1 Hardware Installation Overview The HP Advanced Services zl Module with Citrix XenServer™ Platform (J9747A) has XenServer pre-installed at the factory, and is ready for module installation in an HP E5400 zl or E8200 zl Series switch. The module automatically boots XenServer when installed in an HP E5400 zl or E8200 zl Series switch. You access the XenServer xsconsole management interface and the shell interface directly through the switch CLI.
Hardware Installation Installing the Module Installing the Module Installation Precautions Static electricity can severely damage the electronic components on the module. When handling and installing the module, follow these procedures to avoid damage from static electricity: • Handle the module by its bulkhead or edges and avoid touching the components and the circuitry on the board.
Hardware Installation Installing the Module Installing the Module 1. Confirm that the switch time is set and correct. For information on setting the switch time, See the Installation and Getting Started Guide, available at www.hp.com/networking/support. 2. If installing in an unused slot, use a Torx T-10 or flat-bladed screwdriver to unscrew the screws in the cover plates over the slot where you will install the module. Store the cover plates for possible future use. 3.
Hardware Installation Installing the Module The procedure to replace or remove a module is described in the Installation and Getting Started Guide, available at www.hp.com/networking/support. Verifying That the Module Is Installed Correctly If you have installed the module in a powered off HP zl switch, power up the switch. After the switch powers up, the module will begin to power up. If you have installed the module in a powered on switch, the module begins to power up immediately.
Hardware Installation Environmental Specifications Error conditions indicated by the module LEDs are described in Appendix C of the Installation and Getting Started Guide available on the web: www.hp.com/networking/support. Environmental Specifications Table 1-2. Environmental Specifications Temperature Operating* Non-Operating 0°C to 45°C (32°F to 113°F) -10°C to 65°C (-10°F to 149°F) Relative humidity (non-condensing) 15% to 90% at 40°C (104°F) 15% to 90% at 65°C (149°F) Maximum altitude 3.
Hardware Installation Environmental Specifications b. The 45°C limit always applies to the E8206 zl and E8212 zl switches no matter where you install the Advanced Services Modules. Figure 1-3.
2 Getting Started Getting Started You can now connect to the XenServer running on the module. Once you are connected, HP strongly recommends that you: Change the default password Set the correct time on the XenServer XenServer Defaults Set at Installation XenServer Setting Installed Setting Purpose and Use Primary Management Interface Automatic configuration (DHCP) This interface is used to connect to your network and to carry management traffic.
Getting Started Getting Started One RJ-45 (10/100/1000 Ethernet) port, located on the face of the module. This port connects to the module only and must be manually connected to a switch to be used for communications. Using the Switch CLI to Manage the XenServer The switch command line interface (CLI) can be used to manage the module (shutdown, reload, locate) and to provide status information on the module hardware.
Getting Started Getting Started Connecting to a Management Interface You have several options. Management Interface Description Access Using XenServer shell / XE Command Line Interface (CLI) Allows you to • From the switch CLI manager/configure administer XenServer context, enter services tech. using the Linux-based • From an SSH session to the Primary xe commands.
Getting Started Getting Started The CLI opens with information that contains the Primary Management Interface IP address, if set by a DHCP server on your network when the module was installed. If no DHCP server is found, the message IP address not configured appears. 2. Note Login using the default credentials, root and P@ssw0rd. Note that in the password, a has been replaced with @ and o has been replaced with the digit 0. 3.
Getting Started Getting Started 3. Select Quit from the top-level menu to return to the xe CLI. 4. Typing exit closes the xe CLI and logs you out. Type Control-z to return to the switch CLI. Accessing the Primary Management Interface Using SSH 1. Using the IP address of the Primary Management Interface, open a Telnet connection to access the xe CLI, using the default credentials. 2. Type exit to end your xe CLI session. The connection is closed.
Getting Started Next Steps not configured is displayed. To access a DHCP server, add module port 2 as an untagged member to a VLAN that provides the DHCP service required and restart the module using the services reload command from the switch CLI manager or manager/configure context. Use the menu-based xsconsole or XenCenter to manage the management interfaces of the module. Next Steps Installing XenCenter HP recommends installing XenCenter to manage your XenServer host module.
3 Troubleshooting Quick Tips Detailed troubleshooting information for the module is available in its Installation and Getting Started Guide at www.hp.com/networking/support. Some basic tips appear below: Caution The module fails to boot or the Module Status LED is not solid green Be patient. The module takes several minutes to boot initially, and you must not interrupt this process. • Check the switch’s software version. It must be K15.05 or greater.
Troubleshooting Quick Tips HP Switch# show services Installed Services Slot Index Description E 1. Services zl Module E 2. Threat Management Services zl Module HP Switch# Name services-module tms-module This message appears when other services are installed in the switch. The XenServer host module is independent of the switch services, so it is not listed.
Troubleshooting Quick Tips I want to see the status and version of the XenServer host module, but the output of the show services details command tells me that the hardware is ready. What does this mean? Here is what you would see running the above command for a XenServer host module in slot C: HP Switch# show services c details Status and Counters - Services Module C Status HP Services zl Module J9685A Versions Current status : A.01.
Troubleshooting HP Customer Support Services No, this is normal. What you are seeing is XenServer starting up. You can wait until the startup is complete (you will see the xe CLI login) or type Control-z and try accessing the xe CLI again in a few minutes. If you wait, it may take a minute or two to complete the boot process. The screen may at times stop scrolling, but this is normal, so be patient. The module fails to receive a DHCP address.
