Chapter 1. Introducing the SAN32B-E4

The SAN32B-E4 Encryption Switch is a high performance 32-port auto-sensing 8 Gbps Fibre Channel switch with cryptography (encryption/decryption) and data compression capabilities. It is designed to encrypt data for enterprises to secure their data against theft or unauthorized use, and to compress tape data for maximum utilization of tape media. The switch is a network-based solution that secures data-at-rest for heterogeneous tape drives, disk array LUNs, and virtual tape libraries using IEEE Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) 256-bit algorithms.

In addition to its 32 Fibre Channel ports, the switch has:

v One RJ45 1000/100/10 Ethernet management port v Two RJ45 Gigabit Ethernet (GE) ports for clustering interconnection and re-key,

and DEK synchronization within cluster

v One RJ45 serial console port v One USB port for serviceability, error logging, and firmware upgrades

Deployment of encryption with the switch is non-disruptive. Data can be encrypted without reconfiguration of the SAN, and provisioning can be implemented without shutting-down applications. The switch can be configured and managed with the Data Center Fabric Manager (DCFM) and CLI management tools, and can be integrated with existing network infrastructure (FOS and M-EOS).

The encryption switch has these features v 32 front-end 1, 2, 4, or 8 Gbps auto-sensing F, FL, E, EX, or M ports to connect

host servers, SAN disks, SAN tapes, edge switches, or core switches

v Encryption and decryption engines to provide in-line crypto services with up to

96 Gbps throughput for disk I/O and up to 48 Gbps throughput for tape I/O (mix of ciphertext and cleartext traffic)

v Integrated with industry leading key management systems, including Lifetime

Key Management (LKM) and RSA Key Manager (RKM)

v Full 1:1 subscription on all 32 ports at 8 Gbps v HA cluster, Data Encryption Key (DEK) cluster, and Encryption Group (EG) to

enable transparent failover, host MPIO failover, and centralized management of multiple encryption switches

v Support for automatic expiry or CLI manual based re-keying v Compliance with encryption standards: AES256-XTS 1619.1 (for disk);

AES256-GCM IEEE 1619.2 (for tape)

v Smart Card, available as a field-replaceable unit (FRU) from IBM, providing

additional encryption security management

v Hardware-based key management and generation v Integrated Routing Fabric Service (optional) to enable encryption capabilities

across multiple fabrics

v NPIV support v Two hot-swappable, redundant power supply FRUs v Three hot-swappable fan FRUs in the N+1 configuration to provide

hardware-redundant cooling

v One RJ45 1000/100/10 Ethernet management port

v Two RJ45 GE ports for clustering interconnection and re-key, and DEK

synchronization within cluster

v One RJ45 serial console port v A USB port that facilitates firmware upgrades, serviceability, and system-log

functionality

v A switch subsytem and encryption subsystem which feature a CPU running at

1.3 GHz with integrated peripherals that provide high performance with low power consumption

v Inter-Switch Link (ISL) Trunking (licensable), allowing up to eight ports (at

1.0625 Gbps, 2.125 Gbps, 4.25 Gbps, or 8.5 Gbps data rate) between a pair of switches to be combined to form a single, logical ISL with a speed of up to 64 Gbps (full duplex) for optimal bandwidth utilization and load balancing

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

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

v Small Form-Factor Plugable (SFP) or SFP+ optical transceivers, providing

support for a combination of Short Wavelength (SWL), Long Wavelength (LWL), or Extended Long Wavelength (ELWL) optical media among the switch ports

Note: The full range of 1, 2, 4, and 8 Gbps can only be achieved by a

combination of 4 Gbps SFPs (1, 2, and 4 Gbps) and 8 Gbps SFP+ (2, 4, and 8 Gbps).

v Fabric Operating System (Fabric OS) support, delivering distributed intelligence

throughout the network and enabling a wide range of applications including Web Tools and zoning. Optional fabric services include: Adaptive Networking with QoS, Extended Fabrics, Enhanced Group Management, Fabric Watch, ISL Trunking, Integrated Routing, and End-to-End Performance Monitoring (APM).

Planning for encryption

Attention: Setup of this switch for encryption requires the use of this document for the physical installation of the switch. Critical information required for enabling and managing encryption is contained in the Fabric OS Encryption Administrator’s Guide Supporting Tivoli Key Lifecycle Manager (TKLM) Environments, which is included on the documentation CD-ROM that is shipped with the product. You must use both documents in order to successfully set up the switch for encryption.

