Replacing a Failed Switch
The archive/restore works for all switches. However, the Restore menu item is not
available for the in-band switches. You can only restore a switch out-of-band (the
fabric management switch). There are certain parameters that are not archived,
and these are not restored by QuickTools. Refer to
”Archiving a Switch” on
page 4-28 and ”Restoring a Switch” on page 4-29 for information about archive
and restore. Use the following procedure to replace a failed switch for which an
archive is available.
1. At the failed switch:
a. Turn off the power and disconnect the AC cords.
b. Note port locations and remove the interconnection cables and SFPs.
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 SFPs using the same ports as were used on the failed
switch.
c. Attach the AC cords and power up the switch.
3. Restore the configuration from the failed switch to the replacement switch:
CAUTION!
Do not reconnect inter-switch links, target devices, and
initiator devices at this time. Doing so could invalidate
the fabric zoning configuration.
