1.2 Serial Attached SCSI and the SAS6160 Switch

SAS replaces Ultra320 SCSI as the next phase in the evolution of the SCSI standard. The SAS interface addresses enterprise data storage and retrieval requirements with features such as point-to-point topology, 6.0Gb/s transfer rate, minimum arbitration overhead, native support for both SAS and SATA drives, and smaller cables and connectors.

In SAS storage environments, the SAS6160 switch allows connection of multiple targets and initiators through a switched device for manageable scalability. The integrated SDM application provides a central management point to view the SAS topology, manage other switches or expanders in the domain, and to configure zoning to provide exclusive access between endpoints in the domain. The SAS6160 switch allows data centers to benefit from the improved performance, minimum arbitration overhead, simplified cabling, and lower system implementation costs of SAS and SATA, while easing migration from Direct Attached Storage.

Figure 1: The LSISAS6160 Switch

The SAS6160 switch uses two LSISAS2x36 6Gb/s SAS expanders, which are compliant with the ANSI Serial Attached SCSI specification and support SATA as defined in the

Serial ATA: High Speed Serialized AT Attachment and the Serial ATA II: Port Selector Specification.

The SAS6160 switch functions as a single expander and offers advanced hardware management with an external power supply module, and two enclosure fans, and temperature and power supply voltage sensing/alerts. The switch is housed in a compact chassis for easy shelf placement in rack mounted server clusters.

NOTE: The two connectors on the upper left of the face plate (port 0 and port 2) support active cabling for longer cable runs. Passive cables may also be connected to these ports for normal cable runs.

| SAS Phys, Ports, and Connectors

1.3 SAS Phys, Ports, and Connectors

Phys and ports are a basic concept of SAS. A phy is the basic physical connection point for a SAS device. A phy contains a single transmitter and receiver, which communicate across a SAS link to a single transmitter and receiver in another phy, as the following figure illustrates.

Figure 4: Link between Two Single SAS Phys

Each single-phy link (also called a narrow port) supports a maximum bandwidth of 600 MB/s (6Gb/s) per direction, with a total bandwidth of 1200 MB/s full duplex in both directions.

A SAS wide port consists of more than one SAS phy (an 8-phy SAS port is also possible) that transmit and receive data by using the same SAS address when connected to another SAS wide port. In other words, the port is created dynamically when the connection is made. The following figure shows both a narrow port and a wide port.

Figure 5: Narrow and Wide SAS Ports

The SAS6160 switch has 64 phys, numbered 0 through 63. Each of the 16 SAS connectors on the switch case (numbered 0 through 15 in this document) contains four phys, making them wide ports.

During normal operation, the SAS connectors on the switch are cabled to SAS connectors on initiator devices or target devices. This connection creates a wide SAS port through which data is transmitted and received.

Page 10 LSI Corporation | September 2010

LSISAS6160 SAS Switch User Guide Chapter 1: Overview

| SAS Connectors and Cabling

1.4 SAS Connectors and Cabling

Use a separate crossover cable for each server, JBOD, RAID array, switch, or other device connected to the SAS6160 switch. Use Mini SAS 4x connectors (also called SFF-8088 connectors) on both ends of the crossover cables to connect the switch to all devices.

The keyed connectors at port 0 and port 2, located at the upper left on the SAS6160 switch, support active cabling. This allows longer cable lengths and requires a special type of cable. These cables are keyed so that they do not attach to a passive connector. However, you can attach a passive cable to a connector that supports active cabling.

Chapter2, Installation and Hardware Setup provides information about recommended

cable lengths.

The following figure shows a crossover cable with Mini SAS 4x connectors on both ends.

Figure 6: Mini SAS 4x Cable

All cables used with the SAS6160 switch must comply with the SAS 2.1 standard.

LSI Corporation | September 2010 Page 11

| SAS Routing and Zoning

LSISAS6160 SAS Switch User GuideChapter 1: Overview

1.5 SAS Routing and Zoning SAS is a connection-oriented, point-to-point technology. When a host (initiator) issues

a request to read or write data, the SAS6160 switch automatically determines how to route the connection request from the initiator to the correct data storage device (target). By default, any SAS initiator or target connected to the SAS6160 switch can access any other connected initiator or target in the SAS domain, without restrictions. However, because the SAS domain grows to include multiple hosts and multiple storage volumes, you can segregate one host from another host, or restrict one host from accessing storage owned by another host.

SAS zoning partitions the SAS topology to isolate selected hosts from each other, or to allow selected hosts to access only selected storage volumes. The SAS6160 switch supports the full SAS 2.0 T10 zoning model.

There are several benefits to zoning, which can be configured accordingly:

 Security – Zoning prevents users from accessing information that is not available to

them.

