Perform the following steps:
|
a. Confirm that the standby CP blade is active using the haShow command.
|
|
b. Power off the faulted CP blade by loosening the captive screws on both ejector handles on the
blade using a #1 Phillips screwdriver. This disconnects power from the blade. The spring-loaded
|
captive screwswill pop out from the slot .63 cm (.25 in.) when fully disengaged.

If automatic fail over has not occurred, manually fail over the faulty blade by loosening the captive
|
screws on both ejector handles. As the screws loosen, the blade fails over and the amber status LED
|
will illuminate. Log into the standby CP blade, and skip to step 8.

If both CP blades are healthy and you want to replace the active CP blade, log in to the active CP
|
|
blade and run the following steps:
|

Run the haFailover command to make the standby CP blade the active blade. The currently
active CP blade becomes the standby blade. Wait until the status LED on the currently active CP
|
blade is no longer illuminated.
|
|
b.
Confirm the completion of the failover by running the haShow command.
Log in to the new active CP blade.
|
c.

Run firmwareShow to note the firmware version of the active CP blade.
|
The firmwareshow command will display a warning message if the firmware versions on the two CP
|
|
blades are not the same.
|
WARNING: The local CP and remote CP have different versions
|
of firmware, please retry firmwaredownload command.
