If an alternate fabric ethernet entry point is not available, or if this is a single
switch fabric, it will be necessary to connect the management station directly to the
new switch with the crossover ethernet cable (refer to section 1 for information
about connecting a crossover cable). It will also be necessary to configure the
Fabric window to access the switch by the default IP address of 10.0.0.1.
1.
At the failed switch:
a.
Turn off the power and disconnect the AC cord(s).
b.
Note port locations and remove the interconnection cables and GBICs.
c.
Remove the failed switch.
2.
At the replacement switch:
a.
Mount the switch in the location where the failed switch was removed.
b.
Install the GBICs and cables removed from the failed switch in the
same port locations.
c.
Attach the AC cord(s) and turn on one (if more than one present) power
supply.
3.
Open the Topology window for the fabric. The failed switch and the
replacement switch will both appear on the topology screen (refer to
Figure
2-9
).
4.
Select the icon for the failed switch. DO NOT select the rack the switch is
located in, or all shelves defined for that rack will be selected.
5.
On the tool bar, press the Delete button. The fabric will now show only
usable switches (refer to
Figure 2-10
).
6.
Select Special>Restore Fabric.
7.
Select the file which was created with the desired fabric archive. A dialog
box opens (refer to
Figure 2-11
).
8.
Using the drop-down list of fabric switches for the unassigned switch, select
the switch which was replaced.
NOTE:
A replacement switch must be an exact replacement of the switch being removed.
A 16_port must replace a 16_port, and an 8_port must replace an 8_port. If a fabric
contains only MKII switches or both MKII and SANbox switches, either an MKII
or a SANbox switch may be used to replace a failed switch. If the fabric contains
only SANbox switches, only a SANbox switch may be used as a replacement.
