Product Manager Overview

This chapter is an introduction and overview of the hp StorageWorks edge switch 2/16 Product Manager application. It is intended as a quick reference for using features available through the main Product Manager window.

Managing the StorageWorks Edge Switch 2/16

Three options are available for managing the switch through a user interface:

• The Product Manager application installed on an HAFM server. Access to the Product Manager must be through the hp StorageWorks ha-fabric manager (HAFM) application. These applications are installed on the HAFM server.

• The Embedded Web Server (EWS) 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 web server interface, enter the switch’s 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 checking is done for pre-existing conditions and no prompts display to guide users through tasks. Refer to the hp StorageWorks CLI reference guide for director 2/64, edge switch 2/16, and edge switch 2/32 (A6534-96027/AA-RQ7AB-TE).

edge switch 2/16 product manager user guide 1–1

Product Manager Overview

• Management using simple network management protocol (SNMP). An SNMP agent is implemented through the SDCM application that allows administrators on SNMP management workstations to access switch management information using any standard network management tool. Administrators can assign internet protocol (IP) addresses and corresponding community names for up to six SNMP workstations functioning as SNMP trap message recipients.

This manual provides details on the Product Manager application for the edge switch 2/16 only. This manual does not cover the Embedded Web Server Interface.

Management Menu Options

This user’s guide provides information on the edge switch 2/16 Product Manager application only. Information on the HAFM application is provided in the hp StorageWorks ha-fabric manager user guide (A6534-96024/AA-RS2CA-TE). Following are lists of options available under menus in all applications. References are provided to the correct publication for detailed information on these options.

HAFM

Following are options available through the HAFM. For more information, refer to Chapter 3 of the hp StorageWorks ha-fabric manager user guide (A6534-96024/AA-RS2CA-TE).

Product Manager Description

The Product Manager for the switch is a Java-based graphical user interfaces (GUI) that provides in-depth management, configuration, and monitoring functions for individual switches and their field-replaceable units (FRUs). Although the Product Manager is accessed from the HAFM application, it is a separate application.

In contrast to the Product Manager, the HAFM enables administrators to monitor operational status for all products and Fibre Channel fabrics managed by an HAFM server. The HAFM also provides tools to administer user and product access to the HAFM and Product Manager. Refer to the hp StorageWorks ha-fabric manager user

guide (A6534-96024/AA-RS2CA-TE)

Product Manager Overview

The Product Manager provides graphical views of switch hardware components and displays of component status. By positioning the cursor on icons, graphics, panels, and other visual elements in these views and clicking the left or right mouse button, you can quickly manage and monitor the switch on your network.

Access the switch Product Manager by double-clicking any switch product icon on the HAFM’s Products View or the Top olo gy tab of the Fabrics View.

You can install the HAFM and Product Manager applications on remote workstations, as shown in Figure 1–1, using any standard web browser. For instructions, refer to the appendix in the hp StorageWorks ha-fabric manager user guide (A6534-96024/AA-RS2CA-TE) that pertains to the operating system of your workstation.

Using the Product Manager

This section provides a general overview of the Product Manager and its functions. For details on performing specific tasks and using specific dialog boxes, refer to the appropriate chapters in this manual.

Keyboard Navigation

Use standard keyboard navigation in dialog boxes. For example, use the Tab , arrow, and backspace keys to move through dialog box fields and the Enter key to perform default button functions.

Using Dialog Boxes

Buttons such as OK, Activate and Close or Cancel initiate functions in a dialog box. There is a difference between the OK and Activate buttons. The OK button saves the data you entered and closes the dialog box. The Activate button saves the data you entered without closing the dialog box, unless there is a Close button in which case, Activate saves the information without closing the box. There is also a difference between the Close and Cancel buttons. The Close button closes the dialog box and saves the data you entered. The Cancel button cancels the operation and closes the dialog box without saving the information you entered.

Page 47

Product Manager Overview

NOTE: Note that the HAFM’s system administrator only has view rights while operating in a specific Product Manager application. Conversely, a Product Manager’s product administrator only has view rights while operating in the HAFM application.

Detailed instructions concerning the assignment of user rights for both the HAFM and Product Manager applications appear in Chapter 3 of the hp StorageWorks ha-fabric

manager user guide (A6534-96024/AA-RS2CA-TE)

There are five levels of access or “user rights” that can be assigned to specific users:

• System Administrator

• Product Administrator

•Operator

• Maintenance

•View

By default, all users have view rights, which allow viewing of but not the changing configurations. View rights cannot be removed.

