Migrating data from a SteelStore appliance to an AltaVault

appliance

For information on migrating data from an older physical appliance to the latest AltaVault appliance, see NetApp

AltaVault Cloud Integrated Storage User's Guide, Chapter 11 Migrating data from a SteelStore appliance to an

AltaVault appliance.

Note: There is no support for directly migrating or upgrading from 3.x to 4.1 appliances. You must first migrate to 4.0,4.0.0.1,or

4.0.1 and then upgrade to 4.1. This applies to both physical and virtual appliances.

Shutting down controllers

An AltaVault controller has field-replaceable units (FRUs) that are not hot-swappable. For a list of AltaVault system

FRUs, see

"Field replaceable units" on page

When you are replacing field-replaceable units (FRUs) that are not hot-swappable or when you are replacing the

controller itself, shut down the controller. A clean shutdown of the AltaVault controller ensures that all data has been

written to the storage subsystems. You must also disconnect power from the power supplies before these replacement

procedures.

To shut down a stand-alone AltaVault controller

1. To shut down the AltaVault controller, enter the following CLI command:

CLI> reload halt

When the shutdown is successful, the box powers off, there are no prompts or output to the console.

2. If you are not already grounded, properly ground yourself.

3. Turn off the power supplies by turning the on/off switch to the OFF (O) position. If the power source for this power

supply has a on/off switch, turn the switch to the OFF (O) position.

4. Unplug the power cords from the power supplies and the power source:

–

Pinch the tab on the locking mechanism of the cable retainer clip, and open the retainer clip.

–

Slide the retainer clip off the cord.

–

Unplug the power cord from the power supply. Then, unplug the cord from the power source.

–

Repeat Step 4 for the second power supply.