 Manageability – Zoning reflects operational categories, such as marketing or

engineering. Zoning also can partition hosts that run different operating systems, to minimize conflicts.

 Performance – Zoning enables faster boot time because the host must discover

only the storage within its zone or zones.

1.5.1 SAS Zoning Overview SAS zoning access control is implemented by linked switch/expander devices, with

zoning enabled. These devices define a Zoned Portion of a Service Delivery System (ZPSDS). No host device intervention is required. Each zoning switch/expander device maintains an identical zone permission table, so zone access control is maintained across the entire ZPSDS.

Initiators and targets see only the portions of the ZPSDS to which they are assigned in the zone permission table. These zoned portions are called zone groups. Zone groups are activated when they belong to a set. When the set is enabled, the zoning is enforced. When the set is disabled, the zoning disappears. There can be more than one set in a ZPSDS, and initiators and targets can belong to more than one set, but only one set can be active. In addition, there can be more than one ZPSDS in a SAS domain.

A ZPSDS has a zone manager for its configuration and management. The SDM utility (see Chapter3, SAS Domain Manager Graphical User Interface) is embedded in the SAS6160 switch to configure the zone manager.

Page 12 LSI Corporation | September 2010

LSISAS6160 SAS Switch User Guide Chapter 1: Overview

The following figure shows a simple example of zoning.

| SAS Routing and Zoning

Figure 7: Simple Zoning Example

1.5.2 Creating SAS Zones You create SAS zones by first creating zone groups that include hosts or storage devices

that share common access privileges, and zone sets that connect the zone groups together. Use the SDM utility to create zones. The SDM-GUI utility provides zoning wizards to create zone groups and zone sets automatically. You also can create zone groups and zone sets manually by using the SDM utility.

The following rules apply to zone groups and zone sets:

 Only phys on the edge of the ZPSDS can be grouped into administrator-defined

zone groups. Phys that interconnect zoning expanders are automatically placed into Zone Group 1.

 An administrator defines zone group permissions. This procedure allows end

devices attached to, or downstream of, the zoned phy to communicate with one another.

 Zoning limits a host's access to only the targets downstream of zoned phys in which

its zone phy is granted zoning permission to access. A host may access all logical unit numbers (LUNs) behind the SAS phy, and it does not restrict access to individual storage LUNs.

 You may create up to 248 zone groups within a single zone set.

 SAS phys within a zone group cannot automatically access each other, but you may

grant them access privileges.

 You may grant a zone group permission to access multiple zone groups, if required.

 A zone group may be a member of more than one zone set.

 A phy may be a member of only one zone group per zone set.

LSI Corporation | September 2010 Page 13

| SAS Routing and Zoning

LSISAS6160 SAS Switch User GuideChapter 1: Overview

 A zone set must be active for its definitions to be applied to the SAS domain. Zone

sets are activated in the SDM utility.

 Only one zone set can be active at one time. When no zone set is active, zoning is

disabled and domain access is unrestricted.

 Changes to the active zone set (for example, a change to zone group or zone set

membership, or a change to zone group permissions) do not take effect until the next zone set activate command.

 When the SAS topology changes (for example, when a host or storage attachment

is moved from one switch connection to another) you must manually redefine zone group permissions within the active zone set. The switch does not do this task automatically. Changes to the active zone set do not take effect until the zone set is updated and reactivated.

 Zoning is managed throughout the ZPSDS formed around the SAS6160 switch,

used to manage zoning, and any SAS 2.0 zoning expanders that can be linked back to it without crossing a nonzoning expander. When zoning is enabled, zone group and permission data are migrated automatically between the SAS6160 switches and the SAS 2.0 zoning-enabled expanders throughout the ZPSDS. If a storage configuration includes a legacy expander that is not zoning-enabled, that expander and its attached devices inherit the zone group and permissions of the zone phy to which it is connected.

 To create a high-availability (failover) configuration, use one SAS6160 switch for

each data path between the host and the shared storage. SAS allows for only a single path between endpoints. See Figure13 for more information.

Page 14 LSI Corporation | September 2010

LSISAS6160 SAS Switch User Guide Chapter 1: Overview

1.5.3 Configuring SAS Zones The following figure shows a sample configuration with three hosts and five JBODs.

Figure 8: Configuration for Zoning Example

| SAS Routing and Zoning

Host 1 belongs to a local work group and accesses JBOD 1 as its primary resource. But Host 1 also accesses JBOD 2, JBOD 3, and JBOD 4, as a backup resource.

Host 2 is a backup server, and has JBOD 2, JBOD 3, and JBOD 4 as its primary resource, but also accesses JBOD 1.

