5.2.6.2 Dynamic Reconfigurations
CDA 7 supports dynamic reconfiguration activity without disruption to online
applications, such as:
• Establish/de-establish mirrored pairs.
• Modify channel assignments.
5.2.6.3 Online SCSI-to-Fibre Channel Migration
Beginning with CDA 7 microcode revision 5265, CDA 7 systems with SCSI
channel directors can be upgraded to Fibre Channel directors without taking non-
SCSI channels offline and without requiring a backup and restore of data. This
capability allows customers with SCSI channels to take advantage of the
connectivity and distance features offered with Fibre Channel directors. Bull
Customer Engineers use a new utility to perform the migration.
NOTE:
For more information on Fibre Channel migration, consult your Bull sales
representative.
