Procedure: Reseating a Lenovo Storage V7000 Gen2 node canister

Use this procedure to reseat a Lenovo Storage V7000 Gen2 node canister that is in service state or because of a service action that requires that the node canister be reseated.

Verify that you are reseating the correct node canister and that you use the correct canister handle for the node that you are reseating. A handle for each node canister is located above the canister.

  1. Verify the clustered-system status LED on the node canister. If it is permanently on, the node is active. If the node is active, no reseating is required.
  2. Verify that you selected the correct node canister and verify why you are reseating it.
  3. Rotate the handle release trigger.
  4. Pull out the handle to its full extension.
  5. Grasp the canister to pull it out 2 or 3 inches.
  6. Push the canister to return it into the slot until the handle starts to move.
  7. Finish inserting the canister by closing the handle until the locking catch clicks into place.
  8. Verify that the cables were not displaced.
  9. Verify that the LEDs are on.
