About

Popup menus

Popup menus appear when you right-click the switch faceplate or backplate images in the graphic window. Popup menu options give you quick access to the common tasks and dialog boxes, such as:

• Refreshing a switch

• Selecting all ports

• Properties dialog boxes (Port, Switch, Network, and SNMP)

• Services dialog box

• Port diagnostics dialog boxes

Shortcut keys

Shortcut key combinations provide an alternative method of accessing menu options in the web applet. For example, to open the Preferences dialog box, press Alt+F, and then press R.

NOTE: The shortcut key combinations are not case-sensitive. Shortcut keys are not supported on the Mac

platform.

Selecting switches

To select a switch, you can either select the switch name or switch icon from the fabric tree to display its faceplate display in the graphic window. See ”Managing switches” on page 51 for detailed switch information.

Selecting ports

Ports are selectable and serve as access points for other displays and menus. You select ports to display information about them in the data window or to modify them. Context-sensitive popup menus appear when you right-click the faceplate image or on a port icon. See ”Managing ports” on page 93 for detailed port information.

Selected ports in the faceplate display are outlined in white. You can select ports in the following ways:

• To select a port, click the port.

• To select all ports, right-click on the faceplate image, and select Select All Ports from the popup menu.

• To select a range of consecutive ports, click a port, press and hold down the Shift key, and then click

the last port in the desired range. The web applet selects both end ports and all ports in between the end ports.

NOTE: When using the Shift key to select a range of ports, the first port you click in the range is the

anchor selection. Subsequent ranges are based on this anchor selection. For example, when you click port 4 and port 9 respectively, port 4 becomes the anchor selection. The next range will include all ports between port 4 and the next port you select.

• To select several non-consecutive ports, press and hold down the Control key while clicking each port.

• To deselect ports in a group of selected ports, press and hold down the Control key while clicking each

port.

• To cancel a selection, press and hold down the Control key and select it again.

2 Managing fabrics

This section describes the following options for managing fabrics:

• ”Fabric services” on page 23

• ”Rediscovering a fabric” on page 23

• ”Adding a new switch to a fabric” on page 23

• ”Replacing a failed switch” on page 24

• ”Transparent Router” on page 24

• ”Event Browser” on page 31

• ”Device information and nicknames” on page 34

• ”Zoning” on page 37

Fabric services

Fabric services security includes SNMP and In-band management. SNMP is the protocol governing network management and monitoring of network devices. SNMP security consists of a read community string and a write community string, that are basically the passwords that control read and write access to the switch. The read community string (public) and write community string (private) are set at the factory to these well-known defaults and should be changed when SNMP is enabled using the System Services or SNMP Properties dialog boxes. If SNMP is enabled (default) and the read and write community strings have not been changed from their defaults, you risk unwanted access to the switch. See ”Enabling SNMP configuration” on page 23 for more information. SNMP is enabled by default.

In-band management is the ability to manage switches across inter-switch links using QuickTools, SNMP, management server, or the application programming interface. The switch comes from the factory with in-band management enabled. If you disable in-band management on a particular switch, you can no longer communicate with that switch by means other than a direct Ethernet or serial connection. See ”Enabling in-band management” on page 23 for more information.

Enabling SNMP configuration

To enable the SNMP configuration:

1. Select Switch > SNMP > SNMP Properties to open the SNMP Properties dialog box.

2. Select the SNMP Enabled option in the SNMP Configuration area.

3. Click OK to save the change to the database.

Enabling in-band management

To enable in-band management:

1. Select Switch > Switch Properties to open the Switch Properties dialog box.

2. Select the In-band Management Enable option.

3. Click OK to save the change to the database.

Rediscovering a fabric

After making changes to or deleting switches from a fabric view, it may be helpful to again view the actual fabric configuration. The Rediscover Fabric option clears out the current fabric information being displayed, and rediscovers all switch information.

To rediscover a fabric, select Fabric > Rediscover Fabric. The Rediscover function is more comprehensive than the Refresh function.

Adding a new switch to a fabric

If there are no special conditions to be configured for a new switch, plug in the switch; the switch becomes functional with the default fabric configuration. The default fabric configuration settings are:

HP StorageWorks SN6000 Fibre Channel Switch QuickTools Switch Management User Guide 23

• Fabric zoning is sent to the switch from the fabric.

• All 8 Gb/s ports will be GL_Ports.

