SAN Switch 2/8V, 2/16V and 2/16N chassis

The following sections illustrate the chassis front and rear panels.

SAN Switch 2/8V, 2/16V and 2/16N—port side

You can see the physical differences between the SAN Switch 2/8V and the SAN Switch
2/16V switches in the following figures. The most noticeable difference is the number of ports.

Figure 1 shows the port side of the SAN Switch 2/8V. Table 1 identifies port side components.

All LEDs reside on the port side of the switches. The nonport side is used for air intake. The
SAN Switch enclosures have 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.

Upgrading SAN Switch 4/32 ports

The SAN Switch 4/32 is available with either sixteen ports, 0 through 15 (Base model) or
thirty two, ports 16 through 32 (Full model) activated.

To activate additional ports, contact your HP representative to purchase the

8-Port Upgrade License

with sixteen active ports, purchase one 8-Port Upgrade License to activate ports 16 through 23.
Purchase two 8-Port Upgrade Licenses to activate ports 24 through 32.

NOTE: Check port status to verify if the license is pre-installed. For example, use the

portshow command for ports 16 through 32. If the port status output indicates “Started” and
“Licensed”, then all thirty two ports are activated.

1. If ports 16 through 32 show no License, purchase the

License,

Your HP representative requires the SAN Switch 4/32’s World Wide Number (WWN) in
order to assign a license key. Enter the switchshow command to obtain the WWN of
your SAN Switch 4/32.

2. Install the

approximately sixteen uppercase and lowercase letters and digits.

a. Log in to the SAN Switch 4/32 as admin.
b. Enter the licenseadd command, followed by the license key enclosed in quotation

Part Number T3677A, from an authorized HP representative.

marks.

, Part Number T3677A. For example, if your SAN Switch 4/32 shipped

HP StorageWorks 8-Port Upgrade

. The license key is a string of

HP StorageWorks

Overview24

NOTE: Enter the license key exactly as issued. If you enter it incorrectly, the license will not

function properly.

c. After entering the license key, use the licenseshow command to check to see if it is

valid.
If a licensed product is not displayed, the license is invalid.

NOTE: After you enter a license, the licensed product is available immediately; the system

does not require a reboot.

3. Next, configure the inactive ports. Use 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 16-32

4. Use the portenable command to enable the ports. For example:

portenable 16-32

5. Optionally, use the portshow command to verify that the newly activated ports are

“Started.”

SAN Switch licensing

SAN Switches operate differently in the network depending on the HP StorageWorks domain
licenses installed as follows:

• 2-domain Fabric License—Allows a maximum of two switches to operate within a

domain. The SAN Switch 2/8V and SAN Switch 2/16V ship with this license installed.

• 4-domain Fabric License—Upgrades the current 2-domain Fabric License, allowing a

maximum of four switches to operate within a domain. This license is offered for the SAN
Switch 2/8V and SAN Switch 2/16V models only

• Full-fabric License—Allows four or more switches to operate within a domain. All SAN

Switch Power Pack models ship with this license installed.

To determine the type of licensing installed on your SAN Switch, enter the licenseshow
command at the CLI prompt. A list of the all licenses currently installed on the switch displays,
as shown in the following example.

NOTE: If the licensed feature is listed, the feature is installed and immediately available.

ISL Trunking groups

If your SAN Switch is licensed for ISL trunking, use the trunking groups available on the switch.

The Fibre Channel ports are numbered from left to right, color-coded into groups of four to
indicate the groups of ports that can be used in the same interswitch link (ISL) trunking group.
The trunking groups are the two or four sets of four ports at the top or at the bottom of the
group, as shown in Figure 5.

Installation and safety considerations

You can install the switch using one of the following methods:

• As a stand-alone unit on a flat surface. See Installing as a stand-alone device, page 36.

• HP highly recommends mounting the switch in one of the following HP customized racks:

•HP StorageWorks System/e Rack

• HP StorageWorks 10,000 Series Rack

See Installing the switch in a rack using the SAN Switch Rack Mount Kit, page 37 for
detailed instructions.

Electrical considerations

For successful installation and operation of the switch, ensure that the following electrical
requirements are met. For power supply information, refer to ”SAN Switch technical

specifications” on page 99.

• Primary AC input 100-240 VAC (switch auto-senses input voltage),

47-63 Hz.

• Correctly wired primary outlet, with circuit protected by a circuit breaker and grounded in

accordance with local electrical codes.

• Adequate supply circuit, line fusing, and wire size, as specified by the electrical rating on

the switch nameplate.

