Installation and safety considerations Install the switch using one of the following methods: • As a stand-alone unit on a flat surface. See Installing the switch as a stand-alone device on page 40. • HP highly recommends mounting the switch in one of the following HP customized racks: • HP System/e Rack • HP 10000 G2 Series Rack, HP 9000 Series Rack and HP 10000 Series Rack See Installing the switch using the SAN Switch Rack Mount Kit on page 41 for detailed instructions.
IMPORTANT: The 40 ºC value applies to the ambient air temperature at the air intake vents on the nonport side of the switch. The temperature inside the switch can be up to 80 ºC (176 ºF) during switch operation. If the internal temperature range exceeds the operating ranges of the components, the LEDs, error messages, and Fabric Watch alerts indicate a problem. Enter the tempshow or Fabric Watch command to view temperature status.
• Ensure that the ambient air temperature does not exceed 40 ºC (104 ºF) while the switch is operating. NOTE: Do not block air vents. The switch uses ambient air for cooling. Installing the switch as a stand-alone device To install the switch as a stand-alone unit: 1. Unpack the switch and verify that all items listed in Shipping carton contents on page 35 are present. 2. Locate the four rubber feet in the accessory box. 3. Apply the adhesive rubber feet to the switch.
Installing the switch using the SAN Switch Rack Mount Kit This section provides instructions for installing the SAN Switch in the following HP custom racks: • HP System/e Rack • HP 10000 G2 Series rack, HP 9000 and HP 10000 Series racks For optimal cable management, HP recommends that you install the SAN Switch Rack Mount Kit to allow the nonport side of the switch to slide out of the cool-air side of the rack. In this installation, the port side of the switch is set 12.
Table 4 SAN Switch Rack Mount Kit hardware Item Description Two rear mounting brackets A right inner rail and a right outer rail A left inner rail and a left outer rail 14 #8-32 x 3/16-inch Phillips pan-head screws with thread lock for use with the SAN Switch 2/32 only.
CAUTION: For proper airflow, the SFP media side of the SAN Switch must face the rear of the rack. To install the switch in a rack: 1. Verify that the required parts and hardware are available. See Table 3 on page 36. 2. Choose a mounting location for the switch in the rack. 3.
4. Assemble the outer rails by completing option a or option b: a. Attach the left outer rail and the right outer rail to the rear mounting brackets using two 1/4-20 hex nuts with captive star lock-washers attached loosely, as shown in Figure 12. Do not tighten the nuts until completing the steps in Securing the switch to the outer rails, page 50.
b. Depending on the rack you are using, complete one of the following tasks: • For HP 10000 series racks, install two #10-32 x 1/2-inch Phillips pan-head screws with captive star lock-washers and two #10 adapter washers in the upper and lower hole locations of the right rail. Then install two #10-32 x 1/2-inch Phillips pan-head screws with captive star lock-washers and two #10 adapter washers in the upper and lower hole locations of the left rail. See Figure 13.
Figure 14 Assembling the outer rails (HP System/e Rack) 5. Depending on the device model, the SAN Switch Rack Mount Kit requires different screw types for securing the inner rails. Use Table 5 to determine the number and screw type for your specific switch. CAUTION: Do not use any screws other than those provided. Using longer screws than those provided can cause damage to internal components.
6. Identify the screw holes to be used on the inner rails designed for the switch: • To attach the inner rails to the SAN Switch 2/32 use the screw holes marked 32. • To attach the inner rails to the 4/8, /16 and 4/32B SAN Switches, use five screw holes marked 8, and the plenum requires one screw hole marked 8 and one screw hole marked 16, as shown in Figure 15 on page 48. • To attach the inner rails to the 4/32 or 4/64 SAN Switch, use the screw holes marked 16, as shown in Figure 16 on page 48. 7.
8. If you are installing the 4/8, 4/16 or 4/32B SAN Switch, verify that a plenum (an air duct that attaches to the switch rails, enabling the switch to draw cooler air into the switch from outside the rack, rather than drawing in heated air from within the rack.) is preinstalled, as shown in Figure 15. If not installed, see Installing the Plenum (if required), page 49 to install a plenum on the 4/8, 4/16 or 4/32B SAN Switch.
Installing the Plenum (if required) If installing one of the following SAN switches only, you must install the plenum that ships in the accessory kit with the rack mount hardware: • 4/8 SAN Switch • 4/16 SAN Switch • 4/32B SAN Switch To install the plenum: 1. Place the device (with inner rails attached) on a flat surface, see Figure 17. 2. Obtain the plenum and four 8-32 x .312 Phillips Pan-head SEMs screws from the accessory kit. 3.
NOTE: Figure 17 illustrates how to attach the plenum to the 4/8 or 4/16 SAN Switch specifically. If installing the plenum on the 4/32B SAN Switch, the procedure and figure also applies. 1 2 ! 3 AT TE Ma NT IO mo xim N: unt um ing scr to ew be len 5m gth m for or 13/ rack 64 in.

Figure 18 Securing the switch (in HP 9000 Series or HP 10000 Series Racks) Figure 19 Securing the switch (in an HP System/e rack) 3. Tighten the hex nuts installed earlier. See step 4a, page 44. NOTE: To uninstall a switch, remove the middle #10-32 x 1/2-inch Phillips pan-head screw with captive star lock-washer from either side of the rack uprights. This completes the rack mount procedure.
