Good morning. I've got a question about substituting one netapp for another, by setting the ip addresses the same and changing the ethernet cable going to the switch from one to the other.
(hey, what about disks and data? :>)
Anyway, that should be enough.
The netapp I'm trying to bring online is the 840. The ether (mac) addresses are showing different from inconfig, and I'm wondering if there's a way to set that explicitly; I don't see it from the options listed.
Why would you want to do that? If you unplug ethernet on the old one, magic ARP will answer your calls.
Unless you have somewhere static ARPs; could be better to change them instead.
