Moving a Server to Another Port or Switch

</h1>
<a name="wp1105305"> </a><p class="pBody">
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.

</p>
<a name="wp1105306"> </a><h2 class="pHeading2">
Detailed Steps
</h2>
<a name="wp1104402"> </a><p class="pBody">
To move a server to a different port in the same switch, or in a different switch, follow these steps:

</p>
<div class="pSmartList1"><ol type="1" class="pSmartList1">
<a name="wp1104403"> </a><li class="pSmartList1">In the DCNM-SAN window, select <b class="cBold">Tools&#160;&gt;&#160;NPV&#160;&gt;&#160;FlexAttach Move Server</b>.
</li>
<a name="wp1105317"> </a><p class="pListBodyLevel1">
The Move Server wizard is displayed.

</p>
<a name="wp1105318"> </a><li class="pSmartList1">In the Move Server to.. window, click the <b class="cBold">Another Port on the Same Switch </b>radio button or click the 
<b class="cBold">Another Port on a Different Switch</b> radio button.
</li>
<a name="wp1105319"> </a><li class="pSmartList1">Click <b class="cBold">Next</b>.
</li>
<a name="wp1105320"> </a><p class="pListBodyLevel1">
The Choose Old Port window is displayed. 

</p>
<a name="wp1105321"> </a><li class="pSmartList1">From the Select a switch drop-down list, select a switch.
</li>
<a name="wp1105322"> </a><p class="pListBodyLevel1">
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.

</p>
<a name="wp1105323"> </a><li class="pSmartList1">From the list of interfaces, select the port from which you want to move the server from.
</li>
<a name="wp1105324"> </a><li class="pSmartList1">Click <b class="cBold">Next</b>.
</li>
<a name="wp1105325"> </a><p class="pListBodyLevel1">
The Choose New Port window is displayed. 

</p>
<a name="wp1105326"> </a><li class="pSmartList1">From the Select a switch drop-down list box, select a switch.
</li>
<a name="wp1105327"> </a><p class="pListNote1">
<strong>Note	&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</strong> If the <b class="cBold">Another Port on the Same Switch </b>radio button was chosen, then the Select a switch 
drop-down list is disabled.

</p>
<a name="wp1105328"> </a><li class="pSmartList1">From the list of interfaces, select the port to which you want to move the server to.

</li>
<a name="wp1105330"> </a><p class="pListBodyLevel1">
The Server WWN window is displayed. 

</p>
<a name="wp1105331"> </a><p class="pListBodyLevel1">
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.

</p>
<a name="wp1105332"> </a><p class="pListBodyLevel1">
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.

</p>
<a name="wp1105333"> </a><li class="pSmartList1">Click <b class="cBold">Finish</b>.
