Remove the shipping plug from the Serial port. 2. Connect the Serial cable to the Serial port, see Figure 14. SHR-2551A Figure 14: Connecting the Serial cable 3.
Installing the SAN Switch 2/16 Note: These steps show instructions specific to HyperTerminal. If you are using a different application, consult that application’s documentation. 6. Using HyperTerminal (or similar application), configure the Port Settings as follows: ■ Bits per second: 9600 ■ Databits: 8 ■ Parity: None ■ Stop bits: 1 ■ Flow control: None To configure Port Settings in a UNIX® environment, enter: tip /dev/ttyb -9600 7. Log in to the switch (with administrator privileges).
Installing the SAN Switch 2/16 c. To verify that the IP address was entered correctly, enter: ipAddrShow d. After the IP address is verified as correct, remove the serial cable, and replace the shipping plug in the serial port. Caution: The serial port is intended only for use during the initial setting of the IP address and for service purposes. HP does not recomment using the serial port during normal switch operation or for regular maintenance. 8.
Installing the SAN Switch 2/16 Connecting the Switch to the LAN Execute the following procedure to connect the switch to the Ethernet Local Area Network (LAN) segment. 1. Remove the shipping plug from the Ethernet port. 2. Connect one end of an Ethernet cable to the Ethernet port, see Figure 15. SHR-2550A Figure 15: Connecting the Ethernet cable 3. Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to the workstation or to an Ethernet network containing the workstation.
Installing the SAN Switch 2/16 Important Information on Setting the Core PID Format The switch may require a change to the configuration setting known as the Core PID format. A Core PID format is one of two addressing mechanisms used in Fibre Channel. The PID format is analogous to specifying the physical switch and port a device is attached to in data networks. It is not analogous to an IP address. PID formats are assigned by a Fibre Channel switch when a device logs into the fabric.
Installing the SAN Switch 2/16 How to Change the Core PID Format For the switches to interoperate properly, all of them must have the same Core PID format. Execute the following procedure to change the Core PID format, if necessary. Caution: Remember that you must change the Core PID format before connecting fiber cables. 1. If the switch is configured for zoning, issue the cfgDisable command to disable zoning. 2. To disable the switch, issue the SwitchDisable command and press Enter. 3.
Installing the SAN Switch 2/16 Modifying Domain IDs As an option, modify the domain IDs, if desired, as follows. Note: The default domain ID is 1. If the default domain ID is already in use when the switch is connected to the fabric, the domain ID for the new switch is automatically reset to a unique value. The domain IDs that are currently in use can be determined using the Telnet command fabricShow. 1. Disable the switch by issuing the switchDisable command: 2. Issue the configure command. 3.
Installing the SAN Switch 2/16 Specifying Custom Status Policies As an option, if desired, specify any custom status policies for the fabric as follows. 1. Issue the switchStatusPolicySet command at the prompt. 2. Specify the desired status policies. To completely deactivate the alarm for a particular condition, enter 0 at the prompt for that condition. Note: Configure each port to match the topology of each host or target before connecting to the device.
Installing the SAN Switch 2/16 4. Connect the cables to the SFPs as appropriate to the fabric topology by positioning each cable so that the key (the ridge on one side of the cable connector) is aligned with the slot in the SFP, see Figure 16. SHR-2549A Figure 16: Inserting a cable into an SFP Note: The cable is keyed so that it can only be inserted correctly into the SFP. If the cable does not slide in easily, check the orientation.
Installing the SAN Switch 2/16 Note: HP strongly recommends that you back up the configuration. This ensures that a complete configuration is available if required for a replacement switch. For instructions on how to back up the configuration, refer to “Backing Up System Configuration Settings” in Chapter 4. Installing Multiple Switches into an Existing SAN Follow this procedure to set up more than one edge switch in an existing SAN. 1.
Installing the SAN Switch 2/16 4. Set the switch Domain Address (by issuing the configure command) to the next unused domain in the SAN. The default domain setting is 1. Note: If a switch boot failure occurs, the switch must be taken offline for repair or replacement. Contact your HP Technical Support for assistance. 5.

