Replacement Procedure

Control Processor Blade (CP8) Replacement Procedure 5
53-1001806-01
This is an example of failing over a CP blade:
Fabric OS (cp1)
cp1 login: admin
Password:
swDir:admin> hashow
Local CP (Slot 7, CP1): Active
Remote CP (Slot 6, CP0): Standby, Healthy
HA enabled, Heartbeat Up, HA State synchronized
swDir:admin> hafailover
Local CP (Slot 7, CP1): Active
Remote CP (Slot 6, CP0): Standby, Healthy
HA enabled, Heartbeat Up, HA State synchronized
Warning: This command is being run on a redundant control
processor(CP) system. If the above status does not indicate
'HA State synchronized', then the CPs are not synchronized
and this operation will cause the active CP to reset. This
will cause disruption to devices attached to both switch 0
and switch 1 and will require that existing Telnet sessions
be restarted. To reboot a single logical switch on this
system, use the switchreboot command while logged in to
that logical switch.
Are you sure you want to fail over to the standby CP [y/n]?
swDir:admin> haShow
Local CP (Slot 7, CP1) : Standby, Healthy
Remote CP (Slot 6, CP0) : Active
HA Enabled, Heartbeat Up, HA State Synchronized
4. Type firmwareShow to note the firmware version of the active CP blade.
5. Type haDisable from the active CP blade to prevent failover or communication between the CP blades during the
replacement.
6. Logged into the active CP, use the configUpload command to upload the backbone configuration to a specified
FTP server. Enter information at the prompts.
NOTE
For FOS 6.2.0 and above, the format of the command will look different from the example below. See the Fabric
OS Command Reference Manual and the Fabric OS Administrator’s Guide for more information about the
command.
This is a sample of backing up the configuration files:
swDir:admin> configUpload
Protocol (scp or ftp) [ftp]: ftp
Server Name or IP Address [host]: 123.456.78.90
User Name [None]: user
File Name [config.txt]: config.txt
Password: xxxxxxxx
upload complete
Once the upload is complete, stay logged in and move on to “Removing a control processor blade (CP8).”
