Introduction

The HP StorageWorks Edge Switch 2/32 provides dynamic switched connections between Fibre Channel servers and devices in a storage area network (SAN) environment. SANs introduce the concept of server-to-device networking and multi-switch fabrics, eliminate requirements for dedicated connections, and enable the enterprise to become data centric.

A SAN provides speed, high capacity, and flexibility for the enterprise, and is primarily based upon Fibre Channel architecture. The switch implements Fibre Channel technology that provides a bandwidth of 2.125 Gbps, redundant switched data paths, a scalable number of activ e ports, and long transmission distances (up to 35 km).

This chapter describes the switch and attached HP StorageWorks Ha-Fabric Manager (HAFM) server. The chapter specifically discusses:

• Switch management, error-detection and reporting features, serviceability features, zoning, multi-switch fabrics, and specifications.

• The HAFM server and minimum hardware specifications.

• Remote workstation configurations and hardware specifications.

• Maintenance approach.

• Field-replaceable units (FRUs).

• Connectors and indicators.

• Software diagnostic features.

• Tools and test equipment.

edge switch 2/32 installation guide 1–1

Introduction

Edge Switch 2/32 Description

The switch can be installed on a table or desk top, or mounted in an equipment cabinet or in any standard equipment rack.

Multiple switches and the HAFM server communicate on a local area network (LAN) through one or more 10Base-T Ethernet hubs. One or more 24-port Ethernet hubs are optional and can be ordered with the switch. Up to three hubs are daisy-chained as required to provide additional Ethernet connections as more switches (or other HP managed products) are installed on a customer network.

Figure 1–1 illustrates the switch, HAFM server, and Ethernet hub.

HPJ329 4 A

Figure 1–1: Switch, HAFM server, and Ethernet hub

The switch provides dynamic switched connections for servers and devices, supports mainframe and open-systems interconnection (OSI) computing envi ronments, and provides data transmission and flow control between device node ports (N_Ports) as dictated by the Fibre Channel Physical and Si gnalin g In terface (FC-PH 4.3). Through interswitch links (ISLs), the switch can connect additional switches to form a Fibre Channel multi-switch fabric.

The switch provides connectivity for devices manufactured by multiple original equipment manufacturers (OEMs). T o determine if an OEM product can communicate through connections provided by the switch, or if communication restrictions apply, refer to the supporting publications for the product or contact your HP marketing representative.

Features

The following sections describe the features of the Edge Switch 2/32:

Error-Detection, Reporting, and Serviceability

The switch provides the following error-detection, reporting, and serviceability features:

• Light-emitting diodes (LEDs) on switch FRUs and adjacent to Fibre Channel ports that provide visual indicators of hardware status or malfunctions.

• System and threshold alerts, event logs, audit logs, link incident logs, th reshold alert logs, and hardware logs that display switch, Ethernet link, and Fibre Channel link status at the HAFM server.

• Diagnostic software that performs power-on self-tests (POSTs) and port diagnostics (internal loopback, external loopback, and Fibre Channel (FC) loopback tests). The FC loopback test applies only when the switch is configured to operate in S/390 mode.

• Automatic notification of significant system events (to support personnel or administrators) through e-mail messages or the call-home feature at the HAFM server.

Introduction

• A modem for use by support personnel to dial-in to the HAFM server for event notification and to perform remote diagnostics.

• An RS-232 maintenance port at the rear of the switch (port access is password protected) that enables installation or service personnel to change the switch’s internet protocol (IP) address, subnet mask, and gateway address. Or to run diagnostics and isolate system problems through a local or remote terminal.

• Redundant FRUs—small form factor pluggable (SFP) optical transceivers, power supplies, and cooling fans—that are removed or replaced without disrupting switch or Fibre Channel link operation.

• A modular design that enables quick removal and replacement of FRUs without tools or equipment.

• Concurrent port maintenance—SFPs and fiber-optic cables are removed and attached to ports without interrupting other ports or director operation.

• Beaconing to assist service personnel in locating a specific port or switch. When port beaconing is enabled, the amber LED associated with the port flashes. When unit beaconing is enabled, the system error indicator on the front panel flashes. Beaconing does not affect port or switch operation.

edge switch 2/32 installation guide 1–3

Introduction

• Data collection through the Product Manager application to help isolate system

• Simple network management protocol (SNMP) management using th e Fibre

• SNMP management using the Fibre Channel Fabric Element MIB (Version 1.10),

NOTE: For more information about SNMP support provided by HP products, refer to the hp StorageWorks SNMP reference guide for director 2/64, edge switch 2/16, and edge switch 2/32.

