instructions

Installation and safety considerations

The 4Gb SAN Switch installs in the I/O bays in the rear of the HP c-Class BladeSystem
enclosure. Refer to the appropriate BladeSystem Enclosure Setup and Installation Guide
for specific

enclosure requirements.

Installing multiple switches

Install and confi gure one 4Gb SAN Switch at a time. This is required so that Ethernet IP
address conflicts do not occur with duplicate default Ethernet IP addresses.

IMPORTANT:

DHCP is enabled by default for switches running Fabric OS 5.2.1b (switch rev 0C) or later.
In cases where DHCP is available, IP address conflicts will not occur, simplifying multiple
switch installations. See Using External DHCP.

22 Setup

Each switch must be assigned a unique Ethernet IP address during configuration. Once
the default Ethernet IP address on the 4Gb SAN Switch has been changed, you may
install additional 4 Gb SAN Switches in the enclosure.

See the appropriate HP BladeSystem Enclosure Setup and Installation Guide for help
identifying your specific enclosure setup, available connections and power requirements.

Electrical considerations

The 4Gb SAN Switc

h requires 35 watts, provided by the enclosure. No other power

requirement or provision exists.

Environmental considerations

Ensure proper cooling and ventilation by verifying the following:

• Theairventsontheenclosurearenotblockedorrestricted.

• The ambient air temperature at the front of the enclosure does not exceed 35°C

(95°F) while the switch is operating.

IMPORTANT:

Thedustcoversthatshipwithyour4GbSANswitch

must

be inserted into any ports

where SFPs are not installed, to help contain air flow in the BladeSystem chassis.

23

Install the 4Gb SAN Switch

CAUTION:

For switch revision levels 0A and 0B only (running Fabric OS versions earlier than

5.2.1b)

—DHCP

is not supported on these models. Do not install multiple switches
at the same time with default addresses, as address conflicts will occur. Locate switch
revision levels on the switch or shipping carton. See Set the IP address.

For switch revision levels 0C and above only (Fabric OS 5.2.1b or later)

—DHCPis

supported an

d enabled by default for switches running Fabric OS 5.2.1b (switch rev

0C) or later

. In this case, IP address conflicts will not occur during multiple switch
installations. Locate switch revision levels on the switch or shipping carton. See

Using External DHCP.

The B rocade 4Gb SAN switch is a hot-pluggable device. The enclosure power may be
on or off when inserting the switch. Follow these steps to install the 4Gb SAN Switch.

1. Locate the appropriate interconnect bay in the rear of the enclosure per the

appropriate HP BladeSystem Enclosure Setup and Installation Guide provided with
your enclosure.

Remove the slot cover (if installed).

IMPORTANT:

P opulate all enclosure I/O bays with the appropriate component (for
example a switch, Pass-Thru or one of the blank panels provided with
the enclosure).

CAUTION:

Properly ground yourself before handling the switch.

2. Press the handle latch to release the installation handle. See Figure 4.

OA verifies power

As defined

earlier, the HP BladeSystem Onboard Administrator (OA) is the enclosure
management processor that manages the devices contained within the enclosure. The
OA provides a single point from which to perform basic management tasks on switches
or server blades installed in the enclosure.

IMPORTA

NT:

HP recom

mends reading the appropriate

HP BladeSystem Enclosure User Guide

and the

HP

BladeSystem Onboard Adm inistrator User Guide

. Reading these guides in sequence will

promote an overall understanding of your specificenclosuremodel.

Once the switch is installed in the interconnect bay, the OA verifies that the switch
type matches the mezzanine cards present on the servers. If there is no mismatch, the
OA powers up the switch.

If the switch does not power up, check the enclosure and switch status via the OA web
interface. Refer to the HP BladeSystem Onboard Administrator User Guide.

Setting the IP address

IMPORTANT:

The switch supports DHCP beginning with Fabric OS 5.2.1b firmware. For
switches runn

ing Fabric OS 5.2.1b (switch rev 0C) or later, DHCP is enabled by

default, sim

plifying multiple switch installations. To enable or disable this feature,

loginwithth

ese default credentials and issue the ipaddrset command using:

• username: admin

• password:

password

To set the Ethernet IP address:

1. Verify that the enclosure is powered on.

2. Verify that the switch is installed.

3. Choose one of the following methods to set the Ethernet IP address:

• Using Enclosure Bay IP Addressing (EBIPA)

• Using External DHCP

Setting the IP address manually

IP addresses must be set manually for 4Gb SAN Switches with revision levels prior to
rev 0C (running Fabric OS versions earlier than 5.2.1b). Switches with revision levels
earlier than rev 0C do not support DHCP. Set IP addresses for these switches manually
as follows:

NOTE:

As an alternate method to using a null modem cable, use telnet or ssh to access the IP
address of the Onboard Administrator, resuming at step 9 below.

