High availability

Overview

The following features contribute to the ED-48000B high-availability design:

◆ Redundant, hot-swappable components

◆ Redundant power supply and blower assembly subsystems

◆ Enhanced data integrity on all data paths

◆ Fabric Shortest Path First (FSPF) rerouting around failed links

◆ Integration with Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)

managers

◆ Automatic control processor failover

◆ Nondisruptive “hot” software code loads and activation

◆ Easy configuration, save, and restore

◆ Hot-swappable World Wide Name (WWN) card

The high-availability software architecture of the ED-48000B provides a common framework for all applications that reside on the system, allowing global and local states to be maintained enough to manage any component failure. High-availability elements consist of the High Availability Manager, the heartbeat, the fault/health framework, the replicated database, initialization, and software upgrade.

The High Availability Manager controls access to the standby control processor, facilitates software upgrades, prevents extraneous switchover activity, closes and flushes streams as needed, provides flow control and message buffering, and supports a centralized active and standby state.

High availability

Page 22

Overview

Reliability

The ED-48000B uses the following error detection and correction mechanisms to ensure the reliability of all data inside the chassis:

◆ All data inside the switch protected by the Error Detection and

Correction mechanism, which checks for encoder errors and fault isolation (EDFI), such as cyclic redundancy checking (CRC), parity checking, checksum, and illegal address checking.

◆ Power-on self-test (POST).

◆ Dual control processors that enable hot, nondisruptive fast

firmware upgrades.

◆ Each control processor contains two serial ports and one Ethernet

port. Offline control processor diagnostics and remote diagnostics simplify troubleshooting. The standby control processor continuously runs diagnostics to ensure it is operational, should a failover be necessary.

◆ Inter-IC (I

C) monitoring and control.

EMC Connectrix B Series ED-48000B Hardware Reference Manual

Page 24

Overview

PB-48K-18i blade

The PB-48K-18i blade is optionally available for the ED-48000B. This blade has 16 physical Fibre Channel SFP ports supporting the Fibre Channel Routing Services, and 2 physical Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) SFP ports supporting the Fibre Channel Over IP (FCIP) feature. It operates with the Fabric Operating System and can communicate with another PB-48K-18i for both Fibre Channel Routing services and FCIP, or an AP-7420B for Fibre Channel Routing Services.

The PB-48K-18i blade can be installed only in a ED-48000B director configured in chassisConfig mode 5, with Fabric OS v5.1.0 or higher. The PB-48K-18i blade requires that the ED-48000B have 4 power supplies. A maximum of two PB-48K-18i blades can be installed in a ED-48000B.

The PB-48K-18i blade is intended as a platform for Fibre Channel Routing Services and FCIP. See the EMC Connectrix B Series Fabric OS Administrator’s Guide for information on configuring these features.

The PB-48K-18i blade provides the following features:

◆ 5 internal temperature sensors, 3 standalone and 2 inside the

voltage monitor chip (DS1780)

◆ 16 Fibre Channel SFP ports supporting the Fibre Channel Routing

Services with link speeds up to 1, 2, or 4 Gbit/sec

◆ 2 GbE ports supporting the FCIP and Fibre Channel Routing

Services with link speeds up to 1 Gbit/sec:

• Each GbE port can support up to 8 FCIP tunnels

• Each FCIP tunnel is represented and managed as a virtual Fibre Channel E_Port

• Fibre Channel Routing Services can be used over the FCIP link

• Fabrics connected through FCIP merge if the ports are configured as VE_Ports, and do not merge if they are configured as VEX_Ports. If VE_Ports are used in a Fibre Channel Routing Services backbone fabric configuration, then the backbone fabric merges, but the EX_Port-attached edge fabrics do not merge. For more information see the EMC Connectrix B Series Fabric OS Administrator’s Guide.

Overview

WARNING

Upgrade firmware on the ED-48000B to the level required for any new blades before you install the new blades (v5.1.0 or greater for the PB-48K-18i, v5.2.0 or greater for the PB-48K-48). Do not install a blade into a director running an unsupported version of Fabric OS for that blade.

Note: The PB-48K-18i blade powers up in a persistently disabled state until the ports are persistently enabled. This allows you to configure new ports before enabling them in the system.