Cabling and configuring the SAN Switch The SAN Switch must be configured to ensure correct operation with a network and fabric. For instructions on configuring the switch to operate in a fabric containing switches from other vendors, see the Fabric OS administrator’s guide. For more information about the commands used in this procedure, see the Fabric OS command reference manual for the Fabric OS version running on your switch.
Connecting the SAN Switch to the fabric Connecting the SAN Switch to the fabric involves the following steps: 1. Obtain required items on page 53 2. Make a serial connection on page 53 3. Apply power to the switch and log in on page 56 4. Set the IP address on page 57 5. Create an Ethernet connection on page 58 6. Modify the FC domain ID (optional) on page 58 7. Install the SFP transceivers on page 59 8. Connect the cables on page 60 9. Verify the configuration on page 60 10.
NOTE: If the serial port on the workstation uses an RJ-45 connector instead of an RS-232 connector, remove the adapter on the end of the serial cable and insert the exposed RJ-45 connector into the RJ-45 serial port on the workstation. IO IO I ! ck .
NOTE: Figure 20 shows the 4/16 SAN Switch; however, this procedure is similar for all SAN Switches. 3. Close any serial communication programs running on the workstation. 4.
Apply power to the switch and log in Once a serial connection is established, apply power to the switch: 1. Connect the power cord to a power inlet on the switch and a power source, as shown in Figure 21. NOTE: The 4/32, 4/32B and 4/64 SAN Switch models use two power cords. The 4/8 and 4/16 SAN Switches use one power cord. IO IO I ! ck .
4. When the terminal emulator application, which uses a serial connection, stops reporting information, press Enter to display the login prompt. 5. Log in using the administrative account; the logon is admin and the default password is password. Create up to two simultaneous admin sessions and four user sessions. For more details, see the Fabric OS administrator’s guide and the Fabric OS command reference manual for the Fabric OS running on your switch.
Create an Ethernet connection To create an Ethernet connection: 1. Connect an Ethernet cable to the Ethernet port and to the workstation, or to an Ethernet network containing the workstation, as shown in Figure 22 on page 58. NOTE: Figure 22 shows the 4/16 SAN Switch; however, this procedure is similar for all SAN Switches. IO IO I ! ck .
3. At the Fabric Parameters prompt, enter y and press Enter: Fabric Parameters (yes, y, no, n): (no) y 4. Enter a unique domain ID, such as the domain ID used by the previous switch, if it is still available: Domain: (1..239) [1] 3 5. Respond to the remaining prompts or press Ctrl+D to accept the default settings. 6. Issue the switchenable command to re-enable the switch. 7. Optional: Specify any custom status policies: a. Issue the switchstatuspolicyset command.
Connect the cables CAUTION: The minimum bend radius for a 50-micron cable is 2 inches under full tensile load and 1.2 inches with no tensile load. Because they are easily overtightened, HP does not recommend tie wraps for optical cables. To connect the cables to the SFP transceivers: 1. The cable connectors are keyed to ensure correct orientation.
Set the switch date and time The date and time switch settings are used for logging events. Switch operation does not depend on the date and time; a switch with an incorrect date and time value still functions properly. You can synchronize the local time of the principal or primary Fabric Configuration Server (FCS) switch with that of an external Network Time Protocol (NTP) server. To set the date and time for a switch (see Example 2 following the procedure): 1. Log in to the switch as admin. 2.
Example 3: switch:admin> tsclockserver LOCL switch:admin> tsclockserver 132.163.135.131 switch:admin> Set the time zone To set the time zone: 1. Log in as admin. 2. Issue the following tstimezone command: tstimezone[houroffset] [minuteoffset] • • • • For For For For Pacific Standard Time, enter tstimezone –8,0. Mountain Standard Time, enter tstimezone –7,0. Central Standard Time, enter tstimezone –6,0. Eastern Standard Time, enter tstimezone –5,0.

3 Managing SAN Switches This chapter describes the following topics: • • • • • • • • • • • • • • Powering on and off, page 66 SAN Switch management features, page 67 Managing SAN Switches from a single management station, page 67 Interpreting LED activity, page 69 4/8 and 4/16 SAN Switch LEDs, page 69 4/8 and 4/16 SAN Switch LED patterns, page 70 4/32 SAN Switch port side LEDs, page 74 4/32 SAN Switch nonport side LEDs, page 78 4/64 SAN Switch port side LEDs, page 79 4/64 SAN Switch nonport side LEDs, page
Powering on and off The following sections provide information on powering specific SAN Switch models on and off. 4/8 and 4/16 SAN Switch models To power on: 1. Connect one end of the power cord to the AC inlet on the switch; connect the other end to a power source. 2. Set the AC power switch to I. The switch runs POST each time it is powered on, reset, or rebooted. POST requires approximately three minutes. To power off: 1. Set the AC power switch to O. 2. Remove the power cords from the power sources.
SAN Switch management features SAN Switches use built-in management tools to help you monitor fabric topology, check port status, and debug the switch. Table 7 lists the management tools available. When running IP over FC, these management tools must be supported by both HBA and HBA drivers. For a list of supported HBAs, see the HP StorageWorks SAN design guide: http://www.hp.com/go/sandesignguide.
