7. AC power inlet3. Ethernet port with two Ethernet status LEDs

Nonport side of the 8/8 and 8/24 SAN Switch

The nonport side is used solely for airflow. The enclosure uses forced-air cooling, with the fans
pushing the air from the nonport side of the chassis through the enclosure, and exhausting to
the port side.

Activating additional 8/8 and 8/24 SAN Switch ports

By default, the 8/8 SAN Switch model integrates eight licensed ports (ports 0 through 7).
Additionally, the 8/24 SAN Switch model integrates 16 licensed ports (ports 0 through 15). To
enable additional ports, you must purchase and install the HPE Storage Works 8/8 and 8/24 SAN
Switch 8-Gb 8-port Upgrade LTU (part number T5518A):

• For the 8/8 SAN Switch—To enable ports 8 through 15, you must purchase and install one
upgrade license. To enable ports 15 through 23, you must purchase and install one upgrade
license.

• For the 8/24 SAN Switch—To enable ports 15 through 23, you must purchase and install a
second upgrade license.

See Installing and activating Port Upgrade licenses (page 20).

Enabling E_Ports on the 8/8 SAN Switch

The 8/8 SAN Switch model requires that you purchase the HPE StorageWorks Full Fabric Upgrade
License (part number T4261A) to enable E_Ports (the 8/24 SAN Switch ships with the Full Fabric
license installed).

By default, the 8/8 SAN Switch cannot be connected to another switch until this license is installed.
Without the license, the switch can still be connected directly to hosts and storage devices. To
install the Full Fabric Upgrade License, use the licenseadd command. When installed, the

8/8 and 8/24 SAN Switch features 9

license appears under the licenseshow command as Full Fabric License and indicates

Installing and activating Port Upgrade licenses

1. Use the portshow command to verify the number of ports licensed on your switch. The
port status output indicates Started and Licensed for enabled ports. For more information
on this command, see the Fabric OS Command Reference Manual.

2. Obtain the WWN from the Switch ID pull-out tab located on the port side of your switch.
Alternately, you can use the switchshow command to display the WWN.

3. Contact your Hewlett Packard Enterprise representative to purchase the appropriate Port
Upgrade license. Hewlett Packard Enterprise requires the switch WWN obtained in Step 2
to assign a license key.

4. Install the license:
a. Log in to the switch as admin.
b. Issue the licenseadd command, followed by the license key enclosed in quotation

marks. (The license key consists of approximately 16 uppercase and lowercase letters
and numerals.)

IMPORTANT: Enter the license key exactly as issued. If you enter the key incorrectly,
the license will not function properly.

c. Enter the licenseshow command to verify that the license is valid. If a licensed product

is not displayed, the license is not valid.

NOTE: It is not necessary to reboot the system.

5. Configure the inactive ports. Enter the portstart command to start the ports. This command
loads the port code, unlike the portenable command, which enables the port laser. For
example:

portstart 16–31

6. Enter the portenable command to enable the ports. For example:

portenable 16–31

7. (Optional) Enter the portshow command to verify that the newly activated ports are started.

SAN Switch ISL Trunking groups

All 8-Gb SAN Switch models support ISL Trunking as an optional, licensed feature for FC ports.
When this feature is enabled, trunked groups of up to eight contiguous ports are created.

20 HPE StorageWorks 8-Gb SAN Switches

For example, the Fibre Channel ports on the SAN Switch are numbered from left to right and
color-coded into groups of eight to indicate which ports you can combine into trunked groups.

Figure 12 (page 21) shows the 8/8 SAN Switch with three trunked groups of eight ports.

NOTE: If your 8-Gb SAN Switch is licensed for ISL Trunking (for example, Power Pack+ models
ship with this license), use the trunking groups available on the switch.

Figure 12 Trunking groups example

3. Trunk group 3: Ports 16–231. Trunk group 1: Ports 0–7

2. Trunk group 2: Ports 8–15

SAN Switch Rack Mount Kit hardware and rail assemblies:

• Two rear mounting brackets

• A right inner rail and a right outer rail

• A left inner rail and a left outer rail

One 8-Gb SAN Switch, including power supply and fan assembly units

Installation and safety considerations

You can install the switch in a rack or as a standalone device on a flat surface.
Hewlett Packard Enterprise highly recommends mounting the switch in one of the following

Hewlett Packard Enterprise customized racks:

• HPE System/e Rack

• HPE 10000 Series Rack

Electrical considerations

For successful installation and operation of the switch, ensure that the following electrical
requirements are met:

• The primary outlet is correctly wired, protected by a circuit breaker, and grounded in
accordance with local electrical codes.

• The supply circuit, line fusing, and wire size are adequate, as specified by the electrical
rating on the switch nameplate.

