2. Determine any differences between the information in the SANafter.txt le and the information in the
SANbefor.txt le created earlier. In particular, look for differences in the following:
• Device types
• Number of devices
• ISL and port states
• Number of switches in the fabric
3. Resolve any issues or unintentional changes to the device or fabric:
• If there are any mechanical problems, try reseating the associated component.
• If the conguration information is not correct for the device, modify as required.
• If other issues exist, contact your support provider.
IBM service replacement responsibilities
IBM System Services Representatives (SSR) are responsible for the physical replacement and labeling of
the chassis. The SSR performs the following tasks during the replacement:
1. “Disconnecting the cables” on page 77
2. “Remove the old switch chassis and install the new switch chassis” on page 78
Disconnecting the cables
Procedure
1. Power off the chassis by disconnecting both power cords from the power supplies and the power
sources. Set the cords aside for use with the new installation.
2. After ensuring that the cables are properly labeled, and the port connection information is recorded,
disconnect the cables and transceivers from the ports. Use the pull tab on the 16 Gbps SFP+
transceivers to remove the ber cable and the attached SFP+ at the same time (see “Installing an SFP
+ transceiver” on page 49).