After the POST is complete, the firmware version on the PB-48K-18i blade will autolevel with the firmware version on the active CP. You must have Fabric OS v5.1.0 or higher or the PB-48K-18i blade will be faulted. For more information see the EMC Connectrix B Series PB-48000B-18i Hardware Reference Manual.

Overview

Software features

Security Secure Telnet access is available using Secure Shell (SSH), a network

The ED-48000B must be running Fabric OS v5.1.0 or greater, and with the PB-48K-48 port blade, it must be running V5.2.0 or greater. The Fabric OS allows any Fibre Channel-compliant device to attach to the switches as long as it conforms to the device login, name service, and related Fibre Channel standards. Each operating environment requires that a Fibre Channel host bus adapter (HBA) be available with a standards-compliant driver for proper interface to the fabric.

Fabric OS consists of a set of embedded applications running on top of an embedded real-time Linux operating system kernel. These applications are the Name Server, alias server, Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) agent, and several tasks to manage address assignment, routing, link initialization, fabric initialization, link shutdown, switch shutdown, and the user interface.

security protocol for secure remote login and other secure network services over an insecure network.

Web Tools management is available through a secure browser using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL). The SSL security protocol provides data encryption, server authentication, message integrity, and optional client authentication for a TCP/IP connection. Because SSL is built into all major browsers and Web servers, installing a digital certificate turns on the SSL capabilities.

Network

manageability

The ED-48000B has a single domain and is managed as a single element to a Network Management System (NMS). The director responds to its own IP address and appears as a separate entity to the Telnet protocol and SNMP.

All management interfaces, such as Telnet, Web Tools, the Fabric Access Layer API, and Management Server, support a “port N within blade M” naming scheme.

When SNMP devices send SNMP messages to a management console running SAN management software, the information is stored in a management information base (MIB). Fabric OS v5.x supports the latest Fibre Alliance Fibre Channel Management (FCMGMT) and Storage Management Initiative (SMI) MIBs, which allow common information necessary for management software to provide information to a SAN administrator. Refer to the EMC Connectrix B Series Fabric OS MIB Reference Manual for additional MIB information.

EMC Connectrix B Series ED-48000B Hardware Reference Manual

Page 27

Port numbering

Overview

Except for the following cases, the area ID is equal the port number:

◆ When you perform a port swap operation

◆ When you enable Extended Edge PID mode on the director. For

more information on Extended Edge PID mode, refer to the EMC Connectrix B Series Fabric OS Administrator’s Guide.

The ED-48000B uses the following port numbering schemes:

◆ FC4-16 port blade — ports are numbered from 0 through 15 from

bottom to top.

◆ FC4-32 port blade — ports are numbered from 0 through 15 from

bottom to top on the left set of ports and 16 through 31 from bottom to top on the right set of ports.

◆ PB-48K-48 port blade — ports are numbered from 0 through 23

from bottom to top on the left set of ports and 24 through 47 from bottom to top on the right set of ports.

◆ PB-48K-18i blade — the 16 physical Fibre Channel ports on this

blade are numbered 0 through 15 from bottom to top. The two GbE ports are numbered from the bottom as Ge0 and Ge1. These ports, when fully configured, enable 16 VE_Ports or VEX _Ports and appear in the switchShow command as ports 16 through 31.

Slots are numbered 1 through 10, from left to right when facing the portside of the director.

Refer to Appendix C, “Port Numbering Template,” for a port numbering template for your SAN to easily identify how the ports are numbered. If you have a 16-port blade installed, cross out the extra ports displayed on the template.

WARNING

A fully populated ED-48000B (256 ports) weighs approximately 216 lbs (96 kg) and requires a minimum of two people and a hydraulic or assisted lift to install it.

Do not use any of the bays (such as the power supply or blower assembly bays) for leverage. To ensure adequate cooling, install the chassis with the nonport side facing the air-intake aisle. This prevents the blowers from pulling in heated exhaust air.

If the switch is installed in a cabinet, ensure that the cabinet is balanced and secured mechanically and that the removal and installation procedure will not compromise cabinet stability.

The following steps are required to ensure correct installation and operation:

Note: Consult the Connectrix EC-1500 Cabinet Setup and Installation Manual for site planning information related to the cabinet.

