Replacing Controller Canisters in the E5660 Controller-Drive

Tray to Upgrade Host Interface Cards

To access this product, go to the NetApp® support site at mysupport.netapp.com.

Planning the Host Interface Card Upgrade

Use these procedures to upgrade the host interface in a controller-drive tray by replacing all of the controllers. For

duplex controller-drive trays, you replace both controllers. For simplex controller-drive trays, you replace the one

controller. In both cases, you must power off the controller-drive tray. As a result, you cannot access data on the

storage array until you successfully complete the replacement.

If your storage array participates in remote volume mirroring, only iSCSI or Fibre Channel connections are

supported between the primary site and the remote site. If your new HIC configuration does not include iSCSI or

Fibre Channel connections, remote volume mirroring will not be supported.

If you upgrade to 56 Gb/s InfiniBand, you must perform the steps from the InfiniBand Configuration and Provisioning

for Linux® Express Guide to configure your storage array to use the iSCSI Extensions for RDMA (iSER) protocol.

Make sure that you have access to that document before you start these procedures.

To complete this procedure, you will need antistatic protection and one or two new controller canisters. Depending

on your new host interface, you might need new host bus adapters (HBAs), host channel adapters (HCAs),

switches, cables, Small Form-factor Pluggable (SFP) transceivers, or quad SFP (QSFP) transceivers to re-cable

your host connections. Table 1 summarizes requirements for cabling and SFP transceivers.

Your new controller canisters are shipped without a battery installed. You will remove the battery from each of your

old controllers and then install those batteries in the new controllers.

ATTENTION Possible loss of data access – If any controller that you are replacing manages any secure volumes,

the new controller needs the correct security key to manage those volumes. After you replace the controller and

restore power to the controller-drive tray, you can use SANtricity Storage Manager to load the key from the file in

which it was saved. Be sure that such a file exists and that you know the pass phrase required to install the security

key before you replace the controller.

Cabling Considerations for the E5600 Controller-Drive Trays

Compare your current host cabling to the supported cabling for your new controllers to determine whether you can

reuse SFPs, QSFPs or cables from your old cabling configuration. The HBAs, HCAs, or Ethernet adapters, as well

as switches in the network fabric used to connect your hosts to your storage array must match the HICs in your

controller canisters.

Preparing to Replace the Controllers

1. Make sure that the existing storage array is updated to the latest released controller firmware.

2. If an FDE security key exists on the storage array, save the FDE security key to a location not on the storage

array.

3. Perform the following steps to record the serial number for your storage array:

a. In the EMW tree view, double-click your storage array.

The AMW opens

b. In the Summary tab of the AMW, click the View Storage Array Profile link.

c. Make a record of the value for Chassis Serial Number.

You need this serial number to perform the steps in Powering On the E5600 Storage Array.

4. Gather support data about your storage array by using one of these methods:

Use the storage management software to collect and save a support bundle of your storage array. From the

Array Management Window toolbar, select Monitor > Health > Collect Support Data Manually. Then

name and specify a location on your system where you want to store the support bundle.

Use the command line interface (CLI) to run the save storageArray supportData command to gather

comprehensive support data about the storage array. For more information about this command, refer to the

current version of the Command Line Interface and Script Commands Programming Guide.

NOTE Gathering support data can temporarily impact performance on your storage array.

5. Stop all I/O operations between the storage array and all connected hosts.
