Preparing a Fabric Interconnect for Removal Removing a standby fabric interconnect is non-disruptive to a UCS system. Removing an active fabric interconnect will cause the standby fabric interconnect to become active with minimal or no disruption. Be aware that if you remove both the active and standby fabric interconnect from a UCS system, or the sole fabric interconnect from a standalone system, you are shutting down the entire UCS instance. Before doing this, perform the following tasks: 1. Perform a backup of your UCS Manager configuration as discussed in the "System Management" section, "Backing Up and Restoring the Configuration" chapter of the UCS Manager configuration guide for your software release. 1. Use UCS Manager to shut down the OS on all servers in the UCS instance. Graceful shutdown of a blade server is discussed in the "System Management" section, "Managing Blade Servers" chapter of the UCS Manager configuration guide for your software release. The related CLI commands are: UCS-A# scope org UCS-A /org # scope service-profile service-profile-name UCS-A /org/service-profile # power down 2. Disable the Smart Call Home feature, as mentioned in the "System Monitoring" section, "Configuring Call Home" chapter of the UCS Manager configuration guide for your software release. The related CLI commands are: UCS-A# scope monitoring UCS-A /monitoring # scope callhome UCS-A /monitoring/callhome # disable 3. Decommision every attached chassis as described in the "System Management" section, "Managing the Chassis" chapter of the UCS Manager configuration guide for your software release. The related CLI command is decommission-chassis chassis-num . 4. Power down every attached chassis as decribed in the installation chapter of the Cisco UCS 5108 Server Chassis Installation Guide. When powering down and removing clustered fabric interconnects, remove the secondary first, and then remove the primary. Removing a Cisco UCS 6120XP Caution The slider rail and front rack-mount brackets do not have a stop mechanism when sliding in and out. If the front of the chassis is unfastened from the rack and the chassis slides forward on the slider rails, it may slip off the end of the rails and fall out of the rack.