• A minimum of 79.8 cubic meters/hour (47 cubic feet/minute) of airflow is available to the air
intake vents on the nonport side of the switch.

• The power supply standards provided in Power supply specifications (page 75), are met.

Installation and safety considerations 25

Environmental considerations

Before installing the switch, verify that the following environmental requirements are met:

• Install the switch with the nonport side, which contains the air intake vents, facing the cool-air
aisle.

• All equipment in the rack forces air in the same direction, to avoid taking in exhaust air.

• A minimum of 24 cubic ft/min of airflow is available to the air intake vents on the nonport

side of the switch.

• The ambient air temperature does not exceed 40°C (104°F) while the switch is operating.

IMPORTANT: The 40ºC value applies to the ambient air temperature at the air intake vents
on the nonport side of the switch. The temperature inside the switch can be up to 80ºC (176ºF)
during switch operation. If the internal temperature range exceeds the operating ranges of the
components, the LEDs, error messages, and Fabric Watch alerts indicate a problem. Enter the
tempshow or fabric watch command to view the temperature status.

Rack mount considerations

If you are installing the switch in a rack, verify that the following requirements are met:

• The cabinet or rack must be a standard EIA cabinet.

• Plan rack mount space that is 1 U high, and 48.3 cm (19 inches) wide. One U is 4.45 cm

(1.75 inches).

• Ground all equipment in the cabinet through a reliable branch circuit connection, and maintain
ground at all times. Do not rely on a secondary connection to a branch circuit, such as a
power strip.

• Ensure that airflow and temperature requirements are met on an ongoing basis, particularly
if the switch is installed in a closed or multirack assembly.

• Verify that the additional weight of the switch does not exceed the cabinet’s weight limits.

• Secure the rack to ensure stability in case of unexpected movement, such as an earthquake.

Cabling considerations

NOTE: Cables can be organized and managed in a variety of ways: for example, using cable
channels on the sides of the cabinet or patch panels to minimize cable management.

Before installing the switch, plan for cable management based on the following Hewlett Packard
Enterprise recommendations:

• Leave enough space to allow for the fact that the minimum bend radius for a 50-micron cable
is 5 cm (2 inches) under full tensile load and 3 cm (1.2 inches) with no tensile load.

• Leave at least 1 m (3.28 ft) of slack for each port cable. This provides room to remove and
replace the switch, allows for inadvertent movement of the rack, and helps prevent the cables
from being bent to less than the minimum bend radius.

• If you are using ISL Trunking, consider grouping cables by trunking groups. The cables used
in trunking groups must meet specific requirements, as described in the Fabric OS
Administrator's Guide.

• For easier maintenance, label the fiber optic cables, and record the devices to which they
are connected.

26 Installing and configuring an 8-Gb SAN Switch

• Keep LEDs visible by routing port cables and other cables away from the LEDs.

CAUTION: Do not use tie wraps on fiber optic cables because wraps are easily
overtightened and can damage the optical fibers.

• Use Velcro straps to secure and organize fiber optic cables.

Items required for installation

Obtain the following:

• 8-Gb SAN Switch installed and connected to a power source

• A workstation with an installed terminal emulator, such as HyperTerminal

• Unused IP address and corresponding subnet mask and gateway address

• Serial cable (supplied with switch)

• Ethernet cable

• SFP transceivers and compatible cables, as required

NOTE: For FCoE Converged Network Switches, both HPE-branded FC SFPs and CEE
10-GbE SFPs are required. FC SFP+ transceivers are required for 8-Gb/s performance;
copper cables must be HPE-branded.

• Access to an FTP server to back up the switch configuration (optional)

Installing the switch as a standalone device

To install the switch as a standalone unit:

1. Unpack the switch, and verify that all items listed in Shipping carton contents (page 24) are
present.

2. Locate the four rubber feet in the accessory box.

3. Apply the adhesive rubber feet to the switch. The rubber feet help prevent the switch from
sliding off the supporting surface.

a. Clean the indentations at each corner of the bottom of the switch to ensure that they

are free of dust or other debris that can lessen the adhesion of the feet.

b. With the adhesive side against the chassis, place one rubber foot in each indentation

and press into place.

4. Place the switch on a flat, sturdy surface.

5. Apply power to the switch as described in Powering on the 8-Gb SAN Switch (page 38).

CAUTION: Do not connect the switch to the network until the IP address is set. See Setting

the switch IP address (page 39).

Installing the switch using the SAN Switch Rack Mount Kit

Before you begin—Important information about the plenum

The plenum is an air duct that attaches to the switch rails, enabling the switch to draw cooler air
into the switch from outside the rack, rather than drawing in heated air from within the rack.

