To add an X91148A module as a NIC module in a system with open slots, you
must follow the specific sequence of steps.
Procedure
-
Shutdown controller A:
-
Disable automatic giveback: storage failover modify -node
local -auto-giveback false
-
Take over the target node: storage failover takeover -ofnode
target_node_name
The console connection shows that the node drops to the
LOADER prompt when the takeover is complete.
- If you are not already grounded, properly ground yourself.
-
Remove the target slot blanking cover:
-
Depress the lettered and numbered cam button.
-
Rotate the cam latch down until it is in a horizontal position.
-
Remove the blanking cover.
-
Install the X91148A module:
-
Align the X91148A module with the edges of the slot.
-
Slide the X91148A module into the slot until the lettered and numbered
I/O cam latch begins to engage with the I/O cam pin.
-
Push the I/O cam latch all the way up to lock the module in
place.
-
Cable the module to the data switches.
-
Reboot controller A. boot_ontap
-
Giveback the node from the partner node. storage failover giveback
-ofnode target_node_name
-
Enable automatic giveback if it was disabled: storage failover
modify -node local -auto-giveback true
-
If you are using slots 3 and/or 7 for networking, use the storage port modify -node <node name> -port <port name> -mode
network command to convert the slot for networking use.
-
Repeat these steps for controller B.
