5.

Configure the port types for the new switch using the Port Properties dialog. 
The ports can be G_Port, GL_Port, F_Port, FL_Port, or Donor.

6.

Connect the devices to the switch.

7.

Make any necessary zoning changes using the Edit Zoning dialog. To open 
the Edit Zoning dialog, open the Zoning menu, and select Edit Zoning. If 
you changed the Default Visibility setting in the Zoning Config dialog from All 
to None, change that setting back to All. To open the Zoning Config dialog, 
open the Zoning menu, and select Edit Zoning Config.

The archive/restore works for all switches. However, the Restore menu item is not 
available for the in-band switches. You can only restore a switch out-of-band (the 
fabric management switch). There are certain parameters that are not archived, 
and these are not restored by SANsurfer Switch Manager. Refer to 

 and 

 for information about 

archive and restore. Use the following procedure to replace a failed switch for 
which an archive is available.

1.

At the failed switch:
a.

Turn off the power and disconnect the AC cords.

b.

Note port locations and remove the interconnection cables and SFPs.

c.

Remove the failed switch.

2.

At the replacement switch:
a.

Mount the switch in the location where the failed switch was removed.

b.

Install the SFPs using the same ports as were used on the failed 
switch.

c.

Attach the AC cords and power up the switch.

3.

Select the failed switch in the topology display. Open the Switch menu and 
select Delete.

Do not reconnect inter-switch links, target devices, and 
initiator devices at this time. Doing so could invalidate 
the fabric zoning configuration.
