1 FC SAN Module port types FC SAN Module port types The Dell NPIV Switch FC SAN Module differs from a typical fabric switch because it is a port aggregator rather than a switch; instead, it connects to the fabric using node ports (N_Ports). Typically fabric switches connect to the fabric using ISL (InterSwitch Link) ports, such as E_Ports. Following are the Fibre Channel (FC) ports that the FC SAN Module uses: • F_Port - internal fabric port that connects a blade server (HBA).

2 Port mapping Port mapping The FC SAN Module uses port-mapped pre-provisioned routes to direct traffic from the blade server (HBAs) to the fabric. When you first turn on the module, by default, the internal ports (F_Ports) are mapped to a set of predefined external ports (N_Ports). For the default port mapping, see Table 3 on page 5. See t “Remapping ports” on page 5 if you want to change the default mapping.
Port mapping 2 Default port mapping Table 3 shows the default port mapping. By default, Failover and Failback policy are enabled on all external ports (N_Ports).
2 Port mapping 3. Enter the ag --mapshow command and specify the port number to display the list of mapped internal ports (F_Ports). Verify that the added internal ports (F_Ports) appear in the list. switch:admin> ag --mapshow 13 N_Port Failover(1=enabled/0=disabled) Failback(1=enabled/0=disabled) Current F_Ports Configured F_Ports PG_ID PG_Name : : : : : : : 13 1 1 None 6;7 0 pg0 Removing internal ports (F_Ports) from external ports (N_Ports) 1.

3 Advanced Device Security policy FC SAN Module policy enforcement matrix The following table shows which combinations of policies can co-exist with each other.
Advanced Device Security policy 3 NOTE Use the ag --policyshow command to determine the current status of the ADS policy. Setting the list of devices allowed to log in You can determine which devices are allowed to log in by internal (F_Port) by specifying the device’s port WWN (PWWN). Lists must be enclosed in double quotation marks. List members must be separated by semicolons. The maximum number of entries in the allowed device list is twice the per port maximum log in count.
3 Advanced Device Security policy 1. Connect to the FC SAN Module and log in using an account assigned to the admin role. 2. Enter the ag --adsdel command to remove one or more devices from the list of allowed devices. Use the following syntax: ag--adsdel "F_Port [;F_Port2;...]" "WWN [;WWN2;...]" In the following example, two devices are removed from the list of allowed devices (for ports 3 and 9).
Automatic Port Configuration policy 3 ADS policy considerations The ADS policy can be enabled or disabled independent of status of other policies. Automatic Port Configuration policy The automatic Port Configuration (APC) policy is disabled by default. APC provides the ability to automatically discover port types (host vs. fabric) and dynamically update the routing maps when a new connection is detected. This policy is intended for a complete hands-off operation.
3 Port Grouping policy 4. Enter the command ag --policydisable auto to disable the APC policy. 5. At the command prompt, type Y to disable the policy. switch:admin> ag --policydisable auto Default factory settings will be restored. Default mappings will come into effect. Please save the current configuration using configupload. Do you want to continue? (yes, y, no, n): [no] y Access Gateway configuration has been restored to factory default 6. Enter the switchenable command to enable the module.

3 Port Grouping policy switch:admin> ag --pgadd 3 14 N_Port[s] are added to the port group 3 Deleting an external port (N_Port) from a port group Before deleting an external port (N_Port), all internal ports (F_Ports) mapped to that external port must be remapped before that external port is deleted from a port group.
Port Grouping policy 3 Disabling the Port Grouping policy 1. Connect to the switch and log in using an account assigned to the admin role. 2. Enter the ag --policydisable command. switch:admin> ag --policydisable pg .

