Pre-Installation Planning Pre-Installation Planning Before beginning installation complete the following tasks: ■ It is recommended the firmware revisions on all ProCurve Blade Switches are at the same revision level. Some versions of the firmware might not be compatible. ■ Determine which mezzanine cards, HBAs, and interconnect Switches are going to be used and where they will be installed in the enclosure.
Switch Installation Switch Installation Installation guidelines Observe the following guidelines: ■ To support a redundant configuration for the Blade Switch, install a second Blade Switch of the same type in an adjacent bay. ■ To avoid connectivity loss, do not install different types of Blade Switches in interconnect bays connected to the same server blade mezzanine card.
Switch Installation Note 2. Prepare the Blade Switch for installation. 3. Install the Blade Switch into the interconnect bay. 4. If the enclosure configuration includes more than one Blade Switch, install the other Blade Switches now. 5. Connect the data center network cables to any Blade Switch port not being used. The 1000BASE-SFP, 10GBASE-XFP, and 10-GbE SFP+ ports can be used to connect to the data center if they are populated with a supported pluggable SFP, XFP, or SFP+ optical transceiver.
Switch Installation Accessing the Blade Switch from the HP BladeSystem Onboard Administrator These instructions assume that you have already set up the HP BladeSystem Onboard Administrator (OA) using the First Time Setup Wizard. See the HP BladeSystem Onboard Administrator User Guide for details on OA setup. For information on OA command line interface (CLI) commands, see the HP BladeSystem Onboard Administrator Command Line Interface User Guide. Both guides are available at www.hp.
Switch Installation ■ ■ OnBoard Administrator: • (preferred) Through the enclosure manager as described on page 11, “Accessing the Blade Switch from the HP BladeSystem Onboard Administrator” • Telnet to the out-of-band management port IP address. This is the IP address described on page 8. In-Band: Access the console using Telnet from a PC or UNIX station on the network, and a VT-100 terminal emulator.
Switch Installation 4. Connect the standard end of the supplied USB console cable to a workstation or laptop computer. The computer will recognize the presence of a new USB device and load the driver for it. 5. Using a terminal program (such as HyperTerminal or TeraTerm), open a connection to the USB port. (By default this port will appear as COM4.) 6. Press Enter twice. The blade switch CLI prompt appears. You are now ready to enter blade switch commands.
Switch Installation Installing a mini-GBIC, SFP+ or XFP transceiver 1. Remove the dust cap and save it for future use. 2. Install the transceiver with the label side up. Ensure the latch is closed and the transceiver is fully seated. Figure 8. Inserting a transceiver Removing a mini-GBIC Note Removing and installing a transceiver can shorten the useful life. Do not remove and insert transceivers more often than is necessary. 1. Disconnect all cables. 2. Open the latch and remove the transceiver.

Getting Started With Switch Configuration Getting Started With Switch Configuration This section is a guide for using the console Switch Setup screen to quickly assign an IP (Internet Protocol) address and subnet mask to the switch, set a Manager password, and, optionally, configure other basic features.
Using the Console Setup Screen Using the Console Setup Screen The quickest and easiest way to minimally configure the switch for management and password protection in your network is to use the OA. 1. Either use the OA connect command to connect to the switch’s console see “Accessing the Blade Switch from the HP BladeSystem Onboard Administrator” on page -11. or telnet to the IP address assigned by the enclousure bay addressing, see “Hardware setup overview” on page -8.
Where to Go From Here Table 3. Setup screen fields Parameter Default System Name blank Optional; up to 25 characters, including spaces System Contact blank Optional; up to 48 characters, including spaces Manager Password blank Recommended; up to 16 characters (no blank spaces) Logon Default CLI The default setting selects the command line interface for console access. The alternative is the menu interface. Time Zone 0 (none) Optional; 1440 to -1440.
Using the IP Address for Remote Switch Management Using the IP Address for Remote Switch Management The switch’s IP address can be used to manage the switch from any PC on the same subnet as the switch. Either a Telnet session or a standard web browser can be used to manage the switch. Starting a Telnet Session To access the switch through a Telnet session, follow these steps: 1.
Troubleshooting The following illustration shows a typical web browser interface screen. For more information on using the web browser interface, see the Management and Configuration Guide for the Series 6120 Switches, which is on the ProCurve Web site at www.hp.com/go/bladesystem/documentation. An extensive help system is also available for the web browser interface.
Basic Troubleshooting Tips Basic Troubleshooting Tips Most problems are caused by the following situations. Check for these items first when starting your troubleshooting: ■ Connecting to devices that have a fixed full-duplex configuration. The RJ-45 ports are configured as “Auto”.
Basic Troubleshooting Tips ■ Check the port configuration. A port on your switch may not be operating as you expect because it has been put into a “blocking” state by Spanning Tree, GVRP (automatic VLANs), or LACP (automatic trunking). (Note the normal operation of the Spanning Tree, GVRP, and LACP features may put the port in a blocking state.) Or, the port just may have been configured as disabled through software. Other switch features that may affect the port operation include VLANs and IGMP.
