<h2 id="rzahqhotsparebetw">Hot spare between server hardware</h2>
<p>iSeries&trade; and xSeries&reg; integration and storage virtualization provide
options that can enable you to enhance the reliability and recoverability
of your Windows server environment. If a Windows server fails, you can quickly
and easily switch the server's storage spaces to another hot spare xSeries server without
restarting your iSeries server. This may reduce the total number of Intel&reg; servers
needed to provide increased availability. It also adds flexibility by enabling
one spare server to be used to protect multiple production servers.</p>

<div class="notetitle" id="wq276">Note:</div>
<div class="notebody">For iSCSI attached servers, the iSCSI local host adapters
can also take advantage of hot spare support. See <a href="rzahqhotsparebetweeniscsi.htm#rzahqhotsparebetweeniscsi">Hot spare between iSCSI local host adapters</a>.</div>
<p>The procedures for hot sparing an integrated server's hardware are shown
below.</p>
<p><span class="bold">Using iSeries Navigator:</span></p>
<ol type="1">
<li>Expand <span class="bold">Integrated Server Administration</span>.</li>
<li>Select <span class="bold">Servers</span>.</li>
<li>If the server for which you want to swap hardware is not already shut
down:
<ul>
<li>Right-click the server and select <span class="bold">Shut Down</span>.</li>
<li>Click <span class="bold">Shut Down</span> on the confirmation panel.</li></ul></li>
<li>Change the server configuration to point to the hot spare server hardware.
<ol type="a">
<li>Right-click the server and select <span class="bold">Properties</span>.</li>
<li>Select the <span class="bold">System</span> tab and change one of the following:
<ul>
<li>For non-iSCSI servers, select the new <span class="bold">Resource name and
type</span>.</li>
<li>For iSCSI servers select the new <span class="bold">Remote system configuration
name</span>.</li></ul></li></ol>Click <span class="bold">OK</span>.</li>
<li>To start the integrated server, right-click the server and select <span class="bold">Start</span>.</li></ol>
<p><span class="bold">Using the character-based interface:</span></p>
<ol type="1">
<li>If the server for which you want to swap hardware is not already varied
off, use the <span class="bold">Vary Configuration (VRYCFG)</span> command to
vary it off.</li>
<li>To change the server configuration to point to the hot spare server hardware,
use the <span class="bold">Change Network Server Desc (CHGNWSD)</span> command
to change one of the following:
<ul>
<li>For non-iSCSI servers, change the value for the <span class="bold">Resource
name (RSRCNAME)</span> parameter to specify the new IXS or IXA hardware resource
name.</li>
<li>For iSCSI servers, change the value for the <span class="bold">Remote system
name</span> element of the <span class="bold">Network server configuration (NWSCFG)</span> parameter to specify the new remote system network server configuration
object name.</li></ul></li>
<li>To start the integrated server, use the <span class="bold">Vary Configuration
(VRYCFG)</span> command.</li></ol><img src="deltaend.gif" alt="End of change" />
