If you screw up a system, don't blame it on me... Switching control boards is not something to be done lightly. At a minimum, you have to power off the entire platform and/or delete all your domains. Gee, where did my data go again? To switch control boards, do the following: #. Power off the entire E10K except the control boards. If it's not possible to power everything off except the control boards, you'll have to domain_remove all the domains. #. Update the name service, if necessary, for the new control board address including the /etc/ethers if the mac address has changed. #. Run ``ssp_config cb`` on the SSP and specify the new configuration information. #. Reboot the SSPs #. Using ``hostview``, ensure the J and C symbols show upin the display control board squares. This signifies that the control boards are active. #. Power on the E10K and/or recreate the domains. #. Use ``bringup`` to restart your domains.