Careful attention to details of setup and configuration are essential to enabling a secure encryption functionality. The following guidelines should be followed when planning for encryption with the SAN32B-E4 switch or the 16-port encryption blade (FS8-18), which is available for the SAN768B and SAN384B products.

v Redundancy of hardware is essential because if the encryption path is disrupted,

access to the encrypted data will be lost with a single encryption device. You must have two encryption devices to ensure backup and access in the event that one of the devices goes down. If one of the devices in the encryption pair is not functioning, you will only have read access to the encrypted data on the functioning device until the non-functioning device is restored. Redundancy of hardware for encryption can be accomplished with the following:

– Two Key Vault locations on different devices – Two encryption devices in any combination of encryption switches

(SAN32B-E4) and FS8-18 encryption blades (in SAN768B or SAN384B chassis)

v Cable planning for the encryption switch and its back-up and for a primary and

secondary key vault manager is critical. These devices can be separated by distance as long as they can maintain constant communication contact. One device must back up the other to ensure access to encrypted data. Refer to the

Fabric OS Encryption Administrator’s Guide Supporting Tivoli Key Lifecycle Manager (TKLM) Environments for more information on Master Keys (MK).

v Begin with a limited application of encryption in a test environment and once an

expanded encryption test is successful, move the encryption into production

v Avoid dual encryption (Fabric encryption and device encryption). While this

should not cause any encryption errors, it will degrade performance.

v There is no support of Cisco switches at this time by IBM. The section in the

Fabric OS Encryption Administrator’s Guide Supporting Tivoli Key Lifecycle Manager (TKLM) Environments related to Cisco Fabric connectivity does not currently

apply.

v The use of Smart Cards provides additional encryption security management,

and is highly recommended. Smart cards can be ordered as FRUs through IBM.

v The Top Talker feature is not compatible with redirection zones. The Top Talker

feature should not be enabled when an encryption switch or blade is present in the fabric.

v Alias zoning is not supported in encryption environments. You must use the real

WWPN.

v Refer to the "Steps for connecting to a TKLM appliance" section of the Fabric OS

Encryption Administrator’s Guide Supporting Tivoli Key Lifecycle Manager (TKLM) Environments for detailed information on initial setup. That section includes the

following information: – All switches you plan to include in an encryption group must have a secure

connection to the Tivoli Key Lifecycle Manager (TKLM). A local LINUX host must be available to transfer certificates.

– Be sure that the clock time on the TKLM server and on the Brocade

encryption nodes are the same. A difference of only a few minutes can cause the TLS connectivity to fail.

– Repeat the same steps for configuring both the primary and the secondary

key vault.

– Both the primary and secondary key vaults should be registered before

exporting MK or encrypting LUNs. If the secondary key vault is registered midway after encryption is done for some of the LUNs, then the key database should be backed up and restored on the secondary TKLM from the already registered primary TKLM before registering the secondary TKLM.

– The following is a suggested order for the initial steps needed to create a

secure connection to TKLM. (Refer to the "Steps for connecting to a TKLM appliance" section of the Fabric OS Encryption Administrator’s Guide Supporting Tivoli Key Lifecycle Manager (TKLM) Environments for additional steps.)

1. Initialize all encryption nodes to generate Key authentication center (KAC) certificates and export the signed KAC certificates to a local LINUX host.

2. Obtain the necessary user credentials and log in to the TKLM server appliance from the TKLM management web console.

Attention: Read the “Safety notices and labels” on page xiii before attempting any installation, maintenance, or service procedures.

Site preparation and installation guidelines

The following steps are required to ensure correct installation and operation.

1. Provide a space that is 2 rack units (2U) high. 1U is equal to 4.45 cm (1.75 in.).

2. Plan to install the switch with the nonport side facing the air-intake aisle.

Ensure that: v A minimum of 90.1 cubic meters per hour (53 cubic feet per minute) of

airflow is available to the air intake vents on the nonport side of the switch.

v The air intake and exhaust vents have a minimum of 2 inches of airspace. v The air temperature on the air intake side is less than 40° C (104° F) during

operation.

3. Ensure that dedicated electrical branch circuits with the following characteristics are available:

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 are met. See “Power specifications” on page 52.

Attention: To maximize fault tolerance, connect each power cord to a separate power source.

4. Plan for cable management before installing the chassis. Cables can be managed in a variety of ways, such as by routing cables below the chassis, to either side of the chassis, through cable channels on the sides of the cabinet, or by using patch panels.

