7 Replacing Fibre Channel cards
VTL over Fibre Channel
If using only VTL over Fibre Channel, no further configuration is required when replacing the
Fibre Channel card.
StoreOnce Catalyt over Fibre Channel
If using StoreOnce Catalyst over Fibre Channel there are replacement considerations. The World
Wide Port Name (WWPN) and World Wide Node Name (WWNN) of the StoreOnce Catalyst over
Fibre Channel device presented on a StoreOnce Fibre Channel port currently uses the WWPN
/ WWNN of the FC card. StoreOnce generated WWPNs / WWNNs are not used.
Replacing the FC card will result in a new Catalyst over Fibre Channel WWPN / WWNN.
After replacing a FC card the StoreOnce user must rezone clients with the new WWPN / WWNN.
The replaced port will not be seen by clients until this rezoning is performed.
