Managing the SAN Switches Powering the Switch On and Off To apply power to the SAN Switch 2/8V or SAN Switch 2/16V, connect at least one power cable to an AC receptacle on the switch and to a power source. The switch runs POST (power-on self-test) by default each time it is powered on, reset, or rebooted, and requires as long as 3 minutes. To end the flow of power to the SAN Switch 2/8V or SAN Switch 2/16V, remove the power cord from the power source.
Managing the SAN Switches Interpreting LED Activity System activity and status can be determined through the activity of the LEDs on the switch. There are three possible LED states: no light, a steady light, and a flashing light. The steady lights and flashing lights can be green or amber. The LEDs flash any of these colors during boot, POST, or other diagnostic tests.
Managing the SAN Switches LED Location All 2/8V and 2/16V LEDs are located on the port side. They include: ■ Switch Status ■ Power ■ Port Status ■ Port Speed ■ Ethernet Figure 17 shows the port side of the SAN Switch 2/8V, paying special attention to the LEDs.

Table 10: System LED Patterns During Normal Operation LED Name, Location System Status and Power Status LED Color Status of Hardware Recommended Action No light Switch is off, boot is not complete, or boot failed.
Managing the SAN Switches Port LED Patterns Each port has two LEDs: a port speed and a port status indicator. Table 11 shows the LED location, color, and meaning for these port LEDs. Table 11: Port LED Patterns During Normal Operation LED Name, Location Port Status LED Color Status of Hardware Recommended Action No light No light or signal carrier (transceiver or cable) detected. Check transceiver and cable. Steady green Port is online (connected to external device) but has no traffic.
Managing the SAN Switches Table 11: Port LED Patterns During Normal Operation (Continued) LED Name, Location LED Color Fast-flashing amber (on 1/4 second, off 1/4 second) Status of Hardware Port is faulty. Recommended Action Check the Port Status LEDs, error log, transceiver, and cable or loopback plug. Clear the error log. Rerun the diagnostics to verify that the error condition is fixed. Port Speed Alternating green and amber Port is bypassed. Check configuration of Fibre Channel loop.
Managing the SAN Switches POST and Boot Specifications When the switch is turned on or rebooted, the switch performs POST. Total boot time with POST is a minimum of 3 minutes. POST can be omitted after subsequent reboots by using fastboot. For more information about this command, refer to the HP StorageWorks Fabric OS Reference. POST The success/failure results of the diagnostic tests that run during POST can be monitored through the error log or the command line interface.
Managing the SAN Switches Interpreting POST Results POST is a system check that is performed each time the switch is powered on, rebooted, or reset. During POST, the LEDs flash different colors. Any errors that occur during POST are listed in the error log. To determine that POST completed successfully and whether or not any errors were detected: 1. Verify that the switch LEDs indicate that all components are healthy. See Table 11 on page 63 for description and interpretation of LED patterns.
Backing Up the Configuration and Upgrade Firmware 4 Once your SAN Switch 2/8V, 2/16V or 2/16N is installed and configured, you can monitor the health of the fabric as well as maintain the switch health.
Backing Up the Configuration and Upgrade Firmware SAN Switch 2/8V, 2/16V and 2/16N Management Features Using any of the management tools built into the SAN Switch 2/8V, 2/16V or 2/16N listed in Table 13, you can monitor fabric topology, port status, physical status, and other information used for performance analysis and system debugging. When running IP over Fibre Channel, these management tools must be run on both HBA and switch and must be supported by both HBA and HBA driver.
Backing Up the Configuration and Upgrade Firmware For example: Management Station First Switch Second Switch Third Switch Ethernet 192.168.1.09 192.168.1.10 204.1.1.11 204.1.1.12 FCIP 192.168.65.09 192.168.65.10 192.168.65.11 192.168.65.12 Gateway 192.168.1.10 any not self 192.168.1.10 192.168.1.10 The disadvantage of this method is the management station can not address anything but the switches.
Backing Up the Configuration and Upgrade Firmware Maintaining the SAN Switch 2/8V, SAN Switch 2/16V and SAN Switch 2/16N The SAN Switch 2/8V, SAN Switch 2/16V and SAN Switch 2/16N switches do not require any regular physical maintenance; they were designed to minimize the chance of failure. Ensure that the environmental conditions, described in “Technical Specifications” on page 87, are met. This helps prevent failure of the switch due to distress or abuse.
Backing Up the Configuration and Upgrade Firmware Figure 19 shows the SFP installation and removal steps. Cable Release SAN Switch Bale 1 SFP 3 10 0-2 40 scale: 1/8" = 1" VA C 1.0 A 47 -63 Hz IO IO I ! FC Ports SFP 2 4 4.