A plenum ships with the following 8–Gb SAN Switch models only:

• SAN Switch 2/8V

• SAN Switch 2/8

28 Installing and configuring an 8-Gb SAN Switch

• SAN Switch 2/16V

• 4/8 SAN Switch

• 4/16 SAN Switch

• 4/32B SAN Switch

• 8/8 SAN Switch

• 8/24 SAN Switch

See (page 36) for instructions on installing the plenum.

Installation and safety guidelines

Verify that the rack and the area around the rack meet the following requirements:

• Plan a rack space that is 1.5 units high (6.7 cm or 2.6 inches), 48.3 cm (19 inches) wide,
and at least 68.6 cm (23 inches) deep. For the MP Router, 4/64 SAN Switch, or 8/80 SAN
Switch, and Encryption SAN Switch, plan a rack space that is at least 2 units high.

• Ground all equipment in the rack through a reliable branch circuit connection, and maintain
ground at all times. Do not rely on a secondary connection to a branch circuit, such as a
power strip.

• Ensure that airflow and temperature requirements are met on an ongoing basis.

• Secure the rack to ensure stability in case of unexpected movement.

Installing the switch using the SAN Switch Rack Mount Kit 29

Installing the HPE SAN Switch Rack Mount Kit in your Hewlett Packard Enterprise custom rack

The SAN Switch Rack Mount Kit enables you to install your Hewlett Packard Enterprise device
in the following Hewlett Packard Enterprise custom racks:

• HPE System/e Rack

• HPE 10000 Series rack

For optimal cable management, Hewlett Packard Enterprise recommends that you install the
SAN Switch Rack Mount Kit to allow the nonport side of the device to slide out of the cool-air
side of the rack. In this installation, the port side of the switch is set back from the edge of the
rack, allowing a more gradual bend in the fiber optic cables.

NOTE: The SAN Switch Rack Mount Kit installation requires one technician.

The following items are required to install the switch in a rack:

• Power cables

• A #2 Phillips screwdriver

• A 7/16-inch wrench or socket

the same screws used to attach the inner rails in Step 5 of the preceding section.

3. For each inner rail (left and right), use one screw hole marked 8 and one screw hole marked

16 to attach the plenum.

CAUTION: Verify that the open end of the plenum faces the rear of the switch. When installed

properly, you should see the plenum's air vent holes on one side, and the front panel of the switch
on the other.

36 Installing and configuring an 8-Gb SAN Switch

Securing the device to the outer rails

To secure the device to the outer rails:

1. Insert the switch with the attached inner rails into the outer rails.

NOTE: This step applies to the installation of a device in an HPE 9000 Series Rack or
HPE System/e Rack.

2. Insert the device into the rack, and install one #10-32 x 1/2-inch Phillips panhead screw with
captive star lock washer. Repeat for the remaining side. (See Figure 22 (page 37) and

Figure 23 Securing the device in an HPE System/e Rack

3. Tighten the hex nuts installed in ??? of Page 30. (See Page 33.)

This completes the rack mount procedure.

Cabling and configuring the SAN Switch

The SAN Switch must be configured to ensure correct operation with a network and fabric. For
instructions on configuring the switch to operate in a fabric containing switches from other vendors,
see the Fabric OS Administrator's Guide.

For more information about the commands used in this procedure, see the Fabric OS Command
Reference Manual for the Fabric OS version running on your switch.

Cabling and configuring the SAN Switch 37

Connecting the SAN Switch to the fabric

This section describes the procedure for connecting the SAN Switch to the fabric.

EZSwitch Setup (optional)

After you have set up the 8-Gb SAN Switch in a rack or as a standalone switch, you can power
it on and configure it. If you are going to use the 8-Gb SAN Switch in a single-switch setup, you
can use EZSwitch Setup to complete the basic configuration.

For more information, see the EZSwitch Setup CD or HPE StorageWorks 8-Gb SAN Switch
Quick Start Instructions, included with your 8-Gb SAN Switch.

If you do not want to use EZSwitch Setup, use the procedures that follow.

Obtaining required items

To configure the SAN Switch for use in a network, ensure that you have the following:

• 8-Gb SAN Switch installed and connected to a power source

• Workstation with an installed terminal emulator, such as HyperTerminal

• Unused IP address and corresponding subnet mask and gateway address

• Serial cable (supplied with switch)

• Ethernet cable

• SFP transceivers and compatible cables, as required

• Access to an FTP server to back up the switch configuration (optional)

Powering on the 8-Gb SAN Switch

The 8/8 and 8/24 SAN Switches use one power cord. The 8/40 and 8/80 SAN Switches, Encryption
SAN Switch, FCoE Converged Network Switch, and 1606 Extension SAN Switch use two power
cords.