1. Provide a space that is 14 rack units (14U) high, 29 in. deep, and 19-in. wide. (1U is equal to 1.75 in.)

2. Plan to install the ED-48000B with the nonport side facing the air-intake aisle.

3. Plan for cable management before installing the chassis (refer to

“Managing cables” on page 39).

Cables can be managed in a variety of ways, such as by routing cables below the chassis, to either side of the chassis, through cable channels on the sides of the cabinet, or by using patch panels.

4. Ensure that two dedicated electrical branch circuits with the following characteristics are available:

• 200–40 VAC, 50–60 Hz

• Protected by a circuit breaker in accordance with local

electrical codes

Providing power to the ED-48000B

Note: If a modem is to be used with the ED-48000B, it needs to be connected

prior to powering on the switch. To install a modem, refer to Chapter 8,

”Setting Up and Installing Modems.”

To provide power to the ED-48000B:

1. Verify that the ON/OFF switch for each port blade and CP blade is in the ON position (see Figure 8 on page 61).

2. Verify that the AC switch covers are installed over the AC switches. These clear plastic covers fit over the AC switches with their edges tucked underneath the outlet covers; they prevent the AC switches from being powered on or off accidentally (see Figure 3).

3. Connect the AC power cord retainers to the chassis: Orient a retainer against the AC panel as shown in Figure 3, place the retainer tabs under the two jack screws on either side of the power receptacle; and tighten the screws. Repeat for the other retainer (note that the power-cord retainers are oriented in the same direction as the power receptacles).

4. Loosen the clamping screw on each retainer, insert the power cords through the retainers into the power receptacles on the ED-48000B, and tighten the clamping screws. The power cords are designed to bend to the left, so each should route to an opposite side of the chassis.

5. Ensure that the power cord has a minimum service loop of 6 inches available at the connection to the switch and is routed so that it is not exposed to stress.

6. Connect the power cords to the PDUs within the Connectrix cabinet.

7. Flip both AC power switches to 1. The AC power switches light up green when switched on and power is supplied.

The ED-48000B automatically performs a power on self-test (POST) by default each time it is powered on. POST takes approximately 10 minutes and is complete when indicator light activity returns to the standard state. For information about LED patterns, refer to Chapter 4, ”Monitor System Components”.

CAUTION

To prevent a potential IP address conflict, do not connect the ED-48000B to the network until the IP addresses are configured. Refer to Chapter 3, ”Initial Configuration

Parameters,” for additional information. Allow the ED-48000B

to run for 10 minutes (minimum) to complete POST after powering on before you power off.

Establishing a serial connection

Initial communication to a ED-48000B switch requires a serial connection.

To establish a serial connection and log in to the director:

1. Verify that the ED-48000B is powered on and that POST is complete by verifying that all power LED indicators on the port blades and CP4 blades are displaying a steady green light.

2. Use the serial cable provided with the ED-48000B to connect the console port on the active CP4 blade to a computer workstation.

The console port is the second serial port from the top of the CP4 blade; the active CP4 blade is indicated by an illuminated (blue) LED. The “Active CP” LED in the standby CP blade should be off (not illuminated).

The console port is intended primarily for use during the initial setting of the IP address and for service purposes. If necessary, the adapter on the serial cable can be removed to allow for an RJ-45 serial connection.

Installation, Setup, and Login

3. Access the director using a terminal emulator application (such as HyperTerminal on Windows 95, Windows 2000, or Windows NT, or TERM in a UNIX environment).

4. Disable any serial communication programs running on the workstation (such as synchronization programs).

5. Open the terminal emulator application and configure as follows: For most MS Windows systems:

Bits per second: 9600 Databits: 8 Parity: None Stop bits: 1 Flow control: None

For most UNIX systems, type the following string at the prompt:

tip /dev/ttyb -9600

When the terminal emulator application stops reporting information, press

Cable guides (pillars)

Cable guides (pillars) are provided with the ED-48000B, and can be used to organize the port cables into logical groups, such as according to port quads (sets of four neighboring ports). The cable guides do not attach to the chassis (see Figure 5).

