SF Series Node Hardware Fault: RTFI_HARDWARE_FAILURES RADIAN_TIME_TO_CHARGE during RTFI or timeToChargeCapacitors: {>150} in cluster UI

Applies to

• SF Series storage nodes

Issue

• In Storage cluster UI, a node fault:
  • nvramDeviceStatus
  • NVRAM device problems detected, metadata drive will be removed. Contact NetApp Support. warning={timeToChargeCapacitors: [>150] Seconds} error={derivedCapacitanceOfThePack: 0.000 F}

OR

• During RTFI:
  • There were 1 hardware related RTFI_HARDWARE_FAILURES
  • RADIAN_TIME_TO_CHARGE

Example screenshot during RTFI:

• If this occurs during RTFI, accept the message Ignore errors and continue (ALT-F8 to display, ALT-F7 to return) (Yes,No)
• Finish the RTFI and add the node to the cluster, but do not add any drives
• Cluster UI should show a node fault similar to:
  • NVRAM device problems detected, metadata drive will be removed. Contact NetApp Support. error={derivedCapacitanceOfThePack: 0.000 F, timeToChargeCapacitors: 42949664 Seconds}
