Replacing a Cluster-Enabled Dell PERC RAID Adapter

If you have to replace a cluster-enabled PERC RAID adapter, perform the following steps:

1Turn off the failed node.

2Disconnect the failed PERC RAID adapter’s cable from the shared storage system.

NOTICE: If you replace your PERC RAID adapter, ensure that you enable cluster mode on the replacement PERC RAID adapter before you connect the SCSI cables to the shared storage system.

NOTICE: A failed PERC 4/DC card must be replaced with a PERC4/DC card. A failed PERC 4e/DC card must be replaced with a PERC 4e/DC card.

3Replace the failed PERC RAID adapter in the system without reconnecting the cable.

4Turn on the system with the replaced PERC RAID adapter and run the BIOS configuration utility.

NOTICE: If you replace a PERC RAID adapter that will be connected to shared storage system, you must set the appropriate SCSI ID before you connect the SCSI cables to the shared storage system.

5Change the SCSI ID so that it differs from the SCSI ID on the peer cluster node's PERC RAID adapter.

NOTE: See your PERC RAID adapter documentation for more information about changing the SCSI ID. Also, see the cluster configuration tables (if you completed the information in the tables) in the Dell PowerEdge Cluster SE500W Platform Guide.

6Shut down the system.

7Reconnect the system to the shared storage system.

8Restart the system and restore the RAID configuration using configuration information stored on the disks. See the PERC RAID adapter documentation for more information about this procedure.

Replacing a Cluster Node

This section assumes that you have a recent tape backup of the cluster node that contains the local registry information.

1Ensure that the replacement cluster node is physically disconnected from the storage system.

2Ensure that Windows and the latest Windows Service Pack are installed and configured properly on the replacement node.

3Install the correct network adapter drivers, assign the appropriate IP addresses, and install the PERC RAID adapter driver.

4Shut down the replacement node.

5Connect the SCSI cables from each PERC RAID adapter to the Dell™ PowerVault™ 22xS storage system.
