Brocade M6505 16 Gbps Fibre Channel SAN I/O Module QuickStart Guide Complete the steps in this QuickStart Guide to install and set up your Brocade M6505 16 Gbps Fibre Channel SAN I/O Module in the Dell M1000e Blade Server Enclosure.
NOTE The SAN I/O Module is designed to work only in I/O module bays B1/B2 and C1/C2 of the Dell M1000e Blade Server Enclosure. Make sure to comply with installation requirements stated in the Dell PowerEdge M1000e Enclosure Owner’s Manual. 1. Press the release latch on the SAN I/O Module to free the release lever. 2. With the front side facing you and the release lever fully extended, slide the SAN I/O Module into the appropriate Dell M1000e Blade Server Enclosure I/O module bay. 3.
3. Insert the SFP+ transceiver into a port until it is firmly seated and the latching mechanism clicks. NOTE SFP+ Transceivers are keyed to ensure correct orientation. If an SFP+ transceiver does not install easily, ensure that it is correctly oriented. Handling SFP+ transceivers Before installing an SFP+ transceiver, be aware of the following: • The housing on the SFP+ transceiver includes an integral guide key that is designed to prevent you from inserting the transceiver incorrectly.
Using the CMC GUI to set the IP address To modify the SAN I/O Module IP address using the CMC GUI, perform the following steps: 1. Select I/O Module Overview from the left navigation panel. 2. Click the Setup tab. 3. Enter the new information in the IP Address, Subnet Mask, and Gateway fields as appropriate, then click Apply. 4. To enable DHCP, select DHCP Enabled, then click Apply.
4. Enter the ipAddrSet command to change the IP address of the selected SAN I/O Module. switch:admin> ipaddrset 5. Follow on-screen instructions and supply the correct information, as shown in the following example: switch:admin> ipaddrset Ethernet IP Address [10.77.77.77]:10.32.53.47 Ethernet Subnetmask [255.255.255.0]:255.255.240.0 Fibre Channel IP Addresss [none]: Fibre Channel Subnetmask [none]: Gateway IP Address [0.0.0.0]:10.32.48.1 DHCP [Off]: IP address is being changed...Done. 6.
6 Establish an Ethernet connection Once you have successfully set the appropriate IP address of the SAN I/O Module, you can establish an Ethernet connection through the Dell M1000e Blade Server Enclosure Chassis Management Controller (CMC) to a remote management workstation for any additional configuration. The management workstation must be on the same Ethernet subnet as the CMC. NOTE Ensure that the SAN I/O Module is not being modified from any other connection until configuration is complete.
3. Enter the ag --modeDisable command. switch:admin> ag --modedisable The console will display the message, “Access Gateway mode was disabled successfully. Switch is being rebooted.” 4. Wait for the switch to come up in “Native” mode. 5. Log in to the switch and verify that the switch is set to Native Fabric mode using the switchShow command. switch:admin> switchshow The switch mode should display “Native.” As an alternative, you can use the ag --modeShow command.
