Replacing the Primary Controller

If a primary controller fails, you are notified by:

A console message

An event log message

The following error message that displays in the Switch
controller
field on the Switch Status dialog box:

If the switch is installed with a redundant controller that has been
enabled, the redundant controller automatically takes over the
operation of the failed primary controller.

To replace the primary controller:

group on the web agent window. The Switch Fabric Status
dialog box opens (Figure 7-3).

2. Select No from the Configure Redundant Hardware field

pull-down menu.

3. Click APPLY to disable the primary controller.

4. Power off the switch power supplies.

WARNING

To avoid bodily harm and equipment damage, you must power
off the switch before you remove switch controllers or elements.

5. Remove the failed primary controller from the switch.

6. Replace with a good primary controller.

7. Power on the switch power supplies and login.

8. Refer to the "Enabling Redundant Hardware" section and

complete the procedure.

9. Re-select Switch Fabric from the System > Configuration

group on the web agent window. The Switch Fabric Status
dialog box re-displays with the Switch Controller field
displaying:
