Attaching the PowerVault NX3500 Controller

Before completing this procedure, verify that the controller being attached is
in standby mode and powered up.
To attach the new controller to the cluster:
1 Plug-in a USB disk-on-key to the peer controller, and create a configuration
for the new controller by logging in to the CLI on the management IP
address and running the following command:
system maintenance controllers save-conf
<controllerID>
This command saves the system configuration on the USB disk-on-key.
2 Transfer the disk-on-key to the new controller, and let it run until the
message "ready to be attached/clusterized" (after it configures the network)
is displayed.
The process begins automatically.
NOTE:
3 Log in to the CLI on the management IP address and run the
following command:
system maintenance controllers attach start
<controllerID>
4 If you get disconnected, to view the progress, log in to the CLI again and
execute the following command:
system maintenance controllers attach status
This process takes some time to complete.
Do not remove the USB key until the reconfiguration has occurred.
