Start up and shutdown procedures for Brocade SAN switches

[Kites BM]

Hi,

We have some SAN switches configured and we need to migrate all these switches that require shutdown and start up after we move to new location.

Any procedural docs on start up and shutdwon would help

Appreciate a lot!!

Thanks,
BM

Core :HP StorageWorks 8/80 Power Pack +, 48 SAN Switch


Edge :HP Brocade 4/24 SAN Switch Power Pack

first, use an ftp app to backup the config (just in case). in the event that zoning or any other form of port dependant presentation is in effect make a note of which hosts connect to which ports then if you want to be sure nothing is going through the switch before shutdown issue a 'switch disable' command either from telnet or the gui. turn it off and move it. simples ;)

I couldn't find the models though I'm able to get switchtypes for

Core :HP StorageWorks 8/80 Power Pack +, 48 SAN Switch
Switch Type:64.3

Edge :HP Brocade 4/24 SAN Switch Power Pack
Switch Type:43.3

Any docs would really help

adv thanks