5. For configuration of the switch: v Plan for two IP addresses, and corresponding subnet masks and gateway

addresses. One IP address for the virtual IP address on the cluster interconnect; and another IP address for the management port.

v Ensure that the following are available:

– Workstation with an installed terminal emulator, such as HyperTerminal – Serial cable (provided) – Three Ethernet cables – Access to an FTP server for backing up the switch configuration or

collecting supportsave output data (optional) – Brocade USB drive for collecting supportsave output data (optional) – SFPs and compatible cables

Planning for cable management

Attention: The minimum bend radius for a 50 micron cable is 2 in. under full tensile load and 1.2 in. with no tensile load.

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:

10 SAN32B-E4 Installation, Service, and User Guide

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 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 style straps to secure and organize fiber optic cables. Do not

use tie wraps on fiber optic cables; they can be easily overtightened and can damage the optic fibers.

Items included with the switch

The following items are included with the standard shipment of the switch. When you open the packaging, verify that these items are included in the package and that no damage occurred during shipping.

To set the time zone, follow these steps.

1. If necessary, log on to the switch by Telnet, using the admin account.

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 MST. The following example shows how to change the time zone to US/Mountain.

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

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

1. Enter the tsTimeZone command as follows:

switch:admin> tstimezone --interactive

You are prompted to select a general location.

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

2. Enter the appropriate number or Ctrl+D to quit.

3. At the prompt, select a country location.

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

Ctrl+D to quit.

For more detailed information about the parameters of the tsTimeZone command, refer to the Fabric OS Command Reference.

Chapter 2. Installing and configuring the switch 23

Synchronizing local time with an external source

To synchronize the local time of the principal or primary switch with that of an external NTP server, follow these steps.

1. If necessary, log on to the switch by Telnet, using the admin account.

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

Installing SFPs and attaching cables

To install SFPs and cables to the switch, follow these steps.

1. If necessary, remove the plugs from the ports to be used.

2. Ensure that the bail (wire handle) is in the unlocked position. Place the SFP in

the correct position on the port (Figure 13).

b32e4008

Figure 13. Installing an SFP into an upper port

3. Slide the SFP into the port until it clicks into place. Close the bail.

24 SAN32B-E4 Installation, Service, and User Guide

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

Insert SFPs into the upper row of ports with this gold edge down. Insert SFPs into the lower row of ports with the gold edge up.

4. Connect the cables to the transceivers. The cables used in trunking groups must meet specific requirements. For a list of these requirements, see the Fabric OS Administrator’s Guide.

Note: The cable connectors are keyed to ensure correct orientation. If a cable

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

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

connector) aligns with the slot in the transceiver. Then, insert the cable into the transceiver until the latching mechanism clicks. For instructions specific to cable type, see the cable manufacturer’s documentation.

b. Repeat step a for the remaining cables.

5. Check the LEDs to verify that all components are functional. For information

about LED patterns, see “Interpreting LEDs” on page 31.

6. Verify the correct operation of the switch by entering the switchShow command from the workstation.

Managing cables

Attention: The minimum bend radius for a 50 micron cable is 2 in. under full tensile load and 1.2 in. with no tensile load.

Cables can be organized and managed in a variety of ways, including 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 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.

v 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.

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 straps 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 optical fibers.

Verifying the correct operation of the switch and backing up the configuration

To verify the correct operation of the switch and to back up the switch configuration, complete these steps:

1. Check the LEDs to verify that all components are functional. For information about LED patterns, refer to “Interpreting LEDs” on page 31.

2. If necessary, log on to the switch by Telnet, using the admin account.

3. Run the portCfgPersistntEnable command to activate the FC ports for FC

operation.

Chapter 2. Installing and configuring the switch 25

4. Verify the correct operation of the switch by entering the switchShow command from the workstation. This command provides information about the switch and its port status.

5. Verify the correct operation of the switch in the fabric by entering the fabricShow command from the workstation. This command provides general information about the fabric.

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

It is recommended that the configuration be backed up on a regular basis to ensure that a complete configuration is available for downloading to a replacement switch. For specific instructions about how to back up the configuration, see the Fabric OS Administrator’s Guide. The switchShow, fabricShow, and configUpload commands are described in detail in the Fabric OS Command Reference.

Configuring for encryption

Note: Refer to the Fabric OS Encryption Administrator’s Guide Supporting Tivoli Key

Lifecycle Manager (TKLM) Environments for the procedures to configure the

encryption functions.

