*This is for older FAS systems that had FC shelves, the information is
useful if you’ve taken the system down for re-cabling etc.
After cabling the nodes and
storage together, connect the storage systems to the network.
1. Power on disk shelves:
- Wait at least 5 minutes for
the electronics to complete initialization!
Note 1: DS14 shelves take as short as 30 seconds
Note 2: SAS shelves with SATA drives can take 3 minutes or more
2. Turn on both power supplies
to one node. At “Press Del to abort boot, ESC to skip Post” hit the <DEL>
key to abort the boot. Repeat for the other node so that both are at the
command prompt.
3. At CFE> or LOADER-A>
run boot_diags
At OK> run sys-diag
Note: You can run diagnostics only when one partner is down or halted
or the interconnect cables are disconnected.
4. Select the diagnostics tests
that check all dual-port FC-AL adapters and the cluster interconnect.
5. After diagnostics are
complete, use the exit command at the diags prompt to exit.
6. Interrupt the reboot by
pressing Ctrl-C to access the menu and then select Maintenance Mode (option 5).
i. Use the command fcadmin
config to check the FC port settings.
ii. Use one or both commands, fcadmin
device_map or sasadmin shelf, to verify that all shelves are visible to both
controllers.
iii. Use the disk
show -a command to show all current disk assignments.
iv. Use the storage
show disk -p command to verify that the MPHA cabling is correct.
v. Use the aggr
status command to ensure that the system has a root
aggregate.
7. Exit maintenance mode and
boot the Data ONTAP operating system by typing boot at
the OK> prompt, or from the CFE> prompt, boot_primary, or boot_ontap.
8. When the system boots, you
are placed in setup
