Replacement servers are shipped without an embedded system
management unit (SMU), so you must have a SMU installed befor
e you can
connect to a standalone server.
Important: Set expectations up fr
ont with the customer that this will delay
time to recovery, and that some aspects of the systems conguration might
never be recovered.
