Restoring system defaults and configuring the HBA type on a previously used controller module
If your controller modules have been used previously, you must reset them for a successful MetroCluster configuration.
- At the LOADER prompt, return the environmental variables to their default setting: set-defaults
- Boot the node into Maintenance mode, and then configure the settings for any HBAs in the system:
- Boot into Maintenance mode: boot_ontap maint
- Check the current settings of the ports: ucadmin show
- Update the port settings as needed.
If you have this type of HBA and desired mode... Use this command... CNA FC ucadmin modify -m fc -t initiator adapter_name CNA Ethernet ucadmin modify -mode cna adapter_name FC target fcadmin config -t target adapter_name FC initiator fcadmin config -t initiator adapter_name - Exit Maintenance mode: haltAfter you run the command, wait until the node stops at the LOADER prompt.
- Boot the node back into Maintenance mode to enable the configuration changes to take effect: boot_ontap maint
- Verify the changes you made:
If you have this type of HBA... Use this command... CNA ucadmin show FC fcadmin show - Exit Maintenance mode: haltAfter you run the command, wait until the node stops at the LOADER prompt.
- Boot the node to the boot menu: boot_ontap menu After you run the command, wait until the boot menu is shown.
- Clear the node configuration by typing wipeconfig at the boot menu prompt, and then press Enter.
