Replace a Brocade FC switch

Page 383 highlights

If these conditions are not met, you will not be able to perform online replacement of the switch. Instead, you will need to stop the cluster, replace the switch, and use mxconfig to reconfigure the new switch into the cluster. Consult your switch documentation for the appropriate replacement procedure, keeping in mind that the above requirements must be met. However, if this documentation is not available, the following procedures describe a method to replace a switch. Replace a Brocade FC switch To replace a Brocade Fibre Channel switch, complete these steps: 1. Stop HP Scalable NAS on any servers that are connected only to the original switch. 2. If possible, save the configuration information on the original switch. Use the configUpload command. 3. Record the IP address of the original switch. Use the ipAddrShow command. 4. Back up the zone configuration information, either from the original switch or from another switch in the fabric. Use the cfgShow command and record its output. 5. Connect the power and either the Ethernet or the serial console cable to the new switch. 6. Log on to the new switch. 7. Disable the switch with the switchDisable command. 8. Disable any stale active configuration on the new switch with the cfgDisable command. 9. Verify that the Brocade licenses are installed by using the licenseShow command. The new switch should have the same kind of license as the rest of the fabric. 10. Clear any stale zone configuration on the new switch with the cfgClear command. 11. Save the clean configuration with the cfgSave command. 12. Configure the new switch. If you saved the original configuration with the configUpload command, use the configDownload command to restore it. Otherwise, use the configure command.

Consult your switch documentation for the appropriate replacement procedure,
keeping in mind that the above requirements must be met. However, if this

a switch.
Replace a Brocade FC switch
To replace a Brocade Fibre Channel switch, complete these steps:
1.
Stop HP Scalable NAS on any servers that are connected only to the original
switch.
2.
If possible, save the configuration information on the original switch. Use the
configUpload
command.
3.
Record the IP address of the original switch. Use the
ipAddrShow
command.
4.
Back up the zone configuration information, either from the original switch or
from another switch in the fabric. Use the
cfgShow
command and record its
output.
5.
Connect the power and either the Ethernet or the serial console cable to the new
switch.
6.
Log on to the new switch.
7.
Disable the switch with the
switchDisable
command.
8.
Disable any stale active configuration on the new switch with the
cfgDisable
command.
9.
Verify that the Brocade licenses are installed by using the
licenseShow
command. The new switch should have the same kind of license as the rest of
the fabric.
10.
Clear any stale zone configuration on the new switch with the
cfgClear
command.
11.
Save the clean configuration with the
cfgSave
command.
12.
Configure the new switch. If you saved the original configuration with the
configUpload
command, use the
configDownload
command to restore it.
Otherwise, use the
configure
command. (You may need to consult your site
s
SAN administrator or your Brocade representative for the correct configuration
information.)
