4 Relocating an FCSA
This section describes how to relocate an FCSA that has been previously installed in
an IOAM enclosure.
Overview of FCSA Replacement Procedures
When you move an FCSA but retain the path to the ESS, you can retain many of the
DISK attributes, but you must use the SCF ALTER command to change the location
and backup location attributes.
In addition, you might need to have the ESS or FC switch administrators update the
WWN zones in the SAN with the FCSA’s new location so that the new paths work.
However, you might not need to update the zoning only if the FCSA is being moved
and the external connections remain the same. Update the zoning if the FCSA is being
moved and the external connections are being reconfigured logically and physically.
Check with the ESS or FC switch administrators to see if the relocation procedure that
you are planning requires an update to the WWN zoning.
Note. An FCSA can be relocated without shutting down the system.

Note. Whenever you handle an FCSA, follow standard operating practices to avoid damage to
the equipment. See Review Standard Operating Practices on page 4-3.
Note. Up to 256 DISK objects can be configured on an FCSA SAC.
Note. Adding or updating WWNs in the ESS is not required if the FCSA ports are directly
connected to the ESS FC ports.
