Installation and safety considerations You can install the switch using one of the following methods: • As a stand-alone unit on a flat surface. See Installing as a stand-alone device, page 36. • HP highly recommends mounting the switch in one of the following HP customized racks: • HP StorageWorks System/e Rack • HP StorageWorks 10,000 Series Rack See Installing the switch in a rack using the SAN Switch Rack Mount Kit, page 37 for detailed instructions.
Rack specifications If installing the switch in a rack: • Plan a rack space that is 1 rack unit (1.75 inches; 4.45 cm) high, 19 inches (48.3 cm) wide, and at least 30 inches (76.2 cm) deep. • The rack should be balanced and the installed equipment should be within the rack’s weight limits. Ensure the rack is mechanically secured to insure stability in the event of an earthquake. • Ground all equipment in rack through a reliable branch circuit connection and maintain ground at all times.
Installing as a stand-alone device Follow these steps to install as a stand-alone unit. 1. Unpack the switch and verify that all items listed on ”SAN Switch shipping carton contents” on page 32 are present and undamaged. 2. Locate the four rubber feet in the Accessory box. 3. Apply the adhesive rubber feet. Applying the rubber feet in the switch helps prevent the switch from sliding off the supporting surface. a.
Installing the switch in a rack using the SAN Switch Rack Mount Kit This section provides instructions for installing the SAN Switch in an HP System/e rack, or in an HP 10,000 series rack using the HP StorageWorks SAN Switch Rack Mount Kit supplied with your switch. Install the SAN Switch Rack Mount Kit in one of two ways: • Allow the port side of the switch to slide out of the exhaust-air side of the rack. • In this installation, the port side of the switch is flush with the edge of the rack.

To attach the inner rails to the SAN Switch 2/8V, SAN Switch 2/16V or SAN Switch 2/16N use the screw holes marked 8. b.
8. Verify that a plenum is installed on the SAN Switch 2/8V, SAN Switch 2/16V or SAN Switch 2/16N models only, as shown in Figure 12. The plenum is an overlay that dissipates the heat generated by the switch, preventing overheating. NOTE: The plenum is a required part of this installation for SAN Switch 2/8V, SAN Switch 2/16V or 2/16N models only, when installed in HP 10,000 series, or System/e racks.
9. Contact your authorized HP switch reseller for information if a plenum is not preinstalled on your SAN Switch 2/8V, SAN Switch 2/16V or SAN Switch 2/16N model only.
10.Insert the switch with the attached inner rails into the outer rails. Please note this step (#10), applies to both the HP 10,000 series and System/e racks. NOTE: Note that the SAN Switch mounts in the rack with its front, the port side, facing the back of the rack. The rear of the switch, the AC side, faces the front of the rack.
11.Insert the switch into the rack and install (2) #10-32 x 1/2-inch Phillips pan-head screws with captive star lock washers with one on each side. See Figure 15 and Figure 16. Figure 16 Installing the switch into a rack (HP System/e rack) 12.Tighten the nuts installed in step 4 on page 42. See Figure 9 on page 42. NOTE: To uninstall a switch, remove the middle #10-32 x 1/2-inch Phillips pan head screw with captive star lock washer from either side of the rack uprights.
Cabling and configuring the SAN Switch The SAN Switch must be configured to ensure correct operation within a network and fabric. For instructions about configuring the switch to operate in a fabric containing switches from other vendors, refer to the HP StorageWorks procedures user guide for the Fabric OS version running on your switch. For more information about the commands used in this procedure, refer to the HP StorageWorks command reference guide for the Fabric OS version running on your switch.
Connecting the SAN Switch to the fabric Follow the sequence listed next. Procedures are included in the following sections: 1. Making a serial connection, page 51 2. Logging in, page 53 3. Setting the IP address, page 54 4. Creating an Ethernet connection, page 55 5. Modifying the Fibre Channel domain ID (Optional), page 56 6. Installing the SFP transceivers, page 57 7. Connecting the cables, page 57 8.
NOTE: Figure 17 shows the SAN Switch 2/16V. This procedure is the same for all SAN Switches. 10 0-24 0 VA C 1. 0A 47 -63H z IO IO I ! 10 0-24 0 VA C 1. 0A 47 -63H z 0014a Figure 17 Connecting the serial cable to a SAN Switch 2/16V NOTE: If the serial port on the workstation uses an RJ-45 connector instead of an RS-232, remove the adapter on the end of the serial cable and insert the exposed RJ-45 connector into the RJ-45 serial port on the workstation. 3.
Logging in Once a serial connection is established, apply power to the switch. 1. Connect the power cords to both power supplies and power sources, as shown in Figure 18. NOTE: The SAN Switch 2/8V uses one power cord, all other SAN Switches use two. 10 0-24 0 VA C 1. 0A 47 -63H z IO IO I ! 10 0-24 0 VA C 1. 0A 47 -63H z 0015a Figure 18 Connecting SAN Switch 2/16V power cords NOTE: To protect against AC failure, connect the power cords to outlets on separate circuits.
