Transfer the ownership of storage resources back to the replacement controller.

Steps

  1. If your storage system has Encryption configured, you must restore Storage or Volume Encryption functionality using the following procedure to reboot the system:

    1. Boot to Menu and run Option 10

    2. Input the passphrase & backup up data, then do Normal boot see Restore onboard key management encryption keys.

    3. Perform CFO only giveback

    4. Perform Onboard Sync and verify SVM-KEK is set to true see Giveback after MB replacement fails - operation was vetoed by keymanager

    5. Giveback SFO, (no force)

  2. If your system does not have Encryption configured, complete the following procedure to reboot the system:

    1. Boot to Menu and run Option 1.

    2. Give back the controller:

    3. From the healthy controller, give back the replaced controller's storage: storage failover giveback -ofnode replacement_node_name

      The replacement controller takes back its storage and completes booting.

      Note If the giveback is vetoed, you can consider overriding the vetoes.

      Find the High-Availability Configuration content for your version of ONTAP 9

    4. After the giveback has been completed, confirm that the HA pair is healthy and that takeover is possible: storage failover show

  3. Verify that the expected volumes are present for each controller: vol show -node node-name

  4. If you disabled automatic takeover on reboot, enable it from the healthy controller: storage failover modify -node replacement-node-name -onreboot true

  5. If AutoSupport is enabled, restore/unsuppress automatic case creation by using the system node autosupport invoke -node * -type all -message MAINT=END command.
