Replacing Hardware; Replacing Components With No Cluster Data; Replacing Failed Front Hdd And Ssd Components That Contain Cluster Data - Dell XC730-16G Web-Scale Hyperconverged Appliance Solutions Manual

Replacing hardware

This section describes high-level tasks to replace components correctly within the Dell XC730-16G solution.
Before you begin, for information about downloading the following required documents for the three hardware replacement tasks,
see the Documentation matrix section in the Support Matrix. The documents are:
• Hardware Replacement Documentation
• Dell XC730-16G Web-scale Converged Appliance Owner's Manual
After you have these documents, you are ready to proceed with any of these hardware replacement tasks. To complete these tasks,
you must see both the documents.

Replacing components with no cluster data

The hardware you can replace that involve no cluster data includes:
• System memory
• Cooling fans
• Network Daughter Cards or Network Interface Cards
• PSUs
1. In the Nutanix Hardware Replacement Guide, see the Failure of Components that do not Contain Cluster Data section and turn
off the node for the relevant hypervisor.
2. In the Dell XC730-16G Web-Scale Converged Appliance Owner's Manual, see the Installing and removing system components
section and replace the failed component.
3. See the Nutanix Hardware Replacement Documentation, see the Failure of Components that do not Contain Cluster Data
section, and then restart the node of the relevant hypervisor.
Replacing failed front HDD and SSD components that contain cluster
data
To replace the failed front HDDs and SSDs that contain cluster data, do the following:
1. In the Nutanix Hardware Replacement Documentation, see the Data Drive Failure section and identify the failed HDD or SSD.
2. In the Dell XC730-16G Web-Scale Converged Appliance Owner's Manual, see the Installing and removing system components,
HDDs, Removing a hot-swap hard drive, and Installing a hot-swap HDD sections.
NOTE: New HDDs and SSDs being installed must have any foreign RAID configuration removed before being added
to the system. Otherwise, they will not be recognized by the CVM.
3. See the Nutanix Hardware Replacement Documentation again, see the Completing Data Drive Replacement section and
complete the replacement of the failed HDD or SSD.
