Sun Cluster 3.0-3.1 With Sun StorEdge T3 or T3+ Array Manual for Solaris OS

ProcedureHow to Replace a Chassis

Use this procedure to replace a storage array chassis. This procedure assumes that you are retaining all FRUs other than the chassis and the midplane. To replace the chassis, you must replace both the chassis and the midplane because these components are manufactured as one part.


Caution – Caution –

You must be a Sun service provider to perform this procedure. If you need to replace a chassis, contact your Sun service provider.


Steps
  1. Detach the submirrors on the storage array. This array is connected to the chassis that you are replacing. Detach the submirrors to stop all I/O activity to this storage array.

    For more information, see your Solstice DiskSuite/Solaris Volume Manager or VERITAS Volume Manager documentation.

  2. Replace the chassis and the midplane.

    For the procedure about how to replace a storage array chassis, see the Sun StorEdge T3 and T3+ Array Field Service Manual.

  3. Reattach the submirrors to resynchronize the submirrors.


    Caution – Caution –

    The world wide names (WWNs) change as a result of this procedure. You must reconfigure your volume manager software to recognize the new WWNs.
