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".
For details, refer to "9.4 Replacing Servers".
If the target server is running Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 or Citrix XenServer, after completing the steps described in "9.4 Replacing Servers", log in with administrative privileges on the managed server and run the following command.
# /usr/local/sbin/macbindconfig update <RETURN> |
[Xen]
When using Citrix XenServer, log in from the console and run the following command. After running the command, reinstall XenServer referring to the Citrix XenServer manual.
# /usr/local/sbin/macbindconfig update <RETURN> |
When using Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 Virtualization (Xen-Based), perform the following procedure.
Execute the following command to temporally disable automatic startup of the xend daemon and then restart the managed server.
# chkconfig xend off <RETURN> |
Once the server has restarted, execute the following commands to update MAC address bindings, re-enable automatic startup of the xend daemon, and restart the xend daemon itself.
# /usr/local/sbin/macbindconfig update <RETURN> |
[Linux]
When the configuration of server components has been changed, check the configuration file of the OS, and make any necessary corrections. For details, refer to "Configuration File Check" in "2.2.1.1 Software Preparation and Checks" of the "ServerView Resource Coordinator VE Installation Guide".
Replacing a GSPB
The procedure used to replace a GSPB is the same as that described in "Replacing a network interface".
Replace NIC with GSPB in the procedure.
Replacing an HBA
The procedure used to replace an HBA is the same as that described in "9.4 Replacing Servers".
For details, refer to "9.4 Replacing Servers".
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 the boot disk's content was backed up, restore it.
Information
The backup and restore functions available in Resource Coordinator VE can be used to restore the boot disk contents.
For details, refer to "Chapter 8 Backup and Restore".
Replacing a system board
The procedure used to replace a system board is the same as that described in "9.4 Replacing Servers".
For details, refer to "9.4 Replacing Servers".
Replacing an IO board
No specific action is required in Resource Coordinator VE when replacing an IO board.
Replacing other server components
No specific action is required in Resource Coordinator VE when replacing onboard server components like memory modules or other parts.
