Each SCSI-blade process should be in quorum with the other nodes in the cluster. Any issues must
be resolved before you proceed with the replacement.
• If you have a cluster with more than two nodes, it must be in quorum. If the cluster is not in quorum or
a healthy controller shows false for eligibility and health, you must correct the issue before shutting
down the impaired controller; see
Steps
1. If AutoSupport is enabled, suppress automatic case creation by invoking an AutoSupport message:
system node autosupport invoke -node * -type all -message
MAINT=number_of_hours_downh
The following AutoSupport message suppresses automatic case creation for two hours:
system node autosupport invoke -node * -type all -message MAINT=2h
2. Disable automatic giveback from the console of the healthy controller:
–node local -auto-giveback false
When you see Do you want to disable auto-giveback?, enter y.
3. Take the impaired controller to the LOADER prompt:

To replace the controller module hardware, you must remove the impaired controller,
move FRU components to the replacement controller module, install the replacement
controller module in the chassis, and then boot the system to Maintenance mode.
== Step 1: Remove the controller module
You must remove the controller module from the chassis when you replace a component inside the
controller module.
