Convert FAS2820 node2 to a DS212C drive shelf. Connect to node4 before reassigning drives from node2 to node4. Node1 and node2 are the controllers inside the DS212C shelf.

Steps

  1. Disconnect all the network cables from node2.

  2. Remove node2 from the FAS2820 chassis.

  3. Insert the IOM12 or IOM12B module into the bay of node2.

  4. Cable the node4 serial-attached SCSI (SAS) port to an available port on the IOM12 or IOM12B module. See the Hardware Universe to verify the SAS ports for your system.

  5. Create temporary cluster connections by connecting node1 ports e0a and e0b to any two 25GbE ports on node4.

    Note If node4 only supports 10GbE cluster connections, you must have 10GbE cabling to create temporary cluster connections.
