Removing the CPU Module

To remove the CPU module, do the following:

1.Determine the firmware version. Open a Telnet session and enter the Show Version command to determine the current firmware version. Make note of the firmware version. If the switch is inaccessible, you can obtain the firmware version from another switch in the fabric or records you may have kept. Refer to ”Show Command” on page B-43for more information.

2.Configure the Telnet window to log output to a file. Enter the Show Support command to document the switch and capture the output on a file.

3.Back up the switch configuration. Enter the Config Backup command to back up the switch configuration to a file on the switch named configdata. You can also back up the switch configuration using the Archive function in the SANbox Manager application. Refer to the SANbox2-64 Switch Management User’s Guide for more information.

4.Back up the event log. Enter the Set Log Archive command to back up the event log to a file on the switch named logfile.

5.Download the configuration and log files to your workstation. Open an FTP session to download the configdata and logfile files onto your workstation. Later, you will restore the switch configuration using the configdata file.

ftp <ip_address> User: images Password: images ftp> binary

ftp> get configdata ftp> get logfile ftp> bye

6.Power down the switch. Open a Telnet session and enter the Shutdown command then disconnect the power cords from the power supplies.

7.Label and disconnect the Fibre Channel port cables. This will avoid compromising security and prevent data corruption when the switch is powered up with the new CPU module. Label I/O blades by slot number. I/O blade slots are numbered 1–4 and 6–9. Label Fibre Channel port cables by slot number and port number. Ports on each I/O blade are numbered 0–7 from top to bottom.
