of switches to be combined to form a single, logical ISL switch with a speed of up to 64 Gb/s
(128 Gb/s full duplex) for optimal bandwidth utilization and load balancing.
Provides DPS, which optimizes fabric-wide performance and load balancing by automatically
routing data to the most efficient available path in the fabric.
Provides universal ports that self-configure as E_Ports, F_Ports, M_Ports, or FL_Ports.

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

The port side of the 8/8 and 8/24 SAN Switch includes the system status LED, console port, Ethernet port, USB port, and FC ports with corresponding port 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 HP 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.
8-Gb SAN Switch Hardware Reference Guide 13
See Installing and activating Port Upgrade licenses, page 25.

Enabling E_Ports on the 8/8 SAN Switch

The 8/8 SAN Switch model requires that you purchase the HP 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 license appears under the licenseshow command as Full Fabric License and indicates that E_Ports are now enabled automatically.

8/40 SAN Switch features

Provides the EZSwitch Setup Wizard for easy setup and basic configuration.
Support for 1, 2, 4, and 8 Gb/s autosensing FC switch and router ports.
Integrates a single motherboard design with 667 MHz PowerPC 440EPx RISC CPU and integrated
peripherals which provide high performance.

license.
Provides two hot-swappable, redundant integrated power supply and fan FRUs.
Universal ports that self-configure as E_Ports, F_Ports, M_Ports, or FL_Ports. EX_Ports are activated
on a per-port basis with the optional HP B-series 48-80 Port SAN Switch Integrated Routing LTU. This license provides native FCR on a per-port basis, rather than limiting routing ports to those on
a dedicated routing blade or switch. Just like traditional FCR, IR uses EX_Ports to import and export devices between fabrics, enabling selective device sharing while maintaining remote fabric isolation.
Integrates a USB port that provides storage for firmware updates, output of the supportsave
command and storage for configuration uploads and downloads.

Ships FICON and FICON Cascading ready. FICON CUP is available, but requires an optional
license.
Provides two hot-swappable, redundant power supply FRUs.
Provides three hot-swappable fan FRUs in an N+1 configuration to provide hardware-redundant
cooling.
Provides universal ports that self-configure as E_Ports, F_Ports, M_Ports, or FL_Ports. EX_Ports are
activated on a per-port basis with the optional HP B-series 48-80 Port SAN Switch Integrated Routing LTU.

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 HP representative to purchase the appropriate Port Upgrade license. HP requires
the switch WWN obtained in Step 2 to assign a license key.
8-Gb SAN Switch Hardware Reference Guide 25
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.
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 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.

Installation and safety considerations

You can install the switch in a rack or as a standalone device on a flat surface. HP highly recommends mounting the switch in one of the following HP customized racks:
HP System/e Rack
HP 10000 G2 Series Rack and HP 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” on page 88, are met.
Installing and configuring an 8-Gb SAN Switch32

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 HP 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.
8-Gb SAN Switch Hardware Reference Guide 33
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.
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 HP-branded FC SFPs and CEE 10-GbE SFPs are required. FC SFP+ transceivers are required for 8-Gb/s performance; copper cables must be HP-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 contentson page 31 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 Switchon page 44.
Installing and configuring an 8-Gb SAN Switch34
CAUTION:
Do not connect the switch to the network until the IP address is set. See Setting the switch IP
address” on page 46.

Before you beginImportant 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:
8/8 SAN Switch
8/24 SAN Switch
See Installing the plenumon page 42 for instructions to install a 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 U 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, plan a rack space that is at least 2 U 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 HP SAN Switch Rack Mount Kit in your HP custom rack

The SAN Switch Rack Mount Kit enables you to install your HP device in the following HP custom racks:
HP System/e Rack
HP 10000 G2 Series rack and HP 10000 Series rack
For optimal cable management, HP recommends that you install the SAN Switch Rack Mount Kit to allow the nonport side of the switch to slide out of the cool-air side of the rack. In this installation, the port side of the switch is set 12.7 cm (5 inches) 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:
A SAN Switch
Power cables
A #2 Phillips screwdriver
A 7/16-inch wrench or socket

8-Gb SAN Switch Hardware Reference Guide 43

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.

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 HP 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:
Installing and configuring an 8-Gb SAN Switch44
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.

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.
Figure 24 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
.
8-Gb SAN Switch Hardware Reference Guide 45
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 second9600
Data bits8
Parity—None
Stop bits1
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.
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
Installing and configuring an 8-Gb SAN Switch46
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.
8-Gb SAN Switch Hardware Reference Guide 47
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.
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:
8-Gb SAN Switch Hardware Reference Guide 49
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.

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 Table 7 on page 50.
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.

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, HP 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.
For more information on using an NTP server, and IPv6 considerations, see the Fabric OS Administrator's Guide.
8-Gb SAN Switch Hardware Reference Guide 51
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 Table 8 on page 61.
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

HP 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.
Installing and configuring an 8-Gb SAN Switch52
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.

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

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 HP 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 HP Secure Key Manager information, see the
HP 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

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.
Managing the 8-Gb SAN Switches56

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 Port side LED activity for the
1606 Extension SAN Switch” on page 69).
2. Execute the portcfgpersistentenable command to activate the FC ports for FC operation.

Interpreting POST results

POST is a system check that is performed each time the switch is powered on, rebooted, or reset, and during which the LEDs flash different colors.
To determine if POST completed successfully and whether any errors were detected:
1. Verify that the LEDs on the switch indicate that all components are healthy. (LED patterns are
described in Table 8 on page 61 and Table 9 on page 63.) If one or more LEDs do not display a healthy state, do the following:
Power supply is not seated cor­rectly.

Verify that the power supply is seated correctly.
No action required.System is on and power sup-
Do the following:
Check the power cable connec-
tion.
Verify that the power supply is
powered on.
Use the psshow and fan-
show commands to determine
the source of the fault.
Replace the power supply FRU.
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 and
Table 9.
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.
8-Gb SAN Switch Hardware Reference Guide 73
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 HP-branded SFPs. For ordering information, see Supported
SFP transceiver options” on page 27.
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).
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.
Managing the 8-Gb SAN Switches74
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
and Diagnostics Guide
.

Observe the system status LED. If the system status LED is flashing amber and green, it could indicate
that the fan has failed. The green power supply/fan LED flashes in the event of failure. Check the management interface and the error log for details on the cause of status.
In Web Tools, check the Fan Status icon background color. It will be either yellow or red if the
fan has failed. When the fan is functioning correctly, the background color is green.
Enter the fanshow command at the command prompt to display fan status:
switch:admin> fanshow
Fan 1 is OK, speed is 7105 RPM
Fan 2 is OK, speed is 7258 RPM

Fan assembly

Two fan assemblies are hot-swappable, if replaced one at a time. They are identical and fit into any fan slot.
Fabric OS identifies the fan assemblies as follows (viewing the switch from the nonport side):
Fan assembly 2 is on the left.
Fan assembly 1 is on the right.
To determine whether a fan assembly should be replaced, do any of the following:
Check the system status LED (Figure 35). If the fan status LED is not on, verify that the fan is seated
correctly. If the light does not turn green, the fan assembly may need to be replaced.
In Web Tools, check the Fan Status icon background color. It will be either yellow or red if the
fan has failed. When the fan is functioning correctly, the background color is green.
Enter the fanshow command at the command prompt to display fan status as shown below:

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.

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. 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
8-Gb SAN Switch Hardware Reference Guide 93

Boot

Boot performs the following tasks after POST is complete:
Performs universal port configuration
Initializes links