Host 3 is a web server, and has exclusive access to JBOD 5, but also accesses JBOD 2, JBOD 3, and JBOD 4 for backup.

Because Host 1 and Host 2 have the same JBOD access requirements, you can define them as a single zone group. You can define JBOD 2, JBOD 3, and JBOD 4 as a zone group because they are always used together as a backup resource.

LSI Corporation | September 2010 Page 15

| Connecting Devices to the SAS6160 Switch

To create a suitable configuration, run the SDM utility and create the zone groups shown in the following figure.

LSISAS6160 SAS Switch User GuideChapter 1: Overview

1.6 Connecting Devices to the SAS6160 Switch

Figure 9: Creating Zone Groups

Next, use the SDM utility to assign the following permissions, by creating zone sets:

 Zone group 6 accesses zone groups 8 and 9, and vice versa.

 Zone group 7 accesses zone groups 9 and 10, and vice versa.

The rules for connecting devices to the 16 SAS connectors on the SAS6160 switch are as follows:

 Any SAS initiator can be connected to any SAS connector on the switch.

 Any SAS target can be connected to any SAS connector on the switch. A target can

be a RAID array, a JBOD, or another switch. Individual SAS drives or SATA drives may not be connected to the switch.

 Switches can be cascaded by connecting any SAS connector of the downstream

switch to any SAS connector on the upstream switch.

 When SAS zoning is used, and multiple SAS6160 switches are used in the domain,

the switches can be cabled directly to one another.

 Two switches can be connected with more than one cable to increase bandwidth

between switches.

 All SAS connectors on the switch are Mini SAS, wide port style connectors. In

addition, connector 0 and connector 2 are keyed for active cables (see Section1.4,

SAS Connectors and Cabling).

 All connections must be x4. For any other configuration, contact your field

applications engineer.

 Maximum connections allowed:

— Six cascaded expanders with each switch counting as one expander

Page 16 LSI Corporation | September 2010

LSISAS6160 SAS Switch User Guide Chapter 1: Overview

— Four cascaded switches — A total of 64 total expanders in the topology

The following examples show several ways in which you can connect devices to the SAS6160 switch.

The first example (Figure10) shows four servers (host bus adapters) and five JBODs connected to the SAS6160 switch.

| Connecting Devices to the SAS6160 Switch

Figure 10: Example 1, Multiple Servers and JBODs

A single rack can contain the switch and all the other devices. The configuration requires nine SAS cables with a Mini SAS connector on each end. Depending on the way in which zoning is set up for the devices, all servers could access data on all the JBODs, or servers could be restricted to accessing a subset of the JBODs.

The second example (Figure11) shows eight servers and one RAID array connected to the SAS6160 switch.

Figure 11: Example 2, Multiple Servers and One RAID

LSI Corporation | September 2010 Page 17

| Connecting Devices to the SAS6160 Switch

LSISAS6160 SAS Switch User GuideChapter 1: Overview

A separate cable with a Mini SAS connector on each end is used for each connection. All eight servers can access data on the RAID array. If more storage capacity is required in the future, the RAID array could be expanded, or a configuration with a second cascading switch could be created, as shown in the next example.

The third example (Figure12) shows eight servers and one cascading switch connected to the SAS6160 switch. Several JBODs and RAID arrays connect to the other switch.

NOTE: Example 5 and example 6 also show configurations with cascading switches.

Figure 12: Example 3, Multiple Servers and a Cascading Switch

This example shows how you can cascade two SAS6160 switches to increase the number of devices in the SAS domain. Like in Example 1, all of the servers can access all the data storage devices, or you can implement a zoning configuration to restrict the access.

Page 18 LSI Corporation | September 2010

LSISAS6160 SAS Switch User Guide Chapter 1: Overview

The fourth example (Figure13) shows a server connected through two SAS6160 switches to two input connectors on a JBOD for a high-availability configuration.

| Connecting Devices to the SAS6160 Switch

Figure 13: Example 4, High Availability

This dual porting configuration provides the server a redundant path through the switches for high availability. If one of the switches or connections fails, the server can still access the JBOD through the other connection.

LSI Corporation | September 2010 Page 19

| Connecting Devices to the SAS6160 Switch

The fifth example (Figure14) shows a large data storage network that includes two SAS6160 switches and several expanders.

NOTE: Expanders are either zoning expanders or nonzoning expanders. When SAS drives are attached to a zoning expander, each drive can be zoned individually and each drive can be in its own zone group. When SAS drives are attached to a nonzoning expander, they cannot be zoned individually. All the drives behind a nonzoning expander must be in the same zone group as the expander.

