508 Cluster identifier is different between enclosure and node

Explanation

The node canister location information shows it is in the correct enclosure, however the enclosure has had a new clustered system created on it since the node was last shut down. Therefore, the clustered system state data stored on the node is not valid.

User response

Follow troubleshooting procedures to correctly relocate the nodes.
  1. Check whether a new clustered system has been created on this enclosure while this canister was not operating or whether the node canister was recently installed in the enclosure.
  2. Follow the Procedure: Getting node canister and system information using the service assistant task, and check the partner node canister to see if it is also reporting node error 508. If it is, check that the saved system information on this and the partner node match.

    If the system information on both nodes matches, follow the Replacing a control enclosure midplane procedure to change the enclosure midplane.

  3. If this node canister is the one to be used in this enclosure, follow the Procedure: Removing system data from a node canister task to remove clustered system data from the node canister. It will then join the clustered system.
  4. If this is not the node canister that you intended to use, follow the Replacing a node canister procedure to replace the node canister with the one intended for use.

Possible Cause—FRUs or other:

  • Service procedure error (90%)
  • Enclosure midplane (10%)
