name and password that you configured in the NetApp Deployment Engine.
d. Select Cluster > Nodes.
e. Match the serial number you noted down with the serial number (service tag) listed.
f. Make a note of the node ID of the node.
2. After you identify the node, move iSCSI sessions away from the node by using the following API call:
wget --no-check-certificate -q --user=<USER> --password=<PASS> -O - --post
-data '{ "method":"MovePrimariesAwayFromNode", "params":{"nodeID":<NODEID>} }'
https://<MVIP>/json-rpc/8.0
MVIP is the MVIP IP address, NODEID is the node ID, USER is the user name you configured in the
NetApp Deployment Engine when you set up NetApp HCI, and PASS is the password you configured in the
NetApp Deployment Engine when you set up NetApp HCI.
3. Select Cluster > Drives to remove the drives associated with the node.
You should wait for the drives that you removed to show up as Available before you
remove the node.
4. Select Cluster > Nodes > Actions > Remove to remove the node.
5. Use the following API call to shut down the node:
wget --no-check-certificate -q --user=<USER> --password=<PASS> -O - --post
-data '{ "method":"Shutdown", "params":{"option":"halt", "nodes":[ <NODEID>]}
}'
https://<MVIP>/json-rpc/8.0
MVIP is the MVIP IP address, NODEID is the node ID, USER is the user name you configured in the
NetApp Deployment Engine when you set up NetApp HCI, and PASS is the password you configured in the
NetApp Deployment Engine when you set up NetApp HCI.
After the node is shut down, you are ready to physically remove it from the chassis.
6. Remove the drives from the node in the chassis as follows:
a. Remove the bezel.
b. Label the drives.
c. Open the cam handle, and slide each drive out carefully using both hands.
d. Place the drives on an antistatic, level surface.
7. Remove the node from the chassis as follows:
a. Label the node and cables attached to it.
b. Pull down the cam handle on the right side of each node, and pull the node out using both the cam
handles.
8. Reinstall the node into the chassis by pushing the node in until you hear a click.
The labels you had attached to the node before you removed it help guide you.
Ensure that you support the node from under when you install it. Do not use excessive
force while pushing the node into the chassis.
If installing into the new chassis, ensure that you install the node into its original slot in
the chassis.
9. Install the drives into their respective slots in the node by pressing down the cam handle on each drive until
it clicks.
