Replacing A Nim 1060 With A Nim 1200 In A Single/Standalone Server - Hitachi 2000 Series Hardware Reference Manual

• All servers are running code build 4.3.990b, or later. Verify that the server is
running the full package and not a stripped version; otherwise, the code required
for the NIM 1200 is not present.
• SSLoader is installed on the NIM 1200. If there is no SSLoader on the new NIM
1200, you must upload it manually using Xmodem before it is possible to boot the
server. Refer to the Hitachi High-performance NAS Platform System Installation
Guide for instructions on using SSLoader.
• A copy of the ssc.exe program. If ssc.exe will be run from a Windows system,
you must also have the associated mingwm10.dll file. Storing these files and the
software package files together in C:\TEMP is recommended.
• Ensure that the 10 gigabit Ethernet (10 GbE) and 1 gigabit Ethernet (GE)
configurations match (these configurations must be consistent across all nodes of
the cluster). The number of ports in aggregations and the use of link aggregation
control protocol (LACP) should be the same in both the 10 GbE (10 Gbps) and the
GE (1 Gbps) configurations.

Replacing a NIM 1060 with a NIM 1200 in a Single/Standalone Server

To upgrade from a NIM 1060 to a NIM 1200 in a single/standalone server:
Note: Failure to follow this procedure can result in aggregates being left in a
degraded state after the modules have been swapped, causing the server to report
errors.
1. Back up the server configuration (registry).
Using Web Manager, log in to the server/cluster node to be upgraded, and select
Server Admin > Configuration Backup & Restore.
2. Record the IP address through which the SMU is managing the server/cluster. The
IP address is displayed in the Server Status Console with the managed server or
cluster name.
3. Send any diagnostics to your support organization before and after swapping the
modules.
To send diagnostics to support:
a. Log in to Web Manager.
b. From the Home page, select Status & Monitoring > Download
Diagnostics.
c. Click email.
4. Log in to the server using Web Manager, and delete aggregations 3 through 6, if
present.
a. Using SSH, log in as "manager," then select the server from the displayed
menu.
b. Using Web Manager, log in to the server/cluster node to be upgraded, and
select SMU Administration > SSHTerm.
