v To avoid hazardous conditions due to uneven mechanical loading, always install

the heaviest devices in the bottom of the rack cabinet. Always install servers and optional devices starting from the bottom of the rack cabinet.

v Rack-mounted devices are not to be used as shelves or work spaces. Do not

place objects on top of rack-mounted devices.

v Each rack cabinet might have more than one power cord. Be sure to disconnect

all power cords in the rack cabinet when directed to disconnect power during servicing.

v Connect all devices installed in a rack cabinet to power devices installed in the

same rack cabinet. Do not plug a power cord from a device installed in one rack cabinet into a power device installed in a different rack cabinet.

v An electrical outlet that is not correctly wired could place hazardous voltage on

the metal parts of the system or the devices that attach to the system. It is the responsibility of the customer to ensure that the outlet is correctly wired and grounded to prevent an electrical shock.

(R001 part 1 of 2) CAUTION:

v Do not install a unit in a rack where the internal rack ambient temperatures will

exceed the manufacturer’s recommended ambient temperature for all your rack-mounted devices.

v Do not install a unit in a rack where the air flow is compromised. Ensure that air

flow is not blocked or reduced on any side, front, or back of a unit used for air flow through the unit.

v Consideration should be given to the connection of the equipment to the supply

circuit so that overloading of the circuits does not compromise the supply wiring or overcurrent protection. To provide the correct power connection to a rack, refer to the rating labels located on the equipment in the rack to determine the total power requirement of the supply circuit.

v (For sliding drawers) Do not pull out or install any drawer or feature if the rack

– If the rack cabinet you are relocating is part of a suite of rack cabinets,

detach the rack cabinet from the suite.

– Inspect the route that you plan to take when moving the rack to

eliminate potential hazards.

– Verify that the route that you choose can support the weight of the

loaded rack cabinet. Refer to the documentation that came with your

rack cabinet for the weight of a loaded rack cabinet. – Verify that all door openings are at least 760 x 2030 mm (30 x 80 in.). – Ensure that all devices, shelves, drawers, doors, and cables are secure. – Ensure that the four leveling pads are raised to their highest position. – Ensure that there is no stabilizer bracket installed on the rack cabinet

during movement. – Do not use a ramp inclined at more than 10 degrees. – Once the rack cabinet is in the new location, do the following:

- Lower the four leveling pads.

- Install stabilizer brackets on the rack cabinet.

- If you removed any devices from the rack cabinet, repopulate the rack cabinet from the lowest position to the highest position.

– If a long distance relocation is required, restore the rack cabinet to the

configuration of the rack cabinet as you received it. Pack the rack cabinet in the original packaging material, or equivalent. Also, lower the leveling pads to raise the casters off of the pallet and bolt the rack cabinet to the pallet.

Management ports

An RJ-45 serial port (2 in Figure 1 on page 4) and a 10/100 BaseT Ethernet port (3) are included on the router for management purposes. The serial connector is for initial IP address configuration and for recovery of the router to its factory default settings should Flash memory contents be lost. It is not intended for normal administration or maintenance functions. An RJ-45 serial cable is provided with the router for management through this serial connection. An RJ-45 to DB9 adaptor is also provided with the cable.

An Ethernet cable can be used to connect the Ethernet port directly to a management workstation or to an Ethernet network that includes the management workstation. There are two LEDs on the Ethernet management port. One LED indicates link status, and the other indicates the speed (10 Mb/sec or 100 Mb/sec). See “LEDs on the port side of the router” on page 30 for more details on these LEDs. The TCP/IP address for the Ethernet management port can be configured from the serial port or directly from the Ethernet port itself.

Fibre Channel ports

| | |

The standard router has two physical Fibre Channel ports (4 in Figure 1 on page

4), numbered 0 and 1, that are enabled in this model. The next 14 physical ports (2-15) can be enabled with an upgrade license. An LED next to the port number indicates the port status. See “LEDs on the port side of the router” on page 30 for more details on these LEDs. The ports support Fibre Channel Routing services with link speeds up to 1-, 2-, or 4-Gbps. The ports are able to auto-negotiate to the maximum link speed. A number of different small form-factor pluggable (SFP) optical transceivers are compatible with these ports. Contact your IBM representative for more information on SFPs for this product.