IMPORTANT: The 8/8 and 8/24 SAN Switches do not have an on/off switch. Power is supplied
as soon as you connect it to an AC power source.

To power on the switch:

1. Connect the power cords to a power inlet on the switch and to a power source. Verify that
the cords use a minimum service loop of 15.2 cm (6 inches) to avoid stress. The switch
powers on automatically; there is no ON/OFF switch. To power off, remove the power cord
from the power source.

CAUTION: To protect against AC failure on the 8/40 and 8/80 SAN Switches, Encryption
SAN Switch, FCoE Converged Network Switch, and 1606 Extension SAN Switch, connect
each power cord to an outlet on separate circuits.

2. For the 8/40 and 8/80 SAN Switches, Encryption SAN Switch, FCoE Converged Network
Switch, and 1606 Extension SAN Switch, set the two AC switches to the ON position (1).
Power is supplied to the switch as soon as the first power supply is connected and turned
on.

The power supply LEDs display amber until POST completes, and then change to green.
The switch usually requires from 1 to 3 minutes to boot and complete POST.

3. After POST completes, verify that the switch Power and Status LEDs light are green.

38 Installing and configuring an 8-Gb SAN Switch

Powering off the 8-Gb SAN Switch

1. Execute the sysshutdown command.
This command shuts down the key processors and powers off the switch. All LEDs extinguish.

2. Set each AC power switch to O.

Making a serial connection

All basic configuration tasks require a serial connection.

1. Connect the serial cable to an RS-232 serial port on the workstation, as shown in

Figure 24 (page 39). ??? shows the 8/40 SAN Switch; however, the procedure is similar for

all SAN Switches.

NOTE: If the serial port on the workstation uses an RJ-45 connector instead of an RS-232
connector, 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.

Figure 24 Connecting the serial cable

2. Close any serial communication programs running on the workstation.

3. Open a terminal emulator application (such as HyperTerminal on a PC or TERM in a UNIX
environment) and configure the application as follows:

• In a Windows 95, 98, 2000, or NT environment:

◦ Bits per second—9600

◦ Data bits—8

◦ Parity—None

◦ Stop bits—1

◦ Flow control—None

• In a UNIX environment, enter the following at the prompt:

tip/dev/ttyb –9600
If ttyb is already in use, use ttya instead and enter the following string at the prompt:

tip /dev/ttya -9600

Setting the switch IP address

You can configure the 8-Gb SAN Switch with a static IP address, or you can use a DHCP server
to set the IP address. DHCP is enabled by default. The 8-Gb SAN Switch supports both IPv4
and IPv6.

Connecting the SAN Switch to the fabric 39

DHCP

When using DHCP, the 8-Gb SAN Switch obtains an IP address, subnet mask, and default
gateway address from the DHCP server. The DHCP client can only connect to a DHCP server
that is on the same subnet as the switch. If your DHCP server is not on the same subnet as the
8-Gb SAN Switch, use a static IP address.

Setting a static IP address

1. Log in to the switch using the default password, (password).

2. Enter ipaddrset to set the Ethernet IP address.
If you are going to use an IPv4 IP address, enter the IP address in dotted decimal notation

as prompted:

Ethernet IP Address: [192.168.74.102]

If you are going to use an IPv6 address, enter the network information in colon-separated
notation as prompted:

switch:admin> ipaddrset -ipv6 --add 1080::8:800:200C:417A/64

IP address is being changed...Done.

3. Enter the IP addressing information, as prompted.

Ethernet Subnetmask: [255.255.255.0]

Ethernet IP Address: [192.168.74.102]

Ethernet Subnetmask: [255.255.255.0]

4. Enter off to disable DHCP when prompted.

DHCP [OFF]: off

5. (Optional) Verify that the address is correct by issuing the ipaddrshow command at the
prompt.

6. Record the IP address on the label located on the port side of the chassis.
Record the IP address on the pull-out tab on the port side of the switch.

7. If the serial port is no longer required, log out of the serial console, remove the serial cable,
and replace the safety plug in the serial port.

Connecting an Ethernet cable and opening a Telnet session

To create an Ethernet connection to the switch:

1. Remove the plug from the Ethernet port.

2. Connect an Ethernet cable to the switch Ethernet port and to the workstation or to an Ethernet
network containing the workstation.

3. Open a Telnet session on the workstation.

NOTE: The following procedures use the CLI, but these tasks can also be performed
using Web Tools or DCFM. For DCFM versions earlier than 10.3.0, Enterprise is required
for the Encryption SAN Switch. For DCFM 10.3.0 and later, any DCFM version (Professional,
Professional Plus, or Enterprise) is supported with encryption.