Zoning

The switch supports a name server zoning feature that partitions attached devices into restricted-access groups called zones. Devices in the same zone can recognize and communicate with each other through switched port-to-port connections. Devices in separate zones cannot communicate with each other.

problems. The data includes a memory dump file and audit, hardware, and engineering logs.

Alliance MIB that runs on the HAFM server. Up to 12 authorized management workstations can be configured through the HAFM application to receive unsolicited SNMP trap messages. The trap messages indicate operational state changes and failure conditions.

transmission control protocol/internet protocol (TCP/IP) MIB-II definition (RFC

1213), or a product-specific MIB that run on each switch. Up to 12 authorized

management workstations can be configured through the Product Manager application to receive unsolicited SNMP trap messages. The trap messages indicate switch operational state changes and failure conditions.

Zoning is configured by authorizing or restricting access to name server information associated with device N_Ports that attach to switch fabric ports (F_Ports). A zone member is specified by the port number to which a device is attached, or by the eight-byte (16-digit) World Wide Name (WWN) assigned to the host bus adapter (HBA) or Fibre Channel interface installed in a device. A device can belong to multiple zones.

CAUTION: If zoning is implemented by port number, a change to the s witch fiber-optic cable configuration disrupts zone operation and may incorrectly include or exclude a device from a zone.

If zoning is implemented by WWN, removal and replacement of a device HBA or Fibre Channel interface (thereby changing the device WWN) disrupts zone operation and may incorrectly include or exclude a device from a zone.

In Open Fabric mode, only zoning by WWN is supported. Zoning by port numbers is not.

1–4 edge switch 2/32 installation guide

Zones are grouped into zone sets. A zone set is a group of zones that is enabled (activated) or disabled across all switches in a multi-switch fabric. Only one zone set can be enabled at one time.

Multi-Switch Fabrics

A Fibre Channel topology that consists of one or more interconnected switches or switch elements is called a fabric. Operational software provides the ability to interconnect switches (through expansion port (E_Port) connections) to form a multi-switch fabric. The data transmission path through the fabric is typically determined by fabric elements and is user-transparent. Subject to zoning restrictions, devices attached to any interconnected switch can communicate with each other through the fabric.

Switch Management

These options are available for managing the Edge Switch 2/32 through a user interface:

•The Product Manager application installed on an High Availability Fabric Manager (HAFM) server. Access to the Product Manager must be through the HAFM applications. These applications are installed on the HAFM server.

Introduction

• The Embedded Web Server interface. Using a browser-capable PC with an internet connection to the switch, you can monitor and manage the switch through the web server interface embedded in the switch firmware. The interface provides a GUI similar to the Product Manager application and supports switch configuration, statistics monitoring, and basic operation.

To launch the Embedded Web Server interfa ce, enter the switches IP address as the internet uniform resource locator (URL) into any standard browser. Enter a user name and password at a the login screen. The browser then becomes a management console. Refer to the web server interface online help for details on use.

NOTE: The default user name for the right to view status and other information is operator. The default user name for the right to modify configuration data, perform maintenance tasks, or perform other options is administrator. The default password for both user names is password.

• The command line interface (CLI). The CLI allows you to access many HAFM and Product Manager functions while entering commands during a Telnet session with the switch. The primary purpose of the CLI is to automate management of a large number of switches using scripts. The CLI is not an interactive interface; no

Figure 1–3: Edge Switch 2/32 (Rear View)

SFP Transceivers

A single-mode or multi-mode fiber-optic cable attaches to a port through a pluggable small form factor (SFP) transceiver. The SFP provides a duplex LC interface, and can be detached from the switch port for easy replacement. Two fiber-optic transceiver types are available:

• Shortwave laser — Shortwave laser SFPs provide short-distance connections (2 to 500 meters) through 50-micron or 62.5-micron multi-mode fiber.

• Longwave laser — Longwave laser SFPs provide long-distance connections (up to 10 kilometers) through 9-micron single-mode fiber.

Cooling Fans

Four fans (each a separate FR U) pro vide cooling for the switch power supplies and the control processor (CTP) card, as well as redundancy for continued operation if a single fan fails.

3 2

(2)

Each fan FRU can be replaced while the switch is operating.

Power Supplies

Redundant, load-sharing power supplies step down and rectify facility input power to provide 3.3 volts direct current (VDC), 5 VDC, and 12 VDC to the CTP. The power supplies also provide input filtering, overvoltage protection, and overcurrent protection. Either power supply can be replaced while the switch is operational.

edge switch 2/32 installation guide 1–7

Introduction

Each power supply has a separate CTP connection to allow for independent A C po wer sources. The power supplies are input-rated at 100 to 230 volts alternating current (VAC).

Power supply requirements are listed in Appendix B.

Connectors and Indicators

Connectors and indicators include the:

• Initial machine load (IML) button.

• Ethernet LAN connector.

