Chapter 1: General information
The IBM TotalStorage SAN32M1 switch (referred to in this
information unit as the SAN32M1) provides dynamically switched
connections between Fibre Channel servers and devices in a storage
area network (SAN) environment. SANs introduce the concept of
server-to-device networking and multiswitch fabrics, eliminate
requirements for dedicated connections, and enable the enterprise to
become data-centric.
A SAN provides speed, high capacity, and flexibility for the
enterprise, and is primarily based upon Fibre Channel architecture.
The SAN32M1 switch implements Fibre Channel technology that
provides a bandwidth of 2.125 gigabits per second ), redundant
switched data paths, a scalable number of active ports, and long
transmission distances (up to 20 kilometers).
This chapter describes the switch and switch management through
the attached Enterprise Fabric Connectivity (EFC) Server. The chapter
specifically discusses:
• Switch management, error-detection and reporting features,
serviceability features, zoning, multiswitch fabrics, and
specifications.
Switch description
• The management server and minimum hardware specifications.
• Remote workstation configurations and hardware specifications.
• Maintenance approach.
• Field-replaceable units (FRUs).
• Connectors and indicators.
• Software diagnostic features.
• Tools and test equipment.
The SAN32M1 switch provides Fibre Channel connectivity through
32 ports. Switch ports operate at 2.125 () gigabits per second (Gbps),
and can be configured as:
• Fabric ports (F_Ports) to provide direct connectivity for up to 24
switched fabric devices.
© Copyright IBM Corp. 2005
1
Page 34
• Expansion ports (E_Ports) to provide interswitch link (ISL)
connectivity to fabric directors and switches.
The switch can be installed on a table or desk top, mounted in an
equipment cabinet or in any standard equipment rack.
Multiple switches and the management server communicate on a
local area network (LAN) through one or more 10/100 Base-T
Ethernet hubs. One or more 24-port Ethernet hubs are optional and
can be ordered with the switch. Up to three hubs are daisy-chained as
required to provide additional Ethernet connections as more switches
(or other IBM managed products) are installed on a customer
network.
The switches provide dynamically switched connections for servers
and devices, supports mainframe and open-systems interconnection
(OSI) computing environments, and provides data transmission and
flow control between device node ports (N_Ports) as dictated by the
Fibre Channel Physical and Signaling Interface (FC-PH 4.3). Through
interswitch links (ISLs), the switch can connect additional switches to
form a Fibre Channel multiswitch fabric.
The switch provides connectivity for devices manufactured by
multiple original equipment manufacturers (OEMs). To determine if
an OEM product can communicate through connections provided by
the switch, or if communication restrictions apply, refer to the
supporting publications for the product or contact your IBM
marketing representative
Switch management

SAN32M1 Fabric Switch Installation and Service Manual
Out-of-band (non-Fibre Channel) management access to IBM
products is provided through an Ethernet LAN connection to a
switch front panel. The following out-of-band management access
methods are provided:
• Optional management server with the SAN Management
Application) and Element Manager applications installed. The
management server is a rack-mount unit that provides a central
point of control for up to 48 switches or managed IBM products.
Operators at remote workstations can connect to the management
server through the local SANavigator or EFCM application and
associated Element Manager applications to manage and monitor
switches controlled by the management server. A maximum of
nine concurrent users (including a local user) can log in to the
SANavigator or EFCM application.
Page 35
• Management using simple network management protocol
(SNMP). An SNMP agent is implemented through the
SANavigator or EFCM application that allows administrators on
SNMP management workstations to access product management
information using any standard network management tool.
Administrators can assign Internet Protocol (IP) addresses and
corresponding community names for up to six SNMP
workstations functioning as SNMP trap message recipients.
• Management through the Internet using the SANpilot interface
installed on the director or switch. This interface supports
configuration, statistics monitoring, and basic operation of the
product, but does not offer all the capabilities of the
corresponding Element Manager application. Administrators
launch the SANpilot interface from a remote PC by entering the
product’s IP address as the Internet uniform resource locator
(URL), then entering a user name and password at a login screen.
The PC browser then becomes a management console.
• Management through a customer-supplied remote workstation
communicating with the management server through a corporate
intranet.
• Management through the command line interface (CLI). The CLI
allows you to access many SANavigator or EFCM and Element
Manager applications while entering commands during a telnet
session with the director. The primary purpose of the CLI is to
automate management of a large number of directors using
scripts. The CLI is not an interactive interface; no checking is done
for pre-existing conditions and no prompts display to guide users
through tasks. Refer to the EOS Command Line Interface User
Manual for IBM TotalStorage Products, GC26-7669.
