3par replaced node cannot join cluster

Mikemakers — Mon, 22 Aug 2016 14:32:22 GMT

dears,

I had a 3par 7400 with 17 enclosures and os version is 3.2.1.484 with 1 faulty node(Node0). I tried to replace it with a used controller as a spare, after replacement the controller led become steady green which means it couldn't join the cluster. so we tried to shutdown the cluster and powered off and on the box base on the documentation. after power on the 4th node (NODE 3) also become faulty and dead. so after a quit long time we tried to change the 4th node (Node3) base on replacement document, same as Node0 happened to it. I tried to wipe out the configuration and I did the deinstallation the system but still the Node1 and Node2 can joined the cluster. then I tried to rescue both nodes one by one since both have already used in some other systems and rescue actually finished successfully and the have got correct box serial number and hostname but still they couldn't join the cluster and their interconnect ports are amber.

please help

thanks in advance

Mike

Howdy,

I think that you posted this question in a forum meant for Comware OS based Ethernet switches?

Maybe you'll get a better response in this forum for 3Par disk Arrays

Hope that helps (please give kudos below if it does)

With all your problems, it's time to call HPE Support.
