NetApp AFF A200 - Chassis Replacement Procedures; Chassis Replacement Overview; Shut Down Controllers for Chassis Replacement

Chassis
Overview of chassis replacement - AFF A200
To replace the chassis, move the power supplies, hard drives, and controller module or
modules from the impaired chassis to the new chassis, and swap out the impaired
chassis from the equipment rack or system cabinet with the new chassis of the same
model as the impaired chassis.
What you’ll need
All other components in the system must be functioning properly; if not, contact technical support.
About this task
• You can use this procedure with all versions of ONTAP supported by your system.
• This procedure is written with the assumption that you are moving all drives and controller module or
modules to the new chassis, and that the chassis is a new component from NetApp.
• This procedure is disruptive. For a two-node cluster, you will have a complete service outage and a partial
outage in a multi-node cluster.
Shut down the controllers - AFF A200
You must shut down the controller or controller in the chassis prior to moving them to the
new chassis.
About this task
• If you have a cluster with more than two controllers, it must be in quorum. If the cluster is not in quorum or
a healthy controller shows
false for eligibility and health, you must correct the issue before shutting down
the impaired controller; see the
Administration overview with the CLI.
• If AutoSupport is enabled, suppress automatic case creation by invoking an AutoSupport message:
system node autosupport invoke -node * -type all -message
MAINT=number_of_hours_downh
The following AutoSupport message suppresses automatic case creation for two hours: cluster1:*>
system node autosupport invoke -node * -type all -message MAINT=2h
Steps
1. If your system has two controller modules, disable the HA pair.
If your system is running
clustered ONTAP with…
Then…
Two controllers in the cluster
cluster ha modify -configured false storage failover
modify -node node0 -enabled false
More than two controllers in the
cluster
storage failover modify -node node0 -enabled false
2.
Halt the controller, pressing
y when you are prompted to confirm the halt: system node halt -node