LSISAS6160 SAS Switch User GuideChapter 1: Overview

Figure 14: Example 5, Large Data Storage Topology

A complex zoning configuration like this one could potentially include hundreds of SAS initiators and targets. This flexible arrangement can easily be expanded without extensive cabling changes. The SDM utility detects newly added SAS devices during device discovery. You can use the SDM utility to modify and expand the storage configuration.

NOTE: For zoning to function correctly, you must cable SAS6160 switches directly to one another, or through SAS 2.0 zoning expanders.

Page 20 LSI Corporation | September 2010

LSISAS6160 SAS Switch User Guide Chapter 1: Overview

The sixth example (Figure15) shows a daisy chain, or cascaded, switch configuration, with four SAS6160 switches. This example assumes that various SAS targets and SAS initiators are attached to the other connectors on the switches.

| Connecting Devices to the SAS6160 Switch

Figure 15: Example 6, Cascaded Switches

Like in Example 3, the cables in this example can run from any connector of the downstream switch to any connector in the switch above it. The cascade sequence is limited to four switches.

LSI Corporation | September 2010 Page 21

| Connecting Devices to the SAS6160 Switch

Example 7 (Figure16) shows a star (tree) configuration of four switches, with switch B, switch C, and switch D connected directly to switch A. Like in Example 6, this example assumes that various SAS targets and SAS initiators are attached to the other connectors on the switches.)

LSISAS6160 SAS Switch User GuideChapter 1: Overview

Figure 16: Example 7, Switches in a Star (Tree) Configuration

NOTE: The cables can run from any connector of switches B, C, and D to any connectors

on the central switch A. You can attach more switches to the other connectors on switch A. You also can attach additional switches B, C, or D.

environment that exceeds the maximum recommended ambient temperature of 50 ºC (122 ºF).

When installing the switch, consider the following information:

 The acceptable temperature and humidity operating ranges for installation and

operation of the switch are as follows:

— Temperature Range: 5–50 ºC (dry bulb) — Relative Humidity Range: 5%–90% noncondensing — Maximum Dew Point Temperature: 32 ºC

 Install the SAS6160 switch in a site free from strong electromagnetic field

generators (such as motors), vibration, and dust.

 Allow some space at the back of the switch (where the fans intake air) for proper

ventilation.

 The AC power adapter is rated at 100 V to 240 V, and 50 Hz to 60 Hz.

2.3.1 Installing the SAS6160 Self A special shelf is available for mounting one or two SAS6160 switches in a standard

| Installing the SAS6160 Switch

rack. These options are shown in the following figure.

Figure 2: One or Two SAS6160 Switches on a Rack Mounted Shelf

To assemble and mount the shelf in a rack, follow these steps:

1. Unpack the SAS6160 shelf. Ensure that there is a shelf and two shelf rails along with eight screws and four clips.

2. Insert the two side rails from the back of the shelf, as shown in the following figure.

Figure 3: Inserting Side Rails into the Shelf

These rails allow adjustment of the shelf to fit different rack depths. Make sure the mounting ears on the rails are turned out as shown.

LSI Corporation | September 2010 Page 25

| Installing the SAS6160 Switch

3. Bolt the shelf onto the vertical rails in the rack, as shown in the following figure.

LSISAS6160 SAS Switch User GuideChapter 2: Installation and Hardware Setup

Figure 4: Mounting Shelf in a Rack

The mounting ears on the shelf rails are threaded, so place them on the inside of the vertical rack rails, and insert the bolts from the outside, as shown.

The mounting ears on the shelf itself are not threaded, so mount them with clip nuts.

4. Finally, place the SAS6160 switch and its inline power supply on the shelf. The switch enclosure fits onto a raised rib on the shelf to hold it securely in place.

When power is available at the connector side of the switch, route power cords along the enclosure on the far left or far right of the shelf.

The SAS6160 switch is now ready for connection to a host.

| Connecting SAS and SATA Hardware

2.6 Connecting SAS and SATA Hardware

The SAS6160 switch centralizes management for all SAS initiators and SAS targets in the SAS domain. The SAS ports on the SAS610 switch are by default both in ports and out ports. Depending on the requirements, you can attach each port to a SAS host bus adapter, a SAS or SATA JBOD, a RAID array, or a SAS expander. You cannot connect the SAS6160 switch to individual SAS drives or SATA drives. You can use any SAS port on the SAS6160 switch to cascade to any port on another SAS6160 switch to increase the size of the storage configuration.

See Chapter 1 for examples of various kinds of hardware configurations. Chapter 1 also explains the types of SAS connectors and cables that are needed for these configurations.

