Setting the boot PROM password for a director without a recovery string

This procedure applies to the following enterprise-class platforms: Brocade 48000 director, 
Brocade DCX and DCX-4S Data Center Backbones. 

On the Brocade 48000 director and Brocade DCX enterprise-class platforms, set the password on 
the standby CP blade, fail over, and then set the password on the previously active (now standby) 
CP blade to minimize disruption to the fabric. 

1. Determine the active CP blade by opening a Telnet session to either CP blade, connecting as 

admin, and entering the haShow command. 

2. Connect to the active CP blade by serial or Telnet and enter the haDisable command to prevent 

failover during the remaining steps.

3. Create a serial connection to the standby CP blade as described in 

 on page 16.

4. Reboot the standby CP blade by sliding the On/Off switch on the ejector handle of the standby 

CP blade to Off, and then back to On.

This causes the blade to reset.
