4/8 and 4/16 SAN Switch chassis
This section describes the chassis front (port side) and rear (nonport side).
4/8 and 4/16 SAN Switch port side
All L EDs reside on the port side of the switch (see Figure 1). The 4/8 and 4/16 SAN
Switch enclosure uses forced-air cooling, with the fans pushing the air from the nonport
side of the chassis through the enclosure and exhausting at the port side.
See Interpreting LED activity on page 69 for a complete description of switch LEDs.

Activating additional 4/8 and 4/16 SAN Switch ports
The 4/16 SAN Switch models offer 8, 12, or 16 licensed ports. To enable ports
8 through 11, you must purchase and install one or more HP StorageWorks 4-PortUpgrade Licenses. To enable ports 12 through 15, you must purchase and install a
second HP StorageWorks 4-Port Upgrade License.
To activate additional ports:
1. Use the portshow command to verify the number of p orts licensed on your switch.
The port status output indicates Started and Licensed for enabled ports. See
the Fabric OS command reference manual for specific information on this command.
2. Use the switchshow command to obtain your SAN Switch WWN, which your HP
representative requires to assign a license key.

and lowercase letters and numerals.)
NOTE:
Enter the license key exactly as issued. If you enter the key incorrectly,
the license will not function properly.
c.Issue the licenseshow command to verify that the license is valid. If a

Enabling E_Ports on the 4/8 SAN Switch
The 4/8 SAN Switch requires that you purchase the Full Fabric Upgrade License, part
number T4261A, to enable E_Ports (the 4/16 SAN Switch ships with the Full Fabric
license installed). The switch, by default, cannot be connected to another switch until this
license is installed. Without the license, the switch can still be directly connected to hosts
and storage devices. To install the Full Fabric Upgrade License,usethelicenseadd
command. After it has been installed, the license appears under the licenseshow
command as Full Fabric License and indicates that E_Ports are now automatically
enabled when interswitch links (ISLs) are connected.

SAN Switch ISL Trunking groups
ISL Trunking is optional HP StorageWorks software that allows you to create trunking
groups of ISLs between adjacent switches. For more information about trunking, see the
Fabric OS administrator’s guide.
If your SAN Switch is licensed for ISL Trunking (for example, Power Pack models ship
with this license), use the trunking groups available on the switch.
SAN Switch installation guide
31
NOTE:
The maximum number of ports per trunk for the 4/8 and 4/16 SAN Switches is four.
The FC ports are numbered from left to right in groups of four. This arrangement
indicates the groups of ports that can be used in the same ISL trunking group. The
trunking groups are the t wo or four sets of ports at the top or bottom of the group, as
shown in Figure 5 on page 27.
Optional SAN Switch features
SAN Switches support the following optional software, activated with the p urchase of
alicensekey:
NOTE:
All SAN Switch Power Pack models ship with these licensed options enabled.
• ISL Trunking
• Secure Fabric OS
• Fabric Watch
• Advanced Performance Monitoring

Cabling and configuring the SAN Switch
The SAN Switch must be configured to ensure correct o peration with a network and
fabric. For instructions on configuring the switch to operate in a fabric containing
switches from other vendors, see the Fabric OS administrator’s guide.
For more information about the commands used in this procedure, see the Fabric OS
command referenc
NOTE:
All supp orting Fabric OS documentation is accessible from the B-Series switches link
on the following web site: h
Recommendations for cable management
Before installing the switch, plan the rack space required for cable management based
on the following HP recommendations:
• Leave enough space to allow for the fact that the minimum bend radius for a
50-micron cable is 2 inches under full tensile load and 1.2 inches with no
tensile load.
• Leave at least 1 m (3.28 ft) 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 Fabric OS administrator’s guide.
• 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; tie wraps are easily overtightened
and can damage the optic fibers. HP recommends using velcro straps to secure
and organize fiber optic cables.