Figure 1 illustrates out-of-band product management. In the figure,
the managed product is a fabric switch.

Error-Detection, reporting, and serviceabilit y feat ures
The switch provides the following error-detection, reporting, and
serviceability features:
• Light-emitting diodes (LEDs) on switch FRUs and adjacent to
Fibre Channel ports that provide visual indicators of hardware
status or malfunctions.
• System and threshold alerts, event logs, audit logs, link incident
logs, threshold alert logs, and hardware logs that display switch,
Ethernet link, and Fibre Channel link status at the management
server, customer-supplied server (running the EFCM Lite
application), or a remote workstation.
• Diagnostic software that performs power-on self-tests (POSTs)
and port diagnostics (internal loopback, external loopback, and
Fibre Channel (FC) wrap tests). The FC wrap test applies only
when the switch is configured to operate in FICON management
mode.
• Automatic notification of significant system events (to support
personnel or administrators) through e-mail messages or the
call-home feature.
• An external modem for use by support personnel to dial-in to the
management server for event notification and to perform remote
diagnostics.
• An RS-232 maintenance port at the rear of the switch (port access
is password protected) that enables installation or service
personnel to change the switch’s internet protocol (IP) address,
subnet mask, and gateway address; or to run diagnostics and
isolate system problems through a local or remote terminal.
• Redundant FRUs; (small form factor pluggable (SFP)) optical
transceivers, power supplies, and cooling fans that are removed
or replaced without disrupting switch or Fibre Channel link
operation.
• A modular design that enables quick removal and replacement of
FRUs without tools or equipment.
• Concurrent port maintenance. SFPs and Fiber-optic cables are
removed and attached to ports without interrupting other ports
or director operation.
Chapter 1: General information
5
Page 38
• Beaconing to assist service personnel in locating a specific port or
switch. When port beaconing is enabled, the amber LED
associated with the port flashes. When unit beaconing is enabled,
the system error indicator on the front panel flashes. Beaconing
does not affect port or switch operation.
• Data collection through the Element Manager application to help
isolate system problems. The data includes a memory dump file
and audit, hardware, and engineering logs.
• Status monitoring of redundant FRUs and alternate Fibre
Channel data paths to ensure continued director availability in
case of failover. The SANavigator or EFCM application queries
the status of each backup FRU daily. A backup FRU failure is
indicated by an illuminated amber LED.
• Simple network management protocol (SNMP) management
using the Fibre Alliance MIB that runs on the management server.
Up to 12 authorized management workstations can be configured
through the SAN Management application to receive unsolicited
SNMP trap messages. The trap messages indicate operational
state changes and failure conditions.
• SNMP management using the Fibre Channel Fabric Element MIB,
transmission control protocol/internet protocol (TCP/IP) MIB-II
definition (RFC 1213), or a product-specific MIB that runs on each
switch. Up to 12 authorized management workstations can be
configured through the Element Manager application to receive
unsolicited SNMP trap messages. The trap messages indicate
switch operational state changes and failure conditions.
• SNMP management using the Fibre Alliance MIB that runs on the
management server. Up to 12 authorized management
workstations can be configured through the SAN Management
application to receive unsolicited SNMP trap messages. The trap
messages indicate operational state changes and failure
conditions.
NOTE: For more information about SNMP support provided by IBM
products, refer to the E/OS SNMP Support Manual for IBM TotalStorage
Products, 620-000229-000.

SAN32M1 Fabric Switch Installation and Service Manual
Page 39
Zoning feature
The switch supports a name server zoning feature that partitions
attached devices into restricted-access groups called zones. Devices in
the same zone can recognize and communicate with each other
through switched port-to-port connections. Devices in separate zones
cannot communicate with each other.
Zoning is configured by authorizing or restricting access to name
server information associated with device N_Ports that attach to
switch fabric ports (F_Ports). A zone member is specified by the port
number to which a device is attached, or by the eight-byte (16-digit)
worldwide name (WWN) assigned to the host bus adapter (HBA) or
Fibre Channel interface installed in a device. A device can belong to
multiple zones.
If zoning is implemented by port number, a change to the switch fiber-optic cable configuration
disrupts zone operation and may incorrectly include or exclude a device from a zone.