The user(s) with system administrator rights can make all control and configuration changes implemented through the HAFM application.

User Rights for Specific Functions

Table 1–2 itemizes the specific functions available to Product Manager users that have

been assigned “user rights” of product administrator, operator, or maintenance. If a user does not have the right to perform a specific operation, a not authorized error box appears when the operation is attempted.

Backing Up and Restoring Product Manager Data

As long as a Zip® disk remains in the Zip drive of the HAFM server, critical information from both the Product Manager and HAFM applications automatically backs up to the Zip disk when the data directory contents change or when you reboot the HAFM server.

The application used for this function is Iomega® QuikSync, a separate application installed on the HAFM server. QuikSync is configured to automatically mirror the contents of the HafmData directory to the Zip drive when the contents are changed or when you reboot the HAFM server. This directory contains all HAFM and Product Manager data, so it can be copied back to a newly restored HAFM server to fully recover the preferred operating environment.

The mirroring operation will only occur while a user is logged in to Windows on the HAFM server PC (independent of the HAFM login).

The data contained in the HafmData directory and mirrored to the Zip disk includes the following:

• All HAFM configuration including: — Product definitions

edge switch 2/16 product manager user guide 1–35

Page 50

Product Manager Overview

— User names, encrypted passwords, and user rights —Nicknames — Session options — HAFM SNMP configurations — E-mail configuration

• All log files (both HAFM log files and individual Product Manager log files).

• Zoning library (all zone sets and zone definitions).

• Firmware library.

• Call-home configuration (including phone numbers and dialing options).

• Configuration data saved to the HafmData directory through the Backup & Restore Configuration option on the Product Manager’s Maintenance menu.

The QuikSync application will not backup certain Windows configurations that need to be reconfigured on a newly restored HAFM server, including the following:

• Windows user names and passwords.

• TCP/IP network configuration (such as IP address, gateway address, and DNS names).

The QuikSync application will be included on the HAFM Application CD. It automatically installs on the HAFM server during the HAFM server install process. A blank Zip disk is required for each HAFM server and is included with the HAFM server deliverables.

Restoring Data to the HAFM server

To restore data to the HAFM server, copy the:

Monitoring and Managing the Switch

This chapter describes how to use the features available in the Product Manager to monitor and manage switch operation. These features include status indicators, menu options, and dialog boxes available through the Hardware View, Port List View, FRU List View, Node List View, and Performance View.

Hardware View

The Hardware View is the default view when you open the Product Manager. If another view displays, you can display the Hardware View by selecting Hardware from view tabs on the Product Manager window. Using this graphical view of the switch, you can view status symbols and simulated light emitting diode (LED) indicators, display data, and use mouse functions to monitor status and obtain vital product information for the switch and its hardware components.

Identifying FRUs

Move the cursor over parts of the switch graphic in the Hardware View to display labels identifying each hardware component and its slot position in the chassis relative to identical components installed in the switch. Components include:

• Fan module. The hp StorageWorks edge switch 2/16 contains three dual-fan

modules (six fans total).

• Power supply module. Note that each AC connector on the rear of the unit is the

location of an internal power supply.

• Ports (small form factor LC transceivers).

Monitoring Switch Operation

Monitor the operating status of the switch using the switch Status table on the Hardware View and the status indicator on the status bar at the bottom of the Product

Manager window.

edge switch 2/16 product manager user guide 2–1

Page 52

Monitoring and Managing the Switch

Switch Status Table

The Status table at the top of the Hardware View displays the switch’s operational status, operational state, name, description, and location.

Status

Refer to Table 2–1 on page 2-38 for the meaning of the text that displays in the switch Status table and the corresponding status symbols that display on the status bar.

State

The Status field displays one of the following:

• OFFLINE

When the switch is “OFFLINE,” all ports are offline. The ports cannot accept a login from an attached device or cannot connect to other switches. You can configure this state through the Set Online State dialog box. Refer to Set Online

State on page 5-4 for instructions.

• Online

All unblocked ports are able to connect with devices. You can configure this state through the Set Online State dialog box. Refer to Set Online State on page 5-4 for instructions. Note that the switch automatically goes online after a power-up, an initial machine load (IML), or initial program load (IPL).

• Coming online

This is a transitional state that occurs just before the switch goes online. This state normally only happens briefly, unless there is a problem reaching the online state.