Cable pillars are not supported when using the FC4-32 or PB-48K-48 port blades because the cable count is too dense, leaving no room for the cable pillars. Instead, you should use hook and loop tabs to group cables for the FC4-32 or PB-48K-48 port blades.

scale: .50" = 1"

Figure 5 Cable guides (pillars) used to group cables

The cable guides serve to keep the cables evenly spaced and to hold them away from the port blades, making blade replacement easier and preventing the cables from bending to less than the minimum bend radius.

CAUTION

Do not route the cables in front of the air exhaust vent, which is located at the top of the port side of the chassis.

Arrange the cables so that the minimum bend radius is not exceeded; for a 50-micron cable, the minimum bend radius is 2 inches under full tensile load and 1.2 inches with no tensile load.

Tie wraps are not recommended for optical cables because they are easily overtightened and can break the optical cables.

Managing cables

Page 42

Installation, Setup, and Login

To keep LEDs visible and make it easy to replace components, route cables down in front of the blades, not across adjacent blades or in front of the power supplies. Figure 4 on page 40 provides an example in which cables for each blade are routed in front of that blade and are out of the way of other components.

Leave at least 1 meter of slack for each fiber-optic cable. This provides room to remove and replace the port blade, allows for inadvertent movement of the rack, and helps prevent the cables from being bent to less than the minimum bend radius.

Use the cable guides provided with the ED-48000B to group the cables. These guides help to keep individual ports accessible by keeping the cables evenly spaced. If ISL Trunking is in use, grouping the cables by trunking group is recommended. The ports are color-coded to indicate which ports can be used in the same ISL Trunking group: four ports marked with solid black ovals alternate with four ports marked with oval outlines.

Note: ISL Trunking is an optional Fabric OS feature that enables distribution of traffic over the combined bandwidth of up to eight ISLs between two directly adjacent switches, while preserving in-order delivery.

A minimum length is required for cables that connect the ED-48000B ports to device ports, as described in Tab le 2 .

Initial Configuration Parameters

Overview

The ED-48000B must be configured before it is connected to the fabric, and all of the configuration commands must be entered through the active CP blade. The ED-48000B configuration includes the following parameters:

◆ IP address and subnet mask for the chassis

◆ IP addresses, host names, subnet masks, and gateway addresses

for both CP blades

◆ Director name

◆ Domain ID for the director (optional)

◆ WWN for the director

The director WWN is initially set by the factory to match the license ID (which is based on the chassis serial number). The WWN can be changed but the license ID cannot be modified.

The configuration information is automatically mirrored to the standby CP blade—allowing the most current configuration to remain available even if the active CP blade fails. The configuration information for the switch is stored in the WWN card and the flash memory of the CP blades. The configuration can be backed up to a workstation (uploaded) and then downloaded to the active CP blade if necessary.

The basic steps required for the initial configuration are:

1. Log in to the director.

2. Set up IP addresses.

3. Establish an Ethernet connection (optional).

4. Specify a director name.

5. Specify a domain ID for the director.

6. Verify that the PID mode matches the fabric and connect the director to the fabric.

7. Enable software licenses as necessary.

8. Back up the configuration.

EMC Connectrix B Series ED-48000B Hardware Reference Manual

Page 45

Configure IP addresses for the ED-48000B

The ED-48000B director requires three IP addresses, which are configured using the ipAddrSet command. IP addresses are required for both CP blades (CP0 and CP1) and for the single logical switch (shown as SWITCH under the ipAddrShow command) in the ED-48000B director.

Note: The IP and gateway addresses must reside on the same subnet. The same gateway address must be used for both CP blades (these gateway addresses are referenced for the IP addresses).

Resetting an IP address while the ED-48000B has active IP traffic such as Fabric Manager, Fabric Watch, SNMP, or other applications can cause traffic to be interrupted or stopped. Changing the IP address causes a domain address format RSCN to be issued.

The addresses 10.0.0.0 through 10.0.0.255 are reserved and used internally by the switch. External IPs cannot use these addresses either.

The default IP addresses and host names for the ED-48000B are as follows:

Initial Configuration Parameters

◆ 10.77.77.75 / CP0 (the CP blade in slot 5 at the time of

configuration)

◆ 10.77.77.74 / CP1 (the CP blade in slot 6 at the time of

configuration)

Configuration changes can only be made through the active CP blade. If the CP blade in slot 5 is not the active CP blade, disconnect the serial cable and connect it to the CP blade in slot 6; then, log in as admin.

