3. Recable the system, as needed.
If you removed the transceivers (QSFPs or SFPs), remember to reinstall them if you are using fiber optic
cables.
4. Complete the reinstallation of the controller module:
a. Firmly push the controller module into the chassis until it meets the midplane and is fully seated.
The locking latches rise when the controller module is fully seated.
Do not use excessive force when sliding the controller module into the chassis to avoid
damaging the connectors.
a. Rotate the locking latches upward into the locked position.
5. Plug the power cords into the power supplies.
If you have DC power supplies, reconnect the power block to the power supplies after the
controller module is fully seated in the chassis.
The controller module boots when power is restored. If it boots to the LOADER prompt, reboot the
controller with the
boot_ontap command.
6.
Restore automatic giveback if you disabled it by using the
storage failover modify -node local
-auto-giveback true
command.
7.
If AutoSupport is enabled, restore/unsuppress automatic case creation by using the
system node
autosupport invoke -node * -type all -message MAINT=END
command.
Step 5: Reset the time and date on the controller
After replacing the RTC battery, inserting controller and powering on first BIOS reset, you will
see the following error messages:
RTC date/time error. Reset date/time to
default
RTC power failure error These messages are excpected and you can continue
with this procedure.
1.
Check the date and time on the healthy controller with the
cluster date show command.
If your system stops at the boot menu, select the option for Reboot node and respond y when
prompted, then boot to LOADER by pressing Ctrl-C
a.
At the LOADER prompt on the target controller, check the time and date with the
cluster date show
command.
b.
If necessary, modify the date with the
set date mm/dd/yyyy command.
c.
If necessary, set the time, in GMT, using the
set time hh:mm:ss command.
1. Confirm the date and time on the target controller.
2. At the LOADER prompt, enter bye to reinitialize the PCIe cards and other components and let the
controller reboot.
3. Return the controller to normal operation by giving back its storage: storage failover giveback -ofnode
