Replacing the Switch

In some cases, you may need to replace a Cisco MDS 9124e Switch. To replace a Cisco MDS

9124e switch in the HP BladeSystem c-Class enclosure:

1.Create a backup of the existing configuration file. As a best practice, regularly back up the Cisco MDS 9124e Switch configuration to a remote server. Do this for each switch in the SAN whenever you change the configuration. You can back up the configuration using either the command-line interface (CLI) on the Cisco MDS 9124e Switch, Device Manager, or Fabric Manager.

2.Disconnect all external fibre channel cables from the Cisco MDS 9124e Switch.

3.Remove the Cisco MDS 9124e Switch from the c-Class enclosure.

4.Insert the new Cisco MDS 9124e Switch into the c-Class enclosure where the previous Cisco MDS 9124e Switch was removed.

5.Log in to the CLI of the c-Class Onboard Administrator.

6.Connect to the console of the Cisco MDS 9124e Switch by issuing the following command:

OA> connect interconnect x

Where x is the interconnect bay number where the switch is installed.
