8.8 Reenable Disabled ServerNet Ports on both
fabrics
Step Action Result
1. In the tree pane of OSM or TSM, navigate to
the processor enclosure to which the removed
enclosure was connected. Expand the group
and module so you can see the MSEBs (or
SEBs).
2. Right click the Y-fabric MSEB and select
Actions.
The actions dialog box appears.
3. Select Enable ServerNet (Router) Port and click
Perform Action.
4. Follow the screen prompts to disable the
appropriate ServerNet port.
5. Right click the X-fabric MSEB and select
Actions.
The actions dialog box appears.
6. Select Enable ServerNet (Router) Port and click
Perform Action.
7. Follow the screen prompts to disable the
appropriate ServerNet port.
8. If you are removing a processor enclosure that
is connected to other processor enclosures,
repeat steps 1 through 7 for the appropriate
ServerNet ports on those enclosures.
9. Close the Actions dialog box The tree pane reappears.
