  • Page 115: Using A Redundant Management Module

    Chapter Using a Redundant Management Module Overview NOTE This chapter applies to the FSX 800 and FSX 1600 chassis devices only. You can install a redundant management module in the FSX 800 and FSX 1600 chassis. By default, the system considers the module installed in the lower-numbered slot to be the active management module, and the module installed in the higher-numbered slot to be the redundant or standby module.

  • Page 116: Management Module Switchover

    How Management module redundancy works After the modules boot, the active module synchronizes the standby module’s flash code and system-config file with its own. During normal operation, the active module handles tasks such as obtaining network topology and reachability information and determining the best paths to known destinations. The active module also monitors the standby module.

  • Page 117: Switchover Implications

    How Management module redundancy works Removal and replacement of a management module For information about how to remove and replace a management module, refer to “Replacing a management module” on page 118. This section explains how management module redundancy is affected when you remove and replace an active or standby management module.

  • Page 118: Management Module Redundancy Configuration

    Management module redundancy configuration Management sessions You can establish management sessions with the active management module’s management port. If a switchover occurs, the management port on the original active module shuts down and all open CLI, Web Management Interface, and IronView Network Manager sessions with that port close. You can open new sessions with the new active module, provided that the new active module has the same management port connections.

  • Page 205: Caution And Danger Notices

    Appendix Caution and Danger Notices Cautions The cautions and dangers notices that appear in this manual are listed below in English, German, French, and Spanish. A caution calls your attention to a possible hazard that can damage equipment. “Vorsicht” weist auf die Gefahr einer möglichen Beschädigung des Gerätes in. Une mise en garde attire votre attention sur un risque possible d'endommagement de l'équipement.
  • Page 206 Cautions CAUTION Make sure the air flow around the front, sides, and back of the device is not restricted. VORSICHT Stellen Sie sicher, dass an der Vorderseite, den Seiten und an der Rückseite der Luftstrom nicht behindert wird. MISE EN GARDE Vérifiez que rien ne restreint la circulation d'air devant, derrière et sur les côtés du dispositif et qu'elle peut se faire librement.
  • Page 207 Cautions CAUTION All devices with DC power supplies are intended for installation in restricted access areas only. A restricted access area is where access can be gained only by service personnel through the use of a special tool, lock and key, or other means of security, and is controlled by the authority responsible for the location.
  • Page 208 Cautions CAUTION Do not remove the FSX management module while the chassis is powered on and running. If you attempt to remove this module while the chassis is powered on and running, all traffic being handled by the system will stop. VORSICHT Wenn das Gehäuse eingeschaltet ist und sich im Betrieb befindet, darf das Management-Modul nicht entfernt werden.
  • Page 209 Cautions CAUTION If you do not install a module in a slot, you must keep the slot panel in place. If you run the chassis with an uncovered slot, the system will overheat. VORSICHT Falls kein Modul im Steckplatz installiert wird, muss die Steckplatztafel angebracht werden.
  • Page 210 Cautions CAUTION For the DC input circuit to the system, make sure there is a 30 amp circuit breaker, minimum -48Vdc, double pole, on the input to the terminal block. The input wiring for connection to the product should be copper wire, 8 AWG, marked VW-1, and rated minimum 90 degrees celcius.
  • Page 211 Cautions CAUTION Do not attempt to install the power supply without first releasing the latch on the front of the power supply. Attempting to install the power supply with a closed latch will result in mechanical damage to the power supply and power supply slot. VORSICHT Installieren Sie die Stromversorgung erst, nachdem Sie den Kippschalter vorne am Netzteil gelöst haben.

  • Page 212: Dangers

    Dangers CAUTION A fully loaded FXS chassis is extremely heavy. For this reason, Brocade recommends that you install the empty FSX 1600 chassis in the rack before you install the modules. VORSICHT Ein voll beladenes FSX-Chassis ist sehr schwer. Aus diesem Grund empfiehlt Brocade, dass Sie das unbeladene FSX 1600-Chassis im Rack installieren, bevor Sie die Module installieren.

DANGER Toutes les interfaces en fibres optiques utilisent des lasers de classe 1. PELIGRO Todas las interfaces de fibra óptica utilizan láser de clase 1. DANGER Make sure the rack or cabinet housing the device is adequately secured to prevent it from becoming unstable or falling over.
  • Page 214 Dangers DANGER If the installation requires a different power cord than the one supplied with the device, make sure you use a power cord displaying the mark of the safety agency that defines the regulations for power cords in your country. The mark is your assurance that the power cord can be used safely with the device.
  • Page 215 Dangers DANGER Before beginning the installation, refer to the precautions in “Determining which power supply failed” on page 136. GEFAHR Vor der Installation siehe Vorsichtsmaßnahmen unter " Power Precautions " (Vorsichtsmaßnahmen in Bezug auf elektrische Ablagen) auf den Seiten 7-18. DANGER Avant de commencer l'installation, consultez les précautions décrites dans "...
  • Page 216 Dangers DANGER Make sure to choose the appropriate circuit device depending on the number of AC power supplies installed in the chassis. The minimum current draw for the system is one AC power supply. GEFAHR Je nach Anzahl der Wechselstrom-Netzteile im Gehäuse muss das passende Stromgerät ausgewählt werden.