glossary Glossary This glossary defines terms used in this guide or related to this product and is not a comprehensive glossary of computer terms. Glossary AL_PA Arbitrated Loop Physical Address; a unique 8-bit value assigned during loop initialization to a port in an arbitrated loop. Alias Address Identifier An address identifier recognized by a port in addition to its standard identifier. An alias address identifier may be shared by multiple ports.
Glossary Bandwidth The total transmission capacity of a cable, link, or system. Usually measured in bps (bits per second). May also refer to the range of transmission frequencies available to a network. See also Throughput. BB_Credit Buffer-to-buffer credit; the number of frames that can be transmitted to a directly connected recipient or within an arbitrated loop. Determined by the number of receive buffers available. BER Bit Error Rate; the rate at which bits are expected to be received in error.
Glossary Community (SNMP) A relationship between a group of SNMP managers and an SNMP agent, in which authentication, access control, and proxy characteristics are defined. See also SNMP. Connection Initiator A port that has originated a Class 1 dedicated connection and received a response from the recipient. Connection Recipient A port that has received a Class 1 dedicated connection request and transmitted a response to the originator.
Glossary EIA Rack A storage rack that meets the standards set by the Electronics Industry Association. Enabled Zone Configuration The currently enabled configuration of zones. Only one configuration can be enabled at a time. End-to-end Flow Control Governs flow of class 1 and 2 frames between N_Ports. See also EE_Credit. Error As applies to Fibre Channel, a missing or corrupted frame, time-out, loss of synchronization, or loss of signal (link errors).
Glossary FL_Port Fabric Loop Port; a port that is able to transmit under fabric protocol and also has arbitrated loop capabilities. Can be used to connect an NL_Port to a switch. FLOGI Fabric Login; the process by which an N_Port determines whether a fabric is present, and if so, exchanges service parameters with it. Frame The Fibre Channel structure used to transmit data between ports.
Glossary GBps GigaBytes per second (1,062,500,000 bytes/second). HBA Host Bus Adapter; the interface card between a server or workstation bus and the Fibre Channel network. Hub A Fibre Channel wiring concentrator that collapses a loop topology into a physical star topology. Nodes are automatically added to the loop when active and removed when inactive.
Glossary LIP Loop Initialization Primitive; the signal used to begin initialization in a loop. Indicates either loop failure or resetting of a node. Looplet A set of devices connected in a loop to a port that is a member of another loop. MIB Management Information Base; an SNMP structure to help with device management, providing configuration and device information. Monitoring State The state in which a port is monitoring the flow of information for data relevant to the port.
Glossary Phantom Address An AL_PA value that is assigned to an device that is not physically in the loop. Also known as phantom AL_PA. A twenty-bit public address created for an 8-bit loop device to allow public devices to access it. Phantom Device A device that is not physically in an arbitrated loop, but is logically included through the use of a phantom address. PLOGI Port Login; the port-to-port login process by which initiators establish sessions with targets.
Glossary Public Device A device that can log into the fabric and support 20-bit addresses (or has 20-bit phantom addresses created for it by the switch). Public Loop An arbitrated loop that includes a participating FL_Port, and may contain both public and private NL_Ports. QuickLoop A feature that makes it possible to allow private devices within loops to communicate with public and private devices across the fabric through the creation of a larger loop.
Glossary Single Mode The fiber optic cabling standard that corresponds to distances of up to 10 km between devices. SNMP Simple Network Management Protocol. An internet management protocol that uses either IP for network-level functions and UDP for transport-level functions, or TCP/IP for both. Can be made available over other protocols, such as UDP/IP, because it does not rely on the underlying communication protocols. Switch Name The arbitrary name assigned to a switch. Switch Port A port on a switch.
Glossary Transmission Character A 10-bit character encoded according to the rules of the 8B/10B algorithm. Transmission Word A group of four transmission characters. Trap (SNMP) The message sent by an SNMP agent to inform the SNMP management station of a critical error. Tunneling A technique for enabling two networks to communicate when the source and destination hosts are both on the same type of network, but are connected by a different type of network.
Glossary Zone Configuration A specified set of zones. Enabling a configuration enables all zones in that configuration. Zone A set of devices and hosts attached to the same fabric and configured as being in the same zone. Devices and hosts within the same zone have access permission to others in the zone, but are not visible to any outside the zone. Zoning A feature that runs on Fabric OS and allows partitioning of the fabric into logical groupings of devices.
