5. Enter the reboot command to reboot the DC SAN Director.
NOTE: You can use the serial port to monitor error messages through a serial connection.
After using the port, remove the serial cable and install the shipping cap on the port.
Establishing an Ethernet connection
NOTE: HP recommends connecting the CP blades to a private network/VLAN.
After using a serial connection to configure the IP addresses for the DC SAN Director (see
Configuring IP addresses (page 38)), you can connect the active CP blade to the LAN.
By establishing an Ethernet connection, you can complete the DC SAN Director configuration using
either a serial session, Telnet, or management applications, such as Web Tools or Fabric Manager.
To establish an Ethernet connection to the DC SAN Director:
1. Remove the shipping plug from the Ethernet port on the active CP blade.
2. Insert one end of an Ethernet cable into the Ethernet port.
3. Connect the other end to an Ethernet 10/100/1000 Base-T LAN.
The DC SAN Director can be accessed by remote connection using any of the management
tools, such as Telnet, Web Tools, or Fabric Manager.
4. To complete any additional DC SAN Director configuration procedures through a Telnet
session, log in to the DC SAN Director by Telnet, using the admin login. The default password
is password.
Customizing a switch name
The switch name of the DC SAN Director can be up to 15 characters long; can include alphabetic,
numeric, and underscore characters; and must begin with an alphabetic character.
