3. Select Scan System from the displayed menu to enable running the diagnostics tests.
4. Select Test system from the displayed menu to run diagnostics tests.
5. Select the test or series of tests from the various sub-menus.
6. 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 2: 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

Controller module
Replace the controller module - AFF A320
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.
• The healthy node must be able to take over the node that is being replaced (referred to in this procedure
as the “impaired node”).
• 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.
If this is the procedure you should use, note that the controller replacement procedure for a node in a four
or eight node MetroCluster configuration is the same as that in an HA pair. No MetroCluster-specific steps
are required because the failure is restricted to an HA pair and storage failover commands can be used to
provide nondisruptive operation during the replacement.
• 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.
• You must always capture the node’s console output to a text file.
