506 No enclosure identity and no node state on partner

Explanation

The enclosure vital product data indicates that the enclosure midplane has been replaced. There is no cluster state information on the other node canister in the enclosure (the partner canister), so both node canisters from the original enclosure have not been moved to this one.

User response

Follow troubleshooting procedures to relocate nodes to the correct location:
  1. Follow the procedure: Getting node canister and system information and review the saved location information of the node canister and determine why the second node canister from the original enclosure was not moved into this enclosure.
  2. If you are sure that this node canister came from the enclosure that is being replaced, and the original partner canister is available, use the Replacing a node canister procedure to install the second node canister in this enclosure. Restart the node canister. The two node canisters should show node error 504, and the actions for that error should be followed.
  3. If you are sure this node canister came from the enclosure that is being replaced, and that the original partner canister has failed, continue following the remove and replace procedure for an enclosure midplane and configure the new enclosure.
