Switch description

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

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

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

Multiple switches and the HAFM appliance communicate on a local area network (LAN) through
one or more 10Base-T Ethernet hubs.

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

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

Features

The features of the Edge Switch 2/32 include:

• Scalable from 16 to 32 User ports

• 100% dynamic non-blocking, cut through switching with congestion queuing

• Online error detection, error isolation, and error recovery

• Redundant hot-pluggable components

• Small form factor, hot-pluggable optical transceivers

Edge Switch 2/32 installation guide 13

• Combination short-wave or long-wave laser transceivers

• Redundant power supplies and fan modules

• Online product repair for Field Replaceable Units (FRUs)

• Periodic health check and enhanced system monitoring

• Non-disruptive firmware load and update

Switch management

The Edge Switch 2/32 is managed and controlled through the following user interfaces:

• High Availability Fabric Manager (HAFM appliance) with the Java

Manager installed. Access to the Element Manager must be through the HAFM applications.
These applications are installed on the HAFM appliance.

• The Embedded Web Server (EWS) interface. Using a browser-capable PC and a connection to

a LAN to which the switch is connected, 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 Element Manager application and supports switch configuration, statistics monitoring, and
basic operation.

To launch the Embedded Web Server interface, enter the switch 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 Element

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 directors and edge switches.

™ based HAFM Element

This manual provides details on the Element Manager application for the Edge Switch 2/32 only.
Use this manual for the Element Manager installed on an HAFM appliance.

Error-Detection, reporting, and serviceability

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

• Light-emitting diodes (LEDs) on switch FRUs and adjacent to Fibre Channel ports that provide

visual indicators of hardware status or malfunctions.

• System and threshold alerts, event logs, audit logs, link incident logs, threshold alert logs, and

hardware logs that display switch, Ethernet link, and Fibre Channel link status at the HAFM
appliance.

Introduction14

• Diagnostic software that performs power-on self-tests (POSTs) and port diagnostics (internal

loopback, external loopback, and Fibre Channel (FC) loopback tests). The FC loopback test
applies only when the switch is configured to operate in FICON management style.

• Automatic notification of significant system events (to support personnel or administrators)

through e-mail messages or the call-home feature at the HAFM appliance.

• A modem for use by support personnel to dial-in to the HAFM appliance for event notification

and to perform remote diagnostics.

• An RS-232 maintenance port at the rear of the switch (port access is password protected) that

enables installation or service personnel to change the switch’s internet protocol (IP) address,
subnet mask, and gateway address. Or to run diagnostics and isolate system problems through
a local or remote terminal.

• FRUs—small form factor pluggable (SFP) optical transceivers, power supplies, and cooling

fans—that are removed or replaced without disrupting switch or Fibre Channel link operation.

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

equipment.

• Concurrent port maintenance—SFPs and fiber-optic cables are removed and attached to ports

without interrupting other ports or switch operation.

• Beaconing to assist service personnel in locating a specific port or switch. When port beaconing

is enabled, the amber LED associated with the port flashes. When unit beaconing is enabled,
the system error indicator on the front panel flashes. Beaconing does not affect port or switch
operation.

• Data collection through the Element Manager on the HAFM appliance to help isolate system

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

• SNMP management:

• Using the Fibre Alliance MIB (Version 3.1) that runs on the HAFM appliance, up to 12

authorized management workstations can be configured through the HAFM application to
receive unsolicited SNMP trap messages.

• Using the Fibre Channel Fabric Element MIB (Version 1.1), TCP/IP MIB-II definition (RFC

1213), or a product-specific MIB that runs on each switch, up to 6 authorized management
workstations can be configured through the Element Manager to receive unsolicited SNMP
trap messages.

The trap messages indicate operational state changes and failure conditions.

NOTE: For more information about SNMP support provided by HP products, refer to the HP

StorageWorks SNMP reference guide for directors and edge switches.

