2.
Locate the MAC address and FRU part number labels on the back of the controller canister.
(1) MAC address: The MAC address for management port 1 (“P1”). If you used DHCP to obtain
the original controller’s IP address, you need this address to connect to the new controller.
(2) FRU part number: This number must match the replacement part number for the currently
installed controller.
3.
From ThinkSystem System Manager, locate the replacement part number for the controller
canister you are replacing.
When a controller has a fault and needs to be replaced, the replacement part number is
displayed in the Details area of the Recovery Guru. If you need to find this number manually,
follow these steps:
a.
Select Hardware.
b.
Locate the controller shelf, which is marked with the controller icon
.
c.
Click the controller icon.
d.
Select the controller, and click Next.
e.
On the Base tab, make a note of the Replacement Part Number for the controller.
4.
Confirm that the replacement part number for the failed controller is the same as the FRU part
number for the replacement controller.
Possible loss of data access — If the two part numbers are not the same,
do not attempt this procedure. In addition, if the failed controller canister
includes a host interface card (HIC), you must install that HIC into the new
controller canister. The presence of mismatched controllers or HICs causes
the new controller to lock down when you bring it online.
