Our Qlogic Sanbox 5600 fibre switch on our SanMP network is acting up again. I posted about this a while back. We have two switches on the SanMP fibre network. The second switch keeps hanging/crashing with all the lights blinking. A power cycle brings it back but it's crashed 4 times this morning. It's time to reconfigure the good switch and move what we can to that switch. Our engineer is going to do that but I noticed the good switch only has 12 ports populated with the mias, or what ever the proper term is for the little adapters that plug into the ports and provide the fibre connection LC or SC etc... The bad switch has all 16 ports populated with the mias. I've been told these switches can come in various configurations of active ports depending on how the unit was purchased. I'm wondering if given only 12 ports are populated on the good switch is it possible to pull some of the mias off the bad switch and populate the open ports to get 16 active ports? My limited understanding of the switch active ports sounds a lot like Unity dongles in that you pay more for more active ports. Is it possible to take the active port authorization from the bad switch and apply it to the good switch? Is this something that is displayed when you remote into the switch through the ethernet port?
Trying to give our tech support a heads up about this if it will be a problem.
