Sun Cluster 3.1 - 3.2 With Sun StorEdge 3510 or 3511 FC RAID Array Manual for Solaris OS

ProcedureHow to Replace a Chassis in a Running Cluster

Use this procedure to replace a storage array chassis in a running cluster. This procedure assumes that you want to retain all FRUs other than the chassis and the backplane.

  1. To stop all I/O activity to this storage array, detach the submirrors that are connected to the chassis you are replacing.

    For more information, see your Solstice DiskSuite or Veritas Volume Manager documentation.

  2. If this storage array is not made redundant by host-based mirroring, shut down the cluster.

    For the full procedure on shutting down a cluster, see the Sun Cluster system administration documentation.

  3. Replace the chassis and backplane.

    For the procedure on replacing a chassis, see the Sun StorEdge 3000 Family Installation, Operation, and Service Manual.

  4. If you shut down the cluster in Step 2, boot it back into cluster mode.

    For the full procedure on booting a cluster, see Chapter 3, Shutting Down and Booting a Cluster, in Sun Cluster System Administration Guide for Solaris OS.

  5. Reattach the submirrors that you detached in Step 1 to resynchronize them.

    Caution – Caution –

    The world wide numbers (WWNs) might change as a result of this procedure. If the WWNs change, and you must reconfigure your volume manager software to recognize the new WWNs.

    For more information, see your Solstice DiskSuite or Veritas Volume Manager documentation.
