Checking Whether Each Pair Has Dual Controllers

Prerequisites

  • A replacement component is ready.
  • The controller that you want to replace has been located.
    NOTE:
    You can locate components in either of the following ways:
    • On the device view of the management software, view and record the location of the component that you want to replace. For components that have location indicators, turn on the location indicators (for details, see the online help of the management software).
    • Locate the faulty component based on the alarm indicator.
  • The cable connection positions of the controller that you want to replace are labeled on the cables.

Precautions

  • Remove and insert an interface module with even force. Excessive force may damage the appearance or connectors of the interface module.
  • Remove one controller each time to avoid service interruption.
  • If two controllers are faulty, contact Huawei technical support engineers.
  • You are advised to replace a controller module within the shortest time possible.
  • On each controller and data switch in the system (S2600T has no data switch), the ibc_os_hs account must use the default password.
  • After a user manually replaces the public/private key pair of ibc_os_hs, the public/private key pairs of all other functional controllers must be initialized before controller replacement.

    To initialize the public/private key pairs, log in to the serial port of the controller enclosure as user _super_admin (the default password is Admin@revive) and run the initibckey command.

Procedure

  1. Replace the controller.

    For details about how to replace a controller, see OceanStor 5300 V3&5500 V3&5600 V3&5800 V3&6800 V3&6900 V3 Storage SystemV300R001 Parts Replacement or OceanStor 5300 V3&5500 V3&5600 V3&5800 V3&6800 V3 Storage System V300R002 Parts Replacement:

    Then log in to the DeviceManager to check whether the alarm is cleared.

    • If yes=>no further action is required.
    • If no=>2.

  2. Collect related information and contact technical support engineers.