Ethernet ports

Two GbE ports (5 in Figure 1 on page 4) numbered GE0 and GE1 support the FCIP and Fibre Channel Routing Services features with link speeds up to 50 Mbps

| |

(up to 1 Gbps with upgrade license). Each GbE port can each support one FCIP tunnel (eight with upgrade license). Each FCIP tunnel is represented and managed as an Fibre Channel E_Port. Fibre Channel Routing Services functionality can be used over the FCIP link. Fabrics connected through FCIP merge if the ports are configured as VE_Ports, and do not merge if they are configured as VEX_Ports. If VE_Ports are used in an Fibre Channel Routing Services backbone fabric configuration, then the backbone fabric merges but the EX_Port attached to edge fabrics do not merge. For more information see the Fabric OS Administrator’s Guide.

System status and power LEDs

Two LEDs (6 in Figure 1 on page 4) display an indication of the overall status of the product. The System Status LED (the top LED) provides information on the current status of the router. The System Power LED (the lower LED) indicates whether the product is on, and the status of the power supplies. See “LEDs on the port side of the router” on page 30 for more details on these LEDs.

IP address, WWN pull-out tab

The pull-out tab (7 in Figure 1 on page 4) provides a space to record the router IP address after you change it from the factory default. See “Setting the router IP address” on page 20 for instructions on setting the IP address. The tab also contains the world wide name (WWN) of the router and its serial number.

Attention: Do not connect the router to the network until you perform one of

the following steps:

v Set the internet protocol (IP) address. v Verify that the default IP address does not conflict with the existing IP

addresses in the same network.

Chapter 2. Installing and configuring the router 17

Page 46

Cabling and setting up the router

You must configure the router before it can operate within a network and fabric. This section provides the basic steps required for the initial setup of the router. For instructions on configuring the router to operate in a network containing switches from other vendors, refer to the Fabric OS Administrator’s Guide.

For more information about the commands used in these procedures, refer to the Fabric OS Command Reference.

Planning for cable management

Attention: The minimum bend radius for Cat5 and Cat6 copper cables and 50

micron cable is 51 mm (2 in.) under full tensile load and 30.5 mm (1.2 in.) with no tensile load. Because they can be easily overtightened, tie wraps are not recommended for use with optical cables.

Cables can be organized and managed in a variety of ways: for example, using cable channels on the sides of the cabinet or patch panels to minimize cable management. A list of recommendations follows:

v Plan for rack space required for cable management before installing the router. v Leave at least 1 meter (3.28 ft) of slack for each port cable. This provides room

to remove and replace the router, allows for inadvertent movement of the rack, and helps prevent the cables from being bent to less than the minimum bend radius.

v For easier maintenance, label the fiber optic cables and record the devices to

which they are connected.

v Keep LEDs visible by routing port cables and other cables away from the LEDs. v Do not use tie wraps on fiber optic cables, because wraps can be easily

overtightened and can damage the optic fibers.

Items required for setup

The following items are required for configuring and connecting the router for use in a network and fabric:

v The router, installed and connected to a power source v Workstation with an installed terminal emulator, such as HyperTerminal v Available IP address and corresponding subnet mask and gateway address v Serial cable (provided) v SFP transceivers and compatible fiber cables, as required v Access to an FTP server for backing up or downloading the router configuration

Setting up the router

Follow the steps described in the next sections to set up your router.

v “Providing power to the router” on page 19 v “Creating a serial connection” on page 19 v “Setting the router IP address” on page 20 v “Creating an Ethernet connection and logging in” on page 21 v “Setting the router domain ID” on page 21 v “Installing SFP transceivers” on page 21 v “Connecting cables” on page 22 v “Setting the router date and time” on page 22

Providing power to the router

DANGER

electrical outlet that is not correctly wired could place

Follow these steps to provide power to the router.

1. Connect the power cords to the receptacles on the two power supplies on the back of the router.

Attention: Ensure that the power cables are routed so that they are not

pinched or exposed to stress when the router is moved on the slide-rails. Ensure that the cords have a minimum service loop of 15 cm (6 in.) available at the connection to the router.

2. Connect the other end of the power cords to the two power sources.

Attention: To protect against AC failure, connect the power cords to outlets on

separate circuits.

3. Press the "|” area of the power switch. The power supply LEDs display amber, and the router begins running the power on self-test (POST). The router requires one to three minutes to boot and complete the POST process. The LED will then change to green.

