System maintenance AVA-400, AVA-800 Replacing a boot device in a controller
Replacing the boot device involves keeping track of current system image, shutting down the system cleanly, removing
the old boot media from the controller, installing the new boot device, copy system files to the new boot device, and
rebooting the system.
Note: Re-installing the OS is not a supported procedure in this release. An Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA) is
required for replacing a boot device in a controller. Contact technical support to help you determine if you need to replace this field-
replaceable unit (FRU) and to assist you during the replacement procedure.

Before you begin, note the details about the image installed on your system before you do a clean shutdown of the
system for replacing the boot device. The same system image should be installed after boot device replacement.
Note: You must connect to the console port of the AltaVault controller to carry out the tasks in this procedure.
