505: No enclosure identity and partner has system data that does not match.

Explanation

The enclosure vital product data indicates that the enclosure midplane has been replaced. This node canister and the other node canister in the enclosure do not come from the same original enclosure.

User Response

Follow troubleshooting procedures to relocate nodes to the correct location.
  1. Follow the "Procedure: Getting node canister and system information using the service assistant" task to review the node canister saved location information and the status of the other node canister in the enclosure (the partner canister). Determine if the enclosure is part of an active system with volumes that contain required data.
  2. Decide what to do with the node canister that did not come from the enclosure that is being replaced.
    1. If the other node canister from the enclosure being replaced is available, use the hardware remove and replace canister procedures to remove the incorrect canister and replace it with the second node canister from the enclosure being replaced. Restart both canisters. The two node canister should show node error 504 and the actions for that error should be followed.
    2. If the other node canister from the enclosure being replaced is not available, check the enclosure of the node canister that did not come from the replaced enclosure. Do not use this canister in this enclosure if you require the volume data on the system from which the node canister was removed, and that system is not running with two online nodes. You should return the canister to its original enclosure and use a different canister in this enclosure.
    3. When you have checked that it is not required elsewhere, follow the "Procedure: Removing system data from a node canister" task to remove cluster data from the node canister that did not come from the enclosure that is being replaced.
    4. Restart both nodes. Expect node error 506 to be reported now, then follow the service procedures for that error.
