Installing the SAN Switch 2/16 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 2/16 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. To disable the switch, type SwitchDisable and press Enter. 3. Type configure and press Enter.
Installing the SAN Switch 2/16 Modifying Domain IDs Optional. 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 entering the following: switchDisable 2. Enter the following: configure 3.
Installing the SAN Switch 2/16 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. 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 25. SHR-2549A Figure 25: 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: 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 “Backing Up System Configuration Settings” in Chapter 4. Installing Multiple Switches into an Existing SAN Use these steps 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 using 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.