1. Obtain the following items to set the IP address via a serial connection:

• Computer with a terminal ap plication (such as HyperTerminal in a Windows
environment or TERM in a UNIX environment)

• Null modem serial cable

2. Replace the default IP address (if present) and related information with the

information provided by your network administrator. By default, the IP address is set
to 10.77.77.77 for switches with revision levels earlier than 0C.

3. Verify that the enclosure is powered on.

4. Identify the active OA in the BladeSystem.

5. Connect a Null modem serial cable from your computer to the serial port of the

active OA.

36 Setup

Using Dynamic P

orts On Demand (DPOD)

In the past, Po

rts On Demand (POD) functionality was static. A preset group of ports

were individu

ally enabled per each POD license. In contrast, the new DPOD functionality
does not require a predefined assignment of ports. Port assignment is determined by the
total number of ports in use as well as the number of purchased ports.

In summary, the DPOD feature simplifies port management by:

• automatical

ly detecting HBA connected server ports or cabled ports.

• automatically enabling ports

• automatically assigning port licenses

To initiate

DPOD, use the licensePort command, as described in DPOD commands.

IMPORTANT:

For the Brocade 4Gb SAN Switch, DPOD works only if the server blade is installed
with an HBA present. A server blade that does not have a functioning HBA will not be
treated as an active link for the purpose of initial POD port assignment.

DPOD commands

Use the licensePort command to manage dynamic POD assignments with the
following options:

• licensePort –reserve portnum reserves a future license assignment for a

specific port, even if the port is currently offline.

• licensePort –release portnum removes a license from a port.

• portCfgPersistentDisable blocks a specificportfromfutureassignments.

• licensePort -show displays an overview of the POD license status and port

assignments.
The following shows examples of the licensePort -show command for a Brocade

4/12 SAN Switch and a Brocade 4/24 SAN Switch:

NOTE:

The DPOD feature does not consider disabled ports as candidates for license assignments.
You can persistently disable an otherwise viable port to cause it not to come online and
preserve a license assignment for future use.

Verifying the configuration

After setting initial parameters, verify the configuration as follows:

1. Check the LEDs to verify that all components are functional.

For information about LED patterns, refer to Interpreting LED activity.

2. Type switchshow to get information about the switch and p ort status.

3. Type fabricshow to get general information about the fabric.

Maintaining the

4Gb SAN Switch

The4GbSANSwitchdoesnotrequireanyregularphysicalmaintenance.
However, it is critical that environmental conditions, described in Environmental

requirements a

re met to help prevent switch failure due to heat stress or improper air flow.

Installing dust covers in empty por ts

The dust covers included in the 4GB SAN Switch shipping carton, (see Figure 1) must
be inserted in ports where SFPs are not installed. Installing dust covers ensures proper
airflow and helps reduce dust contamination of the switch.

Replacing an SFP transceiver

In some case

s you might need to reinstall an SFP transceiver.

To remove an SFP transceiver:

1. Press and hold the cable release.

2. Remove the

cable from the transceiver.

3. Pull the bail (wire handle ) to release the transceiver.

4. Grasp the bail, and gently but firmly pull the transceiver out of the port.

5. Repeat this procedure for the remaining ports as required.

Brocade 4Gb SAN Switch for HP c-Class BladeSystem

Diagnostic tests

In addition to POST, Fabric OS 5.x includes diagnostic tests to help troubleshoot the
hardware and the firmware including tests of internal connections and circuitry, fixed
media, and the transceivers and cables in use.

Initiate diagnostic tests via the command line, using a telnet session or a terminal setup
with a serial connection to the switch. Some tests require the ports to be connected
by external cables to allow diagnostics to verify the serializer/deserializer interface,
transceiver, and cable. For information on available diagnostic tests, type diagHelp.

All diagnostic tests are run at link speeds of 1 Gb/sec, 2 Gb/sec, and 4 Gb/sec.

