7. Verify that the management card has the desired version of the
management software by performing the SHOW SYSTEM command,
as explained in "Entering the Management Software Commands" on
page 213. If necessary, update the software by referring to the
Software Reference for SwitchBlade x3100 Series Switches.
8. Restore the configuration to the Ethernet line and controller cards by
uploading the most recent backup database to the new controller card.
If you do not have an archived copy of the backup database of the
chassis, restore the configuration manually. For instructions, refer to
Software Reference for SwitchBlade x3100 Series Switches.
Here are the general steps if the chassis has two controller cards and one
cards fails:
1. If the chassis is powered off, power it on.
Note
You should not replace a controller card in a chassis that has two
controller cards while the unit is powered off, especially if the failed
controller card is in slot 5. If you replace a failed controller card while
the chassis is powered off, the Ethernet line cards might lose their
configurations if the new controller card is designated as the active
card when you power on the chassis.
2. If you just powered on the chassis, wait two minutes for the operational
controller card to finish the initialization process. The M/S LED on the
card changes to solid green at the completion of the initialization
process.
Note
By waiting for the operational controller card to complete its
initialization process, you ensure that it is the active card when you
replace the failed controller card with a new card.
3. Start a management session on the chassis. For instructions on how
to start a local management session, refer to "Starting a Local
Management Session" on page 212.
4. At the command prompt, enter the DISABLE CARD command to
disable the failed controller card: Here is the command:
disable card=inactcfc
5. Log off to end your management session.
6. Remove the failed controller card. For details, refer to the instructions
later in this section.