Edge Switch 2/32 installation guide 15

Zoning

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

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

CAUTION: If zoning is implemented by port number, a change to the switch fiber-optic cable

configuration disrupts zone operation and may incorrectly include or exclude a device from a zone.

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

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

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

Multiswitch fabrics

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

Hardware components

The switch provides a modular design that enables quick removal and replacement of FRUs—small
form factor pluggable SFP optical transceivers, power supplies, and fans. This section describes the
Edge Switch 2/32 main components.

SFP transceivers (fiber optic connectors)

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

• Shortwave laser—Shortwave laser SFPs provide short-distance connections (2 to 500 meters)

through 50-micron or 62.5-micron multimode fiber.

• Longwave laser—Longwave laser SFPs provide long-distance connections (up to 10 kilometers)

through 9-micron single-mode fiber.

• Extended longwave laser—Extended longwave laser SFPs provide long-distance connections (up

to 35 kilometers) through 9-micron single-mode fiber.

Cooling fans

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

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

Power supplies

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

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

Power supply requirements are listed in.

Connectors and indicators

Connectors and indicators include the:

• Initial machine load (IML) button.

• Ethernet LAN connector.

• Power and System Error LEDs (green power (PWR) and amber system error (ERR) LEDs).

• FRU status LEDs (green and amber status LEDs associated with FRUs).

• Maintenance port (RS-232).

Initial machine load button

When the IML button (Figure 1 on page 17) is pressed and held for three seconds, the switch
performs an IML that takes approximately 30 seconds and resets the following:

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

• Ethernet LAN interface, causing the connection to the HAFM appliance to drop momentarily

until the connection automatically recovers.

Introduction18

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

automatically recover.

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

Ethernet LAN connector

The front panel provides a 10/100 megabit per second (Mbps) RJ-45 twisted-pair connector
(Figure 1 on page 17) that attaches to an Ethernet LAN to provide communication with the on
page 17 or an SNMP management workstation. Two green LEDs are associated with the LAN
connector. When illuminated, the left LED indicates LAN operation at 10 Mbps, and the right LED
indicates LAN operation at 100 Mbps.

Power and system error LEDs

The PWR LED (Figure 1on page 17) illuminates when the switch is connected to facility AC power
and powered on. If the LED extinguishes, a facility power source, power cord, or power distribution
failure is indicated.

The ERR LED (Figure 1 on page 17) illuminates when the switch detects an event requiring
immediate operator attention, such as a FRU failure. The LED remains illuminated as long as an
event is active. The LED extinguishes when the Clear System Error Light function is selected from the
Element Manager. The LED blinks if unit beaconing is enabled. An illuminated ERR LED (indicating
a failure) takes precedence over unit beaconing.

FRU status LEDs

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

• Port SFP—Amber and green LEDs to the left of the port (Figure 1 on page 17) illuminate,

extinguish, or blink to indicate various port states (operational with active Fibre Channel traffic,
operational but not communicating, beaconing, blocked, failed, inactive, or running
diagnostics).

• Fan—An amber LED at the lower left corner of each fan (Figure 1 on page 17) illuminates if the

fan fails or rotates too slowly.

• Power Supply—A green LED at the upper left corner of each power supply (Figure 2 on

page 17) illuminates if the power supply is operational and receiving AC power.

Maintenance port

The rear panel provides a 9-pin RS-232 maintenance port (Figure 2 on page 17) that provides a
connection for a local terminal or dial-in connection for a remote terminal. Although the port is
typically used by authorized maintenance personnel, operations personnel can use the port to
configure switch network addresses.

Edge Switch 2/32 installation guide 29

Configure switch network information

The Edge Switch 2/32 is delivered with the following default network addresses:

• MAC address—the media access control (MAC) address is programmed into FLASH memory on

the CTP card at the time of manufacture. The MAC address is unique for each switch, and should
not be changed. The address is in xx.xx.xx.xx.xx.xx format, where xx is a hexadecimal pair.

NOTE: References to the CTP in this manual are to the control processor logic contained on

the switch motherboard. If an event occurs that indicates the CTP as faulty, replacement of
the switch assembly is required.

