How to Replace a Host Adapter

Use this procedure to replace a failed host adapter in a running cluster. Node A in this procedure refers to the node with the failed host adapter you are replacing. Node B is a backup node.

  1. Determine the resource groups and device groups that are running on Node A and Node B.

    Record this information because you will use it in Step 8 of this procedure to return resource groups and device groups to these nodes.


    # scstat

  2. Move all resource groups and device groups off Node A.


    # scswitch -S -h nodename

  3. Shut down Node A.


    # shutdown -y -g0 -i0

  4. Power off Node A.
