You can use the command-line interface (CLI) to add a node back into the system after it is either removed or
rejected.
About this task
Attention: Before you add a node to a system, configure the switch zoning. The node to add must be in the same zone as all other nodes in the system. You can replace a node when the switch is zoned by worldwide port name (WWPN)
rather than by switch port. To use the same WWPNs, carefully adhere
to this service procedure.
Procedure
To add a node to a system, complete the
following procedure:
- Issue this CLI command to list the node candidates:
lsnodecandidate
- Issue this CLI command to add the node:
addnode
-panelname panel_name -name new_name_arg -iogrp iogroup_name
The panel_name variable
is the name that is noted in step 1. (For this example,
the panel name is 000279.) The number is printed on the front panel
of the node that you are adding back into the system. Use the new_name_arg variable
to specify a name for the new node. The iogroup_name variable
is the I/O group that was noted when the previous node was deleted
from the system.
Note: In a service
situation, add a node back into a system by using
the original node name. When the partner node in the I/O group is not deleted, the I/O group name
is the default when the -name value is not
specified.
This example
shows the command that you can use: addnode -panelname
000279 -name newnode -iogrp io_grp1
The following
example output might result:
Node, id [newnode], successfully added
Attention: If more than one candidate node exists, add it into same I/O group to which
it belonged before it was deleted. Failure to do so might result in data corruption. If you are
uncertain about which candidate node belongs to the I/O group, shut down all host systems that
access this system. Reboot each system after you add all nodesback into the system.
- Issue this CLI command to ensure that the node was added
successfully:
svcinfo lsnode
Results
All nodesare now online.