• IP address—the factory preset default internet protocol (IP) address is 10.1.1.10. The default IP

address is also 10.1.1.10.
If Reset Configuration is selected from the Element Manager application, the switch resets to the

default address of 10.1.1.10.
If multiple switches are installed on the same LAN, each switch (and the HAFM appliance) must

have a unique IP address. One switch can use the factory-set address, but the addresses of the
remaining switches must be changed.

NOTE: If you have enabled additional port function with the HP Flexport feature since the

switch shipped from the factory, resetting the configuration will return this feature to the
factory default of only 16 ports enabled. You must re-enable the additional ports using the
Configure Feature Key dialog box (see ”Configure feature key” on page 64).

WARNING! This operation resets all configuration including any optional features that have

been installed. You will need to re-enter your feature key to enable all optional features after
resetting the configuration parameters.

• Subnet mask—the default subnet mask is 255.0.0.0. If the switch is installed on a complex

public LAN with one or more routers, the address may require change.

• Gateway address—the default gateway address is 0.0.0.0. If the switch is installed on a

dedicated LAN with no connection through a router, the address does not require change. If the
switch is installed on a public LAN (corporate intranet), the gateway address must be changed
to the address of the corporate intranet’s local router.

Verify that the type of LAN installation with the customer’s network administrator. If one switch is
installed on a dedicated LAN, network addresses do not require change.

Installing and configuring the Edge Switch 2/3230

Changing the switch address

If multiple switches are installed or a public LAN segment is used, network addresses must be
changed to conform to the customer’s LAN addressing scheme. The following items are required to
perform this task:

• A local workstation (desktop or notebook computer) with:

• Microsoft Windows 98, Windows 2000, Windows Server 2003, Windows XP, or Windows
NT 4.0 operating system.

• RS-232 serial communication software (for example, ProComm Plus or HyperTerminal).

Note that the HAFM appliance may be used for this function and that HyperTerminal is included
with Windows 2000 or Windows Server 2003 provided in the HAFM appliance.

and color of the status symbol associated with the Edge Switch product icon. Table 3 explains
the symbols and associated operational states.

Table 3 Switch operational states and symbols

Operational state Symbol

Operational—switch-to appliance communication is established, the
switch is operational, and no failures are indicated. Go to ”Set Switch

date and time” on page 38. (

Degraded—switch-to-appliance communication is established, but the
switch is operating in degraded mode and requires service. This
condition is typical if a port or redundant FRU fails. Go to step 2.

Failed—switch-to appliance communication is established, but the switch

failed and requires immediate service. Go to step 2.

Status Unknown—the switch status is unknown because of a network
communication failure between the switch and HAFM appliance.
Go to step 2.

Configure switch management style

NOTE: To change this value, you must first set the switch offline (see ”Set the switch offline” on

page 40). After you change the value, be sure to set the switch online again (see ”Set the switch

online” on page 39.)

Perform this procedure to set the switch to Open Systems or FICON management style. This setting
only affects the management style used to manage the switch; it does not affect port operation.
That is, OSI devices can communicate with each other if the switch is set to FICON management
style; FICON devices can communicate with each other if the switch is set to Open Systems
management style.

NOTE: If the FICON management appliance feature is enabled, the default management style is

FICON and the Open Systems management style cannot be enabled.

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

To configure the switch management style:

1. Ensure that the switch is set offline. For instructions, see ”Set the switch offline” on page 40.

2. Select Product > Management Style. The Configure Management menu is displayed.

3. Select the management style as follows:

• Open Systems— Use for all non-FICON Fibre Channel environments.

• FICON—If the FICON management appliance feature is enabled, the default style will be

FICON. You will not be able to change to Open Systems with the FICON management
appliance feature enabled.

4. Click Activate.

5. Set the switch online. For instructions, see ”Set the switch online” on page 39.

Edge Switch 2/32 installation guide 41

Configure Switch Operating Parameters

Use the procedures in this section to set parameters on the switch for fabric operation through the
Configure Switch Parameters dialog box. These operating parameters are stored in NVRAM on the
switch.