Follow these steps to configure the IP addresses for both CP blades (from the active CP blade):

1. Log in to the active CP as admin using the serial cable connection.

2. Set up the director IP address by entering the ipaddrset -sw 0 command:

swDir:admin> ipAddrSet -sw 0

Configure IP addresses for the ED-48000B

Page 46

Initial Configuration Parameters

Enter the requested information at the prompts. Unlike the ED-12000B or ED-24000B, the only valid configuration for the ED-48000B is as a single domain (single logical switch), so you only need to specify the -sw 0 IP address. There is no -sw 1 in the ED-48000B.

3. Set up the CP0 IP address by entering the ipaddrset -cp 0 command:

swDir:admin> ipAddrSet -cp 0

Enter the requested information at the prompts.

4. Set up the CP1 IP address by entering the ipaddrset -cp 1 command:

swDir:admin> ipAddrSet -cp 1

Page 51

Verify the PID mode and connect to the fabric

Before connecting the ED-48000B to the fabric, verify the port identifier (PID) mode on the switch matches the other switches in the fabric. This parameter must be set identically on all switches in the fabric. This parameter is set using the configure command. For more information on PID mode, refer to the Fabric OS Administrator’s Guide.

To connect the ED-48000B to the fabric, follow these steps:

1. Add SFP transceivers and cables to the Fibre Channel ports, as required.

The ports are color-coded to indicate which ones can be used in the same port group for trunking; trunking port groups can be up to eight ports. Trunk groups are displayed by shaded or nonshaded ports. The ports and cables used in trunking groups must meet specific requirements. For a list of these requirements, refer to the “ISL Trunking” section of the Fabric OS Administrator’s Guide.

2. Position one of the SFP transceivers so that the key is oriented correctly to the port. Insert the transceiver into the port until it is firmly seated and the latching mechanism clicks.

Initial Configuration Parameters

Transceivers are keyed so that they can only be inserted with the correct orientation. If a transceiver does not slide in easily, ensure that it is correctly oriented. For instructions that are specific to the transceiver model, refer to the transceiver manufacturer’s documentation.

3. Position a cable so that the key (the ridge on one side of the cable connector) is aligned with the slot in the transceiver; then, insert into the transceiver until the latching mechanism clicks.

Cables are keyed so that they can only be inserted with the correct orientation. If a cable does not slide in easily, ensure that it is correctly oriented.

4. Repeat step 1 through step 3 for the remaining ports.

5. Organize the cables as required. For recommendations regarding cable management, refer to the “Managing cables” on page 39.

6. Verify switch and port status using the switchShow command. The switchShow command provides detailed information about the switch.

Verify the PID mode and connect to the fabric

Enable software licenses

The ED-48000B is shipped with licenses for Web Tools and Zoning factory installed. Licenses for other optional features are available by contacting your EMC account representative. To determine which licenses are currently enabled, use the licenseShow command.

swDir:admin> licenseshow AAbbccDDeeFFeeGG: Web license Zoning license Extended Fabric license Fabric Watch license Performance Monitor license Trunking license Security license

In the previous example, the license key is AAbbccDDeeFFeeGG. Make sure you keep a hardcopy of your license key in a secure location for emergency reference.

The 64-bit chassis ID is required to obtain and activate licenses for the ED-48000B. The chassis ID is available through the licenseIdShow command.

Initial Configuration Parameters

Both the licenseShow and licenseIdShow commands must be typed through the active CP blade.

For information about activating licenses, refer to the Fabric OS Administrator’s Guide.

Enable software licenses

Page 54

Initial Configuration Parameters

Back up the configuration

You should save all key configuration data for the ED-48000B—including license key information—and upload it to a host for emergency reference. Routine backups of the configuration are recommended to ensure the current configuration is available if needed.

After all zoning configurations and other changes are complete, back up the configuration by typing configUpload at the prompt. The configUpload command uploads the ED-48000B configuration to the server so that it is available for downloading to a replacement switch, if necessary.

An easy way to backup configuration information is to enable logging on your telnet session and run the following commands and save the output in a file on a secure host.

