SAN switch 2/32 version 4.0.2b release notes

Adding the SAN Switch 2/32 to an Existing Fabric
52 SAN switch 2/32 Version 4.0.2b Release Notes
Note: The SAN Switch 2/32 is preconfigured with the Core PID format enabled. The
existing fabric must also have this format enabled. The configure command is used
to change the PID format on older switches. If the PID format is not consistent across the
fabric, the fabric will segment. Refer to Appendix B in the
HP StorageWorks SAN Switch
2/32 Installation Guide
supplied with your switch for information on setting the Core
PID format.
4. Verify that the available memory on the new switch is large enough for the
existing zone configuration database. Use the cfgsize command to verify
the maximum size of zone configuration database for the switch. For example,
a. A Fabric OS v2.6.0x switch can accommodate up to 96K of zone
configuration database.
b. A Fabric OS v3.0.2x switch can accommodate up to 128K of zone
configuration database.
c. A Fabric OS Version 4.0.2b switch can accommodate up to 128K of zone
configuration database.
5. Verify that SAN Switch 2/32 interoperability mode is consistent with the
pre-existing switches in the fabric. Use the interopmode command to view
the interoperability mode of the switch.
Note: If the interopmode is inconsistent between the new switch and the fabric, the
merge fails and fabric segments. If the switches use different interopmode settings, you
must make them the same. Refer to the
HP StorageWorks Fabric OS Procedures Version
3.0.x/4.0.x User Guide
for detailed information on updating the interopmode.
6. Clear the switch of all zoning information by running the following set of
commands:
cfgdisable
cfgclear
cfgsave
7. Connect the switch to the fabric through an ISL cable. Once the switch is
connected to the fabric, the zone configuration information for the fabric will
automatically copy to the switch.
8. Clear the Management server Platform Database from the switch with the
msPlClearDB command.