Environmental considerations

Verify that the following environmental considerations are met:

• At a minimum, adequate cooling requires that you install the switch with the non-port side,

which contains the air intake vents, facing the cool-air aisle.

• Verify that a minimum of 24 cubic ft./minute of air flow is available to the air intake vents

on the nonport side of the switch.

• Verify that the ambient air temperature does not exceed 40° C (104° F) while the switch is

operating.

Installing and configuring34

Rack specifications

If installing the switch in a rack:

• Plan a rack space that is 1 rack unit (1.75 inches; 4.45 cm) high, 19 inches (48.3 cm)
wide, and at least 30 inches (76.2 cm) deep.

• The rack should be balanced and the installed equipment should be within the rack’s
weight limits. Ensure the rack is mechanically secured to insure stability in the event of
an earthquake.

• Ground all equipment in 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,
particularly if the switch is installed in a closed or multi-rack assembly.

• Verify that the additional weight of the switch does not exceed the rack’s weight limits or
unbalance the rack in any way.

• Secure the rack to ensure stability in case of unexpected movement, such as an
earthquake.

Cooling considerations

Cooling air is drawn into the switch chassis by the fans mounted on the rear of the chassis. The
air is expelled through vents in the front (port side) of the chassis. HP recommends installing the
switch so that air intake and exhaust for all components in the rack are flowing in the same
front-to-back direction.

Follow these guidelines to ensure proper air flow, and prevent component overheating:

• To ensure adequate cooling, install the switch with the non-port side, which contains the air

intake vents, facing the cool-air aisle.

• Verify a minimum of 47 cubic feet/minute (79.8 cubic meters/hour) of air flow is available

to the air intake vents on the non-port side of the switch.

• Verify that the ambient air temperature does not exceed 40° Celsius (104° Fahrenheit)

while the switch is operating.

CAUTION: Do not block air vents. The switch uses ambient air for cooling.

35SAN Switch 2/8V, 2/16V, 2/16N and 4/32 installation guide

Installing as a stand-alone device

Follow these steps to install as a stand-alone unit.

1. Unpack the switch and verify that all items listed on ”SAN Switch shipping carton contents”

on page 32 are present and undamaged.

2. Locate the four rubber feet in the Accessory box.

3. Apply the adhesive rubber feet. Applying the rubber feet in the switch helps 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 might 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 and off” on page 62.

CAUTION: Do not connect the switch to the network until the IP address is correctly set. For

instructions on how to set the IP address, see ”Cabling and configuring the SAN Switch” on
page 50.

Installing and configuring36

Installing the switch in a rack using the SAN
Switch Rack Mount Kit

This section provides instructions for installing the SAN Switch in an HP System/e rack, or in an
HP 10,000 series rack using the HP StorageWorks SAN Switch Rack Mount Kit supplied with
your switch.

Install the SAN Switch Rack Mount Kit in one of two ways:

• Allow the port side of the switch to slide out of the exhaust-air side of the rack.

• In this installation, the port side of the switch is flush with the edge of the rack.

• Allow the nonport side of the switch to slide out the cool-air side of the rack.

• In this installation, the port side of the switch is set 3 in. (7.62 cm.) back from the edge

of the rack, allowing a more gradual bend in the fiber optic cables.

NOTE: The SAN Switch Rack Mount Kit install requires one technician.

The following items are required to install the switch in a rack:

• SAN Switch

• Power cables

• #2 Phillips screwdriver

• 7/16-inch wrench or socket

Cabling and configuring the SAN Switch

The SAN Switch must be configured to ensure correct operation within a network and fabric.
For instructions about configuring the switch to operate in a fabric containing switches from
other vendors, refer to the
running on your switch. For more information about the commands used in this procedure, refer
to the
switch.

NOTE: All supporting Fabric OS documentation resides on the Software CD that shipped with

your switch.

HP StorageWorks command reference guide

Recommendations for cable management

Following is a list of HP recommendations for cable management:

• Plan for rack space required for cable management before installing the switch.

• The minimum bend radius for a 50 micron cable is 2 inches under full tensile load and 1.2

inches with no tensile load.

HP StorageWorks procedures user guide

for the Fabric OS version running on your

for the Fabric OS version

• Leave at least 3.28 ft. (1 m.) 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.

• 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

features overview

• 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.

• Do not use tie wraps on fiber optic cables, because the wraps are easily overtightened and

can damage the optic fibers. HP recommends using Filcrow wraps.

