Hotswap Command

59043-03 A

B-21

D

This command prompts you step-by-step through the procedure to replace an I/O 
blade, insert an I/O blade, or remove an I/O blade while the switch is running.

Admin session

The Hotswap command automatically starts and ends an Admin session in the 
presence of admin authority.

Always perform the hot swap procedure as prompted, otherwise the switch will 
become unresponsive. For example, if you install a blade in the wrong slot, 
proceed as though you no mistake had been made and follow the rest of the 
procedures. When complete, perform the operation again with the correct slot. If 
the switch becomes unresponsive, you must power cycle the switch.

After you select an I/O blade to remove and press the Enter key, all Port Status 
LEDs will flash green to identify the selected I/O blade.

After you install an I/O blade and press the Enter key, the Port Status LEDs will 
flash amber in sequence by port number, then the Port Status LEDs will flash 
green.

The following is an example of the Hotswap Replace command:

SANbox2 #> hotswap

This command will guide you through the hotswap process. If this process is not 

followed exactly, then a seamless transition cannot be guaranteed and a switch 

power cycle will be required.

The following procedures may be performed:

1) Replace installed IO blade

2) Insert an IO blade

3) Remove an IO blade

4) Exit this process