Chapter 3

SAS Domain Manager Graphical User Interface

This chapter explains how to use the SAS Domain Manager Graphical User Interface (SDM-GUI) application to configure and monitor storage configurations with the LSISAS6160 SAS switch. The SDM-GUI utility is a Java Web Start application, and the LSISAS6160 SAS switch functions as an HTTP server that launches it. You can run the SDM-GUI utility from a browser by pointing the browser to the switch’s IP address.

SDM-GUI has an easy-to-use graphical interface that enables you to manage the host switch, and other switches or expanders within the domain in which the host switch resides. You can use the interface to view domain information, create and modify aliases, and manage zone groups and zone sets.

| SDM-GUI Accounts

3.1 SDM-GUI Accounts You can run SDM from a user account or from an admin account.

 The user account allows you to view the domain topology, configuration, and

operating environment. The default password is user.

 The admin account allows you to view the same information as the user account. In

addition, it allows you to change the configuration of the domain and of the managed devices within the domain. The default password is admin.

 The SAS6160 switch’s zone manager password is handled separately. Its default

password is lynx.

3.2 Starting SDM-GUI Follow these steps to start SDM-GUI:

1. Open a web browser and point it to the switch’s IP address or host name.

Java Web Start downloads and launches the SDM-GUI automatically.

The Password window appears.

2. Enter your user name and password.

3. Click Login.

| Domain Tab

LSISAS6160 SAS Switch User GuideChapter 3: SAS Domain Manager Graphical User Interface

3.6 Domain Tab The Domain tab, which is available only in the admin account, has commands that

manage aliases, zone groups, and zone sets. In addition, it has several wizards for domain configuration and management tasks. To use the specific commands described in this section, click the hyperlinks on the Domain tab.

3.6.1 Alias Management The Alias Management options enable you to create, modify, and delete aliases.

3.6.1.1 Create/Modify Aliases Use the Create/Modify Aliases option to create or modify aliases. An alias is a

user-defined name that is bound to a specific SAS Address. After you create an alias, you can use it anywhere that you would normally use a SAS address. Aliases are convenient because they can be easy-to-remember names such as Summit, Turbo, Node100, and so on.

Figure 6: Create/Modify Aliases

To assign an alias, click on a node in the tree on the left of the window and type an alias of up to 24 characters in the field on the right. Click Apply to assign the alias. You can change existing aliases in addition to assigning new ones.

Page 40 LSI Corporation | September 2010

LSISAS6160 SAS Switch User Guide Chapter 3: SAS Domain Manager Graphical User Interface

Alias names must be unique and must not resemble valid SAS addresses (16 hexadecimal characters that start with the number 5). The only special characters you can use in an alias are pound (#), dash, and underscore. The tree displays aliases only for the devices presently in the domain. To see aliases for other devices, use the View/Delete Aliases command.

3.6.1.2 View/Delete Aliases Use the View/Delete Aliases command to display a list of all aliases associated with the

focused domain, including aliases assigned to devices that are not presently in the domain. You also can also this command to delete aliases.

| Domain Tab

Figure 7: View/Delete Aliases

To delete an alias, select the check box next to it and click Delete.

3.6.2 Automatically Configure Zone Groups and Zone Sets

Zoning wizards simplify zone set creation. The Automatically Configure Zone Groups and Zone Sets commands include three wizards that can automate the configuration of zone groups and zone sets.

3.6.2.1 Initiator Isolation Wizard The Initiator Isolation Wizard creates a zone set that isolates initiators from one another,

while exposing all targets to each other. Use the Initiator Isolation Wizard to automatically configure a zone set and two associated zone groups based on a snapshot of the current domain. Each window of the wizard includes instructions to guide you through the configuration process.

After it prompts you to type the zone set name (maximum of 28 characters), the wizard checks the domain to determine if any initiators or targets are attached to the ZPSDS at the same point and share a common ZPSDS entry point. If so, the topology cannot support this zoning configuration, and the wizard terminates with an error message.

LSI Corporation | September 2010 Page 41

| Domain Tab

LSISAS6160 SAS Switch User GuideChapter 3: SAS Domain Manager Graphical User Interface

If the topology supports the configuration, the wizard builds two zone groups: one for the initiators, and one for the targets, with the names <zone set name> + #001 and <zone set name> + #002. The wizard scans through the domain and assigns to one zone group all the ZPSDS entry point phys that are upstream from initiators. The wizard assigns to another zone group all the ZPSDS entry point phys that are upstream from targets. The wizard then sets up permissions to allow the two zone groups to communicate with each other, but it prevents phys in one zone group from making connections to each other. When you click the Apply button, the wizard creates the zone set and the two associated zone groups.