Setting the domain ID

To set the switch domain ID:

1. Using Telnet, log in to the switch as admin.

40 Installing and configuring an 8-Gb SAN Switch

2. Modify the domain ID, if required. The default domain ID is 1.

• If the switch is not powered on until after it is connected to the fabric and the default
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 it has been powered on and the default
domain ID is already in use, the fabric segments. To find the domain IDs that are currently
in use, run the fabricshow command on another switch in the fabric, and then do the
following:

1. Disable the switch by entering the switchdisable command.

2. Enter the configure command.
The command prompts appear sequentially.

3. Enter a new value or press Enter to accept each default value.

4. Enter y after the Fabric param prompt:

Fabric param (yes, y, no, n): [no] y

5. Enter a unique domain ID, such as the domain ID used by the previous switch, if it is
still available:

Domain: (1 ..239) [1] 3

6. Complete the remaining prompts or press Ctrl-D to accept the remaining settings without
completing all the prompts.

7. Re-enable the switch by entering the switchenable command.

Setting the switch date and time

The 8-Gb SAN Switch maintains the current date and time inside a battery-backed RTC circuit.
Switch operation does not depend on the date and time. An 8-Gb SAN Switch with an incorrect
date and time value still functions properly. However, it is important that your switch shows the
accurate date and time, because these are used for logging, error detection, and troubleshooting.

1. Log in to the switch using the default password, (password).

2. Enter the date command:

date "mmddHHMMyy"

The values represent the following:

• mm is the month; valid values are 01 through 12.

• dd is the date; valid values are 01 through 31.

• HH is the hour; valid values are 00 through 23.

• MM is minutes; valid values are 00 through 59.

• yy is the year; valid values are 00 through 99. (Values greater than 69 are interpreted

as 1970 through 1999, and values less than 70 are interpreted as 2000-2069.)

About setting time zones

You can set the time zone for the switch by name. You can also set country, city, or time zone
parameters.

Connecting the SAN Switch to the fabric 41

If the time zone is not set with the new options, the switch retains the offset time zone settings.
The tstimezone command includes an option to revert to the prior time zone format. For more
information about the --old option, see the Fabric OS Command Reference Manual.

You can use the tstimezone command to:

• Display all of the time zones supported in the firmware.

• View the time zone settings. However, only those with administrative permissions can set

the time zones.

• Set the time zone for a switch based on a country and city combination or based on a time
zone ID, such as PST.

Consider the following:

• The tsTimeZone setting adjusts automatically for daylight savings time.

• Changing the time zone on a switch updates the local time zone setup and is reflected in

local time calculations.

• By default, all switches are in the GMT time zone (0,0). If all switches in a fabric are in one
time zone, you can keep the time zone setup at the default setting.

• System services that have already started reflect the time zone changes only after the next
reboot.

• Time zone settings persist across failover for high availability.

Setting the time zone

IMPORTANT: The following procedure describes how to set the time zone for a switch. You
must perform the procedure on all switches for which the time zone must be set. However, you
only need to set the time zone once on each switch, because the value is written to nonvolatile
memory.

1. Log in to the switch using the default password, (password).

2. Enter the tstimezone command:
switch:admin> tstimezone [--interactive]/ [, timezone_fmt]
Use timezone_fmt to set the time zone by Country/City or by time zone ID, such as PST.

The following example shows how to change the time zone to US/Central:

switch:admin> tstimezone

Time Zone : US/Pacific

switch:admin> tstimezone US/Central

switch:admin> tstimezone

Time Zone : US/Central

To set the time zone using interactive mode:

1. Enter the tstimezone command:

switch:admin> tstimezone --interactive

2. You are prompted to select a general location.

Please identify a location so that time zone rules can be set
correctly.

3. Enter the appropriate number or Ctrl-D to quit.

4. At the prompt, select a country location.

5. At the prompt, enter the appropriate number to specify the time zone region or Ctrl-D to quit.

42 Installing and configuring an 8-Gb SAN Switch

Correcting the time zone

If the switch time is off by hours (not minutes), set the time zone as follows:

1. Log in as admin.

2. Enter the tstimezone -interactive command and follow the prompts or enter the

tstimezone command as follows:

tstimezone [houroffset [, minuteoffset]]

For Pacific Standard Time, enter tstimezone -8,0
For Central Standard Time, enter tstimezone -6,0
For Eastern Standard Time, enter tstimezone -5,0

The default time zone for switches is UTC, which is 8 hours ahead of Pacific Standard Time. To
determine the tstimezone command parameter for other U.S. time zones, see (page 43).

The parameters do not apply if the time zone for the switch has already been changed from the
default (UTC). Because the time value is stored in nonvolatile memory, you need only set this
once.

For more information about the command parameters, see the tstimezone command description
in the Fabric OS Command Reference.

