Quick Start Guide The iSR6142 Intelligent Storage Router provides remote and local SAN island connectivity.
Installation Instructions This Quick Start Guide describes how to install and configure your new QLogic router by following these steps: ❑ Step 1. Verify the package contents. ❑ Step 2. Complete the pre-installation checklist. ❑ Step 3. Mount the router. ❑ Step 4. Install the SFP transceivers. ❑ Step 5. Apply power to the iSR6142 router. ❑ Step 6. Install the SANsurfer® Router Manager. ❑ Step 7. Configure the iSR6142 management port IP address. ❑ Step 8. Run the Configuration Wizard.
Step 3. Mount the Router Place the router on a flat surface or mount it in a standard 19-inch Electronic Industries Association (EIA) rack. Step 4. Install the SFP Transceivers An SFP transceiver is required for each of the router’s FC ports that will be connected to a Fibre Channel device or switch. SFPs are included in the package. To install an SFP transceiver, insert the transceiver into the router port and press gently until it snaps in place. The transceiver will fit only one way.
Step 6. Install the SANsurfer Router Manager Perform the following steps to install the SANsurfer iSCSI/FC Router Manager application from the QLogic website to a PC workstation: 1. Close all programs currently running. 2. Go to the QLogic download site: http://support.qlogic.com/support/drivers_software.aspx 3. Select the Intelligent Storage Routers icon. 4. Select iSR6142 in the product selection window and click Go. 5.
You now have the management port configured with the appropriate IP address. Connect the management port cable to your Ethernet network. Connect cables to GE1, GE2, FC 1, and FC 2 cables as shown in the configuration diagrams (Figure 1/Figure 2). Step 8. Run the Configuration Wizard 1. Invoke the SANsurfer® Router Manager previously installed on the computer that will be used to manage the iSR6142. You should see a display as shown in the following figures. 2.
Step 9. Configure iSR6142s for Connecting Remote SANs Configuration requirement: ❑ At least one FC Port of the iSR6142 should be connected to a FC SAN. ❑ It is recommended to use Fibre Channel World Wide Port name (WWPN) based zoning. Add each iSR6142 router’s FC WWPN to all zones in the FC switch to which it is connected. The FC switch zoning changes allow the iSR6142 router to discover all devices in the FC SAN.
Congratulations! You have now successfully installed your QLogic iSR6142s and mapped the FC devices from remote SAN to local SAN. Refer to "Performance Tuning" in the iSR6142 Intelligent Storage Router Installation Guide for optimal parameter settings. Step 10. Configure iSR6142s for Connecting FC/iSCSI Initiators to FC/iSCSI Targets Using the graphical user interface (GUI) Run the Map Local Initiator/Target Wizard to establish connection between devices: 1. Select the initiator device (FC or iSCSI). 2.
