replace FI 6120 with a new FI 6120

[telematique]

Hi,

I would like to know the steps to replace the FI 6120 (End Host Mode) with a new FI 6120?

1. Power on new FI and verify the version

2. Perform upgrade or downgrade on the FI to match with FI in service

3. Erase configuration the new FI

4. Connect the port L1, L2, port management and startup new FI

5. ????

should I import the configuration of the old switch?

Thank You!

I assume, you had a cluster configuration, and you would like to replace a broken 6120.

Depending on the release (2.1.3 or later, see http://jeffsaidso.com/2014/05/cool-new-ucs-featurefirmware-sync/), you can simply (after erasing the config, or take a brand new FI) connect the 2 heartbeat links, and the setup menue will recognize the peer FI; then after entering the admin pw and IP address of the new FI, the existing FI will synch the firmware and the whole configuration.
