Power-down procedure
Use the following procedure to power down the chassis and replace both CP blades. You can replace a single CP blade
using the power-up procedures.
1. Remove the chassis door.
2. If you haven't already done so, enter configupload - all, specifying a file name for saving configuration data.
This saves all system configuration data including chassis and switch configuration for all logical switches to the file
name specified. For more information, refer to the Brocade Fabric OS Command Reference.
3. If you haven't already done so, enter configupload -vf, specifying a file name for saving configuration data.
This saves the backbone virtual fabric data to the file name specified. For more information, refer to the Brocade
Fabric OS Command Reference.
4. If you haven't already done so, enter configupload -map, specifying a folder name.
This command saves the port-to-area addressing mode configuration files to the folder specified. With Fabric OS
7.4.0, you need to upload the configuration with -map option in a FICON-enabled DCX 8510 chassis if port-bound
addressing is used. For more information, refer to the Brocade Fabric OS Command Reference.