1. The switch must be offline to change the Preferred Domain ID and other operating parameters.

Ensure that the switch is set offline. For instructions, see ”Set the switch offline” on page 40.

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

2. Select Configure > Operating Parameters > Switch Parameters. The Configure Switch

Parameters dialog box is displayed (Figure 19).

Figure 19 Configure Switch Parameters dialog box

NOTE: Ordinarily, you do not need to change values in this dialog box from their defaults.

The only exception is the Preferred Domain ID. Change this value if the switch will participate
in a multiswitch fabric.

3. Use information in the ”Switch parameters” section, which follows, to change settings as

required for parameters in this dialog box.

4. After you change settings, click the Activate button.

5. Set the switch online. For instructions, see ”Set the switch online” on page 39.

Switch parameters

Configure the following parameters as required by your fabric.

Domain ID

The domain identification is a value from 1 through 31 that provides a unique identification for the
switch in a fabric. An Edge Switch cannot contain the same domain ID as another switch or their
E_Ports will segment when they try to join.

In the Configure Switch Parameters dialog box, a field is provided to enter a preferred domain ID
and a check box is provided to enable this ID as an insistent domain ID.

Installing and configuring the Edge Switch 2/3242

Preferred

NOTE: To change this value, you must first set the switch offline. Select Set Online State from the

Maintenance menu to display the Set Online State dialog box, then click the button. Be sure to set
the switch back online after you change this value.

Use this field to set a unique domain ID for the switch. The default value is 1. Set a value from 1
through 31. When a switch comes online with a preferred ID, it requests an ID from the fabric’s
principal switch (indicating its preferred value as part of the request). If the requested domain ID is
not allocated to the fabric, the domain ID is assigned to the requesting switch. If the requested
domain ID is already allocated, an unused domain ID is assigned. Note that you must set the switch
offline before you can change to the preferred domain ID.

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

For more information on domain ID, refer to the section on domain ID assignment for multiswitch
fabrics in the HP StorageWorks HA-Fabric Manager User Guide for details.

Insistent

This option is not supported unless the SANtegrity feature is installed. Click the check box to remove
or add a check mark. The default state is disabled (no check mark).

When a check mark is displayed, the domain ID configured in the Preferred Domain ID field will
become the active domain identification when the fabric initializes. See the following notes:

• This option is required if the HAFM is enabled.

• If you enable Insistent Domain while the switch or director is online, the Preferred Domain ID will

change to the current active domain ID if the IDs are different.

CAUTION: If a switch with a duplicate domain ID exists in the fabric, both switches' E_Ports will

segment when they try to join.

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. The default
state is enabled.

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.

Edge Switch 2/32 installation guide 43

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

NOTE: This option is required if High Availability Fabric Manager (HAFM) is enabled.

Domain RSCNs

Domain register for state change notifications (domain RSCNs) are sent between end devices in a
fabric to provide additional connection information to host bus adapters (HBA) and storage devices.
As an example, this information might be that a logical path has been broken because of a physical
event, such as a fiber-optic cable being disconnected from a port. Consult with your HBA and
storage device vendor to determine if enabling Domain RSCNs will cause problems with your HBA
or storage products. Note that this option is required if Enterprise Fabric Mode (optional SANtegrity
binding feature) is enabled.

Suppress RSCNs on zone set activations

Fabric format domain register for state change notifications (RSCNs) are sent to ports on the switch
following any change to the fabric's active zone set. These changes include activating and
deactivating the zone set, or enabling and disabling the default zone. When the Suppress RSCNs
on zone set activations check box is selected, fabric format RSCNs are not sent for zone changes to
the attached devices on the switch. Click the check box to remove or add a check mark.