Table 7 tstimezone command parameters

tstimezone parameter (difference from UTC)Local time

Synchronizing local time using Network Time Protocol

You can synchronize the local time of the principal or primary FCS switch to a maximum of eight
external NTP servers. To keep the time in your SAN current, Hewlett Packard Enterprise
recommends that the principal or primary FCS switch has its time synchronized with at least one
external NTP server. The other switches in the fabric set their time automatically from the principal
or primary FCS switch.

All switches in the fabric maintain the current clock server value in nonvolatile memory. By default,
this value is the local clock server <LOCL> of the principal or primary FCS switch. Changes to
the clock server value on the principal or primary FCS switch are propagated to all switches in
the fabric.

Connecting the SAN Switch to the fabric 43

For more information on using an NTP server, and IPv6 considerations, see the Fabric OS
Administrator's Guide.

44 Installing and configuring an 8-Gb SAN Switch

1. Log in to the switch using the default password: password.

2. Enter the tsclockserver command:
switch:admin> tsclockserver “<ntp1;ntp2>”
where ntp1 is the IP address or DNS name of the first NTP server, which the switch must

be able to access. The second ntp2 is the second NTP server and is optional. The operand
“<ntp1;ntp2>” is optional. By default, this value is LOCL, which uses the local clock of
the principal or primary switch as the clock server.

The tsclockserver command accepts multiple server addresses in either IPv4, IPv6, or
DNS name formats. When multiple NTP server addresses are passed, tsclockserver
sets the first obtainable address as the active NTP server. The rest are stored as backup
servers that can take over if the active NTP server fails. The principal or primary FCS switch
synchronizes its time with the NTP server every 64 seconds.

switch:admin> tsclockserver

LOCLx

switch:admin> tsclockserver "132.163.135.131"

switch:admin> tsclockserver

132.163.135.131

switch:admin>

The following example shows how to set up more than one NTP server using a DNS name:

switch:admin> tsclockserver
"10.32.170.1;10.32.170.2;ntp.localdomain.net"

Updating Clock Server configuration...done.

Updated with the NTP servers

Changes to the clock server value on the principal or primary FCS switch are propagated
to all switches in the fabric.

Verifying the configuration

To confirm that the switch is configured and ready for use:

1. Check the LEDs to verify that all components are functional. For information about LED
patterns, see (page 53).

2. Issue the switchshow command from the workstation. This command provides information
about the switch and port status.

3. Issue the fabricshow command from the workstation. This command provides general
information about the fabric.

Backing up the configuration

Hewlett Packard Enterprise recommends regular backups to ensure that a recent configuration
is available.

To back up the switch configuration to an FTP server:

1. Issue the configupload command.

2. Follow the prompts.

The command uploads the switch configuration to the server, making it available for downloading
to a replacement switch, if necessary. For instructions on backing up the configuration, see the
Fabric OS Administrator's Guide.

Connecting the SAN Switch to the fabric 45

Changing the switch name and chassis name

Changing the switch and chassis names is important for accurate tracking of errors in the RASlog.
The messages in the log are labeled with the switch or chassis name, so choose a meaningful
name for the switch and chassis.

To change the chassis name and then the switch name:

1. Using Telnet, log in to the switch as admin.

2. Use the chassisname command to change the chassis name.
The following example shows how to change the chassis name to myhpchassis.

switch:admin> chassisname myhpchassis
switch:admin> chassisname
myhpchassis

3. Use the switchname command to change the switch name.
The following example shows how to change the switch name to myhpswitch.

switch:admin> switchname myhpswitch
switch:admin> switchname
myhpswitch

46 Installing and configuring an 8-Gb SAN Switch

3 Managing the 8-Gb SAN Switches

The 8-Gb SAN Switches are designed for high availability and low failure. They do not require
any regular physical maintenance. They include diagnostic tests and field-replaceable units for
the HPE StorageWorks 8/40 and 8/80 SAN Switches, the Encryption SAN Switch the FCoE
Converged Network Switch, and the 1606 Extension SAN Switch.

Configuring the Encryption SAN Switch

NOTE: For procedures to configure the encryption functions, including HPE Secure Key
Manager information, see the Fabric OS Encryption Administrator's Guide. For additional SKM
setup requirements, see the HPE Secure Key Manager User Guide.

If the Encryption SAN Switch is being configured for the first time for encryption services, you
must perform the following pre-initialization tasks related to configuring the encryption node
(switch):

• Generate the CSPs and certificates

• Load and set up the certificates

• Establish a trusted link (SKM Appliance)

• Configure the global parameters and policies of the encryption group

• Generate and back up the master key in SKM environments

• Handle key-vault high-availability

• Configure cluster interconnect

After completing the pre-initialization tasks, you may need to perform several tasks related to
configuring the encryption group. Figure 25 (page 47) summarizes the flow of encryption
configuration tasks.