• The default IP address 10.0.0.1 is assigned to the switch without configuring a gateway or boot

protocol (RARP, BOOTP, and DHCP).

If you are adding a new switch to a fabric and do not want to accept the default fabric configuration:

1. If the switch is not new from the factory, reset the switch to the factory configuration before adding the

switch to the fabric by selecting Restore Factory Defaults from the Switch menu.

2. If you want to manage the switch through the Ethernet port, configure the IP address using the Network

Properties dialog box or the Configuration Wizard.

3. Configure any special switch settings. To open the Zoning Config dialog box, select Zoning > Edit

Zoning Config.

4. Plug in the ISLs, but do not connect the devices.

5. Configure the port types for the new switch using the Port Properties dialog box.

6. Connect the devices to the switch.

7. To make any necessary zoning changes, select Zoning > Edit Zoning to open the Edit Zoning dialog

box.

Replacing a failed switch

The Restore menu option is not available for the switches being managed in-band through the fabric management switch. You can only restore a switch out-of-band via Ethernet connection to the fabric management switch. Certain parameters are not archived, and these are not restored by QuickTools. For more information, see ”Archiving a switch” on page 77 and ”Restoring a switch” on page 77.

Use the following procedure to replace a failed switch for which an archive is available.

1. Turn off the power to the failed switch and disconnect the AC cords. Note port locations and remove

the interconnection cables and small form-factor pluggable (SFPs).

2. Remove the failed switch.

3. Mount the replacement switch in the location where the failed switch was removed.

4. Install the SFPs using the same ports as were used on the failed switch. Do not reconnect inter-switch

links, target devices, and initiator devices at this time. Doing so could invalidate the fabric zoning configuration.

5. Attach the AC cords and power up the switch.

6. Restore the configuration from the failed switch to the replacement switch:

a. Open a new fabric through the replacement switch. b. Open the faceplate display for the replacement switch. Select Switch > Restore. c. In the Restore dialog box, enter the archive file from the failed switch or browse for the file. d. Click Restore.

7. Select Switch > Reset Switch to reset the replacement switch to activate the configuration formerly

possessed by the failed switch including the domain ID and the zoning database.

8. Reconnect the inter-switch links, target devices, and initiator devices to the replacement switch using the

same ports as were used on the failed switch.

Transparent Router

IMPORTANT: The SSCM application can manage HP SN6000 Fibre Channel Switches with active

TR_Ports; however, SSCM cannot manage or discover remote switches or devices in the remote fabric. Use QuickTools and the storage management interface to present LUNs to remote devices. SSCM displays the remote fabric as a grayed-out switch, and no management can be performed. SSCM version 3.0 or later is required for the HP SN6000 Fibre Channel Switch. SSCM version 2.0 and earlier versions do not support the management of fabrics that include switches with active TR_Ports and may disrupt communication between an HP SN6000 or 8/20q Fibre Channel Switch and the remote fabric.

24 Managing fabrics

The Transparent Router feature on the HP SN6000 Fibre Channel Switch provides inter-fabric routing to enable controlled and limited access between devices on an HP SN6000 Fibre Channel Switch (local) fabric and devices on a remote fabric of B-series or C-series switches.

The local fabric may consist of one or multiple HP SN6000 Fibre Channel Switches connected by their ISLs. A specific device attached to an HP SN6000 Fibre Channel Switch can be mapped with one or more devices in one remote fabric over only one TR_Port on that HP SN6000 Fibre Channel Switch. If a device attached to an HP SN6000 Fibre Channel Switch is mapped with multiple devices in the same remote fabric, the same TR_Port must be used.

A device attached to a remote fabric can be mapped with multiple devices in multiple local fabrics. If a device in a remote fabric is mapped with multiple devices in the local fabric attached to a given HP SN6000 Fibre Channel Switch, the same TR_Port on the HP SN6000 Fibre Channel Switch must be used for all mappings involving that remote device. However, the same remote device can be mapped with other local devices attached to a different HP SN6000 Fibre Channel Switch in the same local fabric over a TR port from that switch. A remote device can be mapped through more than one TR port, as long as each of those TR ports is on a different HP SN6000 Fibre Channel Switch.

Furthermore, you cannot map a local device to a remote device over an E_Port to another local switch and then over a TR_Port to the remote switch. The transparent route cannot include an E_Port on the local fabric.

