User response

On Storwize® V7000, FlashSystem 9100, and FlashSystem 9200, if this node error is reported when a node canister is being replaced with a field-replaceable unit (FRU) or a customer-replaceable unit (CRU), follow Procedure: Rescuing the software from another node canister (node rescue) to rescue the replacement node canister.

Follow troubleshooting procedures to relocate the nodes to the correct location.
  1. Follow the procedure "Getting node canister and system information by using a USB flash drive" and review the saved location information of the node canister to determine which control enclosure the node canister belongs in.
  2. Follow the procedure to move the node canister to the correct location, then follow the procedure to move the expansion canister that is probably in that location to the correct location. If a node canister is in active state where this node canister must be, do not replace that node canister with this one.
