Replace an internal M.2 boot module

Take the following actions to remove the faulted internal M.2 boot module and install the replacement internal M.2 boot module
into the system.
The internal M.2 boot module is located within the node. You can access the internal M.2 boot module by removing the node
from the chassis and opening the top cover.

Before you begin

CAUTION: Before starting this procedure, use the PowerStore Manager Hardware view and Alerts view to verify
that the appliance and peer node are healthy with no outstanding alerts. If multiple nodes need to be removed
while performing this procedure, repeat this verification for each affected node before proceeding to remove
the next node. If necessary, contact your service provider before starting the replacement procedure.
Identify a faulted internal M.2 boot module from PowerStore
Manager
Before you replace an internal M.2 boot module, ensure that you have identified its location within the system. Using
PowerStore Manager, you can identify and locate a faulted part.
Steps
1. From PowerStore Manager, select Hardware.
2. Select the appliance that includes the internal M.2 boot module that you need to replace.
3. On the Components card, under Internal View, expand the node that includes the internal M.2 boot module, and then
select the relevant InternalM.2BootModule.
Faulted parts appear in red in the image of the system, and report a status of Faulted in the State field.

Establish connectivity to the peer node via SSH

Before beginning the replacement procedure, ensure that your connection to the peer node is working correctly.
About this task
CAUTION: Before you begin this procedure, establish a connection to the healthy node to run service commands
via SSH. You need to run the svc_repair command immediately after re-inserting the node to allow the system
to reimage the new internal M.2 boot module from the surviving node. To prevent time out issues with the
svc_repair command, it is important to first resolve any problems with the connection.
Steps
1. Launch an SSH client, and connect to the appliance using the management IP address.
2. Enter the username and password for the service account to log in.

Power down the node

Power down the node as described in Power control procedures.
