Configuring Redundancy Options
Installing and Enabling Redundant Hardware
The standard switch configuration does not include a redundant controller
or element. The correct process is to:
■
Install the redundant hardware. See “ Installing Redundant
Hardware .”
■
Enable the redundant hardware by using either the Web Agent or the
CLI. See “
Enabling Redundant Hardware .”
After the redundant hardware is enabled, the applicable redundant
component takes over if either a controller or any element fails.
Installing Redundant Hardware
To install redundant hardware:
1. Turn off all of the switch power supplies.
2. Replace the Primary switch controller with the new switch controller.
This ensures that the switch checks the status of the new switch
controller.
3. Insert the previously Primary switch controller into the Redundant
Controller Slot 1 (see Figure 10-1 for a P580 or Figure 10-2 for a P882).
* Note: Controllers and elements are keyed to ensure that a controller is
not inserted into an element slot.
4. Install the redundant element into the redundant element slot 0 for the
P580, (see Figure 10-1 ), or slot 6 for the P882, (see Figure 10-2 ).
5. Turn on the switch power supplies and log in.
6. Enable the Redundant Hardware as described in the next section.
Enabling Redundant Hardware
Web Agent
Procedure
To enable redundant hardware using the Web Agent:
1. Select Switch Fabric from the System > Configuration group on the
Web Agent window. The Switch Fabric Status dialog box opens.
