Hello Toasters,
We have a CF pair of fas6040s both connected to two SAN switches. We have migrated most of the clients off this SAN and now we have a need to connect the 6040s to a second (separate) SAN.
Currently we have 2 SAN switches on the old SAN. Each 6040 head has two fc ports connected to each switch. So that is 4 fc ports per head or 8 ports total, which is complete overkill for this SAN (we plan to retire the few remaining clients.)
I want to take one fc port from each head and move it to the other SAN, without any downtime.
Can I do it like this (on each head):
fcp config 0x down
move the cable to the other switch
fcp config 0x up
We are using cfmode = single_image by the way.
Is there anything else that we need to do on the netapp side?
