During Stage 6, you confirm that the new nodes are set up correctly and, if the new nodes are encryption-enabled, you configure and set up Storage Encryption or NetApp Volume Encryption. You should also decommission the old nodes and resume the SnapMirror operations.

Steps

  1. Manage authentication using KMIP servers

  2. Confirm that the new controllers are set up correctly

  3. Set up Storage Encryption on the new controller module

  4. Set up NetApp Volume or Aggregate Encryption on the new controller module

  5. Decommission the old system

  6. Resume SnapMirror operations

Note

The AFF A70, AFF A90, AFF A1K, FAS70, and FAS90 systems share 100GbE network ports for both cluster and HA connections. These systems can support 10GbE or 25GbE cluster connections to legacy cluster switches; however, NetApp recommends updating to 100GbE cluster speeds when the 10GbE and 25GbE switches are no longer required. For more information, see the following Knowledge Base articles:

If you cannot link up e0a or e0b cluster ports on the existing node to the cluster ports on the new node, see NetApp Bugs Online Bug ID CONTAP-166978.
