take over the controller so that the healthy controller continues to serve data from the impaired controller
storage.
• If you have a cluster with more than two nodes, 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
Synchronize a node with the cluster.
• If you have a MetroCluster configuration, you must have confirmed that the MetroCluster
Configuration State is configured and that the nodes are in an enabled and normal state
(
metrocluster node show).
Steps
1. 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
2.
Disable automatic giveback from the console of the healthy controller:
storage failover modify
–node local -auto-giveback false
3. Take the impaired controller to the LOADER prompt:
If the impaired controller is
displaying…
Then…
The LOADER prompt Go to the next step.
Waiting for giveback…
Press Ctrl-C, and then respond y when prompted.
System prompt or password
prompt (enter system password)
Take over or halt the impaired controller from the healthy
controller:
storage failover takeover -ofnode
impaired_node_name
When the impaired controller shows Waiting for giveback…, press
Ctrl-C, and then respond
y.
Step 2: Remove the controller module
You must remove the controller module from the chassis when you replace the controller module or replace a
component inside the controller module.
1. On the front of the chassis, use your thumbs to firmly push each drive in until you feel a positive stop. This
ensures that the drives are firmly seated against the chassis midplane.