• Going offline

This is a transitional state that occurs just before the switch goes offline. This state normally only happens briefly, unless there is a problem reaching the offline state.

No Link Status

If the Ethernet network connection between the HAFM server and the switch is down, the Hardware View displays the front and rear of the unit without FRUs. The switch Status table at the top of the Hardware View changes to display the status (No Link) and reason with a yellow background. The name, description, and location fields are blank.

2–2 edge switch 2/16 product manager user guide

Page 53

Monitoring and Managing the Switch

The Reason field on the switch Status table displays one of the following reasons when there are no links.

• Never Connected

A network connection was never established between the switch and the HAFM server or the CTP card has failed. Check the IP addresses, the Ethernet local area network (LAN) physical connection between the switch and HAFM server, and other network connection conditions.

Note that the CTP card is not a FRU. If it fails, the switch must be replaced.

•Link Timeout

The network connection that was established between the switch and HAFM server has been lost. Check the IP addresses, the Ethernet LAN physical connection between the switch and HAFM server, IP addresses, and other network components.

• Protocol Mismatch

The switch and the HAFM server are not at compatible software release levels. Update the HAFM software version.

• Duplicate Session

A link has previously been established between the switch and another instance of the HAFM server. Connect to the previously established HAFM server from the HAFM login screen.

• Unknown Network Address

The address defined for the switch in the HAFM could not be found in the domain name server (DNS). Either the name was mistyped when the switch was added to the HAFM, or the name was not available from the DNS. Check the network IP address for the switch definition in the HAFM by right-clicking the product icon and selecting Properties. The IP address displays in the Network Address field.

• Incorrect Product Type

The product at the configured network address is not a switch. Verify address, configuration, and product type.

Monitoring and Managing the Switch

Status Bar Status Indicator

The status bar displays a colored status symbol that indicates the overall operating status of the switch unit. The operating status depends on hardware component failures, which are indicated by status symbols that display over component graphics in the Hardware View. Refer to Hardware View on page 2-1 for the meanings of status symbols in the status bar.

The status bar indicates the switch operating status based on component failures. For example, for a single port failure, a blinking red and yellow diamond displays on the port connector in the Hardware View. At the same time, a yellow triangle displays in the status bar to indicate a degraded switch. However, if a blinking red and yellow diamond displays over both power supplies, the status bar displays a red and yellow diamond, indicating a failure that requires immediate attention.

Monitoring Hardware Operation

Determine hardware component operating status and states by the simulated light emitting diode (LED) indicators and status symbols, such as flashing red and yellow diamonds and yellow triangles, that appear on hardware components. These simulated LEDs and status symbols reflect the state of the actual hardware as changes occur. Corresponding or additional descriptions of hardware status and states also display when you double-click components to display Properties dialog boxes.

Figure 2–1 illustrates the Hardware View for the edge switch 2/16. The figure includes

examples of symbols and LED indicators that display to help you monitor hardware operation. Numbers by the example are keyed to descriptions under on page 2-5 and

Rear View on page 2-7.

Monitoring and Managing the Switch

2. Port LED Indicator: A green and amber indicator to the left of each port connector simulates LED operation on the actual switch port. When the green indicator illuminates, the port is online and operational. When the amber indicator illuminates steady, the port has failed. For details on port LED indicator operation, see Table 2–1 on page 2-38.

3. Port Failure Indicator: A blinking red and yellow diamond ( ) below a port connector indicates that the port has failed. Refer to Table 2–1 on page 2-38 for details on port operating states and the status symbol and indicator operation.

4. Beaconing or Diagnostic Test: When a blinking amber LED indicator displays by a port and an attention indicator ( ) displays below the port's connector, either diagnostic tests are running on the port or beaconing is enabled. Refer to

Table 2–1 on page 2-38 for details on port operating states and the status symbol

and indicator operation.

5. Not Installed. The port optics are not installed, or the feature that provides additional port function is not enabled.

6. Power, System Error, and Unit Beaconing Indicators: The green and amber indicators on the far right of the front view simulates the power and system error LEDs on the actual switch.

• Power Indicator. The green indicator (PWR) simulates the power LED on the

actual switch. When the indicator illuminates, the switch is connected to facility AC power and is operational. The indicator will be on if either power supply is operating.