Installing and configuring56

Installing the SFP transceivers

The SAN Switch does not ship with SFPs. A list of supported SFPs can be found in ”SAN Switch

optional kits” on page 28.

Use the following procedure to install the SFP transceivers into the Fibre Channel ports.

The ports selected for use in trunking groups must meet specific requirements. For a list of these
requirements, refer to the specific “ISL Trunking” chapter in the

overview

Use these steps to install SFP transceivers.

1. Position a transceiver so that it is oriented correctly and insert it into a port until the latching

located on the Software CD that shipped with your switch.

mechanism clicks. The transceivers are keyed to ensure correct orientation. If a transceiver
does not install easily, ensure that it is correctly oriented.

For instructions specific to the type of transceiver, refer to the transceiver manufacturer’s
documentation.

Connecting the cables

HP StorageWorks features

Use these steps connect the cables to the SFP transceivers.

CAUTION: The minimum bend radius for a 50-micron cable is 2 inches under full tensile

load, and 1.2 inches with no tensile load.

Because they are easily overtightened, tie wraps are not recommended for optical cables.

1. The cable connectors are keyed to ensure correct orientation. Orient a cable connector so

that the key (ridge on one side of connector) aligns with the slot in the transceiver and insert
cable into transceiver until latching mechanism clicks. If a cable does not install easily,
ensure it is correctly oriented. For instructions specific to cable type, refer to the cable
manufacturer’s documentation.

2. Repeat for the remaining transceivers, as required.

57SAN Switch 2/8V, 2/16V, 2/16N and 4/32 installation guide

Verifying the configuration

Use these steps to confirm that the switch is configured and ready for use.

1. Check LEDs to verify that all components are functional. For information about LED patterns,

refer to ”Interpreting LED activity” on page 64.

2. Enter the switchshow command from the workstation. This command provides

information about the switch and port status.

3. Enter 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.

Back up the switch configuration to an FTP server by entering the configupload command
and following the prompts. This command uploads the switch configuration to the server,
making it available for downloading to a replacement switch, if necessary.

Setting the switch date and time

The date and time switch settings are used for logging events. Switch operation does not
depend on the date and time; a switch with an incorrect date and time value still functions
properly.

You can synchronize the local time of the principal or primary Fabric Configuration Server
(FCS) switch to that of an external Network Time Protocol (NTP) server.

Use these steps to set the date and time of a switch

1. Log in to the switch as admin.

2. Type the date command at the CLI prompt using the following syntax:

date “MMDDhhmm[CC]YY”

The values represent the following:

• MM is the month (01-12).

• DD is the date (01-31).

• hh is the hour (00-23).

• mm is minutes (00-59).

• CC is the century (19-20).

• YY is the year (00-99).

Installing and configuring58

Year values greater than 69 are interpreted as 1970-1999; year values less than 70 are
interpreted as 2000-2069. The date function does not support Daylight Savings Time or time
zones, so changes will have to be reset manually.

Example

switch:admin> date
Fri May 5 21:50:00 UTC 1989
switch:admin>
switch:admin> date "0624165203"
Tue Jun 24 16:52:30 UTC 2003
switch:admin>

Synchronizing local time with an external source

Use this procedure to synchronize the local time of the principal or primary FCS switch with
that of an external NTP server:

1. Log in as admin.

2. Enter the tsClockServer [

The

ipaddr

variable represents the IP address of the NTP server that the switch can access.

ipaddr

] command

This argument is optional; by default, its value is “LOCL”.

Example

switch:admin> tsclockserver
LOCL
switch:admin> tsclockserver 132.163.135.131
switch:admin>

Correcting the time zone of a switch

Use these steps set the time zone:

1. Log in as admin.

2. 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 Universal Time Conversion (UTC), which is eight hours
ahead of Pacific Standard Time. The parameters listed do not apply if the time zone of the
switch(es) has already been changed from the default (eight hours ahead of PT).

59SAN Switch 2/8V, 2/16V, 2/16N and 4/32 installation guide

Refer to the tsTimeZone command in the

HP StorageWorks command reference guide

for more
detailed information about the command parameters. All supporting Fabric OS documentation
resides on the Software CD that shipped with your switch.

3. Repeat Steps 1 and 2 on all switches for which the time zone needs to be set.

This needs to be done only once, because the value is stored in nonvolatile memory.

For U.S. time zones, see Table 9 to determine the correct parameter for the tsTimeZone
command.

Powering on and off

Read the following sections to power on and off SAN Switches.

SAN Switch 2/8V

Connect one end of the power cord to the AC inlet on the switch, and the remaining end to a
power source.

