Reenabling access and verifying the operation

After the shelf has been replaced, you need to reenable access and verify that the new shelf is operating correctly.

  1. Verify that the shelf powers properly and the links on the IOM modules are present.
  2. Enable the switch ports or SAS port according to the following scenarios:
    OptionStep
    If you previously disabled switch ports
    1. Enable the switch ports:

      portEnable port number

    The example shows the switch port being enabled on a Brocade switch.


    Switch_A_1:admin> portEnable 6
    Switch_A_2:admin> portEnable 6

    The example shows the switch port being enabled on a Cisco switch.


    Switch_A_1# conf t
    Switch_A_1(config)# int fc1/6
    Switch_A_1(config)# no shut
    Switch_A_1(config)# end

    Switch_A_2# conf t
    Switch_A_2(config)# int fc1/6
    Switch_A_2(config)# no shut
    Switch_A_2(config)# end
    If you previously disabled a SAS port
    1. Enable the SAS port connecting the stack to the shelf location:

      SASportEnable port number

    The example shows SAS port A being enabled from the bridge and also verifies that it is enabled.

    Ready. *
    SASPortEnable A

    SAS Port A has been enabled.

    Note
    This is not applicable to ATTO 6500 FibreBridges.
  3. If you previously disabled the switch ports, verify that they are enabled and online and that and all devices are logged in correctly: switchShow

    Example

    The example shows the switchShow command for verifying that a Brocade switch is online.

    Switch_A_1:admin> SwitchShow
    Switch_A_2:admin> SwitchShow

    Example

    The example shows theswitchShow command for verifying that a Cisco switch is online.

    Switch_A_1# show interface fc1/6
    Switch_A_2# show interface fc1/6

    Note
    After several minutes, ONTAP detects that new disks have been inserted and displays a message for each new disk.
  4. Verify that the disks have been detected by ONTAP: sysconfig -a
  5. Online the plexes that were offline earlier: aggr onlineplex_name

    Example

    The example shows the commands for placing plexes on a controller running cMode back online.

    Cluster_A_1::> storage aggregate plex online -aggr aggr1 -plex plex2
    Cluster_A_1::> storage aggregate plex online -aggr aggr2 -plex plex6
    Cluster_A_1::> storage aggregate plex online -aggr aggr3 -plex plex1

    The plexes begin to resynchronize.
    Note
    You can monitor the progress of resynchronization using the aggr status -raggr_name command.
