Before you begin
The licenses keys must be in the 28-character format.
You have a 90-day grace period in which to install the license keys. After the grace period, all old licenses
are invalidated. After a valid license key is installed, you have 24 hours to install all of the keys before the
grace period ends.
Steps
1. If you need new license keys, obtain replacement license keys on the
NetApp Support Site in the My
Support section under Software licenses.
The new license keys that you require are automatically generated and sent to the
email address on file. If you fail to receive the email with the license keys within 30
days, you should contact technical support.
2.
Install each license key:
system license add -license-code license-key, license-
key...
3. Remove the old licenses, if desired:
a.
Check for unused licenses:
license clean-up -unused -simulate
b.
If the list looks correct, remove the unused licenses:
license clean-up -unused
== Step 2: Verify LIFs and registering the serial number
Before returning the replacement node to service, you should verify that the LIFs are on their home ports,
and register the serial number of the replacement node if AutoSupport is enabled, and reset automatic
giveback.
Steps
1.
Verify that the logical interfaces are reporting to their home server and ports:
network interface
show -is-home false
If any LIFs are listed as false, revert them to their home ports: network interface revert
-vserver * -lif *
2. Register the system serial number with NetApp Support.
◦ If AutoSupport is enabled, send an AutoSupport message to register the serial number.
◦ If AutoSupport is not enabled, call
NetApp Support to register the serial number.
3.
If an AutoSupport maintenance window was triggered, end it by using the
system node
autosupport invoke -node * -type all -message MAINT=END
command.
4.
If automatic giveback was disabled, reenable it:
storage failover modify -node local
-auto-giveback true
== Step 3: Switch back aggregates in a two-node MetroCluster configuration
After you have completed the FRU replacement in a two-node MetroCluster configuration, you can
perform the MetroCluster switchback operation. This returns the configuration to its normal operating
state, with the sync-source storage virtual machines (SVMs) on the formerly impaired site now active and
serving data from the local disk pools.
