Replace H610C and H615C nodes
You should replace a chassis to repair compute node failures related to the CPU, the
motherboard, or if it does not power on. If you have a faulty DIMM in your H610C
compute node that runs NetApp HCI Bootstrap OS version 1.6 or later, you can replace
the DIMM and do not have to replace the chassis. For H615C nodes, you need not
replace the chassis if a DIMM fails; you can replace only the failed DIMM.
For H610C and H615C, the terms "node" and "chassis" are used interchangeably, because
the node and chassis are not separate components.
What you’ll need
• You have verified that the node has failed.
•
You have a replacement chassis.
To order a replacement, you should contact NetApp Support.
• You have an electrostatic discharge (ESD) wristband, or you have taken other antistatic protection.
• You have labeled each cable that is connected to the chassis.
About this task
Alarms in the VMware vSphere Web Client alert you when a host fails. You must match the serial number of
the failed host from the VMware vSphere Web Client with the serial number on the sticker at the back of the
node.
Steps overview
Here is a high-level overview of the steps in this procedure:
Prepare to replace the node
Replace the node
Install the GPU drivers
Add the node to the cluster
Prepare to replace the node
Before you replace the node, you should migrate the virtual machines (VMs) hosted on the node to an
available host, and remove the node from the cluster. You should get details about the node, such as serial
number and networking information.
In the case of component failures where the node is still online and functioning, for example,
a dual inline memory module (DIMM) failure, you should remove the drives from the cluster
before you remove the failed node.
Steps
1. In the VMware vSphere Web Client, perform the steps to migrate the VMs to another available host.
