Procedure for Replacing a QLogic HBA in Stratus ftServers without Rebooting

EMC CLARiiON Use of this procedure requires NAVICLI installed on the host system. Storage arrays

1.Remove the IO slice that contains the defective QLogic HBA.

2.Replace the defective HBA with a new HBA of same Stratus part number (that is, U525 or U526). The HBA should be inserted into the same PCI slot from which the defective HBA was removed.

(Inserting the replacement HBA into another PCI slot requires a driver to be loaded for the HBA)

3.Re-insert IO slice with the new HBA, and re-connect all cables.

4.Power up the ftServer, and let the IO Slice come on-line and duplex, as shown in the Stratus ftServer Management tool.

5.Change the FC switch zoning to add the WWN of the replaced HBA to the appropriate zones.

6.Restart the Navisphere Agent using the Service Control Manager applet.

7.In the CLARiiON Navisphere Manager, use connectivity status to verify the new HBA is present and logged in. Alternately, use the port ‘list’ command in navicli.

8.Using navicli, connect the HBA to the storage group with the following command:

navicli –h <Clariion IP Addr> storagegroup –connecthost –host <host-name>-gname <Storage-group-name>

This command will give the user the following prompt:

Connect host <host-name>to storage group <Storage-group-name> (y/n)?

Respond with y.

9.Scan for hardware changes from the Windows device manager.