Summary of procedure

If the switch is being configured for the first time for encryption services, you will need to perform several pre-initialization tasks related to configuring the encryption node (switch), including:

v Generating the Critical Security Parameters (CSPs) and certificates v Loading and setting up the certificates v Establishing a trusted link (LKM Appliance) v Configuring the global parameters and policies of the encryption group v Generating and backing up the master key in RSA environments v Handling key-vault high-availability v Configuring cluster interconnect

After completing the pre-initialization tasks, you may need to perform several tasks related to configuring the encryption group. Figure 14 on page 27 summarizes the flow of the encryption-configuration tasks.

Avoid double encryption

Encryption and decryption at the storage device level does not affect the encryption switch or blade capabilities, and does not cause problems with decrypting the data. However, double encryption adds the unnecessary need to manage two sets of encryption keys, increases the risk of losing data, may reduce performance, and does not add security.

Managing license keys (optional)

b32e4009

Depending on what has been ordered, certain licenses are factory-installed on the switch. Feature licenses might be included as a paperpack item in the switch shipping carton. This paperpack provides 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 switch. After a feature is activated, its activation key is associated with a specific product WWN and serial number.

Chapter 2. Installing and configuring the switch 27

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 switch, 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.

APswitch:admin> licenseshow License Key: bQebzeRdScRfc0iK

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 switch WWN or product serial number are required to obtain the license key.

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

1. Log in as admin.

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

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

the system does not need to be rebooted.

Removing a license key

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

1. Log in as admin.

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 may flash amber or green, or remain steady. Total boot time with POST may take up to 3 minutes.

34 SAN32B-E4 Installation, Service, and User Guide

Note: While not recommended, POST can be omitted after subsequent reboots by

using the fastBoot command or entering the diagDisablePost command to persistently disable POST.

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

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 “Interpreting LEDs” on page 31). 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, see 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 “Interpreting LEDs” on page 31.

2. Verify that the switch prompt displays on the terminal of a computer workstation 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 your IBM representative.

3. Using either Web Tools or the CLI, verify that the diagnostic status for all ports in the switch is OK.

v If using Web Tools, select Port Admin or Status to display information about

the ports.

v If using the CLI, use the diagShow command

4. Review the system log for errors.

v If using Web Tools, errors are listed under Switch Events v If using the CLI, 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 Message Reference

Diagnostic testing

In addition to POST, the Fabric OS includes diagnostic tests to troubleshoot the hardware and firmware. This includes tests of internal connections and circuitry, fixed media, and the 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 ports to be connected by external cables, to allow diagnostics to verify the serializer/deserializer interface, transceiver, and cable. Some tests require loopback plugs.

Diagnostic tests are run at link speeds of 1 Gbps, 2 Gbps, 4 Gbps, and 8 Gbps. For information about diagnostic tests, refer to the Fabric OS Administrator’s Guide.

Chapter 3. Using and maintaining the switch 35

Checking the FRUs

The power supplies and the fan assemblies are field-replaceable units (FRUs) and can be replaced on site without the use of special tools. The power supplies and fan assemblies are keyed to ensure correct orientation during installation. To determine the status of these FRUs, use the following diagnostic procedures. Follow the replacement procedures in “Replacing a power supply” and “Replacing a fan assembly” on page 39 if you determine that any FRU is defective.

Verifying power supplies

The two power supplies are hot-swappable if replaced one at a time. They are identical and fit into either slot. Fabric OS identifies the power supplies as follows (viewing the switch from the non-port side):

Attention: Maintain both power supplies in operational condition for redundancy.

v Power supply #1 (3 in Figure 17 on page 37) on the right v Power supply #2 (4) on the left

To determine if a power supply requires replacing, do either of the following: v Check the power supply status LED above the On/Off switch (5 in Figure 18

on page 38). 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 may need to be replaced.

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

status as shown in the example below:

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

v You can also use the switchStatusShow command to verify the status of the

power supplies and fan assemblies.

Refer to the Fabric OS Command Reference for more information about these commands, and the Fabric OS Message Reference for information about specific error messages.

Replacing a power supply

Attention: Before installing, removing, or replacing any component, read and follow the “Safety notices and labels” on page xiii.

Note: Disassembling any part of the power supply voids the part warranty and

regulatory certifications. There are no user-serviceable parts inside the power supply.

Attention: The cooling system relies on pressurized air, do not leave either of the power supply slots empty longer than two minutes when the switch is operating. If a power supply fails, leave the power supply in the switch until it can be replaced.

This section describes how to remove and replace the power supply. Although these FRUs can be removed and replaced without special tools, qualified personnel
