Installing the SAN Switch 2/32 Important Information on Setting the Core PID Format The switch you have purchased 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 Core 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.
Installing the SAN Switch 2/32 Note: In the above example, the Core PID Format is 1 or 0, depending on the number displayed in the brackets. How to Change the Core PID Format In order for the switches to interoperate properly, all of them must have the same Core PID Format. Use these steps 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, type cfgDisable to disable zoning. 2.
Installing the SAN Switch 2/32 Note: If the Core PID format is set to 0 in switches already running in the SAN, you must follow the procedures in Appendix B, “Updating the Core Switch PID Format” to change the parameter to 1. If the Core Switch PID format is not changed to 1 to match the SAN Switch 2/32’s value, then the switches residing in the SAN will fail to communicate with one another.
Installing the SAN Switch 2/32 5. Complete the remaining prompts (or press CTRL+D to accept the remaining settings without completing all the prompts). 6. Re-enable the switch by entering the following: switchEnable Specifying Custom Status Policies Optional If desired, specify any custom status policies for the fabric as follows. 1. Enter the following at the prompt. switchStatusPolicySet 2. Specify the desired status policies.
Installing the SAN Switch 2/32 Note: The SFP is keyed so that it can only be inserted with the correct orientation into the port. If the SFP does not slide in easily, check the orientation. 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 22.
Installing the SAN Switch 2/32 Note: Backing up the configuration is strongly recommended. 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 Chapter 4, “Backing Up Configuration Data and Upgrading Firmware.” Or, for more detailed information and commands, refer to the HP StorageWorks Fabric OS Procedures Version 3.1.x/4.1.x User Guide.
Installing the SAN Switch 2/32 Recommendations for Cable Management HP recommends following these cable management guidelines: ■ Plan cable management before installing the switch in a rack. ■ Leave at least one meter of slack for each port cable (this provides room to remove and replace the switch). ■ If using ISL Trunking: — Group cables by trunking groups. — The cables used in trunking groups must meet specific requirements.

The Serial port’s parameters are 9600 baud, 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit, and no flow control.
Updating the Core Switch PID Format B This Appendix provides detailed information for changing the Core Switch PID format. The SAN Switch 2/32 units ship with the Core Switch PID format set to 1. Before connecting to the SAN, you must verify that the Core Switch PID formats of all switches already running in the SAN are also set to 1. If the Core Switch PID format is not changed to 1 to match the SAN Switch 2/32’s value, then the switches residing in the SAN will fail to communicate with one another.
Updating the Core Switch PID Format HP Recommendations on Changing the Core Switch PID Format Proactively setting the Core PID format on all new fabrics before they enter production will prevent the need to update those fabrics in the future. This is strongly recommended as a step in the deployment of all new fabrics. There is no difference in the behavior of a fabric with either Core PID Format; changing to the new format during deployment will merely save administrative effort later on.
Updating the Core Switch PID Format How to Check the Current Core PID Setting for Switches Running Firmware Lower than V4.0.0 To view a switch’s current Core Switch PID format, connect directly to a switch in your SAN and complete the following steps via a telnet session or the Serial cable supplied. 1. Type configShow and press Enter. 2. About 15 lines down (press Enter to display more information on the page), locate the following line: fabric.ops.mode.
Updating the Core Switch PID Format Complete these steps to update the Core Switch PID format while the SAN is running online. 1. Back up all data. Verify backups. 2. If the multi-pathing software cannot automatically switch over between fabrics seamlessly enough for the users of the SAN, use the software’s administrative tools to manually disassociate, or mark offline all storage devices on the first fabric to be updated.
Updating the Core Switch PID Format Note: This does not change the definition of zones in the fabric, but causes the lowest tables in the zoning database to update with the new Core Switch PID format. 9. Repeat steps 3 through 6 for all fabrics in the SAN. 10. For any devices manually bound by PID, update their bindings. This may involve changing them to the new PIDs, or may (preferably) involve changing to WWN binding. 11. For any devices automatically bound by PID, two options exist: a.
Updating the Core Switch PID Format Note: The [0] value shown above indicates the Core Switch PID parameter set on this particular switch. f. Type 1 to update the Core Switch PID format. g. Continue to press Enter until you have completed the configure section and have returned to the admin prompt. 5. One at a time, re-enable the switches in the updated fabric. In a core/edge network, enable the core switches first. 6.
Updating the Core Switch PID Format Note: Once the switch Core PID Format is set, it is stored in the flash memory of the switch, and it is NOT necessary to set it again during subsequent firmware upgrades. HP/UX Procedure for Updating the Core Switch PID Format Use these procedures for updating the Core Switch PID format in an HP/UX environment. 1. Back up all data. Verify backups. 2.
Updating the Core Switch PID Format 12. Once you have done this to all switches in the fabric and verified that it has re-converged properly, issue the command cfgEnable [effective zone configuration] on one of the switches in that fabric. For example: cfgEnable my_zones 13. Clean the lvmtab file by using the command vgscan. 14. Change to /dev and untar the file that was tared in step 4. For example: tar –xf /tmp/jbod.tar 15. Import the volume groups using vgimport.
Updating the Core Switch PID Format 20. Validate that the entry has been removed by using the command ioscan –funC disk. Notice in the figure below that the NO_HW entry is no longer listed. het46 (HP-50001)> ioscan -funC disk Class I H/W Path Driver S/W State H/W Type Description ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------disk 0 0/0/1/1.2.0 adisk CLAIMED DEVICE SEAGATE ST39204LC /dev/dsk/clt2d0 /dev/rdsk/c1t2d0 disk 1 0/0/2/1.2.
Updating the Core Switch PID Format 10. Issue the configenable, (effective_zone_configuration) command. For example: configenable my_config 11. Issue the switchEnable command. Enable the core switches first, then the edge switches. 12. Rebuild the device entries for the affected fabric using the cfgmgr command. For example: cfgmgr -v This command may take several minutes to complete. 13. If you are not using multi-pathing software, varyon the disk volume groups.