Port Grouping policy 3 Enabling Managed Fabric Name Monitoring mode 1. Connect to the switch and log in using an account assigned to the admin role. 2. Enter the ag --pgsetmodes command with appropriate operands to enable MFNM mode. In the following example, MFNM mode is enabled for port group 3. switch:admin> ag --pgsetmodes 3 "mfnm" Managed Fabric Name Monitoring mode has been enabled for Port Group 3 Disabling Managed Fabric Name Monitoring mode 1.
3 Failover Port Grouping policy considerations Following are the considerations for the Port Grouping policy: • A port cannot be a member of more than one port group. • The PG policy is enabled by default. A default port group “0” (PG0) is created, which contains all ports on the FC SAN Module. • APC policy and PG policy are mutually exclusive. You cannot enable these policies at the same time.
Failover 3 Failover configurations The following sequence describes how a failover event occurs: • An external port (N_Port) goes offline. • All internal ports (F_Ports) mapped to that external port are disabled. • If the external port Failover configuration is enabled and a preferred secondary port is specified for the internal port (and that external port is online), the internal port fails over to the secondary external port, then re-enables.
3 Failover Example 1 Blade Servers Blade_1 Example 2 Blade Servers FC SAN Module Fabric F_1 Blade_1 FC SAN Module Fabric F_1 Edge Switch (Switch_A) Blade_2 F_2 F_A1 N_1 Blade_3 Edge Switch (Switch_A) Blade_2 F_A2 Blade_4 NPIV enabled F_3 F_A2 N_2 NPIV enabled Blade_4 F_4 F_A1 N_1 Blade_3 F_3 N_2 F_2 NPIV enabled NPIV enabled F_4 Edge Switch (Switch_B) Blade_5 F_B1 F_5 N_3 Blade_6 F_6 Blade_5 F_B1 F_5 N_3 NPIV enabled F_B2 N_4 Edge Switch (Switch_B) Blade_6 NPIV enabled
Failover 3 Enabling and disabling Failover for a port group Failover policy can be enabled on a port group. To enable or disable use the following steps to enable or disable failover on all the external ports (N_Ports) belonging to the same port group. 1. Connect to the FC SAN Module and log in using an account assigned to the admin role. 2. Enter the ag --failoverenable -pg pgid command to enable failover. switch:admin> ag --failoverenable -pg 3 Failover policy is enabled for port group 3 3.
3 Failback Failback Failback policy provides a means for ports that have failed over to move back to their intended external ports (N_Ports) when these ports come back online. When Failback is enabled, all internal ports (F_Ports) automatically reroute back to these primary-mapped external ports. Failback is an external port parameter and is enabled by default. Only the originally mapped internal ports fail back.

3 Enabling and disabling Failback for a port group Use the following steps to enable or disable Failback policy on all the external ports (N_Ports) belonging to the same port group. 1. Connect to the FC SAN Module and log in using an account assigned to the admin role. 2. Use the following commands to enable or disable Failback for a port group: • Enter the ag --failbackenable pg pgid command to enable failback on a port group.

4 Fabric and Edge switch configuration • If DCC security is being used on Edge switches that directly connect to the FC SAN Module, make sure to include the module WWN or the port WWN of the external ports (N_Ports). Also include the HBA WWNs that will be connected to internal ports (F_Ports) to the ACL list in the ACL policy. It is recommended to use FC SAN Module ADS policy instead of the DCC policy on the Edge switch. • Allow inband queries for forwarded fabric management requests from the hosts.

