Rack safety

Rack installation

DANGER

Observe

the following precautions when working on or around your IT rack system:

v Heavy equipment—personal injury or equipment damage might result if

mishandled.

v Always lower the leveling pads on the rack cabinet.

v Always install stabilizer brackets on the rack cabinet.

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

stabilizer brackets are not attached to the rack. Do not pull out more than one drawer at a time. The rack might become unstable if you pull out more than one drawer at a time.

v (For fixed drawers) This drawer is a fixed drawer and must not be moved for

servicing unless specified by the manufacturer. Attempting to move the drawer partially or completely out of the rack might cause the rack to become unstable or cause the drawer to fall out of the rack.

CAUTION: Removing components from the upper positions in the rack cabinet improves rack stability during relocation. Follow these general guidelines whenever you relocate a populated rack cabinet within a room or building:

v Reduce the weight of the rack cabinet by removing equipment starting at

the top of the rack cabinet. When possible, restore the rack cabinet to the

configuration of the rack cabinet as you received it. If this configuration is

not known, you must do the following:

– Remove all devices in the 32U position and above.

– Ensure that the heaviest devices are installed in the bottom of the rack

cabinet.

– Ensure that there are no empty U-levels between devices installed in the

rack cabinet below the 32U level.

– 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.

Chapter 1. Introducing the SAN40B-4 switch

The IBM System Storage SAN40B-4 is an enterprise-class 8 Gbps Fibre Channel switch that is designed to handle the large-scale SAN requirements of an enterprise, and can also be used to address the SAN requirements of a small to medium-sized workgroup. It runs on the Fabric Operating System (Fabric OS) and is compatible with other IBM switches, which enables seamless connectivity into heterogeneous SAN environments. Because the switch is scalable through additional port activation, you can use it as a foundation switch for a small storage area network (SAN) and continue to use it as a building block as the SAN grows.

This chapter provides the following information:

v “Features and functions of the switch” v “Supported connectivity” on page 2 v “Port side of the switch” on page 2 v “Nonport side of the switch” on page 4 v “Additional port activation” on page 4 v “ISL Trunking groups” on page 5 v “Supported optional features” on page 5

Features and functions of the switch

The switch provides the following features and functions:

v 1U chassis–The chassis can be installed as a standalone unit or mounted in a

standard Electronic Industries Association (EIA) 19 in. (48.26 cm) cabinet.

or 8G speeds) between a pair of switches to be combined to form a single, logical ISL switch with a speed of up to 64 Gbits/sec (128 Gbits/sec full duplex) for optimal bandwidth utilization and load balancing.

v Fibre Channel Routing (FCR) service providing improved scalability and fault

isolation

v Advanced Zoning. v Intelligent management and monitoring with Web Tools, Fabric Watch, and

Performance Monitor.

v Adaptive Networking Services uses network intelligence to anticipate congestion

and to dynamically make adjustments in the fabric so that application traffic continues to flow

v Extended distance support enables full performance for native Fibre Channel

extension with support of up to 3000 km for native Fibre Channel.

v Dynamic Path Selection (DPS) optimizes fabric-wide performance and load

balancing by automatically routing data to the most efficient available path in the fabric.

v Frame filtering resources have been increased to provide expanded security for

up to 16,000 hardware zones. Hardware zoning is accomplished at the port level of the switch or by World Wide Name (WWN).

v Small Form-Factor Pluggable (SFP) optical transceivers support any combination

of Short Wave (SW), Long Wave (LW), or Extended Long Wave (ELW) optical media on a single switch.

Additional port activation

The switch can be purchased with 24, 32, or 40 licensed ports. As your needs increase, you can activate unlicensed ports by purchasing and installing the additional 8 port activation feature. After it has been installed, the license appears under the licenseShow command as Ports on Demand license.

The additional ports are ready to be unlocked in the switch firmware. The license might be part of the licensed paper pack supplied with switch software, or you can purchase the license separately from IBM, who will provide you with a key to unlock it.

