Before using a new controller module in the MetroCluster configuration, you must clear the existing configuration.

Steps

  1. If necessary, halt the node to display the LOADER prompt:

    halt

  2. At the LOADER prompt, set the environmental variables to default values:

    set-defaults

  3. Save the environment:

    saveenv

  4. At the LOADER prompt, launch the boot menu:

    boot_ontap menu

  5. At the boot menu prompt, clear the configuration:

    wipeconfig

    Respond yes to the confirmation prompt.

    The node reboots and the boot menu is displayed again.

  6. At the boot menu, select option 5 to boot the system into Maintenance mode.

    Respond yes to the confirmation prompt.