Configuring the FCoE Converged Network Switch

For more information on configuring the CEE portion of the FCoE Converged Network Switch,
see the Brocade Converged Enhanced Ethernet Administrator's Guide.

Configuring the 1606 Extension SAN Switch

The following sections provide information on configuring the 1606 Extension SAN Switch.

FCIP and Fibre Channel routing services configuration

Initially, the FC ports on the 1606 Extension SAN Switch are set to persistently disabled. If you
want to enable the FC ports as standard E_Ports or F_Ports, use the
portcfgpersistentenable command.

If you are using the FC ports as EX_Ports, you must configure the Fibre Channel Routing Services
feature before enabling the ports. The GbE ports can be used only after you have configured
FCIP and enabled the VE_Ports.

For instructions on configuring the Fibre Channel Router ports and GbE ports on the 1606
Extension SAN Switch, see the Fabric OS Administrator's Guide.

48 Managing the 8-Gb SAN Switches

Verifying switch operation

To verify correct operation of the 1606 Extension SAN Switch:

1. Check the LEDs to verify that all components are functional (see (page 60)).

2. Execute the portcfgpersistentenable command to activate the FC ports for FC
operation.

3. Verify correct operation of the switch by entering the switchshow command from the
workstation.

This command provides information about switch and port status.

Nonport side LED activity for the 1606 Extension SAN Switch 63

1. Verify that the LEDs on the switch indicate that all components are healthy. (LED patterns
are described in (page 53) and (page 54).) If one or more LEDs do not display a healthy
state, do the following:

a. Verify that the LEDs are not set to beacon (this can be determined through the

switchshow command or Web Tools). For information about how to turn beaconing
on and off, see the Fabric OS Administrator's Guide or the Web Tools Administrator's
Guide.

b. Follow the recommended action for the observed LED behavior, as listed in Table 8 (page

53) and Table 9 (page 54).

2. Verify that the switch prompt appears on the terminal of a computer workstation that is
connected to the switch.

If the prompt does not appear when POST completes, press Enter. If the prompt still does
not appear, open another Telnet session or access the switch through another management
tool. If this is not successful, the switch did not successfully complete POST. Contact the
switch supplier.

3. Using either Web Tools or the CLI, verify that the diagnostic status for all ports in the switch
is OK.

• If you are using Web Tools, select Port Admin or Status to display information about

the ports.

• If you are using the CLI, use the diagshow command.

4. Review the system log for errors.

• If you are using Web Tools, errors are listed under Switch Events.

• If you are using the CLI, errors detected during POST are written to the system log,

which is viewed using the errshow command. For more information about this
command, see the Fabric OS Message Reference.

Maintaining the 8-Gb SAN Switches

The 8-Gb SAN Switches are designed for high availability and low failure. They do not require
any regular physical maintenance. They include diagnostic tests and FRUs for the 8/40, 8/80,
Encryption SAN Switch, FCoE Converged Network Switch, and 1606 Extension SAN Switch, as
described in the following sections.

Installing an SFP

The 8-Gb SAN Switches support only HPE-branded SFPs. For ordering information, see Supported

SFP transceiver options (page 21).

If you use an unqualified SFP, the switchshow command output will show the port in an Mod_Inv
state. Additionally, the firmware logs the issue in the system error log.

To install an SFP:

1. Verify that the bale (wire handle) is in the unlocked position (see Figure 34 (page 65)).

2. Place the SFP in the correctly oriented position on the port.

NOTE: Each SFP has a gold-plated PCB-edge connector on the bottom. The correct
position to insert an SFP into the upper row of ports is with the gold edge down. The correct
position to insert an SFP into the lower row of ports is with the gold edge up.

3. Slide the SFP into the port until you feel it click into place; then close the bale.

64 Managing the 8-Gb SAN Switches

Figure 34 Installing an SFP in the upper row of port slot

Diagnostic Tests

In addition to POST, Fabric OS includes diagnostic tests to help you troubleshoot the hardware
and firmware. This includes tests of internal connections and circuitry, fixed media, and the
transceivers and cables in use. The tests are implemented by command, either through a Telnet
session or through a console set up to the serial connection to the switch. Some tests require
the ports to be connected by external cables to enable diagnostics to verify the
serializer/deserializer interface, transceiver, and cable. Some tests require loopback plugs.

Diagnostic tests for FC ports run at link speeds of 1, 2, 4 and 8 Gb/s.