4 SAN40B-4 Installation, Service, and User’s Guide

By default, ports 0 through 23 are enabled on the switch. To enable ports 24 through 31, install a Ports on Demand license key. To enable ports 32 through 39, install another Ports on Demand license.

After you have installed the license keys, you must enable the ports. You can do so without disrupting switch operation by using the portEnable command on each port individually. Alternatively, you can disable and reenable the switch to activate all ports simultaneously.

To install the additional port activation license, you can either use the supplied license key or generate a license key. Typically the switch is shipped with a paper pack that specifies the transaction key to use with the Software License Keys link.

Use this transaction key at the following Web site: http://www.ibm.com/servers/ storage/support/san.

1. On that page, from the Product list, select your product.

2. Select Download from the Support & downloads section.

3. From the page that is generated, select License request in the Tool/utility section.

4. Follow the instructions on that page to generate the key. Yo u can also use this site to generate other license keys for your switch.

ISL Trunking groups

The switch supports Interswitch Link (ISL) Trunking as a licensed feature. When this feature is enabled, you can create Trunked groups of up to 8 contiguous ports. This means that you can create up to five trunked groups that contain 8 ports each. The Fibre Channel ports on the switch are numbered from left to right and color-coded into groups of eight to indicate which ports you can combine into trunked groups.

Note: ISL Trunking is optional software that allows you to create trunking groups of

ISLs between adjacent switches. For more information about trunking, refer to the Fabric OS Administrator’s Guide.

Supported optional features

The switch supports the following optional software, which you can activate by purchasing the corresponding license key:

v Extended Fabric–allows implementation of long distance dynamic (LD) and long

distance static (LS) distance levels. This feature extends SAN fabrics beyond the Fibre Channel standard 10 km by optimizing the internal switch buffers to maintain performance on ISLs at distances up to 500 kilometers.

v Advanced Performance Monitor–provides Performance Monitoring capability to

help identify end-to-end bandwidth usage by host/target pairs and is designed to provide information for capacity planning.

v Trunking Activation–designed to enable Fibre Channel packets to be efficiently

distributed across multiple Inter-Switch connections (links) between two SAN b-type fabric switches, while preserving in-order delivery. ISL Trunking is supported between any of the supported 2, 4, or 8 Gbps b-type models. Both SAN b-type fabric switches must have ISL Trunking activated.

v Adaptive Networking– provides a set of capability allowing high priority

connections to obtain the bandwidth necessary for optimum performance, even in congested environments.

Chapter 1. Introducing the SAN40B-4 switch 5

v Integrated Routing–allows any port in the switch to be configured as an EX_port

supporting Fibre Channel Routing (FCR). This eliminates the need to use the SAN18B-R for FCR purposes, and also provides double the bandwidth for each FC Router (FCR) connection when connected to another 8 Gbps capable port

v FICON w/ CUP–designed to provide in-band management of the supported SAN

b-type switch, router, and supported IBM System z and zSeries servers. To enable in-band management on multiple switches and directors, each switch, router, or director must be configured with the appropriate FICON CUP feature. This support is designed to provide a single point of control for managing connectivity in active FICON I/O configurations.

addition, customers can order a set of optional features bundled into one

In orderable feature, the B40 Enterprise Package. This bundled feature consists of one of each of Trunking Activation, Advanced Performance Monitor, Adaptive Networking, and two 8-port activations.

For more information on the use of these features, refer to the Fabric OS Administrator’s Guide.

Installation and safety considerations

Use this section to prepare your site for a safe and successful installation.

Attention: Although the switch has been designed for customer installation and

replacement procedures, you must first ensure that the rack into which the switch is to be installed is also customer accessible. If it is not, then only trained personnel can install and service these switches in such a rack.

Attention: Read the “Safety and environmental notices” on page ix

before attempting any installation or maintenance procedures.

