Switch Manager Managing fabrics This section describes the following tasks that manage fabrics: ■ Managing fabric security, page 35 ■ Managing the fabric database, page 36 ■ Displaying fabric information, page 40 ■ Zoning a fabric, page 45 Managing fabric security The components of Fibre Channel fabric security are: ■ User account security ■ Fabric services Note: HP does not support Inter-Switch Links (ISLs), also known as E-Ports, between two or more switches.
Switch Manager Fabric services Fabric services security includes SNMP and In-band management. Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is the protocol governing network management and monitoring of network devices. SNMP security consists of a read community string and a write community string, which are basically the passwords that control read and write access to the switch.
Switch Manager Figure 12: Add a New Fabric dialog box 2. Enter a fabric name (optional) and the IP address of the switch through which to manage the fabric. 3. Enter an account name and password.

Select File > Save As. 3. Select a folder and enter a file name in which to save the event log, and then click Save. The file can be saved in XML, CSV, or text format. XML files can be opened with an internet browser or text editor. CSV files can be opened with Microsoft Excel or most spreadsheet applications.
Switch Manager Zoning a fabric Zoning enables you to divide the ports and devices of the fabric into zones for more efficient and secure communication among functionally grouped nodes.
Switch Manager Two types of zones are supported. The following zone types define increasingly restrictive levels of communication. ■ Soft zones ■ Hard zones (ACL zoning) Soft Zones Soft zoning divides the fabric for purposes of controlling discovery. Devices within the same soft zone automatically discover and communicate freely with all other members of the same zone. The soft zone boundary is not secure; traffic across soft zones can occur if addressed correctly.
Switch Manager The zoning limits for a fabric are as follows: ■ MaxZoneSets is 256—The maximum number of zone sets that can be configured on the switch. This is enforced during the configuration of zoning and during a zoning database merge from the fabric. ■ MaxZones is 256—The maximum number of zones that can be configured on the switch. This is enforced during the configuration of zoning and during a zoning database merge from the fabric.
Switch Manager Using the Zoning Config dialog box Use the Zoning Config dialog box to change the Interop Auto Save and Default Visibility configuration parameters. In the faceplate display, select Zoning > Edit Zoning Config to open the Zoning Config dialog box (Figure 16). After making changes, click OK to put the new values into effect.
Switch Manager Merging fabrics and zoning Note: HP does not support merging fabrics. Zone merge failure A zone merge fails if the two active zone sets have member zones with identical names that differ in membership or type. For example, consider Fabric A and Fabric B, each with a soft zone named “ZN1” in its active zone set. Fabric A “ZN1” contains a member specified by Domain ID 1 and Port 1; Fabric B “ZN1” contains a member specified by Domain ID 1 and Port 2.
Switch Manager 1 2 1 Zone sets tree 2 Port/Device tree Figure 17: Edit Zoning dialog box Note: If the Interop Mode parameter is enabled on the Switch Properties dialog box, every time the active zone set changes, the switch copies it into an inactive zone set stored on the switch. You can edit this copy of the active zone set stored on the switch, and activate the updated copy to apply the changes to the active zone set. The edited copy then becomes the active zone set.
Switch Manager Table 8: Edit Zoning dialog box tool bar buttons and icons Tool bar button / icon Description Create Zone Set—Create a new zone set Create Zone—Create a new zone Create Alias—Create another name for a set of objects Insert Member—Add the selected zone to a zone set, or add the selected port/device to a zone Remove Member—Delete the selected zone from a zone set, or delete the selected port/device from a zone Switch port—Not logged in Switch port—Logged in NL_Port (loop) device—Logged int
Switch Manager Managing zone sets Zoning a fabric involves creating a zone set, creating zones as zone set members, and then adding devices as zone members. The zoning database supports multiple zone sets to serve the different security and access needs of your storage area network, but only one zone set can be active at one time.
Switch Manager Copying a zone to a zone set To copy an existing zone and its membership from one zone set to another, Do the following: 1. Select the zone and drag it to the chosen zone set. 2. Click Apply to save changes to the zoning database. Removing a zone from a zone set or from all zone sets You can remove a zone from a zone set or from all zone sets in the database. 1. Select Zoning > Edit Zoning. The Edit Zoning dialog box is displayed (Figure 17). 2.
Switch Manager Managing zones Managing zones involves the following: ■ Creating a zone in a zone set ■ Adding zone members ■ Creating a member ■ Renaming a zone or a zone set ■ Removing a zone member ■ Removing a zone from a zone set ■ Removing a zone from all zone sets ■ Changing zone types Note: Changes that you make to the zoning database are limited to the managed switch and do not propagate to the rest of the fabric.
Switch Manager Adding zone members Adding a zone member to a zone affects every zone set in which that zone is a member. To add member ports/devices to a zone, do one of the following: ■ Select a port by port number, Fibre Channel address, or World Wide Name in the Port/Device tree, and drag it into the zone. To select and drag multiple ports/devices, press and hold Ctrl while dragging. ■ Select one or more ports by port number, Fibre Channel address, or World Wide Name in the Port/Device tree.

