HP StorageWorks Fabric OS 6.1.1 administrator guide (5697-0235, December 2009)

402 Configuring and monitoring FCIP extension services
11. If you are implementing FTRACE, configure FTRACE using the portcfg ftrace command. See
”FICON fabrics” on page 423 for specific instructions.
12. Check the configuration using the portshow fciptunnel command.
13. Persistently enable the ports using the portpersistentenable command.
14. Create a matching configuration on the 400 Multi-protocol Router or FR4-18i blade at the other end of
the tunnel.
15. Test the IP connection using the portcmd
--ping command. See ”FICON fabrics” on page 423 for
specific instructions.
Setting persistently disabled ports
Ports used on an FCIP tunnel must be persistently disabled before you can configure FCIP tunnels. you must
change their state from persistently disabled to persistently enabled.
1. Issue the portCfgShow command to view ports that are persistently disabled.
2. After identifying the ports, issue the portCfgPersistentDisable command to disable any ports
that you will use in the FCIP tunnel configuration.
Configuring VEX_Ports
If you are going to use a VEX port in your tunnel configuration, use the portCfgVexport command to
configure the port as a VEX port. Remember that a VEX port must be paired with a VE port. VEX ports
cannot communicate with other VEX ports.
To configure a VEX_Port:
1. Connect to the switch and log in using an account assigned to the admin role.
2. Issue the portCfgVEXPort command to configure a port to a VEX_Port:
portcfgvexport [slot/]ge0|ge1 [-a 1|2] [-f fabricid] [-d domainid] [-p 1|2|3]
[-t 1|2]
where:
The following example configures a port as a VEX_Port for slot number 8 in port number 18, enables
admin, and specifies fabric ID 2 and preferred Domain ID 220:
Configuring IP interfaces and IP routes
The IP network connection between two 400 Multi-protocol Router or two FR4-18i blades is configured by
defining IP interfaces for origin and destination virtual ports, and then defining one or more IP routes to
connect them.
1. Define the IP interface of each virtual port, using the portCfg command. You can define up to eight IP
interfaces per GbE port:
portcfg ipif [slot/]ge0|ge1 create src_ipaddr [mtu_size]
slot The number of a slot in a 4/256 SAN Director or DC Director chassis that contains
an FR4-18i blade. This parameter does not apply to the stand-alone 400
Multi-protocol Router.
ge0|ge1 The Ethernet port used by the tunnel (ge0 or ge1).
-a 1|2 Enables or disables admin (1 to enable or 2 to disable).
-f fabricid The fabric ID (a number from 1 to 128).
-d domainid The preferred Domain ID (a number from 1 to 239).
-p 1|2|3 The port ID format (1 for core, 2 for extended edge, and 3 for native).
-t 1|2 Specify 1 to enable or 2 to disable negotiate fabric parameters.