The switch can be installed either as a free-standing unit, or installed in an EIA cabinet, using an optional slide-rail rack mount kit. When mounting into a slide-rail rack, you can mount the chassis to slide from either the port side or the nonport side.

Electrical considerations

To install and operate the switch successfully, ensure the following:

v The primary outlet is correctly wired, protected by a circuit breaker, and grounded

in accordance with local electrical codes.

v The supply circuit, line fusing, and wire size are adequate, as specified by the

electrical rating on the switch nameplate.

v The power supply standards provided in “Power supply specifications” on page

38 are met.

Environment considerations

For successful installation and operation of the switch, ensure that the following environmental requirements are met:

v At a minimum, adequate cooling requires that you install the switch with the

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

v All equipment in the rack should force air in the same direction to avoid intaking

exhaust air.

v A minimum air flow of 47 cubic feet/minute (79.8 cubic meters/hour) available on

the nonport side of the switch.

v The ambient air temperature does not exceed 40° C (104° F) while the switch is

operating.

Cabinet considerations

Attention: See “Rack safety” on page xiv for danger and caution notices related

to product installations in racks or cabinets.

For successful installation and operation of the switch in a cabinet, ensure that the following cabinet requirements are met:

v The cabinet must be a standard EIA cabinet. v Plan a cabinet space that is 1 rack unit 4.45 cm (1.75 in) high, 48.3 cm (19 in.)

wide.

v Ground all equipment in the cabinet 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.

v Ensure that airflow and temperature requirements are met on an ongoing basis,

particularly if the switch is installed in a closed or multicabinet assembly.

v Verify that the additional weight of the switch does not exceed the cabinet’s

weight limits or unbalance the cabinet in any way.

v Secure the cabinet to ensure stability in case of unexpected movement, such as

an earthquake.

Installing a stand-alone switch

To install the switch as a stand-alone unit, use the following procedure:

1. Unpack the switch and verify the items listed in “Items included with the switch” on page 7

8 SAN40B-4 Installation, Service, and User’s Guide

2. Apply the adhesive rubber feet. Applying the rubber feet onto 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.

Place the switch on a flat, sturdy surface.

4. Provide power to the switch as described in “Powering the switch on and off” on page 21.

DANGER

electrical outlet that is not correctly wired could place

Note: Do not connect the switch 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.

Recommendations for cable management

Attention: The minimum bend radius for a 50 micron cable is 51 mm (2 in.) under

full tensile load and 30.5 mm (1.2 in.) with no tensile load.

14 SAN40B-4 Installation, Service, and User’s Guide

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. Following is a list of recommendations:

v Plan for rack space required for cable management before installing the switch. v Leave at least 1 meter (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.

v If you are using Brocade 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.

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 Use hook-and-loop fasteners to secure and organize fibre optic cables. Do not

use tie wraps on fiber optic cables, because wraps are easily overtightened and can damage the optic fibers.

Configuring the switch

You must configure the switch to ensure correct operation within a network and fabric. For instructions about how to configure the switch to operate in a fabric that contains switches from other vendors, refer to the Fabric OS Administrator's Guide.

For more information about the commands used in this procedure, refer to the Fabric OS Command Reference Manual.

Using the EZSwitch setup (optional)

Once you have set up the switch in a rack or as a stand-alone switch, it is time to give it power and a basic configuration. If you are going to use the switch in a single-switch setup, you can use EZSwitchSetup to complete the basic configuration. See the EZSwitchSetup CD, included with the accessory kit for more information. Yo u can also use the SAN40B-4 Quick Start Guide. If you do not want to use EZSwitch Setup, use the instructions in following sections.

Providing power to the switch

To provide power to the switch:

1. Connect the power cords to both power supplies, and then to power sources on separate circuits to protect against AC failure. Ensure that the cords have a minimum service loop of 15 cm (6 in.) available and are routed to avoid stress.

