Overview 1 This chapter contains the following HP StorageWorks Director 2/140 information: ■ Director Description, page 18 ■ Features, page 18 ■ Hardware Components, page 24 ■ Tools and Test Equipment, page 31 ■ Optional Kits, page 34 Director 2/140 Installation Guide 17
Overview Director Description The director is a second-generation, 140-port product that provides dynamic switched connections between Fibre Channel servers and devices in a SAN environment. Directors are managed and controlled through an High Availability Fabric Manager (HAFM) appliance with HAFM and Director 2/140 Element Manager installed. The HAFM appliance is a 1U rack-mount appliance that provides a central point of control for up to 48 directors and/or edge switches.
Overview Director Management The director is managed and controlled through: ■ The HAFM application. This graphical user interface (GUI) resides on the HAFM appliance and provides a single point of management for all directors, and a launching point for the Director 2/140 Element Manager. ■ Simple network management protocol (SNMP).
Overview ■ A customer-supplied PC platform with a network connection to the EWS interface installed on the director. ■ A customer-supplied server platform communicating with the switch through a LAN or corporate intranet. The HAFM applications are ordered and installed on the server by the customer.
Overview ■ A modular design that enables quick removal and replacement of FRUs without tools or equipment. ■ Concurrent port maintenance—UPM cards are added or replaced and fiber-optic cables are attached to ports without interrupting other ports or director operation. ■ Beaconing to assist service personnel in locating a specific port, FRU, or director in a multi-switch environment. When port beaconing is enabled, the amber LED associated with the port flashes.
Overview Zoning The director supports a name server zoning feature that partitions attached devices into restricted-access groups called zones. Devices in the same zone can recognize and communicate with each other through switched port-to-port connections. Devices in separate zones cannot communicate with each other. Zoning is configured by authorizing or restricting access to name server information associated with device N_Ports that attach to director fabric ports (F_Ports).
Overview ■ Domain ID assignment—Each director in a fabric is identified by a unique domain ID that ranges from 1 through 31. A domain ID of 0 is invalid. If two operational fabrics join, they determine if any domain ID conflicts exist between the fabrics. If one or more conflicts exist, the E_Ports that form the interswitch link (ISL) segment to prevent the fabrics from joining.
Overview — Build fabric protocol error—A protocol error is detected during the process of forming the fabric. — No principal switch—No director in the fabric is capable of becoming the principal switch. — No response from attached switch—After a fabric is created, each director in the fabric periodically verifies operation of all attached switches and directors. An ISL segments if a switch or director does not respond to a verification request.
Overview 1 2 3 4 1 2 Front bezel Power and system error LEDs 3 4 UPM cards (32) CTP cards Figure 1: Director components—front CTP Card The Director 2/140 ships with two Control Processor (CTP) cards. The active CTP card initializes and configures the director after power on, and contains the microprocessor and associated logic that coordinate director operation. The second CTP card serves as a backup. A CTP card provides an Initial Machine Load (IML) button on the faceplate.
Overview cards provide non-volatile memory for storing firmware director configuration information, persistent operating parameters, and memory dump files. Director firmware is upgraded concurrently (without disrupting operation). Each card faceplate contains a green light emitting diode (LED) that turns ON if the card is operational and active, and an amber LED that turns ON if the card fails. The LEDs are OFF on the backup CTP. The amber LED FLASHES if beaconing is enabled.
Overview ■ An amber I LIM LED turns ON if the power supply is overloaded and operating at the current limit (15.6 A). Power supply requirements are listed in Appendix B. UPM Card Each Universal Port Module (UPM) card provides four full-duplex generic ports (G_Ports) that transmit or receive data at 1.063 or 2.125 gigabits per second (Gbps). G_Port functionality depends on the type of cable attachment.
Overview UPM 1 2 1 2 3 3 Card LED Port LEDs Port Connectors (G_Ports) SHR-2 Figure 2: UPM card LEDs and connectors Single-mode or multi-mode fiber-optic cables attach to UPM cards through small form factor pluggable (SFP) optic transceivers. The fiber-optic transceivers provide duplex connectors, and can be detached from UPM cards (through a 10-pin interface) for easy replacement.
Overview ■ Extended reach long-wave Laser—Long-wave laser transceivers that provide connections for transferring data over extended long distances (up to 35 kilometers) through 9-µm single-mode fiber. Rear View Figure 3 shows the components accessible from the rear of the Director 2/140.