If zoning is implemented by WWN, removal and replacement of a device HBA or Fibre Channel
interface (thereby changing the device WWN) disrupts zone operation and may incorrectly
include or exclude a device from a zone.
In Open Fabric mode, only zoning by WWN is supported. Zoning by port numbers is not.
Multiswitch fabrics
Zones are grouped into zone sets. A zone set is a group of zones that
is enabled (activated) or disabled across all switches in a multiswitch
fabric. Only one zone set can be enabled at one time.
A Fibre Channel topology that consists of one or more interconnected
switches or switch elements is called a fabric. Operational software
provides the ability to interconnect switches (through expansion port
(E_Port) connections) to form a multiswitch fabric. The data
transmission path through the fabric is typically determined by fabric
elements and is user-transparent. Subject to zoning restrictions,
devices attached to any interconnected switch can communicate with
each other through the fabric.
Because a multiswitch fabric is typically complex, maintenance
personnel should be aware that several factors can degrade fabric
performance or cause connectivity failures. These factors include:
Chapter 1: General information
7
Page 40
• Domain ID assignment - Each switch in a fabric is identified by a
unique domain ID that ranges from 1 through 31. A domain ID of
0 is invalid. If two operational fabrics join, they determine if any
domain ID conflicts exist between the fabrics. If one or more
conflicts exist, the E_Ports that form the interswitch link (ISL)
segment to prevent the fabrics from joining.
• Zoning - In a multiswitch fabric, zoning is configured on a
fabric-wide basis, and any change to the zoning configuration is
applied to all switches in the fabric. To ensure zoning is consistent
across a fabric, the following rules are enforced when two fabrics
(zoned or unzoned) join:
— Fabric A unzoned and Fabric B unzoned - The fabrics join
successfully, and the resulting fabric remains unzoned.
— Fabric A zoned and Fabric B unzoned - The fabrics join
successfully, and fabric B automatically inherits the zoning
configuration from fabric A.
— Fabric A unzoned and Fabric B zoned - The fabrics join
successfully, and fabric A automatically inherits the zoning
configuration from fabric B.
— Fabric A zoned and Fabric B zoned - The fabrics join
successfully only if the zone configurations can be merged. If
the fabrics cannot join, the connecting ports segment and the
fabrics remain independent.
Zone configurations for two fabrics are compatible (the zones can
join) if the active zone set name is identical for each fabric, and if
zones with the same name have identical elements.
• Port segmentation - When an ISL activates, the switches
exchange operating parameters to determine if they are
compatible and can join to form a single fabric. If incompatible,
the connecting E_Port at each switch segments to prevent the
creation of a single fabric. A segmented link transmits only Class
F traffic; the link does not transmit Class 2 or Class 3 traffic. The
following conditions cause ports to segment:
— Incompatible operating parameters - Either the resource
allocation time-out value (R_A_TOV) or error-detect time-out
value (E_D_TOV) is inconsistent between switches. To prevent
port segmentation, the same E_D_TOV and R_A_TOV must
be specified for each switch.
8
SAN32M1 Fabric Switch Installation and Service Manual
Page 41
— Duplicate domain IDs - One or more domain ID conflicts are
detected.
— Incompatible zoning configurations - zoning configurations
for the switches are not compatible.
— Build fabric protocol error - A protocol error is detected
during the process of forming the fabric.
— No principal switch - No switch in the fabric is capable of
becoming the principal switch.
NOTE: At least one director or switch in a multiswitch fabric must be set to
either principal or default, making it capable of becoming principal switch. If
all directors and switches are set to never principal, all ISLs will segment
(Reason code 05).
— Unresponsive switch - Each switch in a fabric periodically
verifies operation of all attached switches. An ISL segments if
the attached switch does not respond to a verification request.
— ELP retransmission failure timeout - A switch that exhibits a
hardware failure or connectivity problem cannot transmit or
receive Class F frames. The director did not receive a response
to multiple exchange link protocol (ELP) frames, did not
receive a fabric login (FLOGI) frame, and cannot join an
operational fabric.

Hubs can be interconnected to provide additional connections as
more switches (or other IBM managed products) are installed
on a network. Multiple hubs are daisy-chained by attaching RJ-45
Ethernet patch cables and configuring each hub through a mediumdependent interface (MDI) switch.
The SANpilot interface provides a GUI accessed through the Internet
(locally or remotely) to manage, monitor, and isolate problems for the
Switch. When the interface opens, the default display is the View
panel.
