Configuration during the upgrade

The switch Domain ID and backbone fabric ID of the new FC router can be identical. Once the metaSAN
is stable, EX_Ports on the new router are active, the old router can be taken out of the setup.

Redundant configuration

Figure 61 shows an example of a simple redundant configuration. The configuration shown in
shows that old routers can be removed one by one. For example, FC router 2 can be replaced with the
new FC router. You are expected to maintain the connections to the edge fabrics and the other router,
same as with old router. Configuration parameters described in
page 473 should also be preconfigured on the new routers and match with the routers being replaced. The
backbone fabric ID of the new FC router should be the same as that of the replaced router.
The same procedure can be repeated for FC router 1.
NOTE: During the swap, traffic flowing through the ISL is affected.
Figure 61 shows an example of a simple redundant configuration.
