Reboot the controllers, verify system health, and return the failed part to NetApp to complete the final step in the AFF A70 and AFF A90 chassis replacement procedure.

Step 1: Boot the controllers and perform giveback

Boot ONTAP on the controllers and perform controller giveback to return storage ownership.

Steps

  1. Check the console output:

    1. If the controller boots to the LOADER prompt, reboot the controller with the boot_ontap command.

    2. If the console displays waiting for giveback after the reboot, log into the partner controller and check that the replaced controller is ready for giveback with the storage failover show command.

  2. Perform the giveback:

    1. Connect the console cable to the partner controller.

    2. Give back the controller with the storage failover giveback -fromnode local command.

Step 2: Verify storage system health

After the controller giveback completes, verify system health using Active IQ Config Advisor. Address any issues found.

Step 3: Return the failed part to NetApp

Return the failed part to NetApp, as described in the RMA instructions shipped with the kit. See the Part Return and Replacements page for further information.