Chapter 1: General information
13
Page 46
Task selection tabs appear at the top of the panel, a graphical
representation of the switch hardware (front and rear) appears at the
right side of the panel, and menu selections (View, Configure, Monitor,
Operations, and Help) appear at the left side of the panel. The task
selection tabs allow personnel to perform switch-specific tasks, and
are a function of the menu selected as follows:
• View - At the Vi ew panel, the Switch (default), Port Properties, FRU
Properties, Unit Properties, Operating Parameters, and Fabric task
selection tabs appear.
• Configure - At the Configure panel, the Ports (default), Switch,
Management, Zoning, Security, and Performance task selection tabs
appear.
• Monitor - At the Monitor panel, the Port List (default), Port Stats,
Log, and Node List task selection tabs appear.
• Operations - At the Operations panel, the Switch (default), Port,
Maintenance, and Feature Installation task selection tabs appear.
• Help - The Help selection opens online user documentation that
supports the SANpilot interface.
Maintenance approach
Whenever possible, the maintenance approach instructs service
personnel to perform fault isolation and repair procedures without
degrading or interrupting operation of the switch, attached devices,
or associated applications. Switch fault isolation begins when one or
more of the following occur:
• System event information displays at the attached management
server, a remote workstation communicating with the
management server, or the SANpilot interface.
• LEDs on the switch front panel or FRUs illuminate to indicate a
hardware malfunction.
• An unsolicited SNMP trap message is received at a management
workstation, indicating an operational state change or failure.
• Notification of a significant system event is received at a
designated support center through an e-mail message or the
call-home feature.
System events can be related to a:
14
SAN32M1 Fabric Switch Installation and Service Manual
Page 47
• Switch or management server failure (hardware or software).
• Ethernet LAN communication failure between the switch and
management server
• Link failure between a port and attached device.
• ISL failure or segmentation of an E_port.
Fault isolation and service procedures vary depending on the system
event information provided. Fault isolation and related service
information is provided through maintenance analysis procedures
(MAPs) documented in Chapter 3. MAPs consist of step-by-step
procedures that prompt service personnel for information or describe
a specific action to be performed. MAPs provide information to
interpret system event information, isolate a switch failure to a single
FRU, remove and replace the failed FRU, and verify switch operation.
The fault isolation process normally begins with Map 000.
Ensure the correct switch is selected for service (if the management
server manages multiple switches or other IBM products) by enabling
unit beaconing at the failed switch. The amber system error (ERR)
LED on the switch front panel blinks when beaconing is enabled.
Instructions to enable beaconing are incorporated into MAP steps.
Remote workstation configurations
Using a standard web browser, the SAN Management application
and Element Manager applications can be downloaded and installed
on remote user workstations that are LAN-attached to the
management server.
Operators at these workstations can manage and monitor switches
controlled by the management server. A maximum of five concurrent
users (including a local user) can log in to the SAN Management
application.
Each remote workstation must have access to the LAN segment on
which the management server is installed. Switch administrative
functions are accessed through the LAN and management server. The
LAN interface can be:
• Part of the dedicated 10/100 Mbps LAN segment that provides
access to managed switches. This switch-to-management server
LAN connection is part of the equipment installation and is
required. Connection of remote workstations can be through the

Ethernet hub or through the customer intranet. A network
configuration using the customer intranet and one Ethernet
connection through the management server is shown in Figure 4.

Figure 5 Typical network configuration (two Ethernet connections)
Both Ethernet adapters in the management server provide
auto-detecting 10/100 Mbps connections. The dedicated LAN
segment that connects the management server to managed switches
and the optional customer intranet operate at either ten or 100 Mbps.
i32M1003
If only one management server connection is used and this
connection is provided through the customer intranet, functions
provided by the management server are available to all users. The
purpose for dual LAN connections is to provide a dedicated LAN
segment that isolates the management server and managed switches
from unauthorized users.
Prior to servicing a switch or management server, determine the Ethernet LAN configuration.
Installation of switches and the management server on a public customer intranet can
complicate problem determination and fault isolation.

A singlemode or multimode fiber-optic cable attaches to a port
through a pluggable small form factor (SFP) transceiver. The SFP
®
provides a duplex LC
interface, and can be detached from the
switch port for easy replacement. The following fiber-optic
transceiver types are available:
i32M1005
NOTE: All of the following transceiver types can be used in either the 1 Gbps
or 2 Gbps switches, however a 1 Gbps transceiver used in a 2 Gbps switch
will limit that port to a 1 Gbps data rate.