2. Power on the power supplies by flipping both AC switches to the "|" symbol. The power supply LEDs will display amber until POST is complete, and then change to green. The switch usually requires from 1 to 3 min to boot and complete POST.

Note:

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

connected and turned on.

Chapter 2. Installing and configuring the switch 15

3. After POST is complete, verify that the switch power and status LEDs on the left of the port side of the switch are green.

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. Connect the serial cable to the serial port on the switch and to an RS-232 serial port on the workstation. If the serial port on the workstation is RJ-45 instead of RS-232, remove the adapter on the end of the serial cable and insert the exposed RJ-45 connector into the RJ-45 serial port on the workstation.

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

3. 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

In a UNIX environment, type the following string at the prompt:

tip /dev/ttyb -9600

ttyb is already in use, use ttya instead and enter the following string at the

If prompt:

tip /dev/ttya -9600

Setting the switch IP address

You can configure the switch with a static IP address, or you can use a DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) server to set the IP address of the switch. DHCP is enabled by default. The switch supports both IPv4 and IPv6.

Using DHCP

When using DHCP, the switch obtains its IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway address from the DHCP server. The DHCP client can only connect to the a DHCP server that is on the same subnet as the switch. If your DHCP server is not on the same subnet as the switch, use a static IP address.

Setting a static IP address

1. Log into the switch using the default password, which is password.

2. Use the ipaddrset command to set the Ethernet IP address. If you are going to use an IPv4 IP address, enter the IP address in dotted decimal notation as prompted.

Ethernet IP Address: [192.168.74.102]

If you are going to use an IPv6 address, enter the network information in semicolon-separated notation as prompted.

switch:admin> ipaddrset -ipv6 --add 1080::8:800:200C:417A/64 IP address is being changed...Done.

16 SAN40B-4 Installation, Service, and User’s Guide

3. Complete the rest of the network information as prompted.

Ethernet Subnetmask: [255.255.255.0]

Ethernet IP Address: [192.168.74.102] Ethernet Subnetmask: [255.255.255.0]

4. Enter off to Disable DHCP when prompted.

DHCP [OFF]: off

Setting the date and time

The switch maintains the current date and time inside a battery-backed real-time clock (RTC) circuit. Date and time 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. However, because the date and time are used for logging, error detection, and troubleshooting, you should set them correctly.

Setting the date

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

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

date "mmddHHMMyy"

The values represent the following:

v mm is the month; valid values are 01 through 12 v dd is the date; valid values are 01 through 31 v HH is the hour; valid values are 00 through 23 v MM is minutes; valid values are 00 through 59 v yy is the year; valid values are 00 through 99 (values greater than 69 are

interpreted as 1970 through 1999, and values less than 70 are interpreted as 2000-2069)

switch:admin> date Fri Sep 29 17:01:48 UTC 2007 switch:admin> date "0927123007" Thu Sep 27 12:30:00 UTC 2007 switch:admin>

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

The time zone setting has the following characteristics:

Chapter 2. Installing and configuring the switch 17

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.

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.

18 SAN40B-4 Installation, Service, and User’s Guide

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

switch:admin> tsclockserver

132.163.135.131

switch:admin>

The following example shows how to set up more than one NTP server using a DNS name:

switch:admin> tsclockserver "10.32.170.1;10.32.170.2;ntp.localdomain.net" Updating Clock Server configuration...done. Updated with the NTP servers Changes to the clock server value on the principal or primary FCS switch

are propagated to all switches in the fabric.

Chapter 3. Operating the switch

This chapter provides the following information:

v “Powering the switch on and off” v “Interpreting LED activity” v “LED patterns” on page 23 v “POST and boot specifications” on page 25 v “Interpreting POST results” on page 26 v “Customer field replaceable units (CRUs/FRUs)” on page 31 v “Maintaining the switch” on page 26 v “Managing the switch” on page 33

Powering the switch on and off

See Chapter 2, “Installing and configuring the switch,” on page 7 for initial setup instructions before powering the switch on for the first time. Once the switch has been properly configured, follow these instructions to power the switch on and off.