3.6.2.2 Connector Wizard Use the Connector Wizard to automatically configure a zone set and associated zone

groups by grouping connectors on the edge of the ZPSDS. Each window of the wizard includes instructions to guide you through the configuration process.

The wizard uses a snapshot of the current domain to identify the connectors on the edge of the ZPSDS and then displays a list of these connectors. (The list does not include connectors that link expanders within the ZPSDS.) Type the zone set name (maximum of 28 characters) and bundle the connectors into zones by selecting one or more connectors from the list. You can define multiple zones as needed in order to meet your zoning requirements. Zones can overlap, but the wizard removes zones that are subsets of larger zones. You can delete the defined zones by selecting the check box and clicking the Delete button.

After you define all the zones, the wizard uses the zone definitions to create the minimal number of zone groups and to configure their permissions. The wizard creates one zone group per defined zone, populating the zone group with the phys associated with the connectors in that zone, and setting up permission for the phys in the zone group to communicate with each other.

The wizard then compares each zone group to all other zone groups, including zone groups created during this process, searching for phys that are in both zone groups. If it finds any such phys (parents), it creates a new zone group (child) and moves the identified phys to the child. The wizard then grants permission for the child’s phys to communicate with each other, as well as with the phys of the two parent zone groups.

If one of the parent zone groups is emptied in this process, the wizard transfers all permissions from the parent to the child. Empty zone groups are later ignored and are not transferred to the zone manager.

The wizard creates the zone set and associated zone group when you click the Apply button. It assigns to zone groups the names <zone set name> + #001, <zone set name> + #002, and so on. If the number of generated zone groups exceeds the maximum number of 248, the wizard displays an error message.

NOTE: If phys on the edge of the ZPSDS are associated with connectors, then their connectors are displayed in the selection list. If phys on the edge of the ZPSDS are not associated with connectors, but they have formed into ports (they are connected to a device), then ports are displayed in the selection list. If phys on the edge of the ZPSDS are not associated with connectors, and have not formed into ports, individual phys are displayed in the selection list.

Page 42 LSI Corporation | September 2010

LSISAS6160 SAS Switch User Guide Chapter 3: SAS Domain Manager Graphical User Interface

3.6.2.3 End Device Wizard Use the End Device Wizard to automatically configure a zone set and associated zone

groups by grouping end devices. Each window of the wizard includes instructions to guide you through the configuration process.

This wizard uses a snapshot of the current domain to determine the available end devices and then displays lists of initiators and targets. Type the zone set name (maximum of 28 characters) and bundle one or more initiators with one or more targets into a zone by selecting them from these lists. You can define multiple zones as needed in order to meet your zoning requirements. Zones can overlap, but zones that are subsets of larger zones are removed. The wizard forces devices that share the same ZPSDS entry point (siblings) into the same zone by automatically selecting all siblings when you select a single sibling. You can delete the defined zones by selecting the check box and clicking the Delete button.

After you define all the zones, the wizard uses the zone definitions to create the minimal number of zone groups and to configure their permissions. The wizard creates one zone group per defined zone, populating the zone group with the ZPSDS entry point phys of the end devices in that zone, and setting up permission for the phys in the zone group to communicate with each other.

| Domain Tab

The wizard creates the zone set and associated zone group when you click the Apply button. The wizard assigns to zone groups the names <zone set name> + #001, <zone set name> + #002, and so on. If the number of generated zone groups exceeds the maximum number of 248, the wizard displays an error message.

Chapter 4

SAS Domain Manager Command Line Interface

This chapter explains how to use the commands supported by the SAS Domain Manager Command Line Interface (SDM-CLI) with the LSISAS6160 SAS switch. SDM-CLI can be accessed using a telnet client.

SDM-CLI has powerful, flexible commands that allow you to manage the host switch,

and other switches or expanders within the domain in which the host switch resides.

| Command Usage and Syntax

4.1 Command Usage and Syntax

To start the embedded SDM-CLI, open a telnet session to the switch’s IP address or host name. You will be prompted to login.

The syntax for CLI commands is as follows:

command [arguments] In this syntax,[arguments] may consist of any combination of the following:

 [optional]: Optional argument

 (a|b): Choose between a or b

 <string>: User-supplied value or string

SDM does not allow spaces in file names and paths, even if the operating system allows them. All user-supplied names (domains, aliases, zone groups, zone sets, etc.) are case sensitive.

Use the up and down arrow keys to access a small command history buffer. Use the left and right arrow keys to edit commands.

SDM-CLI provides two accounts that control access and privileges: user and admin.

 The user account permits you to view the domain topology, configuration, and

operating environment. The default password is user.

 The admin account permits you to view domain information. It also grants

permission to use commands that may change the configuration of the domain or of managed devices within the domain. The default password is admin.