IMPORTANT: Diagnostic tests might temporarily lock the transmit and receive speed of the
links during diagnostic testing. For information about specific diagnostic tests, see the Brocade

Replacing the 8/40 SAN Switch power supply and fan assembly

CAUTION: Disassembling any part of the power supply and fan assembly voids the warranty
and regulatory certifications. There are no user-serviceable parts inside the power supply and
fan assembly. Because the cooling system relies on pressurized air, do not leave any of the fan
assembly slots empty longer than two minutes while the switch is operating. If a fan assembly
fails, leave it in the switch until it can be replaced. Maintain all fan assemblies in operational
condition to provide redundancy.

Replacing the power supply and fan assembly unit takes approximately two minutes. You will
need:

• New power supply and fan assembly FRU (one unit)

• Phillips-head screwdriver #1

To replace the power supply and fan assembly unit:

1. Use a Phillips-head screwdriver to unscrew the captive screw on the power supply fan
assembly you are replacing.

2. Remove the power supply fan assembly you are replacing from the chassis by pulling the
handle out and away from the chassis.

3. Install the new power supply fan assembly unit in the chassis:
a. Orient the new fan assembly with the captive screw on the right.
b. Gently push the power supply fan assembly into the chassis until it is firmly seated.

CAUTION: Do not force the installation. If the power supply fan assembly does not
slide in easily, ensure that it is correctly oriented before continuing.

c. Secure the fan assembly to the chassis by screwing in the captive screw.

4. Verify that the fan status LED is lit steady green to indicate normal operation.

5. (Optional) Display the fan status using the fanshow command from the CLI.

Fibre Channel port specifications

The Fibre Channel ports in the 8-Gb SAN Switch are compatible with SWL, LWL, and ELWL
SFP transceivers. The strength of the signal is determined by the type of transceiver in use.

The ports meet all required safety standards.

FCoE Converged Network Switch data flow latency 79

The ports are capable of operating at 1, 2, 4, or 8 Gb/s and are able to autonegotiate to the
maximum link speed.

POST and boot specifications

The switch performs POST by default each time it is powered on or rebooted or the system is
reset. Boot time with POST is usually about 1 to 3 minutes.

POST can be skipped after subsequent reboots by entering the fastboot command. For more
information about this command, see the Fabric OS Command Reference Manual.

POST

The success/fail results of the diagnostic tests that run during POST can be monitored through
LED activity, the error log, or the CLI.

POST performs the following tasks:

• Conducts preliminary POST diagnostics

• Initializes the operating system

• Initializes the hardware

• Runs diagnostic tests on several functions, including circuitry, port functionality, memory,

statistics counters, and serialization

Boot

Boot performs the following tasks after POST is complete:

• Performs universal port configuration

• Initializes links

• Analyzes the fabric

If any ports are connected to other switches, the switch participates in a fabric configuration.

• Obtains a domain ID and assigns port addresses

• Constructs unicast routing tables

• Enables normal port operation

Supported HBAs and CNAs

NOTE: CNAs apply to the FCoE Converged Network Switch only.

For a list of HBAs that have been tested and are known to work with the SAN switches, see the
latest version of the HPE StorageWorks SAN Design Reference Guide, at http://www.hpe.com/

B Electrostatic discharge

This appendix provides the following information:

• How to prevent electrostatic discharge (page 93)

• Grounding methods (page 93)

How to prevent electrostatic discharge

To prevent damage to the system, you must follow certain precautions when setting up the system
or handling parts. A discharge of static electricity from a finger or other conductor may damage
system boards or other static-sensitive devices. This type of damage may reduce the life
expectancy of the device.

To prevent electrostatic damage, observe the following precautions:

• Avoid hand contact by transporting and storing products in static-safe containers.

• Keep electrostatic-sensitive parts in their containers until they arrive at static-free workstations.

• Place parts on a grounded surface before removing them from their containers.

• Avoid touching pins, leads, or circuitry.

• Always make sure you are properly grounded when touching a static-sensitive component

or assembly.

Grounding methods

There are several methods for grounding. Use one or more of the following methods when
handling or installing electrostatic-sensitive parts:

• Use a wrist strap connected by a ground cord to a grounded workstation or chassis. Wrist

straps are flexible straps with a minimum of 1 megohm ± 10 percent resistance in the ground
cords. To provide proper ground, wear the strap snug against the skin.

• Use heel straps, toe straps, or boot straps at standing workstations. Wear the straps on both

feet when standing on conductive floors or static-dissipating floor mats.

• Use conductive field service tools.

• Use a portable field service kit with a folding static-dissipating work mat.

If you do not have any of the suggested equipment for proper grounding, have an Hewlett Packard
Enterprise authorized reseller install the part.

NOTE: For more information on static electricity, or for assistance with product installation,
contact your HP authorized reseller.