To power the switch on, connect one or both power cords to the power connectors on the power supplies and to a power source; then, set the AC power switches to ″|″. Power is supplied to the switch as soon as the first power supply is connected and powered on.

The switch runs POST by default each time it is powered on; it requires a minimum of three minutes to boot and complete POST.

To power the switch off, power off both power supplies by setting each AC power switch to ″O″. All devices are returned to their initial state the next time the switch is powered on.

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: no light, a steady light, and a flashing light. The steady lights and flashing lights can be green or amber. The LEDs flash either of these colors during boot, POST, or other diagnostic tests. This is normal and does not indicate a problem unless the LEDs do not indicate a healthy state after all boot processes and diagnostic tests are complete.

The switch has the following LEDs:

v System power LED–One LED (green) to indicate system power v System status LED–One LED (green/amber) to indicate system status v Ethernet status LEDs–Two LEDs to indicate speed and link status v Port status LEDs–40 LEDs (green/amber) to indicate status for each port v One power supply status LED on each power supply, to the left of the ON/OFF

POST includes the following steps:

1. Preliminary POST diagnostics are run.

2. Operating system is initialized.

3. Hardware is initialized.

4. Diagnostic tests are run on several functions, including circuitry, port functionality, memory, statistics counters, and serialization.

Boot

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

1. Universal port configuration is performed.

Chapter 3. Operating the switch 25

2. Links are initialized.

3. Fabric is analyzed, and if any ports are connected to other switches, the switch participates in a fabric configuration.

4. Switch obtains a domain ID and assigns port addresses.

5. Unicast routing tables are constructed.

6. Normal port operation is enabled.

Interpreting POST results

POST is a system check that is performed each time the switch is powered on, rebooted, or reset, and during which the LEDs flash amber and green. Any errors that occur during POST are listed in the error log.

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

1. Verify that the LEDs on the switch indicate that all components are healthy (see the tables in “LED patterns” on page 23). If one or more LEDs do not display a healthy state:

a. 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, refer to the Fabric OS Administrator’s Guide or the Web Tools Administrator’s Guide.

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

the tables in “LED patterns” on page 23.

Verify that the switch prompt displays on the terminal of a computer workstation

2. that is connected to the switch. If the prompt does not display when POST completes, press Enter. If the prompt still does not display, open another Telnet session or access the switch through another management tool. If this is not successful, the switch did not successfully complete POST; contact IBM Service for repair.

3. Review the switch system log for errors. Any errors detected during POST are written to the system log, which is accessible through the errShow command. For information about this command, refer to the Fabric OS Command

Reference. For information about error messages, refer to the Fabric OS Message Reference.

Maintaining the switch

The switch does not require any regular physical maintenance and is designed for high availability and to minimize the chance of failure. To help prevent failure of the switch due to distress or abuse, ensure that the environmental conditions, described in “Environment considerations” on page 8, are met. Other maintenance includes diagnostic tests and field-replaceable units, described in the following sections.

Installing SFPs

The switch only supports Brocade-branded SFPs. If you use an unqualified SFP, the switchShow command output will show the port in an Mod_Inv state. Fabric OS will also log the issue in the system error log.

Follow these instructions to install an SFP:

1. Making sure that the bail (wire handle)B is in the unlocked position, place the SFP in the correctly oriented position on the port, as shown in Figure 11 on page 27

26 SAN40B-4 Installation, Service, and User’s Guide

Note: Each SFP has a 10-pad gold-plated PCB-edge connector on the bottom.

The correct position to insert an SFP into the upper row of ports is with the gold edge down. The correct position to insert an SFP into the lower row of ports is with the gold edge up.

