Chapter 1 Overview Overview of Fabric Manager Se n d d o c u m e n t a t i o n c o m m e n t s t o m d s f e e d b a ck - d o c @ c i s c o . c o m Start the process by setting up the hardware and performing the initial switch setup using the CLI. Then install Cisco Fabric Manager, and use it to configure VSANs, interfaces, zones, and zone sets, which are the minimum requirements for creating a fabric.
Chapter 1 Overview Overview of VSANs, Interfaces, Zones, and Zone Sets Se n d d o c u m e n t a t i o n c o m m e n t s t o m d s f e e d b a ck - d o c @ c i s c o . c o m VSANs and zoning within the MDS 9000 Family of products aid the SAN designer in building secure and manageable networking environments while optimizing the use and cost of switching hardware.

Chapter 2 Initial Switch Configuration Connecting the Console Port Se n d d o c u m e n t a t i o n c o m m e n t s t o m d s f e e d b a ck - d o c @ c i s c o . c o m Connecting the Console Port This section describes how to connect the RS-232 console port to a PC. The console port allows you to perform the following functions: • Configure the switch from the CLI. • Monitor network statistics and errors. • Configure SNMP agent parameters.

Note The PC must support VT100 terminal emulation.
Chapter 2 Initial Switch Configuration Connecting to the MGMT 10/100/1000 Ethernet Port Se n d d o c u m e n t a t i o n c o m m e n t s t o m d s f e e d b a ck - d o c @ c i s c o . c o m If only the active supervisor module is connected to the LAN and an event occurs that causes a system switchover (such as a software upgrade), the switch becomes unmanageable through the Ethernet port after the active supervisor module reboots and the standby supervisor module becomes the active supervisor module.

See Chapter 3, “Installing Fabric Manager,” for details. You can achieve higher security and greater stability in Fibre Channel fabrics by using virtual storage area networks (VSANs).

Each VSAN can contain up to 239 switches and has an independent address space that allows identical Fibre Channel IDs (FC IDs) to be used simultaneously in different VSANs.

For the switch to always assign the same FC ID to a device, persistent FC IDs and static Domain ID must be configured for the VSAN. Check the FICON check box if the VSAN is FICON-enabled. Click Create to add the VSAN.

You can use the Quick Config Wizard to perform interface-based zoning and to assign zone members for multiple VSANs using Device Manager.

You see the Quick Config Wizard dialog box shown in Figure B-2. Caution If there are discrepancies and you click OK, the affected VSANs in the zone databases are cleared. This may become disruptive if the switch is in use.

When a switch boots up or joins a new fabric, it can request a specific domain ID or take any available domain ID.
Appendix C Configuring Static Domain IDs and Persistent FC IDs Se n d d o c u m e n t a t i o n c o m m e n t s t o m d s f e e d b a ck - d o c @ c i s c o . c o m In the following procedure, the existing VSAN has a switch C-186 with a domain ID of 209. In Fabric Manager, the VSAN is statically configured and a persistent FC ID is enabled. This procedure does not alter the running domain ID.

For example, you might want to download the same configuration file to several switches that have the same hardware configuration so that they have identical module and port configurations.
Appendix D Configuration Files Saving the Configuration File Se n d d o c u m e n t a t i o n c o m m e n t s t o m d s f e e d b a ck - d o c @ c i s c o . c o m To copy the configuration file, follow these steps: Step 1 In the Physical Attributes pane, expand Switches > Copy Configuration. Step 2 Check the check box for each switch configuration that you want to save. Set the From and To fields for each switch. Step 3 Click Apply.
