Caution:
Before you
attempt to replace the chassis:
- Schedule for adequate downtime during hours of minimal array use.
- Disconnect the array from your VMware host.
- Unmount the array from your Linux host.
- Plan how you want to install the new chassis into the rack. Does the existing array have to be removed first? Do you have a jack, or other lifting device, or a second person to help you lift the array into place?
HPE recommends using the Maintenance Window functionality within the HPE InfoSight portal to inform HPE Support of upcoming maintenance windows.
Refer to https://infosight.hpe.com/dashboards/nimble/wellness/maintenance-windows for more information.
You can disable automated support case generation during planned maintenance from the Manage Maintenance Windows page. After a maintenance window is set, no further communication with HPE Support is required.
Use this procedure to replace the chassis of your Nimble Storage array or expansion shelf.
