a. Take the controller to the LOADER prompt.
b. Check the environment variable settings with the pprriinntteennvv command.
c. If an environment variable is not set as expected, modify it with the sseetteennvv environment_
variable_name changed_value command.
d. Save your changes using the ssaavveeeennvv command.
e. Reboot the controller.
Step 11. The next step depends on your system configuration:
If your system is in... Then...
An HA pair After the degraded controller is displaying the
Waiting for Giveback... message, perform a
giveback from the healthy controller:
1. Perform a giveback from the healthy
controller: storage failover giveback
-ofnode partner_node_name
This initiates the process of returning
ownership of the degraded controller's
aggregates and volumes from the healthy
controller back to the degraded controller.
Note: If the giveback is vetoed, you can
consider overriding the vetoes.

2. Monitor the progress of the giveback
operation by using the ssttoorraaggee ffaaiilloovveerr
sshhooww--ggiivveebbaacckk command.
3. After the giveback operation is complete,
confirm that the HA pair is healthy and that
takeover is possible by using the ssttoorraaggee
ffaaiilloovveerr sshhooww command.
4. Restore automatic giveback if you
disabled it by using the ssttoorraaggee ffaaiilloovveerr
mmooddiiffyy command.
Completing the replacement process
After you replace the part, you can return the failed part to Lenovo, as described in the RMA instructions
shipped with the kit. Contact technical support at
Lenovo Support if you need the RMA number or additional
help with the replacement procedure.
Replacing the real-time clock battery
You replace the real-time clock (RTC) battery in the controller module so that your system’s services and
applications that depend on accurate time synchronization continue to function.
• You can use this procedure with all versions of ONTAP supported by your system
• All other components in the system must be functioning properly; if not, you must contact technical
support.
