Adding or Replacing Components That Are Not Hot-Swappable
Use this procedure to add or replace a component that is not hot-swappable. Such components may include CPUs and memory as well as fans and power supplies that are not hot-swappable.
In this procedure, you gracefully shut down a running PM.
To add or replace a component that is not hot-swappable
- Determine which PM (node0 or node1) or if each PM requires the replacement component.
-
In the everRun Availability Console, click Physical Machines in the left-hand navigation panel.
-
Select the appropriate PM (node0 or node1) and then click Work On, which changes the PM’s Overall State to Maintenance Mode and the Activity state to running (in Maintenance).
- After the PM displays running (in Maintenance), click Shutdown and then OK.
- Add or replace the component.
- If you disconnected any network cables, reconnect them. Do not add cables to any new network ports in this step.
- On the PM that is shutdown, press the power button. As the PM powers on, everRun also powers on and begins synchronizing the PM's storage (
appears).
- On the Networks page, click the Fix button, if it is highlighted, which may occur when network cables have been moved on the upgraded PM.
- Select the repaired PM on the Physical Machines page. Click Finalize and then click OK.
-
When synchronization is complete (
disappears), perform steps 3 through 9 for the other PM, if necessary.
Note: To avoid data loss, do not power down the primary PM while the disks are synchronizing.