Power is supplied to the router as soon as the first power supply is

Note:

connected and turned on.

Attention: All ports on the router are by default, persistently disabled to avoid

unintentional merging of fabrics. Before you can successfully configure FCIP tunnels, you must enable the ports. When the blade is first powered up, all port status LEDs will flash amber. This is normal. Use the portCfgShow command to view the status of the ports. Use the portCfgPersistentEnable command to enable a port. Refer to the Fabric OS Administrator’s Guide and the Fabric OS

Command Reference for more information on these commands.

4. After POST is complete, verify that the System Status and Power Status LEDs (see 6 in Figure 1 on page 4) display steady green.

For more information about the LEDs and their status during POST, refer to “Interpreting LED activity” on page 30.

Creating a serial connection

You will perform all basic configuration tasks in this guide using a serial connection. To create a serial connection to the switch, complete the following steps:

1. Remove the plug from the serial port and insert the serial cable provided with the router.

Chapter 2. Installing and configuring the router 19

Page 48

2. Connect the serial cable to the serial port on the switch and to an RS-232 serial port on the workstation.

the serial port on the workstation is RJ-45 instead of RS-232, remove the

If adapter on the end of the serial cable and insert the exposed RJ-45 connector into the RJ-45 serial port on the workstation.

3. Disable any serial communication programs running on the workstation.

4. Open a terminal emulator application (such as HyperTerminal on a PC, or TERM, TIP, or Kermit in a UNIX® environment), and configure the application as follows:

v In a Windows® environment:

Bits per second 9600 Databits 8 Parity None Stop bits 1 Flow control None

v In a UNIX environment, enter the following string at the prompt:

tip /dev/ttyb -9600

Connecting to the router using the serial connection

Perform the following steps to log in to the router through the serial connection.

1. Verify that the router has completed POST. When POST is complete, the port status and power and status LEDs return to a standard healthy state; for information about LED patterns, see “Interpreting LED activity” on page 30.

2. When the terminal emulator application stops reporting information, press Enter to display the login prompt.

3. Log in to the router as admin, using the default password: password. Yo u will be prompted to change the default passwords at initial login.

Setting the router IP address

Perform the following steps to replace the default IP address and related information.

1. Enter the ipAddrSet command at the terminal emulator application prompt, and enter the requested information at the prompts:

switch:admin> ipaddrset Ethernet IP Address [10.77.77.77]:10.32.53.47 Ethernet Subnetmask [255.0.0.0]:255.255.240.0 Fibre Channel IP Address [0.0.0.0]: 20.32.233.48 Fibre Channel Subnetmask [0.0.0.0]: 255.255.230.0 Gateway IP Address [0.0.0.0]:10.32.48.1 IP address is being changed...Done. Committing configuration...Done. switch:admin>

2. Optionally, verify that the address was correctly set by entering the

ipAddrShow command at the prompt.

3. Record the IP address on the pull out tab (7 in Figure 1 on page 4).

4. If the serial port is no longer required, log out of the serial console, remove the serial cable, and replace the plug in the serial port.

Creating an Ethernet connection and logging in

Create an Ethernet connection to the router by completing the following steps:

1. Remove the plug from the Ethernet port (see 3 in Figure 1 on page 4

2. Insert one end of an Ethernet cable into the Ethernet port.

3. Connect the other end to the workstation (or to an Ethernet network containing the workstation).

The router can now be accessed remotely using command line or Web Tools. Ensure that the router is not being modified from any other connections during the configuration process.

Setting the router domain ID

Perform the following steps to set the router domain ID.

1. Log on to the router through Telnet, using the admin account.

2. Modify the domain ID if required. The default domain ID is 1. If the router is not powered on until after it is

connected to the fabric and the default domain ID is already in use, the domain ID for the new router is automatically reset to a unique value. If the router is connected to the fabric after it has been powered on and the default domain ID is already in use, the fabric will segment. To find the domain IDs that are currently in use, run the fabricShow command on another router in the fabric.

a. Disable the router by entering the switchDisable command. b. Enter the configure command. The command prompts will display

sequentially; enter a new value or press Enter to accept each default value.

c. Enter y after the "Fabric param" prompt:

Fabric param (yes, y, no, n): [no] y

d. Enter a unique domain ID (such as the domain ID used by the previous

router, if still available):

Domain: (1..239) [1] 3

e. Complete the remaining prompts or press Ctrl-D to accept the remaining

settings without completing all the prompts.

f. Re-enable the router by entering the switchEnable command.

