Shut down a storage node
See the steps here.
Remove the node
You should ensure that you remove the node carefully from the chassis and label all the components. The
steps to physically remove the node are the same for both storage and compute nodes. For a storage node,
remove the drive before you remove the node.
Steps
1. For a storage node, remove the drives from the node in the chassis as follows:
a. Remove the bezel.
b. Label the drives.
c. Open the cam handle, and slide each drive out carefully using both hands.
d. Place the drives on an antistatic, level surface.
2. Remove the node from the chassis as follows:
a. Label the node and cables attached to it.
b. Pull down the cam handle on the right side of each node, and pull the node out using both the cam
handles.
3.
Perform these steps for all the nodes you want to remove.
You are now ready to remove the failed chassis.
Replace the chassis
If your rack does not have additional space, you should uninstall the failed chassis and replace it with the new
chassis.
Steps
1. Put on antistatic protection.
2.
Unpack the replacement chassis, and keep it on a level surface.
Keep the packaging for when you return the failed unit to NetApp.
3. Remove the failed chassis from the rack, and place it on a level surface.
Use sufficient manpower or a lift while moving a chassis.
4. Remove the rails.
5. Install the new rails that were shipped to you with the replacement chassis.
6. Slide the replacement chassis into the rack.
7. Secure the chassis to the rack with the front mounting thumb screws, and tighten the screws with the
screwdriver.
8. Install the nodes into the new chassis as follows:
a.
Reinstall the node into its original slot in the chassis by pushing the node in until you hear a click.
The labels you attached to the node before you removed it help guide you.
