8.2.2 Replacing Faulty Parts and Faulty Device at Manually Embedded Device Failure

If WWPN is changed because of a faulty component of a manually embedded device such as an adapter (CA) or drive is replaced, this software cannot automatically detect the replacement. Perform the following operation manually to execute access path inheritance:

  1. Select [View] - [Refresh] from the menu.

  2. Double-click the replaced device in the SAN view to display the view of the device. The figure on the lower left shows an example of the view before replacement of the adapter (CA), and the figure on the lower right shows an example of the view after replacement of the adapter (CA). Because the Fibre Channel switch cannot recognize the old adapter, the icon of the old adapter is in the "timeout" state.

  3. Embed the new adapter into the target storage device. To do so, open the Manual Configuration window, search for the [Unknown] icon of the new adapter, and drag the icon and drop it on the device. After completion of embedding, exit the Manual Configuration window. An example of the Manual Configuration window is shown below. The new adapter connected to port 5 of the Fibre Channel switch is embedded into the storage device.

  4. In the "Storage view" in which no icon is selected, select [Operation] - [Access Path] - [Inherit] - [Mode Start] from the menu. A dialog box appears with the message "The access path inheritance operation will be enabled". A port through which this software cannot recognize a device connected to the Fibre Channel switch is displayed as an Unknown FC port in a white square icon connected to the Fibre Channel switch. If a new HBA corresponds to this icon, perform the following operation assuming the icon is the new HBA.

  5. Under this condition, drag the new adapter icon and drop it on the old adapter icon. A dialog box appears confirming whether to inherit the access path. Select <OK> button to inherit the access path. During inheritance processing, this software deletes the access path setting from the related devices that was created in the old adapter information and adds the access path setting created in new adapter information to the related devices.

    Fiber channel switch

    With zoning setting

    Deletes one-to-one WWPN zoning created with an old adapter WWPN and uses one-to-one WWPN zoning created with a new adapter WWPN (no setting if access path inheritance is not required because of port zoning)

    Without zoning setting

    No setting
    However, when "Operation for setting WWPN zoning" has been selected for the Fibre Channel switch, a dialog box allowing the user to enable or disable the zoning setting is displayed.

    *1: This software does not change the fjpfca.conf setting if the chgfcctl/clchgfc command included with the PW008FC2A, PW008FC2-G, PW008FC3, GP7B8FC1A, GP7B8FC1-G, GP7B8FC1, SE0X7F11F, SE0X7F12F driver is executed before access path inheritance.

  6. Access path inheritance by drag & drop can be performed for multiple adapters until <End> button is selected from the "The access path inheritance operation will be enabled" dialog box.

  7. A server node that does not support hot configuration change must be restarted after the setting is changed.