• System Error Indicator. The amber system error light indicator (ERR)

simulates the system error light on the actual switch. When this indicator illuminates, an event has occurred requiring immediate attention, such as a system, fan, power supply, or port failure. View details of system errors by selecting Event Log from the Logs menu on the Product Manager menu bar. The indicator in the Hardware View and the LED on the actual unit remains illuminated until you clear the event by right-clicking on the front or rear view away from a hardware component and selecting Clear System Error Light from the menu.

• Unit Beaconing Indicator. The amber indicator blinks if unit beaconing is

enabled. Enable and disable unit beaconing by right-clicking on the front or rear view away from a hardware component and selecting Enable Unit Beaconing from the menu.

internal power supply. A simulated green LED indicator is located in the upper left corner of each AC power connector. The indicator illuminates if the power supply is working and receiving AC power.

When a red and yellow diamond ( ) displays on a power connector, like in

Figure 2–1 on page 2-5, the internal power supply for that connector failed. In this

case, the green indicator to the top left of the connector will not illuminate. When the green indicator is on and no status symbol displays, the power supply is operational. Note that the switch operates with one power supply failure, however replace the power supply as soon as possible to retain redundancy.

2/16. One module cools one power supply, one module cools the other power supply, and one module cools the CTP card.

When the LED indicator on a fan module illuminates, as shown in the previous illustration, and a red diamond ( ) appears over a module, the fan has failed or is rotating insufficiently. Note that the switch continues to operate with one fan failure. If two or more fans fail, replace them as soon as possible to avoid switch damage.

Clear Link Incident Alert(s)

Click this to clear the attention indicator on the Hardware View, the Port List View, and the Performance View. In addition, the procedure clears the alert description in Port Properties dialog boxes. If there are no link incident alerts set for a port, no actions occur. Although you can manually clear link incidents, they may also be cleared by actions outside of the user interface, such as when rebooting the HAFM server.

Reset Port

Click to display a confirmation dialog box. Click Yes on that dialog box to reset the port. If a switch is attached to the port and online, this operation sends a link reset to the attached switch, otherwise this action disables port beaconing for the port. If the port is in a failed state, such as after failing a loopback test, the reset restores the port to an operational state, clearing the service required (amber) LED. The reset does not affect other ports in the switch.

Port Binding

Click to display the Bind WWN dialog box (Figure 2–9). Use this dialog box to allow a device with a specific WWN or nickname to have exclusive connection to a port. To use this dialog box, refer to the following paragraphs.

Figure 2–9: Bind WWN dialog box

Bind WWN dialog box parameters:

• Port Binding: Click this check box to place check mark in the box and enable

WWN binding for the port. When enabled, only a specific device can communicate through the port. This device is specified by the WWN or nickname entered into the Bound WWN field (either the Attached WWN or WWN options). With the check box cleared, any device can communicate through the port even if a WWN or nickname is specified in the Bound WWN field.

Monitoring and Managing the Switch

• Attached WWN: Click the radio button and, if a device is logged into the port, the device's WWN will display in the field. The device with this WWN or nickname will have exclusive communication privileges to the port if Port Binding is enabled.

NOTE: If you click this radio button to bind the port to a logged-in device and there are no devices logged in, the port is essentially bound to a WWN of “0.” This prevents any device from logging in until this button is re-enabled to bind the WWN of a logged-in device or until you explicitly bind the WWN of a device by clicking the detached WWN radio button and entering a WWN or nickname (see the following). Changes only take effect when you click the Activate button.

• Detached WWN: Click the radio button and enter a world wide name (WWN) in the proper format (xx.xx.xx.xx.xx.xx.xx.xx) or a nickname configured through the Product or HAFM applications. The device with this WWN or nickname will have exclusive communication privileges through the port if Port Binding is enabled.

Note the following: — If you do not enter valid WWN or nickname in this field, but the Port Binding

check box is checked (enabled), then no devices can communicate over the port.

— If you enter a WWN or nickname in this field and do not place a check in the

Port Binding checkbox, the WWN or nickname will be stored, and all devices can communicate over the port.

• Activate: Click this button to activate settings in this dialog box.

Warning and error message display:

• If one or more of the nodes logged into a port does not match the WWN or nickname configured in the field by the WWN radio button, a warning dialog box displays after you activate the configuration. This warning box displays a list of all nodes that will be logged off if you continue. If you click Continue on the warning box, these nodes will be logged off and the port will only attach to the device with the device with the WWN or nickname configured in the WWN field.

