Moving a BES from one EG to another EG in the same fabric

2. Enter the following command to propagate the change throughout the EG:

cryptocfg --commit

3. Remove the blade from DCX1, slot 4 and plug into DCX2, slot 3.

4. Add the moved blade as a member node to EG2.

Moving a BES from one EG to another EG in the same fabric

In this example, which is represented in Table 17, you have two EGs, each containing two nodes.

You want to move BES2 from EG1 to EG2.

1. Enter the following command on BES1 to reclaim the VI/VT WWN base for the Brocade

Encryption Switch to be moved out of EG1.

cryptocfg --reclaimWWN —membernode <BES1_WWN>

When prompted, answer yes.

2. Enter the following command to propagate the change throughout the EG:

cryptocfg --commit

3. Enter the following command in BES1 to eject node BES2 from the EG:

cryptocfg --eject -membernode <BES2-WWN>

4. Enter the following command on BES1 to deregister the ejected node from the encryption

group:

cryptocfg --dereg -membernode <BES2-WWN>

5. Enter the following command on BES2 to clean up the encryption configuration on the

deregistered node:

cryptocfg –-reclaimWWN –cleanup

When prompted, enter yes to each prompt.

6. Add BES2 as a member node to EG2.