This option is enabled (check box not selected) by default. In most cases this option should be
enabled so that attached devices can receive notification of zoning changes in the fabric. However,
some HBAs may log out, then log back into the fabric when they receive an RSCN, thereby
disrupting Fibre Channel traffic. Consult with your HBA and storage device vendor to determine if
disabling this option (and thereby enabling RSCN transmission) will cause problems with your HBA
or storage products.

Configure fabric operating parameters

Use procedures in this section to set parameters on the switch for fabric operation through the
Configure Fabric Parameters dialog box. These operating parameters are stored in NV-RAM on the
switch.

1. The switch must be offline to change parameters in this dialog box. Ensure that the switch is set

offline. For instructions, see ”Set the switch offline” on page 40.

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

Installing and configuring the Edge Switch 2/3244

2. At the Hardware View, select Operating Parameters > Fabric Parameters from the Element

Manager window. The Configure Fabric Parameters dialog box is displayed (Figure 20).

Figure 20 Configure Fabric Parameters dialog box

NOTE: Ordinarily, you do not need to change values in this dialog box from their defaults.

The only exception is the Preferred Domain ID. Change this value if the switch will participate
in a multiswitch fabric.

3. Use information under ”Fabric parameters” on page 45 to change settings as required for

parameters in this dialog box.

4. After you change settings, click Activate.

5. Back up the configuration data when you are finished configuring the switch.

6. Set the switch online. For instructions, see ”Set the switch online” on page 39.

Fabric parameters

Configure the following parameters as required by your 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 the 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 from 10 tenths through 1200 tenths (1 through 120
seconds).

Edge Switch 2/32 installation guide 45

NOTE: Set the same value for R_A_TOV on all directors and switches in 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

Adjust the E_D_TOV in tenth-of-a-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 from 2 tenths through 600 tenths (.2 through 60 seconds).

NOTE: Set the same value for E_D_TOV on all switches and directors in a multiswitch fabric. If the

value is not the same, the fabric segments.

Switch priority

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

Setting these priority values determines the principal switch selected for the multiswitch fabric. For
example, if you have three switches in the fabric and set one as Principal, one as Default, and one
as Never Principal, the unit set to Principal becomes the principal switch in the fabric.

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 becomes 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.

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.

NOTE: HP recommends that you leave the switch priority setting as Default. If you are considering

setting this value to something other than default, refer to the section on principal switch selection for
multiswitch fabrics in the HP StorageWorks HA-Fabric Manager user guide for details.

In, for example, 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 of 2-253 are not currently in use.

Installing and configuring the Edge Switch 2/3246

Interop Mode

Select one of the following options:

• Homogeneous Fabric—Select this mode if the fabric contains only HP directors and switches that

are operating in Homogeneous Fabric mode.

• Open Fabric 1.0—Default. Select this mode if the fabric contains HP directors and switches, as

well as other open-fabric compliant switches. Select this mode for managing heterogeneous
fabrics.

Configure switch binding

This feature is managed through the Switch Binding submenu options available on the Element
Manager Configure menu. Using Switch Binding, you can specify devices and switches that can
attach to director and switch ports. This provides security in environments that include a large
number of devices by ensuring that only the intended set of devices attach to a switch or director.
For complete procedures on configuring this optional feature, refer to the HP StorageWorks Edge
Switch Element Manager user guide.

Configure ports (Open Systems management style)

If the switch is set to Open Systems management style, perform this procedure to define Fibre
Channel port names, configure ports as blocked or unblocked, enable extended distance operation
and link incident (LIN) alerts, configure port binding, and define port types.

To configure switch ports (Open Systems management style only):

1. At the Hardware View page for the selected switch, select Configure > Ports. The Configure Ports

dialog box (Open Systems management style) is displayed.
a. Select a blank Name field and enter a descriptive port name of 24 or fewer alphanumeric

characters. Use a name that reflects the device connected to the port.

b. Click the Blocked check box to block or unblock a port. A check mark in the box indicates

values vary by Director. If an invalid value is entered, an Invalid RX BB Credit error message
displays. The BB Credit value is validated as entered.