• An error message displays after you activate the configuration if the format for the WWN entered in the WWN field is not valid (not in xx.xx.xx.xx.xx.xx.xx.xx format) or if you have entered a nickname that was not configured through the Product Manager.

Bar Graph Display

The Performance View provides a graphical display of performance for all ports. Each bar graph in the upper portion of the view panel displays the percentage of link utilization for the port. This information updates every five seconds. A red arrow marks the highest utilization since the opening of the Performance View. If the system detects activity on a port, it represents minimal activity with one bar.

When a port is logged in, moving the cursor over its bar graph displays a message with the attached port’s WWN. If the port is an E_Port, the message reads, “E_Port” and if the port is not logged in, the message displays the port’s current operational state (refer to Table 2–1 on page 2-38).

Port Statistics

To select and display more detailed performance information for a port, click the port’s bar graph. The bar graph for that port highlights with a darker background and the lower portion of the Performance View view panel displays the statistics values for the port’s number and the WWN decoding. The Statistics Values tables contain cumulative port statistics and error statistics. For a description of the Refresh and Clear buttons, refer to Button Functions on page 2-37.

Statistics Description

The Statistics Values tables contain statistics in the following groups. To refresh tables with the latest data, click the Refresh button on the upper right portion of the Statistics

Va l ue s panel or click the port’s bar graph. Clear all counters for all users using the Clear button.

Traffic Statistics with Receive and Transmit Values

This section describes the types of statistics that display when you click a port’s bar graph:

• Link Utilization%

There is a separate value for transmit and receive link utilization. The larger of these two values displays on the bar graph.

The current link utilization for the port is expressed as a percentage. Each port can transmit or receive data at 200 Megabytes (MB) per second.This statistic shows the percentage of the maximum link utilization currently being used. Link utilization is calculated over one-second intervals. The maximum link utilization is 100%.

Monitoring and Managing the Switch

•Frames

The number of frames that the port has received or transmitted.

• Four Byte Words

The number of words that the port has received or transmitted.

• Offline Sequences

The number of offline sequence that the port has received or transmitted.

• Link Resets

The number of link reset protocol frames received/transmitted by this port from/to the attached switch. The switch transmits a link reset to initiate the link reset protocol or recover from a link timeout. This occurs normally to establish BB_Credit or on any port in order to recover lost BB_Credit. The switch receives a link reset from an attached device if the device wishes to initiate the link reset or recover from a link timeout.

There are not thresholds for these values. You may determine that a problem exists by the rate that the value changes. BB_Credit starvation can occur if data is sent to a device faster than it can consume the frames. This can backup into ISLs causing degraded performance.

edge switch 2/16 product manager user guide 2–33

Monitoring and Managing the Switch

Class 2 Statistics

The Class 2 Statistics table includes:

• Received Frames

The number of Class 2 frames received by this F_Port from its attached N_Port.

• Transmitted Frames The number of Class 2 frames transmitted by this F-Port to its attached N_Port.

• Busied Frames The number of F_BSY frames generated by this F_Port against Class 2 frames.

This can occur if frames are received before the switch completes initialization or if the switch is servicing so many requests that it can not process a new request. The port generates frames if the switch is not ready to accept commands. This may indicate temporary congestion.

• Rejected Frames The number of F_RJT frames generated by this F_Port against Class 2 frames. These frames usually occur because of attached device errors. The device is

expected to correct the error based on the reject code, then retry its request. If the device is able to recover, there is no cause for concern. If not, further troubleshooting may be necessary. There are no thresholds for this value. Typically, this occurs because the destination is not available due to the device’s action.

• Four Byte Words Received The number of four-byte words received.

• Four Byte Words Transmitted The number of four-byte words transmitted.

Class 3 Statistics

The Class 3 Statistics table includes:

• Received Frames The number of Class 3 frames received by this F_Port from its attached N_Port.

• Transmitted Frames The number of Class 3 frames transmitted by this F-Port to its attached N_Port.

2–34 edge switch 2/16 product manager user guide

Page 85

Monitoring and Managing the Switch

• Discarded Frames

The number of Class 3 frames discarded, including multicast frames with bad D_IDs.

The switch increments this count when it discards a frame that cannot be routed. This occurs most frequently when a destination becomes unavailable without the source realizing the destination is unavailable. There are no thresholds for this value. Typically, this occurs when the destination is not available due to the destination device’s action.

• Four Byte Words Received

The number of four-byte words received.

