NetApp ASA C Series System Documentation

Your system must be at the LOADER prompt to start diagnostics.
All commands in the diagnostic procedures are issued from the node where the component is being replaced.
1.
If the node to be serviced is not at the LOADER prompt, reboot the node:
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 System 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.
Step 3: Return the failed part to NetApp
After you replace the part, you can return the failed part to NetApp, as described in the
RMA instructions shipped with the kit. Contact technical support at
NetApp Support, 888-
463-8277 (North America), 00-800-44-638277 (Europe), or +800-800-80-800
(Asia/Pacific) if you need the RMA number or additional help with the replacement
procedure.
Controller
Replace the controller module - AFF A250
You must review the prerequisites for the replacement procedure and select the correct
one for your version of the ONTAP operating system.
• All drive shelves must be working properly.
• If your system is in a MetroCluster configuration, you must review the section
Choosing the correct
recovery procedure
to determine whether you should use this procedure.
• You must replace the failed component with a replacement FRU component you received from your
provider.
• You must be replacing a controller module with a controller module of the same model type. You cannot
upgrade your system by just replacing the controller module.
• You cannot change any drives or drive shelves as part of this procedure.
• In this procedure, the boot device is moved from the impaired node to the replacement node so that the
replacement node will boot up in the same version of ONTAP as the old controller module.
• It is important that you apply the commands in these steps on the correct systems:
◦ The impaired node is the node that is being replaced.
◦ The replacement node is the new node that is replacing the impaired node.
◦ The healthy node is the surviving node.
