7–Removal and ReplacementiSR6200 Chassis BladesThe blade replacement feature ensures that the replaced unit retains the MACaddresses for the management ports and iSCSI ports, as well as the world wideport number (WWPN) and world wide node number (WWNN) for the FibreChannel ports. Retaining these values ensures that the Fibre Channel zoning,LUN masking, and iSCSI login sessions previously established are still valid afterreplacing the blade. This feature retains the management IP addressconfiguration across blade replacements.Dual-Blade InstallationIf the iSR6200 router chassis contains dual blades prior to replacing a specificblade, you do not need to use the management tool’s Save and Restore FRUfeatures because the blade already mirrors the configuration of its peer blade.When you replace a blade, it automatically restores all the configuration data fromthe other blade.The following sections show how to remove and replace a failed blade in adual-blade chassis installation:• “Removing the Failed Blade” on page 7-2• “Installing the Replacement Blade” on page 7-3Removing the Failed BladeTo remove a failed blade from an iSR6200 chassis with a dual blade:1. Prior to replacing the iSR6200 router blade, log out all iSCSI initiators fromthe iSR6200 blade you are replacing.2. Disconnect all cables from the iSR6200 blade you are replacing, includingFibre Channel, iSCSI, management, Ethernet, and serial cables (seeFigure 7-1).Figure 7-1. iSR6200 Router Blade with Cables Disconnected3. Remove the old blade from the chassis. Figure 7-2 shows how to releasethe latch and pull down on the lever on the right side (1), and then pullstraight back on the handle (2).7-2 ISR651101-00 G
