Customer replacement responsibilities

Chassis replacement is a combined effort between the customer and the IBM System Services Representative (SSR). Before the IBM SSR can perform the physical replacement and labeling procedures, you must prepare your environment for chassis replacement by performing the following tasks:

• Determining the need to replace the chassis
• Preparing for replacement
• Recording critical device and SAN information
• Powering down the switch
• Disconnecting the cables
• Reconnecting system to the network and fabric
• Downloading the configuration
• Verifying correct operation of system
• Verifying correct configuration of the fabric
