Procedures for Preparing ServerNet/FX Adapters for
PMF CRU Replacement
If the primary FOX monitor process is not running on a processor in the enclosure
containing the PMF CRU to be replaced, go to Task 3: Replace the PMF CRU; if it is
running on a processor in the enclosure containing the PMF CRU to be replaced
continue on to Task 2: Switch the primary FOX monitor process to its backup.
Task 2: Switch the primary FOX monitor process to its backup
To switch the primary processor for the FOX monitor process to the backup processor,
issue the following ServerNet/FX adapter subsystem SCF command:
SCF> PRIMARY $ZZFOX, n
where n is the processor where the backup process is running.
Task 3: Replace the PMF CRU
To replace one or more PMF CRUs, use the Replace PMF guided replacement tool.
Replace PMF is a graphical user interface (GUI) that guides you step by step through
the replacement process. Using Replace PMF is now the only supported method for
replacing a PMF CRU.
To access the Replace PMF guided procedure in OSM:
1. Log on to the OSM Service Connection
2. Right-click the PMF CRU you want to replace and select Actions
3. Select Replace from the list of available actions
4. Click Perform Action. This action launches the guided procedure interface, which
guides you through the CRU replacement process.
To access Replace PMF from TSM, start from the toolbar located on the desktop of
your TSM console. Navigate to the replacement tool as follows:
START > Programs > Compaq TSM > Guided Replacement Tools> Replace PMF
Task 4: Verify the backup FOX monitor process is running
To verify that the backup FOX monitor process is running after the processor reloads,
issue the following ServerNet/FX adapter subsystem SCF command:
SCF> INFO PROCESS $ZZFOX
The following shows an example of a ServerNet/FX adapter subsystem SCF INFO
PROCESS command.
SCF> INFO PROCESS $ZZFOX