• Shortwave laser (1.0625 Gbps) - Shortwave laser transceivers
provide connections for transferring 1.0625 Gbps data over short
distances as follows:
— Up to 500 meters through 50-micron multimode fiber.
— Up to 300 meters through 62.5-micron multimode fiber.

• Shortwave laser (2.125 Gbps) - Shortwave laser transceivers
provide connections for transferring 2.125 Gbps data over short
distances as follows:
— Up to 300 meters through 50-micron multimode fiber.
— Up to 150 meters through 62.5-micron multimode fiber.
• Longwave laser (1.0625 Gbps) - Longwave laser transceivers
provide connections for transferring 1.0625 Gbps data up to 10
kilometers through 9-micron singlemode fiber.
• Longwave laser (2.125 Gbps) - Longwave laser transceivers
provide connections for transferring 2.125 Gbps data up to 10
kilometers through 9-micron singlemode fiber.
• Extended longwave laser (2.125 Gbps) - Two types of extended
longwave laser transceivers provide connections for transferring
2.125 Gbps data up to 20 kilometers or 35 kilometers through
9-micron singlemode fiber.
Four fans (each a separate FRU) provide cooling for the switch power
supplies and the control processor (CTP) card, as well as redundancy
for continued operation if a single fan fails.
Anyfan FRU can be replaced while the switch is operating.
Power supplies
Redundant, load-sharing power supplies step down and rectify
facility input power to provide 3.3 volt direct current (VDC), 5 VDC,
and 12 VDC to the CTP card. The power supplies also provide input
filtering, overvoltage protection, and overcurrent protection. Either
power supply can be replaced while the switch is operational.
Each power supply has a separate CTP card connection to allow for
independent AC power sources. The power supplies are input-rated
at 100 to 230 volts alternating current (VAC).
Connectors and indicators
Connectors and indicators include the:
• Initial machine load (IML) button.
Chapter 1: General information
21
Page 54
• Ethernet LAN connector.
• Green power (PWR) and amber system error (ERR) LEDs.
• Green and amber status LEDs associated with FRUs.
• RS-232 maintenance port.
Initial Machine load button
When the IML button (Figure 6 on page 19) is pressed and held for
three seconds, the switch performs an IML that takes approximately
30 seconds and resets the:
• Microprocessor and functional logic for the CTP card and loads
firmware from FLASH memory.
• Ethernet LAN interface, causing the connection to the
management server to drop momentarily until the connection
automatically recovers.
• Ports, causing all Fibre Channel connections to drop momentarily
until the connections automatically recover.
An IML should only be performed if a CTP card failure is indicated.
Do not IML the switch unless directed to do so by a procedural step
in this manual,or the next level of support. As a precaution, the IML
button is flush mounted to protect against accidental activation.
Ethernet LAN connector
The front panel provides a 10/100 megabit per second (Mbps) RJ-45
twisted-pair connector (Figure 6 on page 19) that attaches to an
Ethernet LAN to provide communication with the management
server or an SNMP management workstation. Two green LEDs are
associated with the LAN connector. When illuminated, the left LED
indicates LAN operation at 10 Mbps, and the right LED indicates
LAN operation at 100 Mbps.
Power and system error LEDs
The PWR LED (Figure 6 on page 19) illuminates when the switch is
connected to facility AC power and powered on. If the LED
extinguishes, a facility power source, power cord, or power
distribution failure is indicated.
The ERR LED (Figure 6 on page 19) illuminates when the switch
detects an event requiring immediate operator attention, such as a
22
SAN32M1 Fabric Switch Installation and Service Manual
Page 55
FRU status LEDs
FRU failure. The LED remains illuminated as long as an event is
active. The LED extinguishes when the Clear System Error Light
function is selected from the Element Manager application. The LED
blinks if unit beaconing is enabled. An illuminated ERR LED
(indicating a failure) takes precedence over unit beaconing.
Amber and green LEDs associated with switch FRUs provide status
information as follows:
• Port SFP - Amber and green LEDs to the left of the port (Figure 6
on page 19) illuminate, extinguish, or blink to indicate various
port states (operational with active Fibre Channel traffic,
operational but not communicating, beaconing, blocked, failed,
inactive, or running diagnostics).
