Configuring Vital Product Data after a switch replacement
After you replace a RackSwitch, you must update the new switch with the VPD of
the RackSwitch being removed to avoid losing the licensed electronic entitlement
data of the RackSwitch. The VPD includes the model and serial number of the
switch. For more information on locating the VPD, see “Before installing the
RackSwitch” on page 15.
To update the VPD on a new switch, complete the following steps.
1. Log in to the switch and in the CLI mode, type
RS G8000>ibmnos
2. At the Password prompt, enter the switch password, and press Enter. The
default password is
admin
.
3. In the main menu, enter the machine-type model (MTM) number for the
replacement switch. For example:
/boot/mtm 1455-64C
where
1455-64C
is the MTM of the unit that is being replaced
4. Enter the serial number for the replacement switch. For example:
/boot/esn 1000001
where
1000001
is the serial number of the unit that is being replaced.
5. Reset the switch using the following command:
/boot/reset
6. When prompted to confirm the reset, enter
y
. The switch reboots.
7. After the switch reboots, at the command prompt, verify that the VPD
information is correct by issuing the
show sys-info
command using the ISCLI
interface or the
/info/sys/general
command using MenuCLI interface.
ISCLI interface output example:
show sys-info
