Configure the Replacement Switch

---

Caution  -  Do not connect any network or fabric cables until instructed to do so.

---

1. Remove the Customer Information sheet from the shipping carton of the replacement switch.
2. Record the serial number, primary MAC ID, and secondary MAC ID.

   The primary MAC ID is the SP MAC ID, the secondary MAC ID is the SCP MAC ID.

3. Secure the Customer Information sheet in a safe place.
4. Consider your next steps.
   • If you will assign IP addresses to the SP and SCP through DHCP, configure your DHCP server now.

     Go to Step 5.

   • If you will assign static IP addresses to the SP and SCP through the SER MGT port, go to Step 8.
5. Log in to the DHCP server and configure it to assign a predetermined IP address and host name for the SP MAC ID you recorded.

   Use the same IP address and host name as was for the switch you removed.

6. Configure the DHCP server to assign a predetermined IP address and host name for the SCP MAC ID you recorded.

   Use the same IP address and host name as was for the switch you removed.

7. Go to Step 9.
8. Using the SER MGT port, configure the replacement switch with the same host name and network management parameters as the switch you removed.

   See Access the SP (SER MGT Port) and Configure and Enable Network Management (SER MGT Port).

9. Attach a single network management cable.

   See Install a Data Cable.

10. Access the SP.

    See Access the SP (RJ-45 Port)

11. Restore the Oracle ILOM configuration.

    The SEFOS configuration will be restored as well. Refer to the Oracle EDR InfiniBand Switch and Virtualized I/O Systems Administration Guide.

12. Access the SCP.

    See Access the SCP (RJ-45 Port).

13. Set the priority to the lowest.

    Refer to the Oracle Fabric Manager 5.0 Administration Guide.

14. Restore the switch configuration previously backed up.
    1. Restore the Oracle Fabric Manager configuration on the switch.

       Refer to the Oracle Fabric Manager 5.0 Administration Guide.

    2. Restore the Oracle Fabric OS configuration on the switch.

       Refer to the Oracle Fabric OS 1.0 Administration Guide.

15. Completely power off the replacement switch.

    See Power Off a Power Supply.

16. Connect the replacement switch to the network and the fabric.

    See Install a Data Cable.

17. Power on the replacement switch.

    See Power On a Power Supply.

    Wait for any negotiation and propagation to complete.

18. Perform these steps using Oracle Fabric Manager.

    Refer to the Oracle Fabric Manager 5.0 Administration Guide.

    1. Migrate the partition configuration from the master Subnet Manager.

       Wait for the partition configuration to propagate to the replacement switch.

    2. Enable security features from the master Subnet Manager.

       Wait for the security policies to propagate to the replacement switch.

    3. Configure the Subnet Manager nodes list and fabric configuration file for the replacement switch, and ensure that the list and file are consistent with other switch lists and files.
    4. (Optional) Set the priority of the replacement switch to that originally of the removed switch.

       Wait for any handover to complete.

19. Install the snap brackets.