 The LSISAS6160 zone manager is handled separately. Its default password is lynx.

| SDM-CLI Commands

LSISAS6160 SAS Switch User GuideChapter 4: SAS Domain Manager Command Line Interface

4.2 SDM-CLI Commands There are two types of SDM-CLI commands:

 Extra-Domain commands manage SDM-D itself and to control the domain focus of

the Intra-Domain commands.

 Intra-Domain commands manage a single domain at a time.

Each command description indicates whether the command is Extra-Domain or Intra-Domain.

NOTE: You can use shortcuts when you type commands. In the following command descriptions, the bolded letters indicate the minimum characters that are necessary to recognize the command.

4.2.1 Domain Command (Extra-Domain) Use the domain command to perform the listed tasks.

Authority: User for domain. Admin for all other variations.

Syntax:

domain focus <domain name>

Usage:

 domain focus <domain name>

Changes the domain on which SDM-CLI is focused. Embedded SDM only supports a single domain.

4.2.2 Help Command (Extra-Domain) Use the help command to display the SDM-CLI command line help.

Authority: User

Syntax:

help [<command>]

Usage:

 help [<command>]

Displays detailed help for a specific command if you provide the [<command>] name. Otherwise, it displays a list of all available commands.

Page 60 LSI Corporation | September 2010

LSISAS6160 SAS Switch User Guide Chapter 4: SAS Domain Manager Command Line Interface

4.2.3 Passwd Command (Extra-Domain) Use the passwd command to change the password for an account

| SDM-CLI Commands

after prompting for the admin password. Passwords must have between four and 16 characters.

Authority: Admin

Syntax:

passwd (admin | user)

Usage:

 passwd admin

Starts a dialog to change the password for the admin account.

 passwd user

Starts the following dialog to change the password for the user account:

SDMCLI> passwd user passwd user Please enter the current 'admin' password: ***** Please enter the new password for user: ***** Please re-enter the new password for user: ***** Password changed.

4.2.4 Quit Command (Extra-Domain) Use the quit command (or the exit or logout command) to log out

and exit SDM-CLI.

Authority: User

Syntax:

exit logout quit

4.2.5 Alias Command (Intra-Domain) Use the alias command to create or delete aliases. An alias is a

user-defined name that is bound to a SAS address. After you create an alias, you can use it anywhere that you would normally use a SAS address.

NOTE: You can assign only a single alias to a SAS address.

SDM does not use aliases directly. For example, if you use an alias to define a zone group, SDM does not track the alias in the zone group’s structures. Instead, it tracks the SAS address bound to the alias. Therefore, the zone group is not affected if you make subsequent changes to the alias.

Authority: Admin

Syntax:

alias create <name> <sas address> alias delete (single <name> | all [noconfirm])

LSI Corporation | September 2010 Page 61

| SDM-CLI Commands

LSISAS6160 SAS Switch User GuideChapter 4: SAS Domain Manager Command Line Interface

Usage:

 alias create <name> <sas address>

Creates an alias that is bound to a specific device within the domain. The alias name can have a maximum of 24 characters. Valid characters are 0 through 9, A through Z, a through z, #(pound), -(dash), and _(underscore). An alias name must not closely resemble a valid SAS address (16 hexadecimal characters that start with a 5).

 alias delete single <name>

Deletes a single specified alias.

 alias delete all [noconfirm]

Deletes all aliases. If you specify the [noconfirm] option, the deletion occurs immediately without an additional confirmation prompt. Otherwise, SDM first prompts you to confirm the action.

4.2.6 Device Command (Intra-Domain) Use the device command to manage individual devices (LSI expanders)

within the domain.

Authority: Admin

Syntax:

address> <mask> <gateway>) Configure IP address for the switch.

Usage:

 device (<sas address>|<alias>) reset [noconfirm]

Resets a device after user confirmation. If you specify the [noconfirm] option, the reset occurs immediately without an additional confirmation prompt. Otherwise, SDM first prompts you to confirm the action.

 device (<sas address>|<alias>):<phy> reset

Resets a phy.

 device (<sas address>|<alias>):<phy> reset counters

Clears a phy’s counters.

 device (<sas address>|<alias>):<phy> disable

Disables a phy until the next device reset.

 device (<sas address>|<alias>):<phy> enable

Enables a previously disabled phy.

 device (<sas address>|<alias>) update <file> <ip address>

Installs a new firmware image on the specified device and automatically resets the device after a successful update. SDM checks to ensure that the product identification of the image matches the targeted device. The targeted device is responsible for any other image validation.

group membership. Zonegroup commands have no effect on the active zone set until you reactivate it.

