You must complete
a series of tasks before restoring your system to full operation.
Recabling the system
After running diagnostics, you must recable the controller module's storage and network connections.
Installing licenses for the replacement node in ONTAP You must install new licenses for the replacement node if the impaired node was using ONTAP features that require a standard (node-locked) license. For features with standard licenses, each node in the cluster should have its own key for the feature.
Restoring Storage and Volume Encryption functionality
After replacing the controller module or NVRAM module for a storage system that you previously configured to use Storage or Volume Encryption, you must perform additional steps to provide uninterrupted Encryption functionality. You can skip this task on storage systems that do not have Storage or Volume Encryption enabled.
Verifying LIFs and registering the serial number
Before returning the replacement node to service, you should verify that the LIFs are on their home ports, and register the serial number of the replacement node if AutoSupport is enabled, and reset automatic giveback.