Switch Manager 110 HP StorageWorks 2/8q Fibre Channel Switch Management User Guide
Command Line Interface 2 The command line interface (CLI) enables you to perform a variety of fabric and switch management tasks through an Ethernet or a serial port connection.
Command Line Interface Logging on to a switch To log on to a switch using a Telnet session, open a command line window on the workstation and enter the Telnet command followed by the switch IP address: # telnet ip_address A Telnet window opens prompting you for a login. Enter an account name and password. To log on to a switch through the serial port, configure the workstation port with the following settings and enter an account name and password when prompted.
Command Line Interface Working with switch configurations Successful management of switches and fabrics with the command line interface depends on the effective use of switch configurations. Key switch management tasks include: ■ Modifying a configuration ■ Backing up a switch configuration ■ Restoring a switch configuration Modifying a configuration A switch supports up to 10 configurations including the default configuration.
Command Line Interface Backing up a switch configuration Backing up and restoring a configuration is useful to protect your work or for use as a template in configuring other switches. The Config Backup command creates a file on the switch, named configdata. This file can be used to restore a switch configuration only from the command line interface; it cannot be used to restore a switch using Switch Manager.
Command Line Interface Restoring a switch configuration The restore operation begins with FTP to upload the configuration file from the workstation to the switch, and then finishes with a Telnet session and the Config Restore command. To upload the configuration file, config_switch_169_10112003 in this case, open and FTP session with account name images and password images.
Command Line Interface Commands The command is followed by one or more keywords. Consider the following rules and conventions: ■ Commands and keywords are case insensitive. ■ Required keyword values appear in standard font: [value]. Optional values are shown in italics: [value]. ■ Underlined portions of the keyword in the command format indicate the abbreviated form that can be used. For example the Delete keyword can be abbreviated Del.

Aliases make it easier to assign a set of ports/devices to many zones. An alias can not have a zone or another alias as a member. Authority Admin session for all keywords except List and Members.
Command Line Interface DELETE [ALIAS] Deletes the specified alias given by [alias] from the zoning database. If the alias is a member of the active zone set, the alias will not be removed from the active zone set until the active zone set is deactivated. LIST Displays a list of all aliases. This keyword does not require an admin session. MEMBERS [ALIAS] Displays all members of the alias given by [alias]. This keyword does not require an admin session.
Command Line Interface COPY [config_source] [config_destination] Copies the configuration given by [config_source] to the configuration given by [config_destination]. The switch supports up to 10 configurations including the default configuration. DELETE [config_name] Deletes the configuration given by [config_name] from the switch. EDIT [config_name] Opens an edit session for the configuration given by [config_name]. If you omit [config_name], the currently active configuration is used.
Command Line Interface 2/8q FC Switch (admin-config) #> config cancel Configuration mode will be canceled.
Command Line Interface Create Support command Assembles all log files and switch memory data into a core dump file (dump_support.tgz zip) and prompts you to send it to a remote host. This file is useful to technical support personnel for troubleshooting switch problems. Use this command when directed by your HP Authorized Service Provider. The command prompts for the IP address of the remote host, an account name and password on the remote host, and a pathname for an existing folder on the remote host.
