0.7 Switch Replacement
Note – To perform the tasks in switch replacement you must have access to a
SANsurfer GUI with network access to a working switch in the Fabric. You must
also have SuperUser (root) access within the GUI.
Note – You can use only a switch with factory default settings as a replacement
switch.
■ The procedures for switch replacement need to be used with the SANBox-8/16
Switch Management User’s Manual Sun StorEdge network FC switch 3.0 (part number
875-3143, Rev. R19).
