1 Getting started There are several references to additional switch manuals in this document. To access them online, go to HP website www.hp.com select Storage and then search for your product. Time and items required The migration procedure can take anywhere from 30 minutes to over two hours, depending on how many of the upgrade tasks may have already been done. The Fabric OS upgrade from version 6.4.x to 7.0.
Upgrading the DC chassis to an SN8000B chassis HP recommends the following sequence of steps to upgrade your HP DC SAN Backbone Director Switch chassis (DC or DC04) to an HP SN8000B SAN Director chassis (SN8000 4-slot or SN8000B 8-slot). Because upgrading to Fabric OS 7.0.x can be performed non-disruptively, you have the option of reversing the order of steps 1 and 2.
The chassis must be powered off when replacing the core blades. The power on process takes 20 to 30 minutes. Additional considerations for time can include the following: • Installing additional power supplies • Removing unsupported blades and installing supported blades • Cabling new blades or relocating existing cables Recording critical backbone information Back up the backbone configuration before you upgrade a CP blade. See the Fabric OS Administrator’s Guide for backup information.
5. Use one of the following procedures to upload the configuration if you have not already done so: NOTE: This configuration information is critical if emergency recovery must be performed. • Enter the fosconfig --show command to determine if virtual fabrics are enabled. • If virtual fabrics are enabled, enter the configupload -vf command followed by the configupload -all command, which uploads the backbone virtual fabric data. Record the IP addresses assigned to any logical switches.
----------------------------------------------------------------2 FS8-18 v7.0.0 Encrypted Traffic 10 FX8-24 v7.0.0 GigE This command will upgrade the firmware on both CPs and all AP blades above. If you want to upgrade firmware on a single CP only, please use -s option. You may run firmwaredownloadstatus to get the status of this command. This command will cause a warm/non-disruptive boot on the active CP, but will require that existing telnet, secure telnet or SSH sessions be restarted.
ldconfig ################################################## 5. When the download process finishes, enter firmwareDownloadStatus to verify that the firmware has been updated. The command displays a running account of the progress of the firmwareDownload command until the command has completed. The final message is similar to the following and appears with a date and time stamp: Slot 6 (CP0, active): Firmwaredownload command has completed successfully.
1. Shut down the chassis using the sysShutdown command: switch::admin> sysshutdown This command will shutdown the operating systems on your switch. You are required to power-cycle the switch in order to restore operation. Are you sure you want to shutdown the switch [y/n]?y HA is disabled Stopping blade 1 Shutting down the blade.... Stopping blade 2 Shutting down the blade.... Stopping blade 8 Shutting down the blade....
3. Open both ejectors simultaneously to approximately 45 degrees and pull the core switch blade out of the chassis. Figure 1 Core switch blade (CR8) removal Inserting a CR16–8 or CR16–4 core switch blade See Figure 2 (page 12) for this procedure. A SN8000B 8-slot is shown in the example. The SN8000B 4-slot is similar, but horizontally oriented. 1. Open the ejectors by rotating them toward the center of the blade face. Orient the CR16 blade so that the handles are toward you. 2.
4. Tighten the thumbscrews. Figure 2 Core switch blade (CR16-8) Installing additional power supplies In order to meet the power requirements of the chassis after you have made your changes, you may need additional power supplies. NOTE: HP recommends that you check the power requirements for a post-migration chassis. Fabric OS behavior has changed with version 7.0.0 and later, which has changed the power requirements.
4. 5. 6. Replace the power cord. Latch the power cord retainer clip. If you are installing two new power supplies in a SN8000B 8-slot chassis to bring the total of power supplies up to four, you should change the switchstatus policy settings for power supplies to the following in order to enable the call home feature if one power supply goes down. Use the switchStatusPolicyShow command to view the policy settings and the switchStatusPolicySet command to change them.
• FR4-18i • FCOE10-24 CAUTION: Follow ESD precautions while replacing any blade. Removing a blade NOTE: If any cables and transceivers are going to be retained for the compatible 8 Gbps port blades, be sure to label those cables and keep a map of their connections. 1. Disconnect all cables and the SFP, SFP+, or XFP transceivers from the blade. You can use the extraction tool (Figure 3 (page 14)) to remove the transceivers if necessary. Figure 3 Optical transceiver (SFP+ and XFP) extraction tool 2.
• FS8-18 • FC8-32E (must be Fabric OS 7.0.1 or later) • FC8-48E (must be Fabric OS 7.0.1 or later) Inserting a blade Complete the following steps to insert a blade. For this procedure, see Figure 2 (page 12). Any open slots that do not have replacement blades inserted must be filled with filler panels in order to maintain proper cooling of the chassis. 1. Orient the blade so that the ports are at the front of the chassis. 2.
Inserting an mSFP or SFP+ transceiver 1. Position the optical transceiver so that the key is oriented correctly to the port. Insert the transceiver into the port until it is firmly seated and the latching mechanism clicks. Transceivers are keyed so that they can be inserted only with the correct orientation. If a transceiver does not slide in easily, make sure that it is correctly oriented. Insert all the required transceivers before inserting the cables.
Figure 4 QSFP cable and transceiver Follow these steps to install the QSFP transceivers and cables in the 16 Gbps core blades. These transceivers and cables are used to form the ICLs with neighboring DC 8510 Backbones. NOTE: The transceivers should be installed in the blades before connecting the cables. Because each QSFP transceiver contains four 16 Gbps ports, be aware that any problems with one port could affect all four ports if the QSFP transceiver must be replaced. 1.
