xxx Sun StorEdge Network FC Switch-8 and Switch-16 Installation and Configuration Guide • October 2001

CHAPTER

Introduction

This guide provides instructions for installing and configuring Sun StorEdge

Network FC Switch-8 and Switch-16, Sun StorEdge SAN 3.0 release, hardware and

software components. Hardware components include Fibre Channel switches, Fibre

Channel host adapters, and storage devices and enclosures. The software

components include drivers bundled with the operating system, firmware for the

switches, management tools for the switches and storage devices, volume managers,

if needed, and other administration tools.

Before installing or configuring any SAN components, you need to plan how your

site will use the SAN and identify your goals in implementing the SAN. There are

numerous options at various steps in the installation and configuration process, and

understanding the purpose of the SAN clarifies appropriate decisions for your site.

Many new features, benefits, and products are supported in this release of the SAN

products, allowing larger, more complex and more supportable configurations.

This chapter provides a list of the configuration rules that you must follow to

implement a SAN. Planning a SAN outside these rules results in an unsupported

configuration that might not perform optimally or at all.

Hardware installation of new switches is covered in this guide. Hardware

installation of host adapters and storage devices and enclosures is described in the

documentation delivered with those products.

This guide also describes software installation, starting from an installation or

upgrade of Solaris, and including firmware upgrades for any SAN component

required. Installation of administration tools such as Veritas Volume Manager or

Solstice Disk Suite, Stortools, and switch administration tools is also explained.

This guide expounds upon configuring the SAN, including initial configuration of a

switch, identifying hosts and storage, managing multiple and cascaded switches,

handling multiple paths to storage using Sun StorEdge Traffic Manager and working

with volume managers. Additionally, this guide explains managing Fibre Channel

Fabrics and name services, configuring and changing zones on switches, converting to long device names used by Fabrics and Sun StorEdge Traffic Manager, and using on-demand device creation.

New Features, Benefits, and Products

This version of the Sun StorEdge SAN Product provides new features and benefits. It delivers a larger high-performing SAN, with native Fabric host connectivity, improved manageability, an integrated multipathing solution (Sun StorEdge Traffic Management software), and support for a variety of new hardware and software products.

New Device Names

One of the most noticeable new features that require additional planning is new, longer, device names. SANs and multipath storage devices require the devices to be addressed by device-specific static global identifiers, and not by physical port IDs, which are dynamic in nature and are different across different host’s systems.

Traditionally, Solaris has named storage devices based on the controller, target ID and logical unit number (LUN) of the device. When large SANs with multiple paths to large storage arrays are constructed, this naming convention could lead to thousands of targets per controller and storage identified more than once by different controllers and targets. The new method incorporates the World Wide Name of the device into the device name used by the host.

The new names provide the benefit of uniquely identifying storage devices to the host. When using the Sun StorEdge Traffic Manager, a device with multiple connections to a host is known to that host by one name.

Note – This feature comes into play only if you use Sun StorEdge Traffic Manager or

Fabric-attached storage devices.

Examples

Old device path:

/devices/pci@f,4000/pci@4/SUNW,qlc@4/fp@0,0/ssd@3,0

New device path:

2 Sun StorEdge Network FC Switch-8 and Switch-16 Installation and Configuration Guide • October 2001

/devices/pci@f,4000/pci@4/SUNW,qlc@4/fp@0,0/ssd@w50020f200000225,0.

Old symbolic device name:

/dev/dsk/c4t3d0s2

New symbolic designation:

/dev/dsk/c4t

50020f200000225d0s2.

On-Demand Node Creation

The number of storage devices that can be attached to a host can grow to the

thousands with the advent of SANs with native Fabric connectivity. Probing all these

devices at boot time and creating device nodes can increase the boot time greatly. In

addition, a host might not need access to all of the storage devices it can access.

The Sun StorEdge Network FC Switch-16, Version 3.0, no longer creates device

nodes for every storage device attached. Instead, device nodes are created on

demand by the administrator using the cfgadm utility. The device nodes, once

created, are persistent accross reboots. The cfgadm utility, which provides on-

demand node creation, is described in greater detail in Chapter 9.

Fabric Connection of Hosts

Hosts can connect to switches in a Fabric topology, using F_Ports, allowing

construction of scalable, high performing SANs.

Cascading of Switches

Switches can now be cascaded to increase the distance between ports available in a

zone and across the entire SAN. Cascading of switches allows for distances of up to

ten kilometers between ports, supporting highly available, disaster-tolerant

configurations.

Higher Realized Bandwidth

Host connections to switch Fabric connections (F-Ports) and InterSwitch Links (ISLs)

are full duplex connections. On a one gigabit Fibre Channel link, this can provide an

aggregate two gigabits per second of bandwidth when I/Os are flowing in both

directions.

Chapter 1 Introduction 3

Support of Multiple Protocols

The StorEdge Network product supports both SCSI (FCP) and IP(FCIP) over the Fibre Channel. This allows both storage and networking applications to work on the SAN and minimizes the need for multiple networks.