Each switch in the fabric must have a unique domain ID. The default domain ID is

1. If the router is not powered on until after it is connected to the fabric and the

default domain ID is already in use, the domain ID for the new router is automatically reset to a unique value. If the router is connected to the fabric after it has been powered on and the default domain ID is already in use, the fabric will segment. To find the domain IDs that are currently in use, run the fabricShow command on another router in the fabric.

Installing SFP transceivers

Install the SFP transceivers in the Fibre Channel ports, as required. The ports selected for use in trunking groups must meet specific requirements. For a list of these requirements, see the Fabric OS Administrator’s Guide.

Attention: The transceivers are keyed to ensure correct orientation. If a

transceiver does not install easily, ensure that it is correctly oriented.

To install SFP transceivers, complete the following steps:

1. Remove the protective plugs from the ports to be used.

Chapter 2. Installing and configuring the router 21

Page 50

2. Position a transceiver so that it is oriented correctly and insert it into a port until

3. Repeat for the remaining ports, as required.

Connecting cables

Attention: A 50-micron cable should not be bent to a radius less than 5 cm (2 in.)

under full tensile load and 3 cm (1.2 in.) with no tensile load. Tie wraps are not recommended for optical cables because they can be easily overtightened.

1. Orient a cable connector so that the key (the ridge on one side of connector)

from the workstation.

Setting the router date and time

The date and time router settings are used for logging events. Router operation does not depend on the date and time; a router with incorrect date or time values still functions properly. You can synchronize the local time of the principal or primary fabric configuration server (FCS) router to that of an external Network Time Protocol (NTP) server.

Perform the following steps to set the date and time of the router.

Setting the date

1. Log in to the router as admin.

2. Enter the date command, using the following syntax:

date "MMDDhhmm[CC]YY"

The values represent the following:

v MM is the month (01-12) v DD is the date (01-31) v hh is the hour (00-23) v mm is minutes (00-59) v CC is the century (19-20) v YY is the year (00-99)

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.

Setting time zones

You can set the time zone for a switch by name. You can specify the setting using country and city or time zone parameters. If the time zone is not set with the new options, the switch retains the offset time zone settings. The tsTimeZone command also includes an option to revert to the prior time zone format. For more information about the tstimezone [--old] option, see the Fabric OS Command Reference Manual.

You can set the time zone for a switch using the tsTimeZone command. The

tsTimeZone command allows you to perform the following tasks:

v Display all of the time zones supported in the firmware v Set the time zone based on a country and city combination or based on a time

zone ID such as PST

time zone setting has the following characteristics:

The

v Yo u can view the time zone settings. However, only those with administrative

permissions can set the time zones.

v The tsTimeZone setting automatically adjusts for Daylight Savings Time. v Changing the time zone on a switch updates the local time zone setup and is

reflected in local time calculations.

v By default, all switches are in the GMT time zone (0,0). If all switches in a fabric

are in one time zone, it is possible for you to keep the time zone setup at the default setting.

v System services that have already started will reflect the time zone changes only

after the next reboot.

v Time zone settings persist across failover for high availability.

following procedure describes how to set the time zone for a switch. Yo u must

The perform the procedure on all switches for which the time zone must be set. However, you only need to set the time zone once on each switch, because the value is written to nonvolatile memory.

1. If you are not already logged into the switch; do so now using the default password, which is password.

2. Enter the tsTimeZone command as follows:

switch:admin> tstimezone [--interactive]/ [, timezone_fmt]

Use timeZone_fmt to set the time zone by Country/City or by time zone ID, such as PST. The following example shows how to display the current time zone setup and how to change the time zone to US/Central.

switch:admin> tstimezone Time Zone : US/Pacific switch:admin> tstimezone US/Central switch:admin> tstimezone Time Zone : US/Central

The following procedure describes how to set the current time zone using interactive mode to Pacific Standard Time.

Chapter 2. Installing and configuring the router 23

Page 52

1. Type the tsTimeZone command as follows:

switch:admin> tstimezone --interactive

2. Yo u are prompted to select a general location.

Please identify a location so that time zone rules can be set correctly.

