Swapping Ports

Use the port swap procedure to swap a device connection and logical port address from a failed Fibre Channel port to an operational port. Because both ports are blocked during the procedure, switch communication with the attached device is momentarily disrupted.

To perform the port swap procedure for a pair of switch ports (S/390 mode only):

1.Notify the customer a port swap procedure will be performed and a fiber-optic cable or cables will be disconnected. Ensure the customer’s system administrator quiesces Fibre Channel frame traffic through the ports and sets attached devices offline.

2.At the HAFM server, open the HAFM application. The Product View displays.

3.Select (click) the icon representing the switch for which the loopback test will be performed. The Hardware View for the selected switch displays.
