Had the "fun" of swapping out a failed Rubrik R6410 node, here are a few notes:
R6410 Rubrik nodes (120tb raw storage) twelve 10tb drives, apx 75tb useable
-If the node is still "functioning" remove the node from the cluster (logically), else it will have to be forcefully removed from the cluster
-Turn on UID
-Power off the node
-pull out the node
-To unlock the node from the chassis, the right pull tap ear, needs a slight downward movement to unlock it, then gripping both pull tabs pull.
-The encryption module (TPM) must be swapped, from the existing (defective node) to the replacement node.
-The SSD drive may also need to be swapped, verify the amount of ram and the NVMe SSD drive
-The TPM module is circled in yellow. To get to it the SSD drive tray must be unscrewed from the node and set off to the side. The screws (which are different lengths) are pointed out in red.
-The TPM module pulls straight up. Notice that that on the TPM module itself there is one hole for the pins that blocked out, this is so it only goes in one way and cannot be plugged in backwards.
-Once things have been cabled up, go to the front of the rack, pull off the vanity cover. There are four sets of LED’s and buttons, one set for each node. One set of those will be off, that will be for the node you just swapped. Press the power button.
-Put the defective node back in the box, seal up, apply the shipping label that came with the package, and get it to the respective delivery service. Please hold on to the defective node for at least one day before sending back, so I can be sure all is well with the swap.
