Reassign a Backup Master as the New MSC from the Old MSC

Because a Backup Master may have to take over as the Master Security Client (MSC), it should be able to physically access all of the HBAs that the MSC can access. If the MSC is connected to multiple fabrics, its Backup Master should be selected from the Available Systems list that is connected to the same fabrics as the MSC.

To reassign a Backup Master as the new MSC from the old MSC:

1. On the MSC, start the HBAnyware Security Configurator.

2. Click the Backup Master tab.

   
    

3. In the Backup Masters list, select the Backup Master system that you want to reassign as the MSC.

4. Click Assign New Master Client. You will be asked if you wish to proceed.

5. Click Yes. The selected Backup Master becomes the new MSC. The current MSC becomes a server in the new MSC's ACG. After the changes are made, a message indicates that the reassignment is complete.

6. Click OK. The Configurator closes because the system is no longer the MSC.
