Replacing Master Processor of Multi-Processor Node
Introduction
This section describes how to replace a failed master processor in a multiprocessor
node without losing your configuration.

All processor cards in a node contain identical copies of CMEM. If the master

processor fails, you can keep the original node configuration and options if you:
• Replace the master processor with another processor card from the node
(preserving the configuration).
• Keep the ID Module of the original master, retaining the original SAKs for
the options you purchased.

Cards
To replace a processor card other than the master, remove the old processor card and
insert the new one. Be sure you use the correct type of ID Module (for example,
6505, 6507, or 6525). You do not have to change the configuration. When the node
starts up, the CMEM on the new processor card is loaded automatically with the
node configuration.

Note
All processor cards in a multiprocessor configuration must operate on the same
revision of software. If they do not have the same software revision, remove the
software from the failed processor card and exchange it with the software on the
spare card. All processor cards in a multiprocessor configuration must use the
same type of ID Modules—the node must be composed entirely of one type of
processor card (6505, or 6507, or 6525 cards).
