Compute Node Replacement - Lenovo ThinkAgile CP Hardware Part Replacement And Component Maintenance Procedures

Compute node replacement

Use the following procedures to remove and install the compute node from the ThinkSystem D2 Enclosure.
Remove a compute node
This procedure describes how to remove a compute node from your ThinkAgile CP configuration.
Procedure performed by: Solution administrator, ThinkAgile Advantage Support
To remove a compute node from your ThinkAgile CP configuration, perform the following steps:
Step 1. Obtain the serial number from the web portal's Hardware page.
Note: This step requires administrator-level access.
Step 2. Shut down the compute node. See "Shutting off a compute node" on page 85.
Step 3. Physically remove the compute node.
Step 4. Sign in to the primary interconnect from Support Mode (see Chapter 4 "Managing Support Mode"
on page 23).
The username is admin and the password is the one set during the installation.
Step 5. Run the following command on the primary interconnect:
> > s s u u d d o o s s e e r r v v i i c c e e t t a a c c p p - - n n e e t t w w o o r r k k - - c c o o n n t t r r o o l l l l e e r r r r e e s s t t a a r r t t
Step 6. Contact Lenovo Support and request a hardware removal from the database by providing the serial
number and the region the hardware is (US or EU).
Install a compute node
This procedure describes how to add a compute node to your ThinkAgile CP configuration.
Procedure performed by: Customer or field service
To add a compute node to your ThinkAgile CP configuration, perform the following steps:
Step 1. Physically install the compute node in the compute enclosure and power it on.
Step 2. Launch the Cloud Controller and register the compute nodes. All compute and storage hardware
assets connected to the network interconnect(s) are displayed on the Hardware page in the Cloud
Controller and are ready for registration.
Step 3. In the Cloud Controller dashboard, select Hardware from the left menu.
Step 4. On the node that you want to register, click Register. The Register Node page displays.
Step 5. In the Node Name field, enter a unique name for the compute node.
Step 6. In the Administrator Password field, enter a password for the compute node's manager account.
Step 7. In the Compute Category drop-down, select a compute category from the list.
A compute category is a descriptor of nodes. Each node must belong to exactly one compute
category.
Note: If you do not intend to create multiple compute categories, you should use the provided
Default category for all nodes.