Local devices will not discover remote devices until the corresponding inter-fabric zones are activated on both the local and remote fabrics. To remove a mapping, in addition to removing the local inter-fabric zone, you must also remove the corresponding remote inter-fabric zone.

NOTE: When a local device is mapped over a TR_Port to a remote device, the local device and its

TR_Port appear as an NPIV connected device in the remote fabric. It is possible, though not recommended, to map such a local device over a second TR_Port to a local device in a second local fabric. In this case, if you merge the two local fabrics, the transparent route becomes inactive for the devices that now have a path over an ISL, and an alarm is generated.

For details of switches supported in a remote fabric, see release notes for the HP SN6000 Fibre Channel Switch, and the HP StorageWorks SAN Design Reference Guide on the HP website

http://www.hp.com/go/sandesignguide. A user (admin rights required) can configure TR mappings to

connect devices on the local HP SN6000 Fibre Channel Switch fabric with devices on remote fabrics.

The transparent route between these devices is accomplished by connecting a remote switch to a TR_port on the HP SN6000 Fibre Channel Switch, mapping the devices together, and then creating and activating the IFZ (inter-fabric zones) in both fabrics. Each fabric will contain a matching IFZ. Each IFZ must contain exactly three WWN members: the local device, the remote device, and the TR_Port attached to the remote fabric.

NOTE: Be sure to configure the TR_Port before connecting the remote fabric to the HP SN6000 Fibre

Channel Switch. If the remote fabric is connected to a port on the HP SN6000 Fibre Channel Switch that is not a TR_Port, the two fabrics may establish an E_Port connection and the local and remote fabrics may merge. This mixed fabric is not a supported configuration. If the port type is changed to TR_Port after connecting the remote fabric, a port reset may be required to completely establish the TR connection.

A TR_Port is used as a bridge between the transparent router’s local fabric and a remote fabric. A TR_Port uses standard NPIV login methods to attach to the remote fabric. For remote B-series or C-series fabrics, the switch to which the TR_Port connects must support N-Port ID Virtualization (NPIV) and for B-series fabrics the interoperability mode must be configured to InteropMode=0. The TR_Port logs into the remote fabric using the WWN of the TR_Port. The TR_Port accesses fabric services of the remote fabric, such as Name Server and Management Server, and may receive registered state change notifications (RSCNs). The TR_Port uses FDISCs to login proxies for devices attached to an N_Port on the HP SN6000 Fibre Channel Switch. Any of the HP SN6000 Fibre Channel Switch 8Gb ports may be configured as a TR_Port.

HP StorageWorks SN6000 Fibre Channel Switch QuickTools Switch Management User Guide 25

IMPORTANT: Since C-series switches do not support the Unzoned Name Server, C-series fabrics

must be “pre-zoned” before you can set up TR mappings to a remote C-series fabric using the TR Mapping Manager dialog box. The C-series fabric zoneset must be changed to add zones so that the WWNs of the remote devices to be mapped and the WWNs of the HP SN6000 Fibre Channel Switch TR ports are zoned together. For more information, see the C-series documentation for specific information to configure zoning. Retain these zones in the zoneset after completion of the TR mapping as a best practice, until you no longer need to map the device to the local fabric.

TR Mapping Manager dialog

The TR Mapping Manager dialog (Figure 6) displays the currently mapped inter-fabric routes. You can create new inter-fabric routes, view detail information on existing inter-fabric routes, and remove existing inter-fabric routes. To open the TR Mapping Manager dialog, select Fabric > TR Mapping Manager.

NOTE: The Merge Auto Save option in the Config Zoning dialog must be selected before you can open

the TR Mapping Manager dialog. See ”Merge Auto Save” on page 43 for more information.

dialog, and click OK.

NOTE: After you click OK in the TR Mapping Manager dialog, the IFZs are created and saved to the

switch. If there is an active zone set with TR mappings, the old IFZs are deleted and replaced with the new IFZs, and then the active zone set is re-activated. If there is no active zone set, a zone set named TR_MAPPING_SET” (default name) is created, the new IFZs are added to the zone set, and then the zone set is activated. If there are no TR mappings, the old IFZs are deleted from the active zone set, and then the active zone set is re-activated. If there are no zones and no IFZs in the active set, the active zone set is deactivated.

