Convert FAS2820 node1 to a DS212C drive shelf. Connect to node3 before reassigning drives from node1 to node3..

Steps

  1. Disconnect all network cables from node1.

  2. Remove node1 from the FAS2820 chassis.

  3. Insert the IOM12 or IOM12B module into the bay of node1.

  4. Cable the node3 SAS port to an available port on the IOM12 or IOM12B module. See the Hardware Universe to verify the SAS ports for your system. See the Hardware Universe to verify the SAS ports for your system.

  5. Create temporary cluster connections by connecting the node4 cluster ports to any cluster ports on node3.

    Note If node3 only supports 10GbE cluster connections, you must have 10GbE cabling to create temporary cluster connections.
