Failing over a NIC
This is the recommended procedure for replacing a NIC.
To fail over to a backup NIC:
-
Add a new NIC to an empty slot.
See
``Adding a NIC''.
-
If you have not already done so, use the Network Configuration
Manager to configure the new NIC as a backup device.
See
``Configuring a backup device''.
-
Force the primary (old) NIC to fail over to the backup NIC.
See
``Configuring a backup device''.
-
Remove the old NIC.
See
``Removing a controller or NIC''.
