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.

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.