To power on, set the AC power switch to I. The switch runs POST by default each time it is
powered on, reset, or rebooted. POST requires approximately 3 minutes.

To power off, set the AC power switch to O and remove the power cord from the power source.

NOTE: Removing all power from the switch triggers a system reset. All devices are returned to

their initial state the next time the switch is powered on.

SAN Switch 2/16V, 2/16N and 4/32

Connect one or both power cords to the AC power inlets on the nonport side of the switch, and
the remaining end to a power source.

To power on, set both AC power switches to I. Power is supplied to the switch as soon as the
first power supply is connected and powered on.

To power off, set the AC power switch to O and remove the AC power cord from the power
source.

NOTE: Removing all power from the switch triggers a system reset. All devices are returned to

their initial state the next time the switch is powered on.

Managing SAN switches62

Management features

SAN Switches use built-in management tools to help you monitor fabric topology, check port
status, and debug the switch. Table 10 lists the management applications available.

NOTE: When running IP over Fibre Channel, these management tools must be supported by

both HBA and HBA drivers. For a list of supported HBAs, refer to the

HP StorageWorks SAN design guide

63SAN Switch 2/8V, 2/16V, 2/16N and 4/32 installation guide

Managing SAN Switches from a single
management station

A management station connected to one switch via Ethernet can also be used to manage other
switches connected to the first switch via Fibre Channel. To do so, set the fibre channel gateway
address of each of the other switches to be managed, to the Fibre Channel IP address of the
first switch. The gateway address of the first switch should be set to what ever the gateway
address is for the subnet that the first switch resides on.

For example:

Management Station First Switch Second Switch Third Switch
Ethernet 192.168.1.09 192.168.1.10 204.1.1.11 204.1.1.12
FCIP 192.168.65.09 192.168.65.10 192.168.65.11 192.168.65.12
Gateway 192.168.1.10 any not self 192.168.1.10 192.168.1.10

The disadvantage of this method is that the management station can only address the
switches.

Interpreting LED activity

System activity and status can be determined through the activity of the LEDs on the switch.
There are three possible LED states that display either green or amber:

• no light

• a steady light

• a flashing light

The LEDs flash during boot, POST, or other diagnostic tests. This is normal and does not
indicate a problem. A healthy state is indicated by a steady green light.

POST and boot specifications

When the switch is turned on or rebooted, the switch performs POST. Total boot time with POST
is a minimum of 3 minutes.

Use fastboot.to bypass POST after subsequent reboots by For more information about this
command, refer to the
running on your switch.

POST

The success/failure results of the diagnostic tests that run during POST can be monitored
through the error log or the CLI.

POST includes the following:

• Preliminary POST diagnostics display.

• Operating system is initializes.

• Hardware initializes.

• Diagnostic tests check several functions, including circuitry, port functionality, memory,

statistics counters, and serialization.

HP StorageWorks command reference guide

for the Fabric OS version

Boot

Boot completes in approximately 3 minutes with POST running. In addition to POST, boot
includes the following after POST completes:

• Universal port configuration set

• Links initialize

• Fabric is analyzed, and if any ports are connected to other switches, the switch participates

in a fabric configuration.

• Switch obtains a domain ID and assigns port addresses

• Unicast routing tables constructed

• Normal port operation enabled

Managing SAN switches76

Interpreting POST results

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 display in
the error log.

To determine that POST completed successfully and whether or not any errors were detected:

1. Verify that the switch LEDs indicate that all components are healthy. If one or more LEDs do

not display a healthy state, verify that the LEDs on the switch are not set to “beacon” using
the switchshow command.

2. Verify the switch prompt displays on the terminal of a computer workstation connected to

the switch. If there is no switch prompt when POST completes, press Enter. If the switch
prompt still does not display, try opening another telnet session or accessing through
another management tool. If this is not successful, the switch did not successfully complete
POST; contact your HP Technical Support.

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 on accessing the error log, refer to the

StorageWorks procedures user guide
messages reference guide

All supporting Fabric OS documentation resides on the Software CD that shipped with your
switch.

Diagnostic tests

In addition to POST, Fabric OS includes diagnostic tests to help troubleshoot the hardware and
the 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 terminal
set up for 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.

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

CAUTION: Diagnostic tests can temporarily lock the transmit and receive speed of the links

B Electrostatic discharge

To prevent damaging the system, be aware of the precautions you need to follow 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 contact 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 dissipating floor mats.

• Use conductive field service tools.

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

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