Remote Fabric Zoning dialog

The Remote Fabric Zoning dialog (Figure 8) enables you to generate and save a text file containing the zoning commands required to be executed on the remote fabric so that the inter-fabric connection using a TR port is established. The user can choose the kind of remote fabric/switches to connect with the TR port so that QuickTools knows which zoning commands to generate for the user. Fabrics with B-series and C-series switches are supported.

NOTE: Before modifying zoning, HP recommends that you back up the configuration.

Figure 8 Remote Fabric Zoning dialog

To create a zoning commands text file for the remote fabric:

1. Open the faceplate display, and select Fabric > TR Mapping Manager.

2. Create a new TR mapping for a inter-fabric zone, if one does not exist. See ”Mapping a new

inter-fabric zone” on page 27 for more information.

3. In the TR Mapping Manager dialog (Figure 7), select an entry from the TR Mapping List window.

4. Select File > Generate Remote Zoning.

5. In the Remote Fabric Zoning dialog (Figure 8), if you made and saved changes in the TR Mapping

Manager dialog, you can choose the type of zoning commands to view in the Suggested Remote Fabric Zoning Commands window of the Remote Fabric Zoning dialog.

Choose one of the following options from Select Set of Zoning Commands to View:

• The Comprehensive Zoning Commands for Initial TR Setup option to show the list of zoning

commands to set up all the IFZs.

28 Managing fabrics

• The Zoning Commands Only for Changes to TR Mappings option to show the list of zoning commands only for changes you just made during this session (after opening the TR Mapping Manager dialog).

NOTE: The Remote Fabric Zoning dialog displays the Select Set of Zoning Commands to View option

only if you made and saved changes in the TR Mapping Manager dialog. If you opened the Remote

Fabric Zoning dialog after selecting File > Generate Remote Zoning, the Select Set of Zoning Commands to View option is not displayed, and the Suggested Remote Fabric Zoning Commands window displays the list of zoning commands to set up all the IFZs.

6. Choose one of the following options from the Remote Switch Type drop-down list to generate the

corresponding zoning commands:

• B-series—to connect remotely with B-series switches

• C-series—to connect remotely with C-series switches

7. Enter the Configuration Name, which is used as the zoneset name in the commands. This must be the

same zoneset name as the zoneset on the remote fabric to which this zoning will be applied, or else the commands generated can be saved and edited to change the zoneset name as needed. The default Configuration Name displayed is TRoutesCfg.

8. Select one of the following:

•Clear the New Configuration option if the remote fabric has an active zone set. Executing the updated zoning commands on the remote fabric automatically adds the changes to the already active zone set, provided that the Configuration Name entered is the same as the name of that active zoneset.

NOTE: If the commands are run and the Configuration Name is not the name of the active zoneset

in the remote fabric, the commands attempt to replace the active zoneset with a new zoneset with the new name, containing only the Inter Fabric Zones. This will not succeed unless you respond to CLI queries to accept activation of this new zoneset.

• Select the New Configuration option if the remote fabric does not have an active zone set. Executing the commands on the remote fabric automatically adds the commands (inter-fabric zones) to create and activate the zone set. The Configuration Name entered is the name of the active zoneset that is created.

9. Click Export and select a path name (TXT file extension only) in the Save dialog.

Selecting the same path name will overwrite the first path name.

10. Click Save to save the zoning commands text file on your workstation.

NOTE: The commands generated for C-series switches assume that zoning will be applied to

VSAN 1. If this is not the correct VSAN, you must edit the commands accordingly before executing the commands.

State The current TR mapping state (Active or Inactive)

• Active—Indicates that the mapping's TR port is on this switch, and both devices have logged in.

• Inactive—Indicates that the mapping's TR port is on this switch, and the mapping is not active. The reasons are shown in the details display as the three Status column entries (one for the overall mapping and one for each device in the mapping).

Device A The WWN of one of the two devices linked by the TR

mapping. Assigned nicknames are also displayed.

Device B The WWN of the other device linked by the TR mapping.

Assigned nicknames are also displayed.

Details Click (i) in the Details column to open the Transparent Route

dialog, which displays detailed information on the transparent route.

The Transparent Route dialog (Figure 10) displays detailed information about the transparent route you selected from the Transparent Routes data window. The state of the route (Active or Inactive) is shown, and Port WWN, TR Port WWN, and Status fields are displayed for both sides of the route. Device A will not
