Review requirements before replacing your AFF A200 chassis

Contributors netapp-jsnyder thrisun netapp-martyh

Before replacing the chassis in your AFF A200 system, review the requirements for a successful replacement. The chassis replacement procedure moves all power supplies, drives, and controller modules from the impaired chassis to the replacement chassis and is disruptive.

Before you begin

All other components in the system must be functioning properly; if not, contact technical support.

About this task
  • You can use this procedure with all versions of ONTAP supported by your system.

  • This procedure is written with the assumption that you are moving all drives and controller module or modules to the new chassis, and that the chassis is a new component from NetApp.

  • This procedure is disruptive. For a two-node cluster, you will have a complete service outage and a partial outage in a multi-node cluster.