• Fan - An amber LED at the lower left corner of each fan (Figure 7
on page 20) illuminates if the fan fails or rotates too slowly.
• Power Supply - A green LED at the upper left corner of each
power supply (Figure 7 on page 20) illuminates if the power
supply is operational and receiving AC power.
Maintenance port

If management server or customer-supplied server platform access is
not available, the SANpilot interface provides a GUI accessed
through the Internet (locally or remotely) to manage, monitor, and
isolate problems for a single switch. This interface is available with
switch firmware Version 1.2 (or later) installed, and does not replace
nor offer the full management capability of the EFC Manager and
SAN32M1 Element Manager applications.
The SANpilot interface can be opened from a standard web browser
®
running Netscape Navigator
Explorer 4.0 or higher. At the browser, enter the IP address of the
switch as the Internet uniform resource locator (URL). When
prompted at a login screen, enter a user name and password. When
the interface opens, the default display is the View panel. Service
personnel can perform the monitoring, configuration, maintenance
and diagnostic functions as follows:
4.6 or higher or Microsoft Internet
• View panel - quickly inspect and determine the operational
status of the switch, and inspect switch properties and operating
parameters, FRU properties, and Fibre Channel port properties.
• Configure panel - configure or change:
—Switch ports.
— Switch identification, date and time, operating parameters,
and network addresses.
— SNMP trap message recipients.
— User passwords.
• Monitor panel - inspect and monitor:
— Fibre Channel ports and port performance statistics.
— The active zone set.
— Event log entries, and clear the IML LED at the front panel.

— Information about attached devices (nodes).
• Operations panel - perform the following operations and
maintenance tasks:
— Enable port beaconing and perform port diagnostics (internal
and external loopback tests).
— Reset Fibre Channel ports.
— Set the switch online state.
— Upgrade switch firmware.
General tasks performed through the SANpilot interface are similar
in form and function to tasks performed through the EFC Manager
and Element Manager applications, and are therefore not
documented in this publication. For task information and
descriptions, open the online user documentation (Help selection)
that supports the interface.
This publication provides instructions for switch installation and
fault isolation using the SANpilot interface. Refer to Chapter 2,
Installation tasks for installation and configuration tasks. Refer to
Chapter 3, Diagnostics for fault isolation tasks.
SNMP trap message support
Unsolicited SNMP trap messages that indicate switch operational
state changes or failure conditions can be customer-configured to be
transmitted to up to 12 management workstations. If installed on a
dedicated Ethernet LAN, the workstations communicate directly
with each switch. If installed on a customer intranet, the workstations
communicate with switches through the management server.
SNMP data and trap messages are defined in the Fibre Channel
FE-MIB definition, a subset of the TCP/IP MIB-II definition (RFC
1213), and a custom, switch-specific MIB. Customers can install these
MIBs (in standard ASN.1 format) on any SNMP management
workstation.
Although SNMP trap messages are typically transmitted to customer
personnel only, the messages may be provided to service personnel as
initial notification of a switch problem or as information included in
the fault isolation process. Generic SNMP traps include:
• coldStart - reports that the SNMP agent is reinitializing due to a
switch reset.
46
SAN32M1 Fabric Switch Installation and Service Manual
Page 79
• warmStart - reports that the SNMP agent is reinitializing due to a
switch IPL.
• authorizationFailure - reports access by an unauthorized SNMP
manager. This trap is configurable, and is disabled by default.
Switch-specific SNMP traps specified in the custom MIB include
Fibre Channel port operational state changes and FRU operational
state changes.
If authorized through the Configure SNMP dialog box in the Element
Manager application, users at SNMP management workstations can
modify MIB variables. Switch modifications performed through
SNMP management work stations are recorded in the associated
Audit Log and are available through the Element Manager
application.
• For additional information, refer to the E/OS SNMP Support
Manual for IBM TotalStorage Products, 620-000229-000.
E-Mail and call-home support
If e-mail notification and call-home support are configured for the
switch as part of the customer support process, service personnel
may be:
• Notified of a switch problem by e-mail message, either directly or
through a system administrator at the customer site or call center.
• Assigned a service call from call center personnel upon receipt
and confirmation of a switch call-home event.
NOTE: The call-home feature may not be supported on customer-supplied
server platforms.
Tools and test equipment
This section describes tools and test equipment that may be required
to install, test, service, and verify operation of the switch and attached
management server. These tools are supplied with the switch or must
be supplied by service personnel.