3. Enter the appropriate number or Ctrl-D to quit.

4. At the prompt, select a country location.

5. At the prompt, enter the appropriate number to specify the time zone region or

Ctrl-D to quit.

Synchronizing local time using NTP

You can synchronize the local time of the principal or primary fabric configuration server (FCS) switch to a maximum of eight external network time protocol (NTP) servers. To keep the time in your SAN current, it is recommended that the principal or primary FCS switch has its time synchronized with at least one external NTP server. The other switches in the fabric will automatically take their time from the principal or primary FCS switch.

All switches in the fabric maintain the current clock server value in non-volatile memory. By default, this value is the local clock server <LOCL> of the principal or primary FCS switch. Changes to the clock server value on the principal or primary FCS switch are propagated to all switches in the fabric.

When a new switch enters the fabric, the time server daemon of the principal or primary FCS switch sends out the addresses of all existing clock servers and the time to the new switch. If a switch with FOS 5.3.0 or later has entered the fabric it will be able to store the list and the active servers; pre-5.3.0 Fabric OS switches will ignore the new list parameter in the payload and will update only the active server address.

For more information on using an NTP server, and IPv6 considerations, see the Fabric OS Administrator’s Guide.

1. If you are not already logged into the switch; do so now using the default password, which is password.

2. Enter the tsClockServer command:

switch:admin> tsclockserver "<ntp1;ntp2>"

where ntp1 is the IP address or DNS name of the first NTP server, which the switch must be able to access. The second ntp2 is the second NTP server and is optional. The operand “<ntp1;ntp2>” is optional; by default, this value is LOCL, which uses the local clock of the principal or primary switch as the clock server.

The tsClockServer command accepts multiple server addresses in either IPv4, IPv6, or DNS name formats. When multiple NTP server addresses are passed,

tsClockServer sets the first obtainable address as the active NTP server. The

others will be stored as backup servers that can take over if the active NTP server fails. The principal or primary FCS switch synchronizes its time with the NTP server every 64 seconds.

switch are propagated to all switches in the fabric.

Configuring FCIP and Fibre Channel routing services

The ports on the router are initially set to persistently disabled. Once the router is powered on, the port LEDs will flash amber until they are enabled. This is normal. If you want to enable the FC ports as a standard E_Port or F_port, use the

portCfgPersistentEnable command to enable the ports. If you are using the FC

ports as EX_Ports you must configure the Fibre Channel Routing Services feature prior to enabling the ports. The Ethernet ports can only be used after you have configured FCIP and enabled the VE_Ports. See the Using the FC-FC Routing

Service and Using the FCIP Tunneling Service chapters of the Fabric OS Administrator's Guide for detailed instructions on configuring the Fibre Channel

Router ports and GbE ports on the router.

Verifying correct operation of the router

To verify the correct operation of the router, complete these steps:

1. Check the LEDs to verify that all components are functional. For information about LED patterns, refer to “Interpreting LED activity” on page 30.

2. Run the portCfgPersistntEnable command to activate the FC ports for FC operation.

3. Verify the correct operation of the router by entering the switchshow command from the workstation. This command provides information about the router and its port status, such as in the example below.

4. Verify the correct operation of the router in the fabric by entering the

fabricshow command from the workstation. This command provides general

information about the fabric.

Backing up the configuration

You should save all key configuration data for the router—including license key information—and upload it to a FTP server for emergency reference. Back up the configuration on a routine basis to ensure that a complete and current configuration is available if needed.

After configurations are complete, back up the configuration by entering the

configUpload command.

26 SAN04B-R Installation, Service, and User’s Guide

Page 55

The configUpload command uploads the router configuration to the server so that it is available for downloading to a replacement router, if necessary. For specific instructions about how to back up and restore the configuration, see the Maintaining

Configurations chapter in the Fabric OS Administrator’s Guide. The switchShow, fabricShow, and configUpload commands are described in detail in the Fabric OS

Command Reference.

Viewing, adding, and removing license keys (optional)

Depending on what has been ordered, certain licenses are factory-installed on the router. Feature licenses might be included as a paperpack item in the router shipping carton. This paperpack will provide you with keys to unlock the features. You can also purchase licenses separately from IBM.

Attention: Retain this paperpack in a safe place. The transaction keys in the paperpack are required for activation of optional features on the router. Once a feature is activated, its activation key is associated with a specific product WWN and serial number.