Once you enable logging, run the following commands:

◆ configShow

◆ ipaddrShow

◆ licenseShow

◆ switchShow

You should also consider keeping hardcopy versions of key data such as passwords, license keys, and IP addresses. This is sensitive information and should be kept in a secure location.

Note: Passwords are not saved in the configuration file, and are not uploaded during a configUpload. Password information should be saved in hardcopy in a secure location for emergency reference, subject to your security and password management policy.

Replacing a port blade and filler panel

This section describes how to remove and replace port blades (see

Figure 14 on page 78) and blade filler panels (see Figure 15 on page 79) from the ED-48000B.

A filler panel should be removed only when being replaced with a port blade or new filler panel. Any slot that is not occupied by a port blade should be occupied by a filler panel to ensure correct cooling of the chassis and protection from dust. Slots are numbered from one through ten, from left to right, when facing the portside of the directors.

CAUTION

Wear a grounded ESD strap when handling a port blade. The chassis has a grounding connection above the power connectors (see Figure 19 on page 98).

Do not force the port blade installation. If the port blade does not slide in easily, ensure that it is correctly aligned inside the rail guides before continuing. Installing a port blade with incorrect alignment damages both the chassis and the replacement part.

Remove and Replace System Components

Hold the port blade by the edges of the metal pan. Do not use the ejectors to hold a port blade.

Disassembling any part of a port blade voids the part warranty and regulatory certifications. There are no user-serviceable parts inside the port blade.

Time and items required

The replacement procedure for each port blade or filler panel takes less than 10 minutes.

The following items are required for the port blade and filler panel replacement procedure:

◆ ESD (electrostatic discharge) grounding strap

◆ Workstation com puter

◆ Replacement port blade or filler panel

◆ #2 Phillips screwdriver

Removing a port blade

Remove and Replace System Components

To remove a port blade:

1. Check the power LED, status LED, and port status LED to identify any possible problems with the port blade. See Figure 6

on page 57 for LED locations on the port blade.

A failed port blade can be identified by inspecting the LEDs on the front panel of each port blade (see Figure 6). The WWN bezel on the nonport side of the ED-48000B also displays a power and status LED for each port blade. Refer to the appropriate hardware reference manual for additional information about the LEDs on the WWN bezel.

2. Establish a Telnet or console session. Before replacing a port blade, establish a Telnet or console

connection to determine a failure and verify operation after replacement. Use the switchShow command to view the status of blades on the director. See the Fabric OS Administrator’s Guide for information about how to check the status of hardware components using the command line interface (CLI).

3. Check for adequate cable slack. Make sure there is plenty of cable slack to remove a port blade

without optical, power, or Ethernet cable obstruction. Refer to

“Managing cables” on page 39 for cabling guidelines.

4. Ensure that you have the proper spare part (filler panel or replacement port blade).

Make sure that the part number on the unit being replaced matches the replacement part number. The chassisShow command displays information about the port blades, including part numbers (xx-000xxxx-xx), EMC serial numbers, and additional status.

5. Ensure that traffic is not flowing through the port blade (port speed LEDs and port status LEDs should be off) prior to disconnecting cables.

Note: Before removing any cables from a faulty port blade, make a note of cable order (identify each cable via its physical port). This reduces confusion during recabling. If multiple port blades are being replaced, replace one blade at a time to prevent

Replacing a CP blade

This section describes how to remove and replace a control processor (CP) blade from the ED-48000B (see Figure 17 on page 87). Each ED-48000B has two CP cards: one located in slot 5 and the other in slot 6.

The ED-48000B can continue to operate while one CP card is replaced if the other CP card continues to operate and no failover occurs (you can prevent failover by entering the hadisable command). The active CP card is determined by the most recent failover.

The configuration on the active CP card is automatically mirrored to the standby CP card; this section includes steps to ensure that the new CP card boots up as the standby CP card.

The new CP card automatically assumes the IP address and host name assigned to the slot.

If the new CP card does not have the same firmware as the active CP card, it must be upgraded or downgraded to the same firmware version.

Remove and Replace System Components

CAUTION

To ensure adequate system pressure for cooling purposes, leave the faulty CP blade in the slot until you are ready to perform the replacement procedure.

