Remove and replace the System x, xSeries, or blade server
iSCSI HBA
Learn the hardware and software configuration tasks to remove and replace an iSCSI HBA. Use the
instructions in this section to accomplish these tasks.
Stop the iSCSI integrated System x, xSeries, or blade server
Locate instructions to stop your integrated server.
To stop the iSCSI HBA integrated server, refer to the Start and stop an integrated server topic in the web
site http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/iseries/v5r4/topic/rzahq/rzahqntspo.htm. Successfully
stopping an iSCSI HBA integrated server will turn off the power to the integrated server.
Remove the System x, xSeries, or blade server iSCSI HBA
Locate instructions to remove the adapter.
Once the iSCSI HBA integrated server has been stopped, removing the iSCSI HBA from a System x,
xSeries, or blade server is not any different from removing any other adapter from either server. See the
documentation for your System x, xSeries, or blade server and return to these instructions to complete
configuration.
Note:
Any Ethernet cables plugged into the System x or xSeries iSCSI HBA should be labeled and
disconnected prior to removing the iSCSI HBA. You will not have to disconnect any Ethernet cables from
the blade server as these connections are made through the BladeCenter midplane.
Replace the System x, xSeries, or blade server iSCSI HBA
Before you continue with this procedure print the
iSCSI Network Planning Worksheets
in the
Select System x, xSeries, or blade server replacement from the following list:
Important:
In either procedure make a note of the MAC addresses from the sticker on the iSCSI HBA in
the
iSCSI Network Planning Worksheets
.
v
System x or xSeries: Refer to the System x or xSeries server documentation to perform this task. Any
Ethernet cables connected to the original iSCSI HBA will need to be reconnected after the replacement
iSCSI HBA is installed.
v
blade server: Refer to the blade server documentation to perform this task.
Configure the replacement iSCSI HBA
The new iSCSI HBA will need to be configured to match the replaced iSCSI HBA. Also, the remote
system network server configuration object associated with the xSeries or blade server this iSCSI HBA is
installed in will need to be updated to reflect the new iSCSI HBA hardware.