Overview Fan Modules Three fan modules, each containing one system fan (three system fans total), provide cooling for director FRUs, as well as providing redundancy for continued operation if a fan fails. The fan module can be replaced while the director is powered on and operating, provided the module is replaced within 10 minutes (after which software powers off the director). An amber LED for each fan module turns ON if one or more fans fail or rotate at insufficient velocity.
Overview Backplane The backplane provides 48 VDC power distribution and connections for all logic cards. The backplane is a nonconcurrent FRU. The director must be powered off prior to FRU removal and replacement. Tools and Test Equipment This section describes tools and test equipment that may be required to test, service, and verify operation of the director and attached HAFM appliance. These tools are either supplied with the director or must be supplied by service personnel.
Overview ■ Loopback plug—An SFP multi-mode (shortwave laser) or single-mode (longwave laser) loopback plug, as shown in Figure 5, is required to perform port loopback diagnostic tests. One loopback plug is shipped with the director, depending on the type of port transceivers installed. Both plugs are shipped if shortwave laser and longwave laser transceivers are installed.
Overview Figure 7: Null modem cable Tools Supplied by Service Personnel The following tools are expected to be supplied by service personnel performing director installation or maintenance actions. Use of the tools may be required to perform one or more test, service, or verification tasks. ■ Scissors or pocket knife—A sharp cutting edge (scissors or knife blade) may be required to cut the protective strapping when unpacking replacement FRUs.
Overview ■ Fiber-optic cleaning kit—The kit contains tools and instructions to clean fiber-optic cable, connectors, loopback plugs, and protective plugs.

Enter a director name of 24 or fewer alphanumeric characters in the Name field. Each director should be configured with a unique name. 3.
Installing and Configuring the Director the director is set to FICON management style, and FICON devices can communicate with each other if the director is set to open systems management style. Note: If the FICON management server feature is enabled, the default management style is FICON. Open systems management style cannot be enabled. To configure the director management style: 1. Ensure the director is set offline. For instructions, see “Setting the Director Offline” on page 68. 2.
Installing and Configuring the Director 2. Choose Configure > Operating Parameters > Switch Parameters. The Configure Switch Parameters dialog box displays, as shown in Figure 28. Figure 28: Configure Switch Parameters dialog box Ordinarily, you do not need to change values in this dialog box from their defaults. The only exception is the Preferred Domain ID. Change this value if the director will participate in a multi-switch fabric. 3.
Installing and Configuring the Director Use this field to set a unique domain ID for the director. The default value is 1. Set a value between 1 and 31. When a director comes online with a preferred ID, it requests an ID from the fabric’s principal director (indicating its preferred value as part of the request). If the requested domain ID is not allocated to the fabric, the domain ID is assigned to the requesting director. If the requested domain ID is already allocated, an unused domain ID is assigned.
Installing and Configuring the Director routed over this new path if its hop count is less than a previous path with a minimum hop count. This may result in frames being delivered to a destination out of order since frames sent over the new, shorter path may arrive ahead of older frames still in route over the older path. If rerouting delay is enabled, traffic ceases in the fabric for the time specified in the E_D_TOV field of the Configure Fabric Parameters dialog box.
Installing and Configuring the Director Configuring Fabric Parameters Use procedures in this section to set parameters on the director for fabric operation through the Configure Fabric Parameters dialog box. These parameters are stored in NV-RAM on the director. 1. Verify that the director is set offline. For instructions, see “Setting the Director Offline” on page 68. Caution: Setting the director offline terminates all Fibre Channel connections. 2.
Installing and Configuring the Director BB_Credit Configure the director to support buffer-to-buffer credit (BB_Credit) from 1 through 60. This is the value used for all ports, except those configured for extended distance buffering (10-100 km). The default value is 16. For a description of the buffer-to-buffer credit, refer to the industry specification, Fibre Channel Physical and Signaling Interface. R_A_TOV Configure resource allocation time-out value (R_A_TOV) in tenth-of-a-second increments.
Installing and Configuring the Director Setting these priority values determines the principal director selected for the multi-switch fabric. For example, if you have three directors in the fabric and set one as Principal, one as Default, and one as Never Principal, the unit set to Principal becomes the principal director in the fabric. If all directors are set to Principal or Default, the director with the highest priority and the lowest WWN becomes the principal director.
Installing and Configuring the Director Configuring Preferred Path The preferred path feature allows a user to specify and configure one or more ISL data paths between multiple directors or switches in a fabric. Each participating director or switch must be configured as part of a desired path. For complete procedures on configuring this optional feature, refer to HP StorageWorks Director Element Manager User Guide.
