File System Reinstall
option from the boot menu.
The reinstall process takes around 20–40 minutes to complete depending
on the configuration.
Attaching the PowerVault NX3500 Controller
Before completing this procedure, verify that the controller being attached is
in standby mode and powered up.
To attach the new controller to the cluster:
1
Plug-in a USB disk-on-key to the peer controller, and create a configuration
for the new controller by logging in to the CLI on the management IP
address and running the following command:
system maintenance controllers save-conf
<controllerID>
This command saves the system configuration on the USB disk-on-key.
2
Transfer the disk-on-key to the new controller, and let it run until the
message "ready to be attached/clusterized" (after it configures the network)
is displayed.
The process begins automatically.
NOTE: Do not remove the USB key until the reconfiguration has occurred.
3
Log in to the CLI on the management IP address and run the
following command:
system maintenance controllers attach start
<controllerID>
4
If you get disconnected, to view the progress, log in to the CLI again and
execute the following command:
system maintenance controllers attach status
This process takes some time to complete.
