This section explains the replacement procedure for Fibre Channel switch (hereafter, refer to switch) registered in this software.
When [View] - [Refresh] is executed by resource view when the replacement of the switch has already been completed, a new switch is replaced with the old switch icon and is displayed in violet. In this case, execute the replacement procedure from "Registration of the new switch to this software" in step 4. Since, however, the addition work is required when performance monitoring has been set for an old switch, contact Fujitsu system engineer (SE).
Stop of performance monitoring to switch to be replaced
(When it is not a monitoring device, this operation is unnecessary.)
When switch is to be replaced is as performance monitoring device, the performance monitoring is stopped by [Performance management] - [Stop] of the pop-up menu. However, execute the performance monitoring stop after stopping the threshold monitoring when monitoring the threshold. The "P" mark displayed on the left of the object device icon disappears after stopping the performance monitoring.
Registration and deletion of switch to be replaced
Select [File] - [Delete] from the menu bar of either the SAN view, and delete the replacement target switch from the devices registered with this software. When deletion from the registered devices is completed, the GUI window no longer displays the icon of the target device.
Physical replacement of old and new switch
As for the replacement work for the device, contact a FUJITSU engineer (CE) and perform the replacement according to the maintenance procedure manual for the device.
When replacing a switch that is not connected in cascade, you may have to manually perform zoning settings again if the switch configuration information (configUpload file) has not been stored. After registering the new switch in this software, perform Step 5, "Setting of switch zoning" below. For details of the switch configuration information (configUpload file), see the manual that comes with this device.
Registration of new switch to this software
Register new switch to resource of this software.
Search of new switch
Select [File] - [Detect SAN devices] from menu bar of the Base domain view from storage category and detect the new switch. When the object device is detected, the icon is displayed in violet. (For details, refer to "5.2.1 Device search".)
Registration of the new switch to this software
Select [File] - [Register] - [Register SAN devices] from menu bar of Switch view from SAN catagory, and register the device to this software. When registration is normally completed, new switch is displayed by a green icon. (For details, refer to "5.2.2 Adding a device (changing from the violet icon state to the registered state)".)
Setting of switch zoning
If zoning has been set, a cascade connection has not been set, and configuration information (the configUpload file) has not been saved for the previous switch (that which is being replaced), it is necessary to set the zoning manually.
If zoning has not been set or a cascade connection has been set for the switch, there is no need to set the zoning manually.
If there is configuration information (the configUpload file), refer to the maintenance manual for the device.
The access path will be displayed as yellow color, because the old switch, which is managed by this software, zoning setting does not exist. These access paths are displayed as definition conflicts because the new switch does not have the zoning information that was stored on the switch defined for access paths in this software. Specify the following:
Set the access path displayed in the yellow between HBA-CA again. Set the access path to which yellow is displayed based on the procedure of the access path setting again. When the settings were successfully made, the access path is displayed in green or blue.
Note
When the zoning in the switch is set by zonings (Between HBA-HBA, CA-CA, HBA-UnknownFC, CA-UnknownFC, and UnknowFC-UnknownFC) other than the access path route between HBA-CA on the management of this software, the access path of those zonings are not displayed in the Side view at all regardless of before and after the replacement. Therefore, there is no alarm display of the access path definition contradiction between above-mentioned HBA-CA after replacing the switch. Execute the access path setting with this software again in HBA-HBA and CA-CA, set the zoning with Web Tools of the switch or set the zoning by the telnet command to the switch when zonings other than the access path route between HBA-CA has been set with old switch.
Performance monitoring beginning setting to new switch
(When it is not a monitoring device, this operation is unnecessary.)
Execute the following when switch is a device to be the performance-monitored.
Start the performance monitoring by selecting [Performance management] - [Start] from the pop-up menu. When the performance monitoring setting is normally done and the monitoring is begun, the "P" mark of green is displayed on the left of the icon. (See "Chapter 7 Performance Management" for details.)
Moreover, do the threshold monitoring setting again when the threshold monitoring setting is done. (Refer to "7.3 Flow of Threshold Monitoring" for details.)
