Replacing a HyperFabric Switch
If you need to replace a faulty HyperFabric switch, follow these steps:
Step 1. If you do not have an HA environment, stop HyperFabric on all nodes
that are connected to the faulty switch. (See “Stopping HyperFabric” on
page 144.)
If you have an HA environment with two switches (where the backup
switch will have taken over when the first switch failed), disconnect all
cables attached to the faulty switch.
Step 2. Install a new switch. (See “Installing HyperFabric Switches” on
page 64.)
Step 3. If you stopped HyperFabric on all nodes connected to the switch (in step
1), start it on those nodes. (See “Starting HyperFabric” on page 125.)