Verify that NPIV status for the port to which FC SAN Module is connected is ON. If the status displays as “--” NPIV is disabled. Enter the portCfgNpivPort port_number command with the 1 operand to enable NPIV. Repeat this step for each port as required.
A 30 Troubleshooting Dell 8/4Gbps FC SAN Module Administrator’s Guide 53-1001345-01
Appendix B Command Reference Understanding role-based access control The FC SAN Module commands use Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) to control access to all FC SAN Module OS operations. Seven roles are supported, as defined in Table 6. Role definitions are guided by perceived common operational situations and the operations and effects a role is permitted to have on a fabric and individual fabric elements.
B Understanding Virtual Fabric restrictions Understanding Virtual Fabric restrictions In OS v6.2.0 and later, all commands are subject to additional RBAC enforcement with regard to Virtual Fabric contexts and switch types. Commands can be executed in one or more of the contexts described in Table 7. Execution of chassis commands requires chassis permissions.
Understanding Admin Domain restrictions B Understanding Admin Domain restrictions A subset of commands is subject to Admin Domain restrictions that may be in place. In order to execute an AD-restricted command on a switch or device, the switch or device must be part of a given Admin domain, and the user must be logged into that Admin Domain. Six Admin Domain types are supported, as defined in Table 9. TABLE 9 AD types AD Type Definition Allowed Allowed to execute in all ADs.
B Commands Commands Commands are provided in alphabetical order. configUpload Uploads system configuration data to a file.
configUpload B • In a non-Virtual Fabric environment, this command by default uploads the switch configuration only. Additional options support uploading the chassis configuration (-chassis) or all of the system's configuration data, including chassis and switch configurations (-all). Chassis permissions are required. The -fid option is not valid.
B configUpload “path” Specifies the file name and path of the configuration file. Absolute path names may be specified using a forward slash (/). Relative path names upload the file to the login account’s home directory on UNIX hosts and into the directory on which the FTP server is running on Windows hosts. This operand is valid only when the file is uploaded to an external host. Quotation marks are optional. “passwd” Specifies the account password when you use the FTP protocol.
configDownload B switch:admin> configupload -ftp 192.168.38.245,jdoe,config.txt,password To upload all system configuration data to an external FTP server: switch:admin> configupload -all -ftp 192.168.38.245,jdoe,config.txt,password To upload the system configuration file for a logical switch with FID 8 to an attached USB device: switch:admin> configupload -fid 8 -ftp -USB config.
B configDownload indicates the platform ID. Virtual Fabric configuration data can only be shared between switches that belong to the same platform type and share the same platform ID. If the platform ID contained in the header of the configuration file does not match the platform ID of the system to which it is downloaded, configDownload fails. When you download a switch-conf_xx.txt file, all attributes defined in this file are downloaded to the system and take effect with the exception of LISL ports.
configDownload - B Downloading a configuration file from a system that is not Virtual Fabric-capable to a system in Virtual Fabric mode is not recommended. The configuration is applied to the default switch only, and only to the ports that are part of the default switch. If an FCS policy is enabled, the following rules and restrictions apply: • Both [Defined Security Policies] and [Active Security Policies] sections must exist and contain the FCS_POLICY.
B configDownload Operands This command has the following operands: -p ftp | -ftp or -p scp | -scp Specifies the data transmission protocol as either File Transfer Protocol (FTP) or Secure Copy Protocol (SCP). If no protocol is specified, the protocol defaults to FTP. -vf Downloads the Virtual Fabric configuration (switch-conf_xx.txt) instead of the regular system configuration. The switch-con_xx.
configDownload “file” Examples B A file name in quotation marks, for example, “config.txt”. This parameter can be used only with the -local or -USB option, each of which retrieves files from a predetermined directory on the local chassis or on an attached USB device. Therefore, subdirectories and absolute path names are not permitted.
B firmwareDownload Diagnostics The configuration download may fail for one or more of the following reasons: • The switch has not been disabled. Disabling the switch is not necessary for configuration files containing only certain SNMP or Fabric Watch parameters. You may wish to attempt configDownload first without disabling the switch, and if there is at least one changed parameter outside of Fabric Watch or SNMP, you are prompted to disable the switch before proceeding.
firmwareDownload B The new firmware is downloaded in the form of RPM packages. Package names are defined in pfile along with other firmware information (time stamp, platform code, version, etc.). These packages are made available periodically to add features or to remedy defects. Contact customer support to obtain information about available firmware versions.
B firmwareDownload -n Disables auto commit mode. When auto commit mode is disabled, the firmwareCommit command must be executed manually to propagate the downloaded image to both partitions of the storage device. host Specify a valid FTP or SSH server name or IP address. IPV4 and IPv6 addresses are supported. The firmware is downloaded from the specified host. If a host is not specified, the firmware is considered accessible on a local directory.
firmwareDownload Examples B To download the firmware to an HA switch over a network: switch:admin> firmwaredownload 192.168.166.30,johndoe,/pub/dist/release.plist,12345 The following BP blades are installed in the system.