Modify the FC domain I D (optional)
You can modif y the FC domain ID. The default FC domain ID is 1. If the switch is not
powered on until after it is connected to the fabric, and the default FC domain ID is
already in use, the domain ID for the new switch is automatically reset to a unique value.
If the switch is connected to the fabric after it has been powered on, and the default
domain ID is already in use, the fabric segments.
To determine the domain IDs that are currently in use, issue the fabricshow command.
The number of domains is determined by your domain fabric licensing.
To modify the domain ID:
1. Issue the switchdisable command to disable the switch.
2. Issue the configure command. The prompts display sequentially: enter a new
value or press Enter to accept each default value.

Connect the cab
CAUTION:
The minimum bend radius for a 50-m icron cable is 2 inches u nder full tensile load and
1.2 inches with no tensile load. Because they are easily overtightened, HP does not
recommend tie wraps for optical cables.
To connect the cables to the SFP transceivers:
1. The cable connectors are keyed to ensure correct orientation. Orient a cable
connector so that the key (the ridge on the side of the connector) aligns with the
slot in the transceiver, a nd insert the cable into the transceiver until the latching
mechanism clicks. If a cable does not install easily, make sure it is correctly oriented.
For detailed instructions on the cable type, see the cable manufacturer’s
documentation.
2. Repeat Step 1 for the remaining transceivers, as required.
The cables used in trunking groups must meet specific requirements. For a list of these
requirements, see the Fabric OS administrator’s guide.

Verify the configuration
To confirm that the switch is configured and ready for use:
1. Check the LEDs to verify that all components are functional. For information about
LED patterns, see Interpreting LED activity on page 69.
2. Issue the switchshow command from the workstation. This command provides
information about the switch and port status.
3. Issue the fabricshow command from the workstation. This command provides
general information about the fabric.
Back up the configuration
HP recommends regular backups to ensure that a recent configuration is available.
To back up the switch configuration to an FTP ser ver:
1. Issue the configupload command.
2. Follow the prompts.
The command uploads the switch configuration to the server, making it available for
downloading to a replacement switch, if necessary. For detailed instructions on backing

Powering on and off
The following sections provide information on powering specific SAN Switch models
on and off.
4/8 and 4/16 SAN Switch models
To power on:
1. Connect one end of the power cord to the AC inlet on the switch; connect the
other end to a power source.
2. Set the AC power switch to I.
The switch runs POST each time it is powered on, reset, or rebooted. POST requires
approximately three minutes.
To power off:
1. Set the AC power switch to O.
2. Remove the power cords from the power sources.
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.
4/32, 4/32B and 4/64 SAN Switch models
Connect one or both power cords to the AC power inlets on the switch; connect the other
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 both AC power switches 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 states the next time the switch is powered o n.

Managing SAN Switches from a single management
station
A management station connected to one switch via Ethernet can also be used to manag e
other switches connected to the first switch via FC. To do so, set the gateway address
of the first switch to the gateway address of the subnet that the first switch resides on.
Then, set the FC gateway address of each of the other switches to the FCIP address of
the first switch. (See Table 8 for an example of address sets for a management station
with three switches).
NOTE:
The disadvantage of this method is that the management station can only communicate
with the switches.
System activity and status can be determined through the LEDs on the switch. There are
three possibl
e LED states that display either green or amber:
• Asteadylight
• Aflashinglight
• No light
LEDs display either green or amber colors. A steady green light indicates a healthy
state. Sometimes, the LEDs flash any of the colors during boot, POST, or other diagnostic
tests. This is normal; it does not indicate a problem unless the LEDs do not indicate a
healthy sta
te after all boot processes and diagnostic tests are complete.
4/8 and 4/16 SAN Switch LEDs

Diagnostic tests
In addition to POST, Fabric OS includes diagnostic tests to help troubleshoot the
hardware and firmware. This includes tests of internal connections and circuitry, fixed
media, and transceivers and cables.
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 por ts to be
connected by external cables to allow diagnostics to verify the serializer/deserializer
interface, transceiver, and cable.
