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.
Reassign 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.
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.