44

Managing the 4Gb SAN Switch

CAUTION:

Diagnostic tests can temporarily lock the transmit and receive speed of the links during
diagnostic testing.

For information about specific diagnostic tests, refer to the latest version of the HP
StorageWorks Fabric OS administrator guide or type help followed by the name of

the diagnostic test.

Powering on and off

4Gb SAN Switch power is provided by the enclosure. The 4Gb SAN Switch will run
POST by default each time power to the enclosure is turned on. The POST process
canlastaslongasthreeminutes.

To remove power from the switch, remove the 4Gb SAN Switch from the enclosure
interconnect bay.

NOTE:

Each time the 4Gb SAN Switch is powered on, its settings are restored to the last
saved configuration.

Interpreting LED activity

You can monit

or switch activity and status by checking 4Gb SAN Switch LEDs.

There are thr

ee possible LED states: no light, a steady light, or a flashing light. The

steady ligh

ts and flashing lights can be g reen or amber.

The LEDs flas

h any of these colors during boot, POST, or other diagnostic tests. This is
normal and does not indicate a problem unless the LEDs do not indicate a healthy state
after all boot processes and diagnostic tests are complete. A healthy state is indicated
by a steady green light. See Table 12 for details about LED activity.

POST and boot specifications

POST is a system check that is performed each time the switch is powered on, rebooted,
or reset. During POST, the LEDs flash different colors. Any errors that occur during
POST are listed in the error log.

The 4 Gb SAN Switch performs POST when it is turned on or rebooted. Total boot time
with POST is approximately three minutes.

POST can be omitted for subsequent reboots by using the fastboot command. For
more information about this command, refer to the latest version of the Fabric OS
command reference guide. If you suspect a problem with the switch, enable POST to
obtain more information on any failure.

POST

The success/failure results of the diagnostic tests that run during POST can be monitored
through the error log or the c om m a nd line interface.

POST includes the following steps:

• Preliminary POST diagnostics are run.

• Operatin

g system is initialized.

• Hardware is initialized.

• Diagnostic tests are run on several functions, including circuitry, port functionality,

memory,

statistics counters, and serialization.

Boot

Boot completes in approximately three minutes if POST is run. Boot includes the following
tasks after POST completes:

• Universal port configuration

• Links initialized

• Fabric is analyzed; if any ports are connected to other switches, the 4Gb SAN

Switch participates in a fabric configuration

Brocade 4Gb SAN Switch for HP c-Class BladeSystem

49

• The 4Gb SAN Switch obtains a domain ID and assigns port addresses

• Unicast routing tables constructed

• Normal port operation enabled

Interpreting POST results

To determine whether POST completed successfully and whether any errors were
detected:

1. Verify that the 4

Gb SAN Switch LEDs indicate all c omponents are healthy. See

Table 1 3 for description and interpretation of LED patterns. If one or more LEDs do

not display a Healthy state, use the switchshow command to verify that the LEDs
on the switch ar

enotsetto“beacon”.

2. Verify tha t the 4Gb SAN Switch prompt appears on the terminal of a computer

workstation connected to the switch. If there is no switch prompt when POST
completes, pr

ess Enter. If the switch prompt still does not appear, try opening

another teln

et session or another management tool. If this is not successful, the 4Gb

SAN Switch d

id not successfully complete POST; contact HP.

3. Review the switch system log for errors. Any errors detected during POST are written

to the system log, accessible through the errshow command.
For information about all referenced commands and accessing the error log, refer

to the latest version of the HP StorageWorks Fabric OS adm inistrator guide.For
information about error messages, refer to the Fabric OS system error messages
reference manual.

B Electrostatic discharge

This appendix provides the following information:

• How to prevent electrostatic discharge

• Grounding methods

How to prevent electrostatic discharge

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

To prevent electrostatic damage, observe the following precautions:

• Avoid hand co

ntact by transporting and storing products in static-safe containers.

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

workstations.

• Place parts

on a grounded surface before removing them from their containers.

• Avoid touching pins, leads, or circuitry.

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

component

or assembly.

Grounding methods

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

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

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

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

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

• Use conductive field service tools.

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

Brocade 4Gb SAN Switch for HP c-Class BladeSystem

If you d o not have any of the suggested equipment for proper grounding, h ave an HP
authorized reseller install the part.