Click Activate and a RX-BB Credit Confirmation box displays. In addition to the maximum
BB credit limit per port, the total BB credits allocated to all ports cannot exceed the buffer
pool size.

NOTE: Only 24-Port switches have a switch-wide buffer pool. The Configure Ports dialog

box displays the total and available buffers at the bottom of the dialog box. When
information is changed in the RX BB Credit column, this information also updates. If
information is entered that exceeds the buffer pool and Activate is clicked, an error message
displays. Also, ports for the 24-Port switches can be individually configured between 2–12,
with a total number of port credits of 150.

Edge Switch 2/32 installation guide 49

Configure preferred ports

The preferred path feature lets you specify and configure one or more ISL data paths between
multiple directors or switches in a fabric. Each participating director or switch must be configured as
part of a desired path. The following rules apply when configuring a preferred path:

• The switch domain ID must be set to Insistent. For instructions, refer to ”Configure Switch

Operating Parameters” on page 42.

• Domain IDs range between 1 through 31.

• Source and exit port numbers are limited to the range of ports available on the director or switch

(0 through 23).

• For each source port, only one path is defined to each destination domain ID.

NOTE: Activating a preferred path can result in receipt of out-of- order frames if the

preferred path differs from the current path, if input and output (I/O) is active from the source
port, and if congestions is present on the current path.

To configure one or more preferred paths for the switch:

1. At the Hardware View, select Configure > Preferred Path. The Configure Preferred Paths dialog

box is displayed (Figure 22).

Figure 22 Configure Preferred Paths dialog box

2. Click Add. The Add Preferred Path dialog box is displayed (Figure 23).

• If you enable Insistent Domain while the switch or director is online, the Preferred Domain
ID will change to the current active domain ID if the IDs are different.

c. Select Enabled or Disabled from the Rerouting Delay drop-down list. The default state is

enabled.
If rerouting delay is enabled, traffic is delayed through a fabric by the specified E_D_TOV

time. This delay ensures Fibre Channel frames are delivered to their destination in order, even
if a change to the fabric topology creates a new (shorter) transmission path.

d. Select Enabled or Disabled from the Domain RSCNs drop-down list. The default state is

disabled.
Domain register for state change notifications (domain RSCNs) are sent between end devices

in a fabric to provide additional connection information to host bus adapters (HBAs) and
storage devices. As an example, this information might be that a logical path has been
broken because of a physical event, such as a fiber optic cable being disconnected from a
port. Consult with your HBA and storage device vendor to determine if enabling Domain
RSCNs will cause problems with your HBA or storage products.

e. Select Enabled or Disabled from the Suppress RSCNs on Zone set activations drop-down list.

The default state is disabled.
When the parameter is enabled, attached devices do not receive notification following any

change to the fabric's active zone set.

Federal Communications Commission notice

Part 15 of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Rules and Regulations has established
Radio Frequency (RF) emission limits to provide an interference-free radio frequency spectrum. Many
electronic devices, including computers, generate RF energy incidental to their intended function
and are, therefore, covered by these rules. These rules place computers and related peripheral
devices into two classes, A and B, depending upon their intended installation. Class A devices are
those that may reasonably be expected to be installed in a business or commercial environment.
Class B devices are those that may reasonably be expected to be installed in a residential
environment (i.e., personal computers). The FCC requires devices in both classes to bear a label
indicating the interference potential of the device as well as additional operating instructions for the
user.

The rating label on the device shows which class (A or B) the equipment falls into. Class B devices
have an FCC logo or FCC ID on the label. Class A devices do not have an FCC logo or FCC ID on
the label. Once the class of the device is determined, refer to the following corresponding statement.

Class A equipment

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device,
pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection
against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This
equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used
in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.

Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference, in which
case the user will be required to correct the interference at personal expense.

Class B equipment

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device,
pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection
against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can
radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions,
may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that
interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful
interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off
and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following
measures:

• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.

• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit that is different from that to which the receiver

is connected.

• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio or television technician for help.