2. Slide the SFP into the port until you feel it click into place; then close the bail.

2. Remove the cable from the SFP, as shown in section 2.

3. Pull the bail (wire handle) D in section 3 to release the SFP.

4. Grasping it by the bail, gently but firmly pull the SFP (C in section 4) out of the port.

Attention: If the SFP you are removing does not have a bail, use a small

implement such as a screwdriver to press the release trigger beneath the port. Non-bailed SFPs can be damaged by the removal process and are not recommended. Refer to the interoperability matrix at the following web site: www.ibm.com/servers/storage/support/san for a list of supported SFPs and devices.

Testing a port, SFP, and fiber cable

The PortLoopbackTest command is used to verify the functional operation of the switch by sending frames from the port "N" transmitter and looping them back into the same port "N" receiver. The loopback is done at the parallel loopback path. The path exercised in this test does not include the media or the fiber cable. However if data transmission errors indicate that a port, SFP or cable are faulty, you can use this command to determine whether the port is faulty. You can use those results to isolate the problem to either the port or the SFP and cable combination. If a port is faulty, the switch will need to be replaced. If the port is not faulty, the problem is either with the SFP or the cable.

Chapter 3. Operating the switch 29

With this command, only one frame is transmitted and received at a time. No external cable is required to run this test. The port LEDs flicker rapidly (green) while the test is running.

The test performs the following operations:

1. Sets all ports for parallel loopback.

2. Creates a frame F of maximum data size (2,112 bytes).

3. Transmits the frame F through port "N".

4. Picks up the frame from the same port "N".

5. Checks the eight statistic error counters for nonzero values:

ENC_in, CRC_err, TruncFrm, FrmTooLong, BadEOF, Enc_out, BadOrdSet, DiscC3

6. Checks whether the transmit, receive, or class 3 receiver counters are stuck at some value.

7. Checks whether the number of frames transmitted is not equal to the number of frames received.

8. Repeats Steps 2 through 7 for all ports until one of the following conditions are met:

a. The number of frames (or passcount) requested is reached. b. All ports are marked bad.

Diagnostic tests

each pass, the frame is created from a different data type. If seven passes

At are requested, seven different data types are used in the test. If eight passes are requested, the first seven frames use unique data types, and the eighth is the same as the first. The seven data types are:

CSPAT: 0x7e, 0x7e, 0x7e, 0x7e, ... BYTE_LFSR: 0x69, 0x01, 0x02, 0x05, ... CHALF_SQ: 0x4a, 0x4a, 0x4a, 0x4a, ... QUAD_NOT: 0x00, 0xff, 0x00, 0xff, ... CQTR_SQ: 0x78, 0x78, 0x78, 0x78, ... CRPAT: 0xbc, 0xbc, 0x23, 0x47, ...

RANDOM: 0x25, 0x7f, 0x6e, 0x9a, ....

9. If the test indicates that all ports are good, the problem is associated with either the cable or SFP.

10. Replace the SFP with an SFP known to be good.

11. Simulate the data transmission scenario when the error occurred. If the error does not reappear, the original SFP was defective, and should be discarded. If the error does reappear, the cable is defective. Replace the cable and discard the original cable.

12. Simulate the data transmission scenario again to verify that the problem does

not reappear.

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 SFPs 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, SFP, and cable. All diagnostic tests are run at link speeds of 1, 2, 4, and 8 Gbps, depending on the speed of the link being tested.

30 SAN40B-4 Installation, Service, and User’s Guide

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

the links during diagnostic testing.

For information about specific diagnostic tests, refer to the Fabric OS Administrator’s Guide.

