Replacing a HyperFabric Switch
If you need to replace a faulty HyperFabric switch, follow these steps:
Step 1. If you do not have an HA environment, stop HyperFabric on all nodes that are connected
to the faulty switch. (See “Stopping HyperFabric” on page 110.)
If you have an HA environment with two switches (where the backup switch will have
taken over when the first switch failed), disconnect all cables attached to the faulty
switch.
Step 2. Install a new switch. (See “Installing HyperFabric Switches” on page 52.)
Step 3. If you stopped HyperFabric on all nodes connected to the switch (in step 1), start it on
those nodes. (See “Starting HyperFabric” on page 95.)
