Router Removal and Replacement

The router removal and replacement procedure requires the router powered down, which means that all of the Fibre Channel and iSCSI connections will be lost.

Removal

To remove and replace a router, follow the applicable steps:

1.Make sure that all traffic (I/O operations to the router) is quiescent at the iSCSI initiator systems.

2.Save the configuration data of the router using the CLI fru command (see page A-10).

3.Power down the router.

4.Label all the cables so you can later connect them to the same ports on the replacement router.

5.Remove all the Fibre Channel and Ethernet cables.

6.Remove the router from the enclosure where it is mounted.

Replacement

Before replacing a router, you must first remove it (as described on page 6-2). To install a replacement router:

1.Mount the router in the enclosure.

2.Reconnect the Fibre Channel and Ethernet cables to the ports where they were previously connected.

3.Connect the power to the router.

4.Using a management station, configure the management port IP address, as described on page 4-6.

5.Using a management workstation, restore the saved configuration or reconfigure the router as desired (see page A-2).

The replacement router should now be operational.
