4. Reconnect the cable to the replacement SFP module.
Committing the new I/O ports
You must commit the new I/O ports before they can be used.
Procedure
1. In Unisphere, select System View.
2. Select the DPE and select Commit IO Ports.
Note
Committing I/O ports requires multiple reboots of the SPs and may take up to
an hour to complete. You can find I/O ports commit and SP reboot status
details on Service
>
Logs. During these reboots you will temporarily lose
Unisphere connectivity.
After this process completes, the new I/O ports have been successfully
committed into the system.
If the commit of the new I/O ports fails, please wait 15 minutes for the system
to fully boot and then re-attempt the commit process.