• Four Byte Words Transmitted

The number of four-byte words transmitted.

Error Statistics

Port errors indicate that a port is not operating correctly. Use this data to isolate problems with port and link operations. The statistics in this table include:

• Link failures

A link failure was recorded in response to a not operational sequence (NOS), protocol timeout, or port failure. At the Hardware View, a yellow triangle appears to indicate a link incident, or a blinking red and yellow diamond appears to indicate a port failure.

• Sync losses

A loss of synchronization was detected because the attached device was reset or disconnected from the port. At the Hardware View, a yellow triangle appears to indicate a link incident.

• Signal losses

A loss of signal was detected because the attached device was reset or disconnected from the port. At the Hardware View, a yellow triangle appears to indicate a link incident.

• Primitive sequence errors

edge switch 2/16 product manager user guide 2–35

Page 86

Monitoring and Managing the Switch

An incorrect primitive sequence was received from the attached device, indicating a Fibre Channel link-level protocol violation. At the Hardware View, a yellow triangle appears to indicate a link incident.

• Discarded frames A received frame could not be routed and was discarded because the frame timed

out (insufficient buffer-to-buffer credit) or the destination device was not logged into the switch.

• Invalid transmission words The number of times that the switch detected invalid transmission words from the

attached device. This indicates that a frame or primitive sequence arrived at the switch’s port corrupted. This corruption can be due to the attached device performing a reset, plugging or unplugging the link, bad optics at either end of the cable, bad cable, or a dirty or poor connection. Moving the connection around or replacing cables can isolate the problem.

Some number of invalid transmission words are expected and acceptable. Invalid transmission words within a frame are used to produce the bit-error threshold link incident. If one or more invalid transmission words are detected in 12 separate

1.5-second samples within five minutes, a bit-error threshold link incident is generated.

• CRC errors A received frame failed a cyclic redundancy check (CRC) validation, indicating

the frame arrived at the switch’s port corrupted. Frame corruption may be caused by device disconnection, an optical transceiver failure at the device, a bad fiber-optic cable, or a poor cable connection.

• Delimiter errors The number of times that the switch detected an unrecognized start-of-frame

(SOF), an unrecognized end-of-frame (EOF) delimiter, or an invalid class of service. This indicates that the frame arrived at the switch’s port corrupted. This corruption can be due to plugging/unplugging the link, bad optics at either end of the cable, bad cable, or dirty or poor connections. Moving the connection around or replacing cables can isolate the problem.

• Address ID errors A received frame had an unavailable or invalid Fibre Channel destination address,

or an invalid Fibre Channel source address. This typically indicates the destination device is unavailable.

• Frames too short

2–36 edge switch 2/16 product manager user guide

Page 87

A received frame exceeded the Fibre Channel frame maximum size or was less than the Fibre Channel minimum size, indicating the frame arrived at the switch’s port corrupted. Frame corruption may be caused by device disconnection, an optical transceiver failure at the device, a bad fiber-optic cable, or a poor cable connection.

Troubleshooting Tips

As a general rule, you should clear all counts after the system is stabilized. When looking at the Performance View, roughly keep track of the time interval when errors accumulate to judge the presence and severity of a problem. Also, recognize that there is a link recovery hierarchy implemented in Fibre Channel to handle some level of “expected anomalies.” In general, only be concerned with error counts that increment very quickly.

Button Functions

The two buttons located at the right end of the title bar on the Statistics Values table are:

Link Incident Alerts

A link incident is a problem detected on a fiber optic link, like the loss of light, invalid sequences, and other problems. When a problem occurs, a LIN alert is sent to the Link Incident Log in the switch Product Manager. LIN alerts warn you that there is a link incident being detected through a port connection that may require operator intervention to correct.

If LIN alerts are enabled for a port in the Configure Ports dialog box, a yellow triangle (attention indicator) displays by the port connector in the Hardware View or in the Alert column in the Port List View. A corresponding triangle displays for the card on the Hardware View. Double-clicking the port with the yellow triangle displays the Port Properties dialog box.

If LIN alerts have been enabled for a port in the Configure Ports dialog box, the Port

Properties dialog box contains a short description of the latest incident in the Link Incident field. Or, if there are no active incidents, “None” displays. The system writes

all link incidents to the Link Incident Log. If you enable LIN alerts for a port in the Configure Ports dialog box, configure e-mail

notification through the HAFM, and enable E-Mail Notification through the Maintenance menu, you will receive e-mail notification of LIN alerts.