Authority: Admin

Syntax:

zonegroup add <name> (<sas_address>|<alias>):<phy> zonegroup create <name> zonegroup delete ((single <name>)|(all [noconfirm])) zonegroup remove <name> (<sas_address>|<alias>):<phy> zonegroup rename <old> <new>

Usage:

 zonegroup add <name> (<sas address>|<alias>):<phy>

Adds a phy to an existing zone group.

NOTE: Phys internal to the ZPSDS must be in Zone Group 1. Therefore, exclude them from this command.

 zonegroup create <name>

4.2.9 Zoneset Command (Intra-Domain) Use the zoneset command to manage zone sets and zone

| SDM-CLI Commands

set membership.

NOTE: Only the zoneset activate and zoneset deactivate commands affect the state of the active zone set. Other zone group commands and zone set commands have no effect until you subsequently activate the zone set.

Authority: Admin

Syntax:

zoneset activate <name> zoneset add <name> <zone group> <zone group> zoneset create <name> zoneset deactivate zoneset delete (single <name> | all [noconfirm]) zoneset passwd zoneset remove <name> <zone group> <zone group> zoneset rename <old> <new>

Usage:

 zoneset activate <name>

Activates a zone set after prompting you for the zone manager password. Only a single zone set can be active at a time, so this command also deactivates the current active zone set before it activates a new one. Changes to the active zone set, or changes to zone group permissions, do not take effect until the next zone set activates.

NOTE: Depending on the zoning configuration and how SDM accesses a domain, you might not always be required to enter a valid Zone Manager Password to modify or disable zoning after it is enabled. You can apply changes made to the active zone set by reactivating it. SDM-D validates the zone set within the current topology when activation occurs.

 zoneset add <name> <zone group> <zone group>

Adds two zone groups to an existing zone set, which gives them permission to communicate with one another. The maximum number of zone groups is 248 for a zone set.

NOTE: A phy can only be a member of one zone group per zone set.

 zoneset create <name>

Creates a new zone set. The zone set name can have a maximum of 32 characters. Valid characters are 0 through 9, A through Z, a through z, #(pound), -(dash), and _(underscore).

 zoneset deactivate

Deactivates the active zone set after it prompts you for the zone manager password.

LSISAS6160 SAS Switch User GuideChapter 4: SAS Domain Manager Command Line Interface

NOTE: Zoning within the domain is disabled when no zone set is active, and access is unrestricted. Therefore, all end devices in the domain can see one another.

 zoneset delete single <name>

Deletes a single zone set.

 zoneset delete all [noconfirm]

Deletes all zone sets. If you specify the [noconfirm] option, the action occurs immediately without an additional confirmation prompt. Otherwise, SDM first prompts you to confirm the action.

 zoneset passwd

Starts a dialog to change and synchronize the password on all zoning expanders throughout the domain. Passwords are text strings that contains any valid ASCII character. The maximum password length is 32 characters.

NOTE: The default zone manager password is lynx.

 zoneset remove <name> <zone group> <zone group>

Removes communication privileges between two zone groups in an existing zone set. A zone group is purged from the zone set if no other communication privileges remain.

 zoneset rename <old> <new>

Renames an existing zone set.

Troubleshooting

This chapter contains troubleshooting information for the LSISAS6160 SAS switch.

The following table lists several common issues related to the SAS6160 switch and the remedies for them.

Table 1: Common Troubleshooting Issues and Remedies

Issue Remedy

The password for the admin account is lost and you cannot access the switch-management capabilities.

When trying to log in to the SDM-GUI utility from a Microsoft Windows Server 2003 system, the system stalls at the loading screen.

You have changed the default IP address of the SAS6160 switch, but you forgot the address and you can no longer access the switch through the Ethernet.

All ports are showing yellow LEDs, but you still have SAS traffic.

Reset the switch to factory defaults by pressing the reset switch and power cycling the switch. This process resets both the admin and user account passwords to their default values, clears all alias and zoning data, and clears the event log.

In Internet Explorer, select Tools-->Internet Options--> Security. Click the Trusted Sites icon, then click Sites... Add the IP address of the SAS6160 switch to the list of trusted websites.

To retrieve the IP address through an in-band connection, use the Xip utility supplied on the CD that ships with the SAS6160 switch. To list the available expanders in your topology, run the command:

xip -i get avail

This lists all expanders in your topology with the switch IP address next to each switch SAS address. Alternately, you can query information (including IP address) from an individual expander by using its SAS address. For example, if the SAS address is 500062b15555557f, to list information specific to that expander, use the command:

xip -i 500062b15555557f get exp

This could be caused by either the master controller or slave controller failing. The switch functions at half performance. Contact your vendor to replace the switch.
