Reassigning a Backup Master as the New MSC from the Backup Master
To reassign a Backup Master as the new MSC from the Backup Master:
1. On the Backup Master system that you want to reassign as the MSC, start the HBAnyware
Security Configurator.
2. Click the Backup Master tab.
Figure 72: Security Configurator, Backup Master “Warning” Dialog Box
3. Click Assign This System As The Master Client. A prompt asks if you want to continue.
4. Click Yes. A prompt notifies you that this system is now the new MSC.
5. Click OK. The Configurator closes. Restart the HBAnyware Security Configurator to run the
former Backup Master as the MSC.
WARNING: Use this method only if the MSC cannot relinquish control to a Backup Master. For
example, if the MSC is no longer bootable or able to connect to the Fibre Channel network.
Under any other circumstances, if the Backup Master takes over as the MSC, and the MSC
is still running or comes back online later, there will be two MSCs for the same security
configuration. This will eventually lead to corruption of the security configuration.
