Removing a Standard rack node from a System

This procedure will remove one or more air-cooled standard node from an HPE Cray EX system.

This procedure is applicable for the following types of standard rack nodes:

  • Single node chassis (DL325, DL385, etc…)
  • Dual node chassis (Apollo 6500 XL645d, etc…)
  • Quad dense node chassis (Gigabyte compute node chassis)

Prerequisites

  • The Cray command line interface (CLI) tool is initialized and configured on the system. See Configure the Cray CLI.
  • Knowledge of whether Data Virtualization Service (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 HSN and record link status before the procedure.

Procedure

1. Retrieve an API token

  1. (ncn-mw#) Retrieve an API token.

    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')
    

2. Power down node

  1. Use the workload manager (WLM) to drain running jobs from the affected nodes on the blade.

    Refer to the vendor documentation for the WLM for more information.

  2. (ncn-mw#) Use Boot Orchestration Services (BOS) to shut down the affected nodes in the source blade.

    In this example, x9000c3s0 is the source blade. Specify the appropriate component name (xname) and BOS template for the node type in the following command.

    BOS_TEMPLATE=cos-2.0.30-slurm-healthy-compute
    cray bos v1 session create --template-name $BOS_TEMPLATE --operation shutdown --limit x9000c3s0b0n0,x9000c3s0b0n1,x9000c3s0b1n0,x9000c3s0b1n1
    

3. Remove data from SLS and HSM

  1. (ncn-mw#) Set NODE_XNAME environment variable with the nodes xname:

    NODE_XNAME=x3000c0s19b0n0
    
  2. (ncn-mw#) Verify the node to be removed is powered off:

    cray capmc get_xname_status create --xnames "${NODE_XNAME}" --format toml
    

    Expected output:

    e = 0
    err_msg = ""
    off = [ "x3000c0s19b0n0",]
    
  3. (ncn-mw#) If the node being removed is an UAN, then remove the IP address reservation for the node in the CAN or CHN networks.

    Node If the UAN is being replaced within the same rack slot, then this step can be skipped.

    1. Perform a dry-run:

      /usr/share/doc/csm/scripts/operations/node_management/allocate_uan_ip.py allocate-uan-ip \
          --xname "${NODE_XNAME}"
      

      Example output:

          --xname "${NODE_XNAME}" \
          --perform-changes

  5. Repeat for each node being removed on the blade.

4. Remove Gigabyte CMC

If removing an a Gigabyte dense compute node remove the Gigabyte CMC data. Otherwise, for other node types this step can be skipped.

  1. (ncn-mw#) Set CMC_XNAME environment variable with the xname of the CMC.

    CMC_XNAME=x3000c0s17b999
    
  2. (ncn-mw#) Remove the Gigabyte CMC data.

    /usr/share/doc/csm/scripts/operations/node_management/remove_gigabyte_cmc.sh "${CMC_XNAME}"

The node can now be physically removed from the system.
