11.2.1 How to Repair a Lost SPARCstorage Array Connection

1. Prepare the Sun Cluster system for component replacement.

   Depending on the cause of the connection loss, prepare the Sun Cluster system with one of the following procedures.

   • If the failed component is an FC/S card or the FC/OM module for an FC/S card, see Chapter 7, Administering Server Components, to prepare the Sun Cluster node for power down.

   • If the problem is a bad fiber optic cable, the volume management software will have detected the problem and prepared the system for cable replacement.

   • If the SPARCstorage Array FC/OM module has failed, use either the procedure "11.4.1 How to Take a SPARCstorage Array Tray Out of Service (Solstice DiskSuite)" or "11.4.2 How to Take a SPARCstorage Array Tray Out of Service (SSVM or CVM)" on each SPARCstorage Array tray to prepare the entire SPARCstorage Array.

2. Replace the failed component.

   If the fiber optic cable, SBus FC/S card, or an FC/OM module fails, refer to the service manual for your Sun Cluster node for detailed instructions on replacing them.

3. Recover from volume management software errors.

   Use the procedures described in "11.1 Recovering From Power Loss".
