LEDs

The LEDs on the switch provide activity or status information. For detailed information on all of the switch LEDs, see “Configuring the MSA

SAN Switch 2/8.”

Optical Ports

All optical ports support full fabric capability, allowing the MSA SAN Switch to link or cascade to other HP StorageWorks Fibre Channel switches, building a highly scalable SAN fabric.

The optical ports are connected via Small Form Factor Pluggable (SFP) media, which are universal and self-configuring.

Each optical port supports link speeds up to 2 Gb/s and, independent of the other ports, automatically negotiates to the highest speed possible for the devices connected to that port.

These ports conform to the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) Fibre Channel, FC-PI specification for Fibre Channel SFP transceivers.

The optical ports are numbered from left to right and are color-coded into two groups, indicating which ports can be used in the same ISL Trunking group.

ISL trunking is an optional feature that enables distribution of traffic over the combined bandwidth of up to four ISLs between two directly connected switches, while preserving in-order delivery. Ports 1 through 3 can be used in a three-port trunking group and ports 4 through 7 can be used in a four-port trunking group, creating aggregate bandwidths of 6 Gb/s and 8 Gb/s, respectively. For specific information about ISL trunking, refer to the HP StorageWorks ISL Trunking User Guide. This guide is included on the documentation CD, included in the shipping carton.

MSA SAN Switch 2/8 POST and Diagnostic Tests

Read the following sections for information on the POST and diagnostic tests.

POST Results

Each time the MSA1000 is powered on or the MSA SAN Switch is reset or reseated, the switch automatically performs a Power-on Self-Test (POST), verifying that the switch is operating properly. During POST, the port status LEDs flash. POST completes in approximately seven minutes.

POST runs through the following test cycles:

■ Preliminary POST diagnostics

■ Initialization of operating system

■ Initialization of hardware

■ Tests on circuitry, port functionality, memory, parity, statistics counters, and

serialization

To determine whether POST completed without errors, verify that all LEDs return to a normal state after POST is complete. If one or more LEDs do not return to a normal state or if the CLI switch prompt does not display when POST completes, POST was unsuccessful.

Check the success/fail results of the diagnostic tests run during POST via LED activity, the error log, or the CLI using the information about error messages, refer to the HP StorageWorks Fabric OS Reference Guide.

Disabling POST

If desired, you can configure your switch to bypass the POST routines.

Note: HP does not recommend disabling POST.

To disable POST through the CLI, use the command diagdisablepost. To disable POST through Web Tools, enable Fastboot in the Administration page. For specific instructions, see the HP StorageWorks Fabric OS Reference Guide or

the HP StorageWorks Web Tools User Guide. These guides are included on the documentation CD, included in the shipping carton.
