PowerScale: How To Change Node LNN Number
Summary: This article explains how to change Logical Node Number (LNN) from the CLI.
Instructions
Below is the procedure to change the Logical Node Number (LNN) number for a Node according to your workflow requirements.
Note: If the cluster is doing protocol auditing, do the steps below in order to avoid data unavailability. The cluster does not audit protocol traffic while auditing is disabled. Proceed with caution.

Step 1: SSH into any node in the cluster
Verify that protocol auditing is enabled:
# isi audit settings global view
Protocol Auditing Enabled: Yes <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
Audited Zones: -
CEE Server URIs: -
Hostname:
Config Auditing Enabled: No
Config Syslog Enabled: No
Config Syslog Servers: -
Protocol Syslog Servers: -
Auto Purging Enabled: No
Retention Period: 180
Step 2: Disable auditing before performing the LNN change:
Disable Audit: # isi audit settings global modify --protocol-auditing-enabled=no # isi services -a isi_audit_d disable
Step 3: Run the command "isi config" then use "lnnset" command :
(For example the LNN number is going from node 3 to 4)
# isi config {Press enter}
>> lnnset 3 4 {Press enter}
Step 4: Node 3 has now changed to Node 4. Enter commit to commit the change:
>> commit {Press enter}
Commit succeeded.
Check if the LNN number changed successfully by running "isi status" or "isi config" then "lnn" :
Step 5: Reenable isi_audit_d and protocol auditing if applicable:
Enable Audit: # isi services -a isi_audit_d enable
ONLY re-enable if the cluster was doing protocol auditing from the first step: # isi audit settings global modify --protocol-auditing-enabled=yes
