Reboot the controller, verify system health, and return the failed part to NetApp to complete the final step in the AFX 1K chassis replacement procedure.

Step 1: Boot the controllers and give back the controllers

After the controllers reboot, boot ONTAP and give back the controllers.

Steps

  1. Check the console output:

    1. If the controller stop at the LOADER prompt, boot the controller with the boot_ontap command.

    2. Once the node boots and provides the login prompt, log into the partner controller and check that the replaced controller is ready for giveback with storage failover show command.

  2. Perform the giveback:

    1. Connect the console cable to the partner controller.

    2. Press <enter> when console messages stop.

      • If you see the login prompt, go to the next step.

      • If you do not see login prompt, log into the partner node.

    3. Give back only the root with override-destination-checks option:

      storage failover giveback -ofnode impaired-node -only-root true -override -destination-checks true

      Note The following command is only available in the Diagnostic mode privilege level. For more information on privilege levels, see Understand the privilege levels for ONTAP CLI commands.

      If you encounter errors, contact NetApp Support.

    4. Wait 5 minutes after the giveback report completes, and check failover status and giveback status:

      storage failover show and storage failover show-giveback

      Note The following command is only available in the Diagnostic mode privilege level.

    5. If the HA internconnect links were taken down, bring them back up:

      system ha interconnect link on -node healthy-node -link 0

      system ha interconnect link on -node healthy-node -link 1

    6. Return the impaired controller to normal operation by giving back its storage:

      storage failover giveback -ofnode impaired_node_name

    7. If automatic giveback was disabled, reenable it: storage failover modify -node impaired_node_name -auto-giveback-of true

    8. If AutoSupport is enabled, restore/unsuppress automatic case creation: system node autosupport invoke -node * -type all -message MAINT=END

Step 2: Verify storage system health

After the controller gives back the storage, check the health using Active IQ Config Advisor.

Steps

  1. After the giveback is complete, run Active IQ Config Advisor to verify the health of the storage system.

  2. Correct any issues you encounter.

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.
