If using the same IP addresses as the old System Director, make sure to shut down the old
System Director first to prevent an IP conflict.
7. Copy the Partition0 and Partition1 files (and PartitionDump.bin file if copied) into the
following location on the new System Director:
D:\Program Files\Avid\ISIS System Director\
8. Start the new System Director service using the ISIS Control Panel.
9. Verify that the System Director is now running. Start the Management Console and verify
that all workspaces are listed. If not, call customer support before continuing.
Network Switch Replacement
If replacing a switch in the ISIS environment, the following are a few suggestions you need to
consider before removing the switch.
• Have a backup copy of the switch configuration file.
• Disable any Link Aggregation that might be set in your ISIS 7500 | 7000 environment. This
prevents odd network behavior and the inevitable trunking errors.
• Disable any trunking to other switches before removing the switch. Any trunking involved
with the switch would be part of the configuration file and would help when reconfiguring
the trunk on the new switch.
• You do not have to shutdown the System Director or Engines when replacing a switch,
particularly if you have a redundant switch configuration.
To replace a switch you will need a console connection to the switch and a tftp server. The
following are high level steps that assumes the failed switch is still capable of making a tftp
backup. If the switch is completely dead, the configuration will need to either be restored from a
previous backup or manually configured.
To capture the switch configuration file:
1. Copy the startup configuration of the failed switch to the tftp server.
2. Install the replacement switch.
3. Configure a temporary interface on the new switch to connect to the tftp server (best to use a
no switchport interface with IP address on same subnet as TFTP server).
4. Copy the backup copy of the old switch startup configuration to the new switch (copy tftp
startup-config).
5. Reload the switch configuration and old switch configuration should be restored on the new
switch.