To allow the current configuration to be copied to a new CP blade, that CP blade must be installed while the other CP blade is still operating.

Wear a grounded ESD strap when handling a CP blade. A grounding connection is available on the chassis, above the power connectors.

Hold CP blades by the edges of the metal pans, not by the ejector handles.

Disassembling any part of a CP blade voids the part warranty and regulatory certifications. There are no user-serviceable parts inside a CP blade.

Remove and Replace System Components

Note: Enter all remaining commands from the serial console for the active CP blade, unless otherwise indicated. For more information about commands, refer to the Fabric OS Command Reference Manual.

3. If the healthy CP blade is performing as the active CP blade, continue with step 5 on page 90. If the faulty CP blade is performing as the active CP blade, fail over the blades as described here:

a. Log in to the faulty CP blade as admin, using either a Telnet or

a serial console connection. If you connect successfully to the faulty CP continue to step b. If you cannot connect to the faulty CP, remove the faulty CP

blade for repair as follows: – Turn the CP blade off and notify the ED-48000B of a

hot-swap request by sliding the slider switch in the top ejector down to the off position (see Figure 6 on page 57).

– Wait until the active CP LED on the healthy CP blade is lit.

You ca n remove the CP for repair.

b. Type

haFailover. The healthy CP blade becomes the active

CP blade.

c. Wait until the status LED on the healthy CP blade is no longer

lit (indicating the failover is complete).

d. Type

haShow from the healthy CP blade (the new active CP

blade) to verify the failover. Following is an example of failing over a CP blade in an

ED-48000B:

'HA State synchronized', then the CPs are not synchronized and this operation will cause the active CP to reset. This will cause disruption to devices attached to both switch 0 and switch 1 and will require that existing telnet sessions be restarted. To reboot a single logical switch on this system, use the switchreboot command while logged in to that logical switch.

Are you sure you want to fail over to the standby CP [y/n]?

5. Type

haDisable from the active CP blade to prevent failover or

communication between the CP blades during the replacement.

6. Logged in to the active CP, type the

configUpload command to

upload the switch configuration to a specified FTP server. Enter the requested information at the prompts.

Following is a sample of backing up the configuration files on the director:

swDir:admin> configUpload Protocol (scp or ftp) [ftp]: ftp Server Name or IP Address [host]: 123.456.78.90 User Name [None]: user File Name [config.txt]: config.txt Password: xxxxxxxx upload complete

The ED-48000B director continues to operate while a CP blade is being replaced if the redundant CP blade is active and a failover does not occur (you can prevent failover by entering the haDisable command).

CAUTION

The core section within the ED-48000B director CP blades provides internal routing bandwidth that is always active on both CP blades. Removing a CP blade might impact user performance and should not occur until the replacement CP blade is ready to be installed.

Replacing a power supply and filler panel

Use this procedure to remove and replace a power supply. The ED-48000B can continue operating during the replacement if at least one power supply continues operating. A minimum of two power supplies are recommended.

Note: You do not need to notify the ED-48000B of a hot-swap request for a power supply. The power supply bays are isolated; power supply filler panels are not required to ensure correct air flow.

The power supply unit slots are numbered 1 through 4 from bottom to top when facing the portside of the chassis. The AC power connector on the left provides power to the power supplies in slots 1 and 3; the AC power connector on the right provides power to the power supplies in slots 2 and 4 (see Figure 18 on page 97). The AC power connectors and the power supply slots are color-coded to identify which AC power connectors provide power to which power supply slots. Power supply unit labels for slots 1 and 3 and the corresponding AC power connector label are violet, and power supply unit labels for slots 2 and 4 and the corresponding AC power connector label are yellow.

For information about how to check the status of hardware components using Fabric OS commands, refer to the Fabric OS Administrator’s Guide.

CAUTION

To protect against AC failure on the ED-48000B, EMC recommends a minimum of one power supply in slot 1 or 3 and one in slot 2 or 4. Additional power supplies might be required depending on how populated the switch is. For detailed information on minimum power supply requirements for each director, refer to the appropriate hardware reference manual.

If only two power supplies are installed and they are both installed in slots corresponding to the same AC power connector cable, unplugging a single AC power connector cable powers down the entire chassis.