To determine which licenses are currently enabled, enter the licenseShow command. Yo u need the WWN for the router to obtain and activate licenses; you can get the WWN by using the switchShow command. Refer to the following sections for information about viewing the current licenses, adding a license, or removing a license. For more information on the following procedures, see the Fabric OS Administrator’s Guide and the Fabric OS Command Reference.

Viewing current license keys

To view the licenses that are currently enabled on the router, complete the following steps.

1. Log in as admin.

2. Enter the licenseShow command. A list of the enabled licenses and their features is displayed, as in the following example.

Table 7. Viewing current licenses

APswitch:admin> licenseshow License Key: bQebzeRdScRfc0iK

Zoning license

APswitch:admin>

Adding a license key

Licenses for additional functionality may be purchased as feature codes through IBM. Contact your IBM representative for more information. You will need to supply IBM with the WWN to obtain a transaction key, which is sent in a paperpack. To obtain the license key, follow the instructions included in the paperpack. The transaction key and the router wwn or product serial number are required to obtain the license key.

To add a license to the router, complete the following steps.

1. Log in as admin.

2. Enter the switchShow command to obtain the WWN of your router.

Chapter 2. Installing and configuring the router 27

Page 56

The license key is a string of approximately 16 uppercase and lowercase letters and digits. Case is significant. The key is an encrypted form of the system WWN and the products licensed to run on this system.

3. Enter the licenseAdd command, followed by the license key enclosed in quotation marks, as shown in the following example.

APswitch:admin> licenseadd "aBcDeFGh12345K" License key aBcDeFGh12345 added

Enter the license key into the system exactly as issued. If you enter it incorrectly, the license might be accepted, but it will not function.

4. After entering the license key, use the licenseShow command to verify that it is valid. If a licensed product is not displayed, the license is invalid.

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

Note:

the system does not need to be rebooted.

Removing a license key

To remove a license from the router, complete the following steps.

1. Log in as admin.

2. Enter the licenseRemove command, followed by the license key enclosed in quotation marks, as in the following example.

APswitch:admin> licenseremove "bQebzbRdScRfc0iK" removing license key "bQebzbRdScRfc0iK"

3. Save the license key information in case you want to reinstall it in the future.

4. After removing the license key, the router must be rebooted.

5. Use the licenseShow command to verify that the license key has been removed.

Chapter 3. Managing the router and monitoring components

The router is engineered for reliability and requires no routine operational maintenance. However, this chapter provides information about determining the overall status of the system and each of its components using LEDs and CLI commands.

This chapter provides the following information:

v “Managing the router” v “Interpreting LED activity” on page 30 v “Interpreting POST results” on page 36 v “Diagnostics and troubleshooting” on page 37

Managing the router

You can use the management functions built into the router to monitor the fabric topology, port status, physical status, and other information to help you analyze router performance and to accelerate system debugging.

Note: The router automatically performs power-on self-test (POST) each time it is

turned on. Any errors are recorded in the error log. For more information about POST, see “Interpreting POST results” on page 36.

You can manage the router using any of the management options listed in Table 8.

Interpreting LED activity

System activity and status can be determined through the activity of the LEDs on the router. LEDs are located on both the port side and the nonport side of the router.

There are three possible LED states: no light, a steady light, and a flashing light. The steady lights and flashing lights can be green or amber.

The status LEDs may display amber or flash during boot, POST, or other diagnostic tests. This is normal and does not indicate a problem unless all boot processes and diagnostic tests are complete, and the LEDs continue to indicate a problem status.

Attention: All ports on the router are by default, persistently disabled to avoid

Reference Manual for more information on these commands.

LEDs on the port side of the router

The port side of the router has the following LEDs (see Figure 8 on page 31). Refer to the appropriate section for information about how to interpret the LED patterns.

v “Power status LED patterns” on page 32 v “System status LED patterns” on page 32 v “Ethernet management port LED patterns” on page 33 v “Port status LED patterns” on page 33

Page 64

Interpreting POST results

POST is a system check that is performed each time the router is powered on, rebooted, or reset, and during which the LEDs flash different colors.

To determine whether POST completed successfully and whether any errors were detected:

v Verify that the LEDs on the router indicate that all components are healthy (LED

patterns are described in the tables in “Interpreting LED activity” on page 30). If one or more LEDs do not display a healthy state:

– Verify that the LEDs are not set to "beacon" (this can be determined through

the switchShow command or Web Tools). For information about how to turn beaconing on and off, see the Fabric OS Administrator's Guide or the Web Tools Administrator's Guide.

