Stephen,
To change out the AW you do not have to reboot the CP's to get the
correct MAC address to them, but you do have to run a script on the
CP's. See HH845 to get the procedure. Also you might need QF 991316
for this. It does not register itself in /usr/fox/sp/lastinst/QF_INFO
so you have to look for these files :
/opt/fox/bin/tools/ckmacadr
/opt/fox/bin/tools/ckmacadr.stn
/opt/fox/bin/tools/get_style
Hope this helps,

Hi Norm,
The AW51B I plan to replace does not hold the CSA, but since the MAC
address will change I would want to make sure that the CP's will be able to
find and boot off the new AW51E. I do not know if I have to reboot the CPs
right away or if they could stay on line for a few hours while I made sure
the AW was working properly.
I should be able to do the load-all prior to connecting the new AW to the
node while I am loading the rest of the software and doing the loadh50 for
the historian.
Thanks,
Stephen Murray

Yes, if you are replacing the 'B' box the CPs and Gateways will all have to
be rebooted. The 'E' box will have 'Initialized' day0 images for all of the
hosted CPs and Gateways. These should have a 'LoadAll' done on an off-line
test bed done for all of the CPs and Gateways. Do this with a SaveAll made
after an UpLoad done just before you wish to change out the Host. If you
cannot do this, a LoadAll must be performed on the running system for the
Stations hosted by this 'E' box. It will require significantly more down
time to do it on-line.
CSA saves and merges may be required, as well. Especially if the 'B' box you
are replacing hosts CSA. If it gets this complicated, you should get
assistance from Field Service.
