How to swap the powersupply source for Cisco and Brocade switches on a SAN environment-VMware
Hi
We have VMware infrastructure
3 ESX server
1 San and
2 Brocade switches
2 Cisco core switch (LACP is configured)
Here Brocade Switch-A and Cisco Switch-A (doesn’t have a redundant power supply) and both the switches are connected to UPS- A
The UPS-A battery has become faulty not behaving well. Now planning replace the UPS-A with a new UPS.
If I pull out the power cord of Brocade Switch-A and Cisco Switch-A and connect to the new UPS
Will it be ok and will there be any downtime?
Or is there a better way of swapping the power supply for this unit.
Please advise and thanks
