Isilon: Onefs: How to change Node LNN number from CLI
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.
**WARNING: If the cluster is using CloudPools, the additional steps in KB 000260843 must also be followed to avoid risks to CloudPools data.

Step 1: SSH into any node in the cluster
If you are unsure if the cluster has protocol auditing enabled, you can verify with the following command:
# 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 <old lnn> <new lnn>"
(For example if you want to change the LNN number for node 3 to 4)
# isi config {Press enter}
>> lnnset 3 4 {Press enter}
Step 4: Node 3 has now changed to Node 4. The change is applied on 'commit'.
>> commit {Press enter}
Commit succeeded.
Re-check if the lnn number changed successfully by running "isi status" or "isi config" then "lnn"
Step 5: Re-enable 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
NOTE: Changing a node's LNN with lnnset does not instantly update the node's LCD front panel to display the new LNN. See KB 15082 for details.
