You can use the command-line interface (CLI) to add a control
enclosure back into the system after it is either removed or rejected.
Attention: Before you add a control enclosure to a system, configure the switch
zoning. The control
enclosure to add must be in the same zone as all other control enclosure in
the system. You can replace a control enclosure 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.
To add a control enclosure to a system, complete the following procedure:
- Issue this CLI command to list the control enclosure candidates:
lscontrolenclosurecandidate
- Issue this CLI command to add the control enclosure:
addcontrolenclosure -iogrp 1 -sernum G00F7GY
The 0 value is the I/O group where you add the control
enclosure. The G00F7GY value is the serial number for the control enclosure.
Note: In a service situation, add a
control
enclosure back into a system by using the original
control
enclosure name. When the partner nodecontrol enclosure in the I/O group is not deleted, the I/O group name is the default
when the -name value is not specified.
The following example output might result:
Enclosure containing Node, id [x], successfully added
Attention: If more than one candidate
control
enclosure 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
control
enclosure belongs to the I/O group, shut down all host systems that access this system.
Restart each system after you add all
control
enclosures back into the system.
- Issue this CLI command to ensure that the node was added successfully:
All control enclosures
are now online.
