Removing GigaVUE‑HC3 Modules

Use the following procedure to remove a GigaVUE‑HC3 module from the node with the power on. The procedure shuts down the ports on the module.

For other removal procedures, refer to Module Removal and Replacement Procedure (Hot Removal).

Important: Hot removal of the module without following the listed steps can cause system instability and require a reboot.

Before starting, make sure you are wearing an ESD-preventive wrist or ankle strap.

1.   Save map rules with the following CLI command:

(config) # config text generate active running save <name.txt>

Refer also to Backing Up Running Configuration.

2. To prepare the module for removal, press and hold the hot swap on/off button, then release it. The LED will blink for a few seconds.

Note:  Pressing the on/off button is the same as issuing the following CLI command:

(config) # card slot <slot ID> down

3. Wait for the module to shut down: RDY LED goes red; H/S LED goes solid blue.
4. Slide the module out of the chassis and store it in a static-safe location.
5. Insert the new module.
6. Wait for the module to come back up: RDY LED goes green; H/S LED goes off.
7. To verify the module is operationally up, issue the following two CLI commands:

(config) # show cards(config) # show card slot <slot ID>

Note:  The output of the show cards command displays the operational status of the module as up in the Oper Status field, as follows:

(config) # show cards
Slot  Config  Oper Status      HW Type     Product Code  Serial Num  HW Rev  PowerReq  PowerPriority
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
cc1   yes     up           HC3-Main-Board  132-00DR      1DR0-0010   1.0-00  N/A       N/A
1     yes     up           SMT-HC3-C05     132-00DX      1DX0-002A   1.0-0   390       1
2     yes     up           SMT-HC3-C05     132-00DX      1DX0-0021   A1-0    390       2
3     yes     up           SMT-HC3-C05     132-00DX      1DX0-0020   A1-0    390       3
4     yes     up           PRT-HC3-X24     132-00DY      1DY0-0002   1.0-0   110       4

The processor on the SMT-HC3-C05 module may take a minute to become operationally up. The show card slot <slot ID> command displays the status of the card as well as the status of the processor. Issue the show card slot <slot ID> command to verify the processor state in the e1 State field. You may have to issue the command a few times to watch the e1 State transition from down to up, as follows:

(config) # show card slot 3
Slot  Config    Oper Status      HW Type     e1 State  e2 State 
----------------------------------------------------------------
3     yes       up             SMT-HC3-C05   down      down
(config) # show card slot 3
Slot  Config    Oper Status      HW Type     e1 State  e2 State 
----------------------------------------------------------------
3     yes       up             SMT-HC3-C05   up        up
8. Apply licenses with the following CLI command:

license install box id <box-id> key <license-key>

Backing Up Running Configuration

Use the information in this section to back up the running configuration.

Use the following command to back up to a SCP/TFTP/HTTP server:

(config) # configuration text generate active running upload <upload URL> <filename>

This command uses FTP, TFTP, or SCP to upload the running configuration to a text file on remote storage. The format for the <upload URL> is as follows:

[protocol]://username[:password]@hostname/path/filename

For example, the following command uploads a text configuration file based on the active running configuration and uploads it to an FTP server at 192.168.1.49 with the name config.txt:

(config) # configuration text generate active running upload ftp://myuser:mypass@192.168.1.49/ftp/config.txt
