Procedure for replacing a QLogic adapter in Stratus ftServers without rebooting
173
Miscellaneous Planning and Procedures
Type y.
9. Scan for hardware changes from the Windows device manager.
10. Execute the following commands from a command window:
powermt restore
powermt display
At this point, two adapters should be present in the display and
the FC adapters should be duplexed in the ftSMC. It may be
necessary to repeat steps 9 and 10.
EMC Symmetrix arrays with device masking enabled

Use of this procedure requires SYMCLI installed on the host system (part of
the EMC Solutions Enabler suite). Alternatively, EMC ControlCenter can be
used to perform the adapter replacement.
1. Using SYMCLI, run symmask list logins to view the old
WWN/iSCSI adapters.
2. Remove all cables to the IO slice with the defective adapter, and
remove the IO slice.
3. Replace the defective QLogic adapter with the new adapter of
same Stratus part number (that is, U525 or U526). The adapter
should be inserted into same PCI slot from which the defective
adapter was removed. (Inserting the replacement adapter into
another PCI slot requires a driver to be loaded for the adapter.)
4. Reinsert the IO slice with the new adapter, and reconnect all
cables.
5. Let the IO Slice come online and duplex, as shown in the Stratus
ftServer Management tool.
6. Change the FC switch zoning to add the WWN of the replaced
adapter to the appropriate zones.
7. Run
symmask list hba or discover to view the new initiator
(for example, WWN).
1. Symmetrix Arrays without device masking enabled do not require this procedure; Symmetrix Arrays
with device masking enabled only require replacing the adapter WWN used in switch zoning.
