Preparing Fabric Interconnects in a UCS Domain For Removal, Intersight
Step 14
When the workflow is completed:
a) Verify that the Domain Profile is deployed.
b) Check that all discovery and inventory workflows are triggered and successful.
c) Verify that the Server Profile is deployed.
d) Verify that the Chassis Profile is deployed.
e) Ensure that all the correct switch policies are configured.
f) Verify that all required ports, port channels, virtual Ethernet and virtual Fibre Channel interfaces are
configured and up on both fabric interconnects.
g) Verify that the removed fabric interconnect is deleted from the Fabric Interconnects list.
h) Verify that end-to-end Ethernet connectivity is up.
i) Verify that end-to-end Fibre Channel connectivity is up.
j) Verify that you can launch a virtual KVM session.
Preparing Fabric Interconnects in a UCS Domain For Removal, Intersight
Use Cisco IMM to perform the following tasks:
Procedure
Ensure that the fabric interconnects you will add have no configuration information.
a) If you are installing new fabric interconnects from the factory, go to
UCS Domain, Intersight, on page
b) If you are using fabric interconnects that were previously configured, erase the configuration on both
fabric interconnects.
Through the fabric interconnect CLI, you can use the erase configuration command.
Replacing Fabric Interconnects in a UCS Domain, Intersight
Use the following procedure when you need to replace a pair of fabric interconnects in the same domain that
are the same model of fabric interconnect. For example, a Cisco UCS 6400 Series Fabric Interconnect cannot
be paired with a Cisco UCS 6500 Series Fabric Interconnect in the same domain.
In a domain, each fabric interconnect operate as an active online system, not as one live systems and one
standby system. If needed, this documentation will differentiate the fabric interconnects by naming them
fabric interconnect A and fabric interconnect B.
Use Cisco UCS Intersight Managed Mode (IMM) to perform software tasks after the new fabric interconnects
come online. For more information, see "Upgrades and RMA of Servers and Fabric Interconnects" in the
Cisco Intersight Managed Mode Configuration