Customer field replaceable units (CRUs/FRUs)

In addition to the SFPs, the only customer field replaceable units (CRUs/FRUs) are the integrated power supply fan assemblies. The fans are fixed inside the integrated power supply/fan FRU to provide necessary airflow to cool the whole system. The system software sets fan speed and measures their speeds through the tachometer interface. The two power supply/fan assembly FRU units are hot-swappable if replaced one at a time. They are identical and fit into either slot and can be replaced onsite without the use of special tools. The power supplies/fan assemblies units are keyed to ensure correct orientation during installation. When either the power supply component or one of the fans fails, the entire assembly must be replaced. Individual components cannot be replaced.

Attention: Disassembling any part of the power supply and fan assembly voids

the warranty and regulatory certifications. There are no user-serviceable parts inside the power supply and fan assembly. Because the cooling system relies on pressurized air, do not leave any of the fan assembly slots empty longer than two minutes while the switch is operating. If a fan assembly fails, leave it in the switch until it can be replaced. Maintain all fan assemblies in operational condition to provide redundancy.

These power supply/fan assemblies are redundant, but should be replaced as soon as possible to avoid any system shutdown or data loss. Each power supply/fan unit contains two fans, which will automatically switch to high speed if the other power supply unit fails. Refer to Table 8 on page 25 for interpreting the power supply LEDs and recommended actions before replacing the unit. Fabric OS identifies the fans from left to right when viewed from the nonport side as Fan assembly #2 and Fan assembly #1.

Any of the following methods can be used to determine whether a power supply has failed and requires replacing:

v Check the power supply status LED next to the I/O switch. If the power supply

status LED is not on, verify that the power supply is on and seated and the power cord is connected to a functioning power source. If the light does not turn green, the power supply needs to be replaced.

v In Web Tools, click the Power Status icon. v Type the psShow command at the command prompt to display power supply

status as shown below:

switch:admin> psshow Power Supply #1 is OK Power Supply #2 is OK

Any of the following methods can be used to determine whether a fan has failed and requires replacing:

v Check the system status LED (see Figure 9 on page 22). If the system status

LED is flashing amber and green, it could mean the fan has failed. The green power supply/fan LED will also flash in the event of failure. Check the management interface and the error log for details on the cause of status.

Chapter 3. Operating the switch 31

v In Advanced Web Tools, check the Fan Status icon background color. It will be

either yellow or red if the fan has failed. When the fan is functioning correctly, the background color is green.

v Type the fanShow command at the command prompt to display fan status as

Managing the switch

You can use the management functions built into the switch to monitor the fabric topology, port status, physical status, and other information to help you analyze switch performance and to accelerate system debugging. The switch 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 “POST and boot specifications” on page 25.

For information about upgrading the version of Fabric OS installed on your switch, refer to the Fabric OS Administrator’s Guide. Yo u can manage the switch using any of the management options listed in Table 9.

Appendix. Product specifications 37

Fibre Channel port specifications

The Fibre Channel ports in the switch are compatible with SWL, LWL, and ELWL SFPs. The strength of the signal is determined by the type of SFP in use. The ports are capable of operating at 1, 2, 4 and 8 Gbps, and are able to autosense the highest speed capable for all attached devices. The ports meet all required safety standards.

Serial port specifications

The serial port is located on the port side of the switch using an RJ-45 connector. The serial port can be used to connect to a workstation to configure the switch IP address before connecting the switch to a fabric or IP network. The serial port’s parameters are fixed at 9600 baud, 8 data bits, and no parity, with flow control set to None.

This connector is for initial IP address configuration and for recovery of the switch to its factory default settings if Flash memory contents are lost. The serial port is not intended for performance of normal administration or maintenance functions. You should only use this port to connect a terminal to the port to re-initialize the switch defaults, restoring the switch to its factory configuration. This is required to restore switch passwords to a known state and allow you to assign an IP address to the switch.

Power supply specifications

The power supplies are universal and capable of functioning worldwide without voltage jumpers or switches. They meet IEC 61000-4-5 surge voltage requirements and are autoranging in terms of accommodating input voltages and line frequencies. Each power supply has a built-in fan for cooling, pushing air towards the port side of the switch.
