show ip ethernet for the IP address.

show switch for the fabric operating mode.

show zoning for the zone configuration.

3. After the original switch has been powered down, power up the new

switch and set the IP address to the old switchʹs address to allow EWS

access. The IP address can be set either from the serial port or by

connecting to the current, possibly default, IP address. Verify that the

new switch responds to the IP address.

4. Connect to the EWS and take the switch offline using the Operations >

Switch > Online State tab.

5. Make the switch operating mode and domain ID acceptable to the

original fabric. This can be done either by consulting the fabric or by

taking the values from the information saved in step 2. This procedure

might include changing the default zone setting as directed by EWS

when changing interoperation mode. Any existing zone configuration

on the replacement switch should be removed to allow the fabric to

properly communicate current zoning when the switch joins the

fabric.

6. Add the private community to the Configure > Management > SNMP

tab and ensure that it is write enabled.

7. Connect the FC connectors to the new switch. Be sure to plug them

into the same ports as on the original switch.

8. Bring the switch online.

The new switch should now connect to the rest of the fabric. Verify that

the HBAs on the servers log into the new switch in the expected locations.

To ensure a highly available configuration after the switch has been

replaced, verify that all servers have eligible I/O paths through the

replaced switch. For example, you can use the PowerPath powermt

command to do this.
