Reboot the controllers, verify system health, and return the failed part to NetApp to complete the final step in the AFF C80 chassis replacement procedure.

Step 1: Boot the controllers and give back the controllers

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

  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 has given back the storage, you should check the overall health with Active IQ Config Advisor.

  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.
