Run diagnostics
After you have replaced a component in your system, you should run diagnostic tests on
that component.
Your system must be at the LOADER prompt to start diagnostics.
All commands in the diagnostic procedures are issued from the controller where the component is being
replaced.
Steps
1.
If the controller to be serviced is not at the LOADER prompt, reboot the controller:
system node halt
-node node_name
After you issue the command, you should wait until the system stops at the LOADER prompt.
2. At the LOADER prompt, access the special drivers specifically designed for system-level diagnostics to
function properly:
boot_diags
3. Select Scan System from the displayed menu to enable running the diagnostics tests.
4. Select Test Memory from the displayed menu.
5. Proceed based on the result of the preceding step:
◦ If the test failed, correct the failure, and then rerun the test.
◦ If the test reported no failures, select Reboot from the menu to reboot the system.

Replace SSD Drive or HDD Drive - AFF A700s
You can replace a failed drive nondisruptively while I/O is in progress. The procedure for
replacing an SSD is meant for non-spinning drives and the procedure for replacing an
HDD is meant for spinning drives.
When a drive fails, the platform logs a warning message to the system console indicating which drive has
failed. In addition, both the fault LED on the operator display panel and the fault LED on the failed drive are
illuminated.
Before you begin
• Follow best practice and install the current version of the Disk Qualification Package (DQP) before
replacing a drive.