2–40 edge switch 2/16 product manager user guide

Page 91

NOTE: The e-mail notification of LIN alerts is available to all users; no user rights are imposed.

Although you can clear the attention indicator in the Hardware View and the alert description in the Port Properties dialog box manually, they may also be cleared by actions outside of your control; such as on HAFM server reboot.

You can clear the link incident indicator in the Hardware View and the description in the Link Incident field manually. To manually clear the attention indicator (yellow triangle), right-click the port with the yellow triangle and select Clear Link Incident Alert(s) from the menu. In the Clear Link Incident Alert(s) dialog box, select the appropriate option and click OK.

Be aware that clearing the incident indicator clears it for everyone using the system. If there are no link incident alerts enabled for a port, no actions occur.

Threshold Alerts

A threshold alert notifies Product Manager users when the transmit (Tx) or receive (Rx) throughput reaches specific values for switch ports or port types (E_Ports or F_Ports).

Monitoring and Managing the Switch

Select the Threshold Alerts option on the Configure menu to display the Configure Threshold Alerts dialog box. Use this dialog box to configure criteria for generating a

threshold alert. One criteria that you must configure is a throughput value that equals a specific percentage of the port’s total throughput capacity. You also provide a time interval during which throughput is measured and a time interval during which that throughput value must remain constant. When throughput reaches the threshold value and remains constant for the specified time, an alert is generated.

Threshold alerts occur as the following in the Product Manager:

Configure Operating Mode

Use the procedure in this section to change the switch’s operating mode.

Introduction

If the FICON Management Server feature is enabled, the default mode will be set to S/390. The operating mode cannot be changed to open systems with the FICON Management Server feature enabled. If the Open Systems Management Server feature is enabled, the operating mode can be set to either open systems or S/390 mode.

Typically, S/390 mode is used when attaching an IBM S/390 Parallel Enterprise server to the switch and implementing inband switch management through a Fibre Connection (FICON) channel.

Use Open Systems mode for all other (non-FICON) Fibre channel environments.

switches and directors that are also operating in Homogeneous Fabric mode.

4. Click Activate to save your changes and to close the dialog box.

5. Set the switch online: a. Select Set Online State from the Maintenance menu on the menu bar. b. When the Set Online State dialog box displays, click Set Online to set the

switch online.

Configure Operating Parameters

Use the procedures in this section to configure the following Fibre Channel operating parameters using the Configure Operating Parameters dialog box.

NOTE: Ordinarily, you do not need to change these values from their defaults. The only exception is the Preferred Domain ID. Change this value if the switch will participate in a multiswitch fabric.

• BB_Credit Configure the switch to support buffer to buffer credit (BB_Credit) from 1

through 60. This is the value used for all ports, except those configured for extended distance buffering (10-100 km). The default value is 16. For a description of the buffer-to-buffer credit, refer to industry specification, Fibre Channel Physical and Signaling Interface.

•R_A_TOV

Configure resource allocation time-out value (R_A_TOV) in tenth-of-a-second increments. This variable works with the error detect time-out value (E_D_TOV) variable to control the switch’s behavior when an error condition occurs. Resources are allocated to a circuit when errors are detected and are not released for reuse until the time set by the R_A_TOV value expires. The default value is 100 tenths (10 seconds). Set a value between 10 tenths and 1200 tenths (1 through 120 seconds).

NOTE: Set the same value for R_A_TOV on all switches on a multiswitch fabric. If the value is not the same on all units, the fabric segments. Also, the value for R_A_TOV must be greater than the value configured for E_D_TOV.

•E_D_TOV

3–4 edge switch 2/16 product manager user guide

Page 97

Configuring the Switch

Adjust the E_D_TOV in one-tenth-second increments. An error condition occurs when an expected response is not received within the time limit set by this value. The default value is 20 tenths (2 seconds). Set a value between 2 tenths through 600 tenths (.2 through 60 seconds).

NOTE: Set the same value for E_D_TOV on all switches on a multiswitch fabric. If the value is not the same, the fabric segments.

•Preferred Domain ID

Use this field to set each switch in the fabric to a unique preferred domain ID. Fibre Channel addresses in the switch include this preferred domain ID, which creates a unique identification for the port in the fabric. The default value is 1. Set a preferred value from 1 through 31.

The preferred domain ID must be unique for each switch in a fabric. If two switches have the same preferred domain ID, the E_Ports segment, causing the fabric to segment.

