Metrocluster / Node crash / Boot loop

Hi everyone,

We have a 2 node Metrocluster configuration with two FAS3140. Storage Configuration is Multi-Path HA. One of the nodes crashed and a failover happend. Unfortunately the node that crashed fails to boot and is in a Boot-Loop. RLM on the crashed node still works and this is the output if I login and try to boot it manually:

What I have tried so far: boot, boot_ontap, boot_backup, boot_primary, bye, power cycle.
Support contract has expired. It's an old system, the partner node works flawlessly and we are in the process of decommisioning both machines, but it would be better to have both machines online:).
Any idea how to reanimate SV01? Looks like a problem with the internal disk? Can I flash the fixed disk?

 

Regards
Uwe

Hi Uwe,

 

You can purchase one-time support for systems with expired entitlement.  Contact NetApp Support for details.

 

In the meantime, it would be very helpful you had the initial panic/crash information recorded. It might still be there, if you collect an RLM diagnostic dump.

From RLM CLI: > rlm status -d

 

Look over the output for any interesting info about the initial cause of the crash and what the console logs and system event logs say.

 

Since it looks like a HW issue, it would also be a good idea to pull the PCM and check/re-seat all of the cards in the enclosure. 

After reseating, it wouldn't be a bad idea to run system diagnostics. Here's the link to the Diagnostics Guide applicable to the FAS3140.