– Follow the recommended action for the observed LED behavior, as listed in

the tables in “Interpreting LED activity” on page 30.

Verify that diagShow command displays that the diagnostic status for all ports in

the router is OK.

v Review the system log for errors. Errors detected during POST are written to the

system log, which is viewed using the errShow command. For more information about this command, see the Fabric OS Command Reference. For information about specific error messages, see the Fabric OS Error Message Reference.

POST and boot specifications

The router runs POST by default each time it is powered on. It typically requires from 1 to 3 minutes to boot and complete POST. POST can be skipped after subsequent reboots by entering the fastBoot command. For more information about this command, see the Fabric OS Command Reference Manual.

POST

The success/fail results of the diagnostic tests that run during POST can be monitored through LED activity, the error log, or a command line interface.

POST includes the following tasks:

1. Running preliminary POST diagnostics

2. Initializing the operating system

3. Initializing the hardware

4. Running diagnostic tests on several functions, including circuitry, port functionality, memory, statistics counters, and serialization

Boot

In addition to POST, boot includes the following tasks after POST is complete:

1. Performing universal port configuration

2. Initializing links

3. Analyzing the fabric. If any ports are connected to other switches, the router participates in a fabric configuration.

4. Obtaining a domain ID and assigning port addresses

5. Constructing unicast routing tables

6. Enabling normal port operation

36 SAN04B-R Installation, Service, and User’s Guide

Page 65

Diagnostics and troubleshooting

The router is designed for high availability and low failure. It does not require any regular physical maintenance.

Diagnostic tests

In addition to POST, Fabric OS includes diagnostic tests to help you troubleshoot the hardware and 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 router. Some tests require the ports to be connected by external cables, to allow diagnostics to verify the serializer/deserializer interface, transceiver, and cable. Some tests require loop back plugs.

Diagnostic tests are run at link speeds of 1-Gb/sec, 2-Gb/sec, and 4-Gb/sec. For information about specific diagnostic tests, see the Fabric OS Administrator's Guide.

Note: Diagnostic tests might temporarily lock the transmit and receive speed of the

links during diagnostic testing.

CLI commands for device status

This section lists a few CLI commands that you can use to obtain device status and perform diagnostics, as well as event and port log information for troubleshooting purposes. Refer to the Fabric OS Administrator’s Guide and the Fabric OS

Command Reference for details on these and other commands.

CRU status

You can log in to the router as administrator and use different commands to display the overall status of the router, as well as the status of individual components. Use the following commands to display the status and configuration of various components:

v switchStatusShow - displays the overall status of the router v portShow - displays the configuration and status of an individual port v tempShow - displays temperature of the router v fanShow - displays the status of individual fans v psShow - displays the status of the specified power supply v errShow - displays the router event log v portLogShow - displays the events specific to each port

The power supplies and fan assemblies are customer replaceable units (CRUs), which can be replaced without the use of special tools. To determine the status of these CRUs, use the following diagnostic procedures. Follow the procedures in Chapter 4, “Removing and replacing CRUs,” on page 39 if you determine that any CRUs are defective.

Power supplies

The two power supplies, power supply #1 (4 in Figure 10 on page 40) and power supply #2 (3), are hot-swappable. They are identical and fit into either power supply slot. Use any of the following methods to determine whether a power supply needs to be replaced:

v Check the power supply status LED (see “Power status LED patterns” on page

32).

7. Connect the power cord to the power supply and then press the AC power switch to ″|″ (on).

8. Verify that the LED on the new power supply displays a steady green light while the router is operating. If the LED is not green, ensure that the power supply is securely installed, the power plug is secure, and the primary power is available.

9. Optionally, enter psShow at the command line prompt to view the power supply status. For more information about this command, refer to the Fabric OS Command Reference.

Replacing a fan assembly

Attention: Before installing, removing, or replacing any component, read and

follow the “Safety notices and labels” on page xv.

Use this procedure to remove and replace a fan assembly in the router. The router can continue operating during the replacement procedure if the other fan assemblies continue to operate and the replacement is completed within 2 minutes. This will ensure correct air pressure inside the chassis for the router cooling requirements.