• Green power (PWR) and amber system error (ERR) LEDs.

• Green and amber status LEDs associated with FRUs.

• RS-232 maintenance port.

Initial Machine Load Button

When the IML button, as shown in Figure 1–2 is pressed and held for three seconds, the switch performs an IML that takes approximately 30 seconds and resets the:

• Microprocessor and functional logic for the CTP and loads firmware from FLASH memory.

• Ethernet LAN interface, causing the connection to the HAFM server to drop momentarily until the connection automatically recovers.

• Ports, causing all Fibre Channel connections to drop momentarily until the connections automatically recover.

An IML should only be performed if a CTP failure is indicated. Do not IML the switch unless directed to do so by a procedural step or the next level of support. As a precaution, the IML button is flush mounted to protect against accidental activation.

Ethernet LAN Connector

The front panel provides a 10/100 megabit per second (Mbps) RJ-45 twisted-pair connector, as shown in Figure 1–2 that attaches to an Ethernet LAN to provide communication with the HAFM server or an SNMP management workstation. Two green LEDs are associated with the LAN connector. When illuminated, the left LED indicates LAN operation at 10 Mbps, and the right LED indicates LAN operation at 100 Mbps.

1–8 edge switch 2/32 installation guide

Power and System Error LEDs

The PWR LED, as shown in Figure 1–2 illuminates when the switch is connected to facility AC power and powered on. If the LED extinguishes, a facility power source, power cord, or power distribution failure is indicated.

The ERR LED, as shown in Figure 1–2 illuminates when the switch detects an event requiring immediate operator attention, such as a FRU failure. The LED remains illuminated as long as an event is active. The LED extinguishes when the Clear System Error Light function is selected from the Product Manager application. The LED blinks if unit beaconing is enabled. An illuminated ERR LED (indicating a failure) takes precedence over unit beaconing.

FRU Status LEDs

Amber and green LEDs associated with switch FRUs provide status information as follows:

• Port SFP — Amber and green LEDs to the left of the port, as shown in

Figure 1–2 illuminate, extinguish, or blink to indicate various port states

(operational with active Fibre Channel traf f ic, operat ional b ut not communicating, beaconing, blocked, failed, inactive, or running diagnostics).

Introduction

• Fan — An amber LED at the lower left corner of each fan, as shown in Figure 1–3

illuminates if the fan fails or rotates too slowly.

• Power Supply — A green LED at the upper left corner of each power supply, as

shown in Figure 1–3 illuminates if the power supply is operational and receiving AC power.

Maintenance Port

The rear panel provides a 9-pin RS-232 maintenance port, as shown in Figure 1–3 that provides a connection for a local terminal or dial-in connection for a remote terminal. Although the port is typically used by authorized maintenance personnel, operations personnel can use the port to configure switch network addresses.

Software Diagnostic Features

The switch provides the following diagnostic software features that aid in fault isolation and repair of problems:

edge switch 2/32 installation guide 1–9

Introduction

• FRUs provide on-board diagnostic and monitoring circuits that continuously report FRU status to the HAFM and Product Man ager applications. These applications provide system alerts and logs that display failure and diagnostic information at the HAFM server or a remote workstation communicating with the HAFM server.

• The HAFM Services application that runs as a Windows 2000 service and provides an additional user interface to display operational status.

• The Embedded Web Server interface that provides Internet access to isolate problems for a single switch.

• Unsolicited SNMP trap messages that indicate operational state changes or failures can be transmitted to up to 12 authorized management workstations.

• E-mail messages or call-home reports provide automatic notif ication of significant system events to designated support personnel or administrators.

HAFM Server Description

The HAFM server, as shown in Figure 1–4 is a notebook personal computer (PC) that provides a central point of control for up to 48 LAN-connected directors or Edge Switches.

Figure 1–4: HAFM server

The server is mounted in a slide-out drawer in the HP-supplied equipment rack. The HAFM server or Ethernet access to the Embedded Web Server (EWS) interface is required to install, configure, and manage the Edge Switch 2/32.

1–10 edge switch 2/32 installation guide

Although a configured switch operates normally without HAFM server intervention, an attached server should operate at all times to monitor switch operation, log events and configuration changes, and report failures.

The HAFM server provides an auto-detecting 10/100 Mbps LAN connection, provided by an internal Ethernet adapter card. This LAN port attaches to the customer’s public intranet to allo w access from remote user workstations. An optional Ethernet adapter card (not supplied by HP) can be installed in the personal computer memory card international association (PCMCIA) slot to provide a connection to a private LAN segment for dedicated director communication.

Ethernet Hub

The HAFM server and managed directors connect through a rack-mounted 10/100 Base-T Ethernet hub. Figure 1–5 illustrates the optional 12-port hub.
