3. Enter all remaining commands from the serial console for the active CP blade, unless
otherwise indicated. For more information about commands, refer to the Fabric OS Command
Reference.
4. If the active CP blade is faulted, automatic failover to the standby CP blade should have
occurred. Confirm that the standby CP blade is active and power off the faulted CP blade, log in
to standby CP blade, and skip to step 7.
If automatic failover has not occurred, manually failover the faulty blade by moving the slider to
the off position (down in the DCX 8510-8). Then power off the faulted blade, log in to standby
CP blade, and skip to step 7.
5. If both CP blades are healthy and you want to replace the standby CP blade, log in to the active
CP blade and skip to step 7.
6. If both CP blades are healthy and you want to replace the active CP blade, log in to the active
CP blade and run the following steps:
a. Run the haFailover command to make the standby CP blade the active blade. The currently
active CP blade becomes the standby blade. Wait until the status LED on the currently
active CP blade is no longer lit.
b. Confirm the completion of the failover by running the haShow command.
c. Log in to the new active CP blade.
7. Ru n firmwareShow to note the firmware version of the active CP blade.
The example below shows the results of the firmwareshow command when the firmware
versions on the two CP blades are not the same. Note the warning message at the end of the
output.

8. Run haDisable from the active CP blade to prevent failover or communication between the CP
blades during the replacement.
9. Use the configUpload command to upload the backbone configuration to a specified FTP
server. Enter information at the prompts.
a. Run the fosconfig --show command to determine if virtual fabrics are enabled. If so, run
the configupload -vf command. This command uploads the Brocade DCX 8510-8 virtual
fabric data.
b. If virtual fabrics are not enabled, run the configupload command. This command uploads
the Brocade DCX 8510-8 configuration.
