15.1 Replacing IBP modules
If an IBP connection blade in a chassis managed by Virtual-IO Manager fails,
please perform the following actions when replacing this connection blade
with a connection blade of the same type:
1. Unplug all LAN cables connected to the defective IBP.
Important
All cables should have a label that uniquely identifies
them and allows you to reconnect them to the same
ports in the new IBP module at the end of the procedure.
The labeling should also contain information about
active ports and backup ports. Before removing the LAN
cables, please make sure you have all the information
you need to reconnect them to the same ports on the
new connection blade.
2. Now remove the defective connection blade and replace it with a new
one of the same type.
Important
Do not connect the LAN cables at this stage!
3. After booting the new connection blade, check its mode. If it is not run-
ning in IBP mode, please change the mode to IBP mode and reboot the
connection blade. You can change the mode via the web-based user
interface of the management blade; see Configuration tab for the select-
ed connection blade. Check and change the Firmware Mode Setting in
the MMB web-based user interface.
4. Make sure that the IP configuration of the new connection blades is cor-
rect and also that the new connection blade has the correct authen-
tication data (same user name and password) as the old one. If you are
