This procedure will remove a liquid-cooled blade from an HPE Cray EX system.
The Cray command line interface (CLI) tool is initialized and configured on the system. See Configure the Cray Command Line Interface.
Knowledge of whether DVS is operating over the Node Management Network (NMN) or the High Speed Network (HSN).
The Slingshot fabric must be configured with the desired topology for desired state of the blades in the system.
The System Layout Service (SLS) must have the desired HSN configuration.
Check the status of the high-speed network (HSN) and record link status before the procedure.
The blades must have the coolant drained and filled during the swap to minimize cross-contamination of cooling systems.
The System Admin Toolkit (SAT) is installed and configured on the system.
Using the work load manager (WLM), drain running jobs from the affected nodes on the blade.
Refer to the vendor documentation for the WLM for more information.
(ncn-mw#) Determine which Boot Orchestration Service (BOS) templates to use to shut down nodes on the target blade.
There will be separate session templates for UANs and computes nodes.
List all the session templates.
If it is unclear which session template is in use, proceed to the next substep.
cray bos v1 sessiontemplate list
Find the node xnames with sat status. In this example, the target blade is in slot x9000c3s0.
sat status --filter 'xname=x9000c3s0*'
Example output:
+---------------+------+----------+-------+------+---------+------+-------+-------------+----------+
| xname | Type | NID | State | Flag | Enabled | Arch | Class | Role | Net |
+---------------+------+----------+-------+------+---------+------+-------+-------------+----------+
| x9000c3s0b1n0 | Node | 1 | Off | OK | True | X86 | River | Compute | Sling |
| x9000c3s0b2n0 | Node | 2 | Off | OK | True | X86 | River | Compute | Sling |
| x9000c3s0b3n0 | Node | 3 | Off | OK | True | X86 | River | Compute | Sling |
| x9000c3s0b4n0 | Node | 4 | Off | OK | True | X86 | River | Compute | Sling |
+---------------+------+----------+-------+------+---------+------+-------+-------------+----------+
Find the bos_session value for each node via the Configuration Framework Service (CFS).
cray cfs components describe x9000c3s0b1n0 --format toml | grep bos_session
Example output:
bos_session = "e98cdc5d-3f2d-4fc8-a6e4-1d301d37f52f"
Find the required templateName value with BOS.
cray bos v1 session describe BOS_SESSION --format toml | grep templateName
Example output:
templateName = "compute-nid1-4-sessiontemplate"
Determine the list of xnames associated with the desired boot session template.
cray bos v1 sessiontemplate describe SESSION_TEMPLATE_NAME --format toml | grep node_list
Example output:
node_list = [ "x9000c3s0b1n0", "x9000c3s0b2n0", "x9000c3s0b3n0", "x9000c3s0b4n0",]
(ncn-mw#) Shut down the nodes on the target blade.
Use the sat bootsys command to shut down the nodes on the target blade.
Specify the appropriate component name (xname) for the slot, and a comma-separated list of the BOS session templates determined in the previous step.
BOS_TEMPLATES=cos-2.0.30-slurm-healthy-compute
sat bootsys shutdown --stage bos-operations --bos-limit x9000c3s0 --recursive --bos-templates $BOS_TEMPLATES
(ncn-mw#) Clear out the existing Redfish event subscriptions from the BMCs on the blade.
Set the environment variable SLOT to the blade’s location.
SLOT=x9000c3s0
Clear the Redfish event subscriptions.
export TOKEN=$(curl -s -S -d grant_type=client_credentials \
-d client_id=admin-client \
-d client_secret=`kubectl get secrets admin-client-auth -o jsonpath='{.data.client-secret}' | base64 -d` \
https://api-gw-service-nmn.local/keycloak/realms/shasta/protocol/openid-connect/token | jq -r '.access_token')
for BMC in $(cray hsm inventory redfishEndpoints list --type NodeBMC --format json | jq .RedfishEndpoints[].ID -r | grep ${SLOT}); do
/usr/share/doc/csm/scripts/operations/node_management/delete_bmc_subscriptions.py $BMC
done
Each BMC on the blade will have output like the following:
Clearing subscriptions from NodeBMC x3000c0s9b0
Retrieving BMC credentials from SCSD
Retrieving Redfish Event subscriptions from the BMC: https://x3000c0s9b0/redfish/v1/EventService/Subscriptions
Deleting event subscription: https://x3000c0s9b0/redfish/v1/EventService/Subscriptions/1
Successfully deleted https://x3000c0s9b0/redfish/v1/EventService/Subscriptions/1
(ncn-mw#) Power off the slot and delete blade information from HSM.
Use the sat swap command to power off the slot and delete the blade’s Ethernet interfaces and Redfish endpoints from HSM.
sat swap blade --action disable x9000c3s0
This command will also save the MAC addresses, IP addresses, and node component names (xnames) from the blade to a JSON document. The document is stored in a file with the following naming convention:
ethernet-interface-mappings-<blade_xname>-<current_year>-<current_month>-<current_day>.json
If a mapping file already exists with the above name, then a numeric suffix will be appended to the file name in front of the .json extension.
