Hello guys,

I would like to ask you expert guys for an advice regarding SAN director and port blade installation.

My question is:

I have 2 SAN Directors EMC ED-DCX8510-8B per FabricA: DCX1, DCX2. Both of these directors have 5 port blades installed in slots 1,2,3,4,9. I would need to unconfigure and remove port blade from DCX1 from slot 9 and install the port blade to DCX2 to slot 10.

I would like to keep DCX1 and DCX2 directors operational during this reconfiguration activity. Is it possible? Is there some outage? What is needed to do (logical configuration) to unconfigure port blade from DCX1 and configure the port blade to DCX2?

Many thanks for your advices.

I am sorry I am not SAN expert in this.
