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.
Controllers may only be serviced in Standby mode. Never remove a controller running in Active mode. You do not have to shut down the array or expansion shelf to replace or add a PCIe card. The storage array can function with one active controller while the PCIe card is added on the standby controller.
Use this procedure to replace existing network interface cards (NICs) or host bus adapters (HBAs) on your HPE Nimble Storage array.
