This section explains how to replace server components.
Replacing a network interface
The procedure used to replace a network interface is the same as that described in "9.4 Replacing Servers".
Refer to "9.4 Replacing Servers" for details.
If the target server is running Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5, log in with administrative privileges on the server and run the following command.
# /usr/local/sbin/macbindconfig update <RETURN> |
Replacing an HBA
The procedure used to replace an HBA is the same as that described in "9.4 Replacing Servers".
Refer to "9.4 Replacing Servers" for details.
When using I/O virtualization, the replacement HBA will automatically inherit the WWN originally set on the replaced HBA. Therefore, there is no need to re-configure access paths on the storage side.
Replacing a boot disk (in local-boot environments)
Use the following procedure to replace a boot disk.
Replace the faulty boot disk with a new one.
If a backup of the original boot disk was taken, restore it to the new replacement disk.
Information
The backup and restore functions available in Resource Coordinator VE can be used to restore the boot disk contents.
Refer to "Chapter 8 Backup and Restore" for details.
Replacing other server components
No specific action is required in Resource Coordinator VE when replacing onboard server components like memory modules or other parts.