Attention: The fans in the fan assembly will continue to spin after they are

removed from power. Wait approximately five seconds after disengaging a fan assembly from the chassis before removing it entirely from the chassis. This will allow the spinning fan blades to slow or stop completely.

The router has three fan assembly slots, and each fan assembly contains two fans. The fan assemblies are interchangeable and can be inserted into any of the fan assembly slots (see Figure 12).

To remove and replace SFP modules from the router, complete the appropriate steps below, depending on the type of SFP used. You must first verify that there is no activity on the router, then remove the cables, and finally remove the SFPs. Once you have installed the new SFPs, you must connect the cables and then verify that the SFP is functioning correctly.

Removing SFP modules

If the router is already configured, replace only one SFP at a time to avoid mixing up the cables and their associated ports.

In the illustrations below, the SFPs and cables are shown outside of the

Note:

router’s ports for clarity, and are not oriented in the direction that they are installed in the router. The ports are also shown installed in a generic unit with a double row of ports, while this router has only a single row of ports.

Removing fiber optic cables:

Attention: Do not bend a fibre cable to a radius less than 5 cm (2 in.); you can

damage the cable. Tie wraps are not recommended for optical cables because they can be easily overtightened, causing damage to the cable.

Procedure

Follow these steps and the links to more detailed instructions to replace the router.

Removing the router

1. Verify that the replacement router is the correct part number (45W0154).

2. Verify that you know where the configuration backup file is stored for restoring the configuration once the router replacement has been completed.

3. If you have not done so already, turn off the power to the router. (See “Powering off the router” on page 38.) If you cannot run the sysShutdown command, just switch off the two power supplies on the non-port side of the router.

4. Unplug the power cords from the two power supplies. If desired for better access, unplug the other end of the power cords from the power sources. Set the power cords aside for use with the replacement router.

5. If you have not done so already, label each cable to simplify reconnecting the cables to the correct ports. Make a written record of the cable configurations if needed.

6. From the port side of the router, remove each cable one at a time from its SFP (See “Removing fiber optic cables” on page 46).

7. From the port side of the router, remove each SFP. (See “Removing, and installing SFPs” on page 44 for detailed instructions, if needed.) Set the SFPs aside for later installation in the new router. Keep the two GbE SFPs separate from the other SFPs to ensure installation in the correct ports.

8. Remove the router from the rack. Verify and remove any mounting hardware or screws that prevent the router from being removed from the cabinet. If the router is installed on sliding rails, press the release mechanism on the rails to allow full removal of the router and inner rails.

9. Remove the rail hardware from the router. Set it aside for attachment to the new router, making notes as necessary for the correct placement of parts. (Refer to “Installing the router in a cabinet” on page 12 for illustrations and complete rack mount instructions.)

10. Set the router aside for later return to IBM, following the instructions included with the replacement router.

Installing the CRU router

Follow these steps to install the replacement for the router you removed earlier.

1. Follow any instructions included with the CRU related to attaching labels, if any.

2. Attach the rail hardware to the new router. Refer to your notes or “Installing the router in a cabinet” on page 12, as needed.

3. Slide the router into the rails attached to the cabinet.

4. Attach any screws or hardware that you removed earlier to allow removal of the original router.

5. Install the SFPs and connect the Fibre Channel cables, using the labels and notes you made during the removal steps.

6. Provide power to the router. (Follow the instructions in “Providing power to the router” on page 19.) The router will take several minutes to complete POST.

7. Create a serial connection to the router. (Follow the instructions in “Creating a serial connection” on page 19.)

8. Set the router IP address. (Follow the instructions in “Setting the router IP address” on page 20.)

54 SAN04B-R Installation, Service, and User’s Guide

Page 83

9. Connect the Ethernet cable to the Ethernet management port. (See 3 in Figure 1 on page 4.)

10. Verify that the ftp server where the backup configuration file is stored is accessible to the router.

11. Use the configDownload command to restore the configuration saved for the

original chassis. (Refer to the Maintaining Configurations chapter in the Fabric

OS Administrator’s Guide for details.)

Once you have completed the replacement procedures, follow the instructions included in the CRU shipment to return the faulty router to IBM.

Changing the router serial number

Attention: This procedure is to be used only if a router has failed and it is being replaced by a new router.

In the event of a hardware failure, the replacement router should be configured to display the serial number of the original failed router, in order to maintain continuity in the IBM service system.