NOTE: For more information on the domain ID, refer to the section on domain ID assignment for multiswitch fabrics in the

guide for director 2/64, edge switch 2/16, and edge switch 2/32 (A6534-96025/AA-RS2DA-TE).

• Switch Priority

Setting this value determines the principal switch for the multiswitch fabric. Select either Principal (highest priority), Default, or Never Principal (lowest priority) from the Switch Priority drop-down list.

If all switches are set to Principal or Default, the switch with the highest priority and the lowest WWN becomes the principal switch. Following are some examples of principal switch selection when switches have these settings.

• If you have three switches and set all to Default, the switch with the lowest WWN become the principal switch.

• If you have three switches and set two to Principal and one to Default, the switch with the Principal setting that has the lowest WWN becomes the principal switch.

• If you have three switches and set two to Default and one to Never Principal, the switch with the Default setting and the lowest WWN becomes the principal switch.

Note that at least one switch in a multiswitch fabric needs to be set as Principal or Default. If all of the switches are set to Never Principal, all of the interswitch links (ISLs) will segment. If all but one switch is set to Never Principal and the switch that was Principal goes offline, then all of the other ISLs will segment.

edge switch 2/16 product manager user guide 3–5

Page 98

Configuring the Switch

NOTE: We recommend configuring switch priority as Default. If you are considering changing this value to something other than the default, refer to sections on principal switch selection for multiswitch fabrics in the hp StorageWorks product in a SAN environment: planning guide for director 2/64, edge switch 2/16, and edge switch 2/32 (A6534-96025/AA-RS2DA-TE) for details.

In the audit log you may notice that the Principal setting maps to a number code of 1, Default maps to a number code of 254, and Never Principal maps to a number code of 255. The number codes 2-253 are no longer in use.

•Rerouting Delay

Placing a check mark in the check box to the left of the Rerouting Delay option enables rerouting delay. This option is only applicable if the configured switch is in a multiswitch fabric.

Enabling the rerouting delay ensures that frames are delivered in order through the fabric to their destination. If there is a change to the fabric topology that creates a new path (for example, a new switch is added to the fabric), frames may be routed over this new path if its hop count is less than a previous path with a minimum hop count. This may result in frames being delivered to a destination out of order since frames sent over the new, shorter path may arrive ahead of older frames still in route over the older path.

If rerouting delay is enabled, traffic ceases in the fabric for the time specified in the E_D_TOV field of the dialog box. This delay allows frames sent on the old path to exit to their destination before new frames begin traversing the new path.

The operating parameters are stored in NV-RAM on the switch.

Procedure

To configure Fibre Channel operating parameters for the switch, use the following steps:

1. Configure the switch offline.

NOTE: Setting the switch offline terminates all Fibre Channel connections.

Configure Ports

Use the procedures in this section to configure names, blocked and unblocked state, 10-100 km extended distance buffering, enable or disable link incident (LIN) alerts for ports, port type, port speed, Port binding, and WWN binding name.

Port configuration data is stored in NV-RAM on the switch. Configure data in the following columns of the Configure Ports dialog box:

•Port # You cannot edit this field. This column identifies the port number. The port

numbers range from 0 through 15.

• Name (open systems mode only) Enter a name for the port. The port names display in the Port Properties dialog

box and elsewhere in the Product Manager to identify the port.

NOTE: To identify port numbers for which you want to provide names, place the cursor over the ports in the Hardware View. As you move over a port, a label displays that identifies the slot number where the port is installed.

To name ports in S/390 mode, use the Configure Addresses dialog box.

• Blocked (opens systems mode only) Placing a check mark in the check boxes of this column blocks the operation of

the port. To block ports in S/390 mode, use the Configure Addresses dialog box.

• 10-100Km This column is for extended distance buffering. You can enable extended distance

for a port even if it is not an extended distance port. However, enabling extended distance buffering on a port disables the ability for the port to send broadcast traffic. When you select this option, the port can support up to 60 buffer-to-buffer credits (BB_Credits) to handle link distances up to 100 km. This enables the port to process 2K frames from attached devices. If this option is not enabled, the port uses the BB_Credit (1-60) configured through the Operating Parameters dialog box.

If a device is connected and logged in to the fabric when extended distance is enabled or disabled on the corresponding port, the switch will send OLS for 5 milliseconds to force the device to log in again and obtain the new BB_Credit value set for the port.
