Removing FX8-24 blades
ATTENTION
If you are permanently removing a blade from a DCX, DCX-4S, DCX 8510-8, or DCX 8510-4 chassis
to relocate to another slot in the chassis or you are removing the blade from the chassis entirely, you
must follow these procedures before removing the blade.
• Remove all FCIP configuration settings for the blade. If there are residual configuration
settings, they may cause issues with future configurations and upgrades.
• Delete the IP addresses assigned to the original slot using the portcfg ipif delete command. If
this is not done, you must return the FX8-24 blade to the original slot and delete the IP
addresses.
Firmware downloads
If FCIP Fibre Channel traffic is active on Fibre Channel ports, the traffic will be impacted during a
firmware download.
For FCIP, the best practice is to always operate both ends of the tunnel with the same level of Fabric
OS, down to the maintenance release. Fabric OS upgrades should be done on both ends of the
FCIP tunnel concurrently.
