Chapter 4. File module
This topic provides information about troubleshooting the file module, which
includes error codes, problem scenarios, software troubleshooting, and removal
and replacement instructions.
General file module procedures
This section covers file module general maintenance and repair issues.
Rebooting a file module
Use this procedure to initiate a file module reboot.
Before you begin
Events can occur on a file module that require the hardware to be rebooted.
Procedure
1. To shut down and restart a node by using the management GUI, follow these
steps:
a. Click Monitoring > System Details.
b. Click the Interface Nodes tab.
c. In the left pane, select the node to reboot. In the right pane, click Actions >
Restart.
Note: If the file module to be rebooted is the active management node, the
management GUI will also shut down and cause the management GUI to
become unresponsive. After the management services have failed over to
the other file module, a refresh of the management GUI in the browser
reestablishes the connection.
2. To shut down and reboot a node by using the command-line interface (CLI)
command, enter:
stopcluster -node mgmt00Xst001 -restart
where X is the logical ID of the node to reboot.
3. The node reboot restarts all services that were previously running g but does
not resume the node on to the cluster.
resumenode mgmt00Xst001
