> # Moving a Server to Another Port or Switch

> Using the Move Server wizard, you can move a server to another port on the same NPV device or another NPV device without changing the SAN. This is accomplished by moving the virtual pWWN to the new port. No change is needed if FlexAttach was configured using the physical port WWN of the server to the virtual port WWN mapping.

> ## Detailed Steps

> To move a server to a different port in the same switch, or in a different switch, follow these steps:

> 1. In the DCNM-SAN window, select Tools > NPV > FlexAttach Move Server.

> The Move Server wizard is displayed.

> 2. In the Move Server to.. window, click the Another Port on the Same Switch radio button or click the Another Port on a Different Switch radio button.
> 3. Click Next.

> The Choose Old Port window is displayed.

> 4. From the Select a switch drop-down list, select a switch.

> The switch ports are listed. To support moving a server from a failed port that is in down state, the ports in down state are also listed.

> 5. From the list of interfaces, select the port from which you want to move the server from.
> 6. Click Next.

> The Choose New Port window is displayed.

> 7. From the Select a switch drop-down list box, select a switch.

> Note If the Another Port on the Same Switch radio button was chosen, then the Select a switch drop-down list is disabled.

> 8. From the list of interfaces, select the port to which you want to move the server to.
> 9. Click Next.

> The Server WWN window is displayed.

> In the Server WWN window, if the FlexAttach global mapping table is empty, the wizard automatically prefills the drop-down table with the interface virtual PWWN of the source port, and the virtual PWWN field is not editable.

> If the FlexAttach global mapping table is not empty, the VPWWN field is blank and editable. From the drop-down list that displays all existing entries from the global mapping table, select the VPWWN entry or type the required entry.

> 10. Click Finish.
