Replacing a Failed Switch
Use the following procedure to replace a failed switch for which an archive is
available.
1. Turn off the power to the failed switch and disconnect the AC cords. Note
port locations and remove the interconnection cables and small form-factor
pluggable (SFPs).
2. Remove the failed switch.
3. Mount the replacement switch in the location where the failed switch was
removed.
4. Install the SFPs using the same ports that were used on the failed switch.
Do not reconnect inter-switch links, target devices, and initiator devices at
this time. Doing so could invalidate the fabric zoning configuration.
5. Attach the AC cords and power up the switch.
6. Connect the Ethernet port to the LAN used for Enterprise Fabric Suite and
configure the IP address using the Network Properties dialog box or the
Configuration Wizard.
7. Restore the configuration on the replacement switch:
a. Open a new fabric through the replacement switch.
b. On the faceplate display for the replacement switch on the Switch
menu, click Restore.
c. In the Restore dialog box, enter the archive file from the failed switch
or browse for the file.
d. Click Restore.
8. On the Switch menu, click Reset Switch to reset the replacement switch to
activate the configuration. This configuration comes from the failed switch,
including the domain ID and the zoning database.
