If necessary, ensure that after the repair you have the appropriate configuration of managers. If there
was a manager running on the storage system before you began the repair process, you may start
a manager on the repaired storage system as necessary to finish with the correct number of managers
in the management group.
If you added a virtual manager to the management group, you must first delete the virtual manager
before you can start a regular manager.
1.
Right-click the virtual manager, and select Stop Virtual Manager.
2.
Right-click the virtual manager, and select Delete Virtual Manager.
3.
Right-click the storage system, and select Start Manager.
Add repaired system to cluster
1.
After the initialization completes, right-click the cluster, and select Edit Cluster. The list of the
storage systems in the cluster should include the ghost IP address.
You now need to add the repaired storage system to the cluster in the spot held by the ghost IP
address.
2.
Select the ghost storage system (the IP address in the list) and click Exchange System.
3.
Select the repaired storage system to exchange for the ghost storage system and click OK.
The storage system returns to its original position in the cluster and volumes in the cluster proceed
to resync.

Before rearranging
After rearranging
NOTE:
If you do not arrange the storage systems to match their original order, the data in the cluster is rebuilt
across all the storage systems instead of just the repaired storage system. This total data rebuild takes
longer to complete and increases the chance of a second failure during this period.
To ensure that only the repaired storage system goes through the rebuild, before you click the OK
button in the Edit Cluster window, double-check that the order of the storage systems in the cluster list
matches the original order.
Rebuild volume data
After the storage system is successfully added back to the cluster, the adjacent storage systems start
rebuilding data on the repaired storage system.