5. Using a serial connection, when the terminal emulator application stops reporting information, press Enter to display the login prompt. 6. Log in using the administrative account; the logon is “admin” and the default password is “password”. Create up to two simultaneous admin sessions and four user sessions. For specific details, refer to the specific HP StorageWorks procedures user guide and the HP StorageWorks command reference guide for the Fabric OS running on your switch.
Creating an Ethernet connection Use these steps to create an Ethernet connection. 1. Connect an Ethernet cable to the Ethernet port and to the workstation or to an Ethernet network containing the workstation as shown in Figure 19. NOTE: Figure 19 shows the SAN Switch 2/16V. This procedure is the same for all SAN Switches. 10 0-24 0 VA C 1. 0A 47 -63H z IO IO I ! 10 0-24 0 VA C 1.
Modifying the Fibre Channel domain ID (Optional) If desired, you can modify the Fibre Channel domain ID. The default Fibre channel domain ID is domain 1. If the switch is not powered on until after it is connected to the fabric and the default Fibre channel domain ID is already in use, the domain ID for the new switch is automatically reset to a unique value. If the switch is connected to the fabric after is has been powered on and the default domain ID is already in use, the fabric segments.
Installing the SFP transceivers The SAN Switch does not ship with SFPs. A list of supported SFPs can be found in ”SAN Switch optional kits” on page 28. Use the following procedure to install the SFP transceivers into the Fibre Channel ports. The ports selected for use in trunking groups must meet specific requirements. For a list of these requirements, refer to the specific “ISL Trunking” chapter in the HP StorageWorks features overview located on the Software CD that shipped with your switch.
Verifying the configuration Use these steps to confirm that the switch is configured and ready for use. 1. Check LEDs to verify that all components are functional. For information about LED patterns, refer to ”Interpreting LED activity” on page 64. 2. Enter the switchshow command from the workstation. This command provides information about the switch and port status. 3. Enter the fabricshow command from the workstation. This command provides general information about the fabric.
Year values greater than 69 are interpreted as 1970-1999; year values less than 70 are interpreted as 2000-2069. The date function does not support Daylight Savings Time or time zones, so changes will have to be reset manually.
Refer to the tsTimeZone command in the HP StorageWorks command reference guide for more detailed information about the command parameters. All supporting Fabric OS documentation resides on the Software CD that shipped with your switch. 3. Repeat Steps 1 and 2 on all switches for which the time zone needs to be set. This needs to be done only once, because the value is stored in nonvolatile memory. For U.S. time zones, see Table 9 to determine the correct parameter for the tsTimeZone command.
3 Managing SAN switches Once your SAN Switch is installed and configured, you can monitor the health of the switch and fabric.
Powering on and off Read the following sections to power on and off SAN Switches. SAN Switch 2/8V Connect one end of the power cord to the AC inlet on the switch, and the remaining end to a power source. To power on, set the AC power switch to I. The switch runs POST by default each time it is powered on, reset, or rebooted. POST requires approximately 3 minutes. To power off, set the AC power switch to O and remove the power cord from the power source.
Management features SAN Switches use built-in management tools to help you monitor fabric topology, check port status, and debug the switch. Table 10 lists the management applications available. NOTE: When running IP over Fibre Channel, these management tools must be supported by both HBA and HBA drivers. For a list of supported HBAs, refer to the HP StorageWorks SAN design guide: http://h18000.www1.hp.com/products/storageworks/san/documentation.html .
Managing SAN Switches from a single management station A management station connected to one switch via Ethernet can also be used to manage other switches connected to the first switch via Fibre Channel. To do so, set the fibre channel gateway address of each of the other switches to be managed, to the Fibre Channel IP address of the first switch. The gateway address of the first switch should be set to what ever the gateway address is for the subnet that the first switch resides on.
SAN Switch 2/8V, 2/16V and 2/16N LEDs The five LEDs include Switch Status, Power, Port Status, Port Speed and Ethernet. Figure 20 shows the port side of the SAN Switch 2/8V.

Verify that the switch LEDs indicate that all components are healthy.
Managing SAN switches
4 Installing field-replaceable units The SAN Switch 2/8V, SAN Switch 2/16V and SAN Switch 2/16N do not require any regular maintenance, and do not contain any Field-Replaceable Units (FRUs). In contrast, the SAN Switch 4/32 contains two FRUS; the power supply and fan assembly.
Replacing the SAN Switch 4/32 power supply The SAN Switch 4/32 uses two power supplies, as shown in Figure 24. The Fabric OS identifies the power supplies from left to right on the nonport side as PS2 (on the left) and PS1 (on the right). Scale: 1/8" = 1" 1 2 3 4 MRO25014a Figure 24 SAN Switch 4/32 power supplies on the nonport side Table 20 lists the SAN Switch 4/32 nonport side LEDs.
