HP StorageWorks SAN Director Installation Guide (A7393-90009, May 2007)

Installing and configuring the 4/256 SAN Director62
The basic steps required for the initial configuration are:
1. Log in to the Director.
2. Set up IP addresses.
3. Establish an Ethernet connection.
4. Specify a Director name.
5. Specify a domain ID for the Director.
6. Verify that the PID mode matches the fabric and connect the Director to the fabric.
7. Enable software licenses as necessary.
8. Back up the configuration.
Configure IP addresses for the 4/256 SAN Director
The 4/256 SAN Director requires three IP addresses, which are configured using the ipAddrSet
command. IP addresses are required for both CP cards (CP0 and CP1) and for the single logical
switch (shown as SWITCH under the ipAddrShow command) in the 4/256 SAN Director.
NOTE: The IP and gateway addresses must reside on the same subnet. The same gateway address
must be used for both CP cards (these gateway addresses are referenced for the IP addresses).
Resetting an IP address while the 4/256 SAN Director has active IP traffic such as Fabric Manager,
Fabric Watch, SNMP, or other applications can cause traffic to be interrupted or stopped.
Changing the IP address causes a domain address format RSCN to be issued.
The addresses 10.0.0.0 through 10.0.0.255 are reserved and used internally by the switch. External
IPs cannot use these addresses either.
The default IP addresses and host names for the 4/256 SAN Director are as follows:
• 10.77.77.75 / CP0 (the CP card in slot 5 at the time of configuration)
• 10.77.77.74 / CP1 (the CP card in slot 6 at the time of configuration)
Configuration changes can only be made through the active CP card. If the CP card in slot 5 is not
the active CP card, disconnect the serial cable and connect it to the CP card in slot 6; then, log in as
admin. The default password is “password.”