• Fabric and device connectivity are evaluated, and the related
planning worksheet is complete. Refer to the IBM Products in a
SAN Environment Planning Manual for information.
• Support is available for one of the following switch management
methods:
— A browser-capable PC and Internet connectivity to support
switch management through the SANpilot interface, or
— A browser-capable PC and LAN segment connectivity to the
rack-mount management server to support switch
management through the SAN management application and
element manager applications.
• Support equipment and personnel are available for the
installation.
• The required number and type of fiber-optic jumper cables are
delivered and available. Ensure the cables are the correct length
with the required connectors.
• A customer-supplied equipment rack and associated hardware
are available (optional).
• Remote workstations or simple network management protocol
(SNMP) workstations are available (optional). Workstations are
customer-supplied and connected through a corporate or
dedicated LAN.
Task 2: Unpack, inspect, and insta ll the Ethern et hub (optional)
The SAN32M1 switch is managed through either:
• An Internet connection to a browser-capable PC (SANpilot
interface). Connection of a LAN segment with multiple switches
to the Internet may require installation of the 24-port Ethernet
hub.
• A 10/100 megabit per second (Mbps) LAN connection to both the
rack-mount management server and a browser-capable PC.
Connectivity may require installation of the 24-port Ethernet hub.
A combination of up to 48 IBM products can be configured and
managed on one network, therefore multiple, daisy-chained hubs
may be required to provide sufficient port connections.

Rack-Mount installation
To install the switch in a customer-supplied equipment rack, refer to
the Rack-Mount Kit Installation Instructions.
Task 4: Configure networ k information
The switch is delivered with the following default network
addresses:
• MAC address - the media access control (MAC) address is
programmed into FLASH memory on the CTP card at the time of
manufacture. The MAC address is unique for each switch, and
should not be changed. The address is in xx.xx.xx.xx.xx.xx format,
where xx is a hexadecimal pair.
• IP address - the factory preset default internet protocol (IP)
address is 10.1.1.10. The default IP address is also 10.1.1.10.
If Reset Configuration is selected from the element manager
application, the switch resets to the default address of 10.1.1.10.
64
SAN32M1 Fabric Switch Installation and Service Manual
Page 97
If multiple switches are installed on the same LAN, each switch
(and the management server) must have a unique IP address. One
switch can use the factory-set address, but the addresses of the
remaining switches must be changed.
NOTE: If multiple switches, other managed products, and the
management server are delivered in an equipment cabinet, all devices are
configured with unique IP addresses that do not require change. The
addresses require change only if multiple equipment cabinets are
LAN-connected.
• IBM Flexport Feature - If you have enabled additional port
function with the IBM Flexport Feature since the switch shipped
from the factory, resetting configuration will return this feature to
the factory default of only 16 ports enabled. You must re-enable
the additional ports using the Configure Feature Key dialog box
(refer to Task 16: Configure PFE Key (optional) on page 106).
NOTE: Until this feature is enabled the additional ports will appear as
Not Installed in the Port Operational State dialog box of the Hardware View
and Port List View.
• Subnet mask - the default subnet mask is 255.0.0.0. If the switch
is installed on a complex public LAN with one or more routers,
the address may require change.
• Gateway address - the default gateway address is 0.0.0.0. If the
switch is installed on a dedicated LAN with no connection
through a router, the address does not require change. If the
switch is installed on a public LAN (corporate intranet), the
gateway address must be changed to the address of the corporate
intranet’s local router.
Verify the type of LAN installation with the customer’s network
administrator. If one switch (or one equipment cabinet) is installed on
a dedicated LAN, network addresses do not require change.
If multiple switches (or multiple equipment cabinets) are installed or
a public LAN segment is used, network addresses must be changed
to conform to the customer’s LAN addressing scheme. The following
tools are required:
• A maintenance terminal (desktop or notebook PC) with:
— The Microsoft Windows 98, Windows
2000, or Windows
Millennium Edition operating system installed.
Chapter 2: Installation tasks
65
Page 98
— RS-232 serial communication software (such as ProComm
Plus™ or HyperTerminal) installed. HyperTerminal is
provided with Windows operating systems.
• An asynchronous RS-232 modem cable (provided by installation
or service personnel).
Perform the following steps to change a switch’s IP address, subnet
mask, or gateway address.
NOTE: If the subnet mask, gateway address, or any other configurable
