Notes

Make sure that the system administrator varies devices offline that are attached to the ports

Ports that you are going to swap are blocked during this procedure, as swapping ports is
disruptive to port operation.
Collect maintenance data
The Data Collection option enables you to collect maintenance data that can help support
personnel diagnose system problems. Save the maintenance data as a zip file on a backup disk (or

NOTE:
If the Full Volatility feature is enabled through the director’s maintenance port, a memory
dump file is not included with the data collection.
To use this option, follow the detailed steps in the HP StorageWorks Director 2/64 service manual
for the Director 2/64 and the HP StorageWorks Director 2/140 service manual for the Director
2/140.