FCIP can be used in any supported topology and can be used for traditional IP applications and IP file access at the same time. Simultaneous SCSI and IP traffic in the same switch zone is not currently supported.

Support for More, Heterogeneous Storage Devices

Block, sequential, and file access protocols are supported with this product. A variety of SCSI devices can be attached to the SAN, such as block-storage disks, intelligent RAID controllers, sequential FC-tape devices, robotic tape libraries and SCSI enclosure services. File-access devices, such as Network Attached Storage (NAS) and NFS devices can be attached to the SAN, as well.

Support for New Hardware and Software

This version of the StorEdge Network provides support for new Fibre Channel host adapters, such as the Sun StorEdge PCI Dual Fibre Channel Network Adapter+ and CPCI Dual Fibre Channel Network Adapter. New software support includes Multiplexed I/O Sun StorEdge Traffic Manager, allowing management and load balancing across multiple paths between a host and storage device, the newest release of Sun’s Solstice Disk Suite volume manager, SDS 4.2.1, and the StorEdge Network Data Replicator (SNDR).

Software Upgrade Only

Upgrading from previous versions of the Sun StorEdge Network FC product doesn’t have to involve any new hardware. While new hardware is supported, none is required for this version of the product.

Building Blocks for More Complex Topologies

This version of the StorEdge Area Network introduces configurations with interconnected switches. While not all configurations are supported or permitted, cascaded switches allow more reliability, speed and larger SANs.

The Switch

Either of the Sun StorEdge Network FC Switch-8 or Switch-16 units functions with a

Sun StorEdge A3500 FC array, a Sun StorEdge A5200 array, a Sun StorEdge T3 array

and STK 94840 FC Tape drives with Sun StorEdge L700/L180 Tape Libraries.

Supported Hardware

In a single switch configuration, the switch is connected to the host through a fiber-

optic cable to a Sun StorEdge PCI Fibre Channel Network Adapter. The other ports

of the switch are connected to storage devices through a fiber-optic cable.

In a cascaded configuration, two switches are connected together via InterSwitchLinks (ISL). A hard zone and a nameserver zone span both switches. All hosts connected to these zones must be on one switch, and all storage must be on the other. Cascaded switches are supported only for long distance, and long wave GBICS are required between switches.

Note – Only long wave Gigabit Interface Converters (LW GBIC) and cables are

supported for connecting the cascading switches. You must use LW GBIC and corresponding LW fiber cable if you cascade more than 500 meters.

configured initially in Fabric port mode

Zones

Zoning allows the user to divide the switch ports into zones for more efficient and secure communication among functionally grouped nodes. There are several types of zones. No port can be in all zone types simultaneously. F_Ports and TL_Ports have to be in nameserver zones, and SL zones have to be in SL zones. Nameserver zones and SL zones must also be in separate hard zones.

Hard Zones

Hard zones isolate ports through internal switch hardware; no communication across hard zone boundaries is possible. Hard zoning is desirable for security and resource dedication because it provides a way of isolating a set of ports from other ports within the Fabric.. Up to sixteen hard zones are possible within a Fabric. A particular port may be placed in only one hard zone (no overlapping hard zones). If hard zones are enabled, nameserver zones and SL zones do not communicate across defined hard zone boundaries. Nameserver zones and SL zones must also be in separate hard zones.

Nameserver Zones

Nameserverzones allow the division of the Fabric (one or more Switch chassis) into as many as 256 Fabric-wide zones; each Nameserver zone defines which ports or devices receive nameserver information. If hard zones are enabled, nameserver zones do not communicate across defined hard zone boundaries. Up to 16

12 Sun StorEdge Network FC Switch-8 and Switch-16 Installation and Configuration Guide • October 2001

nameserver zones are possible within one hard zone. Overlapping nameserver zones are not supported. In a hard zone containing F_Ports and TL_Ports, nameserver zones must be created if you need more than one zone.

SL Zones

SL zones on the switch allow the division of the Fabric into zones that define the ports that can communicate with each other. A particular port may be placed in only one SL zone (no overlapping SL zones). If hard zones are enabled, SL zones do not communicate across defined hard zone boundaries. In a hard zone consisting of SL ports, SL zones must be created if you need more than one zone.

The switch does not prevent the user from creating an SL zone spanning more than one switch; however, the current release of the Sun StorEdge FC switch requires the user not to extend the SL zone beyond one switch.

Zoning Rules

■ Only port-based zoning is supported.

■ Zones are non-overlapping, except in cascading switches, in which ISL can be

shared across nameserver zones that exist in the same hard zone.

■ Nameserver zones and SL zones must be in separate hard zones.

■ A minimum of one switch port per zone is supported.

You can have a maximum of 16 hard zones and 16 nameserver or SL zones on a 16-port switch. In a cascaded configuration (16-port to 16-port), you can configure a maximum of 16 hard zones and 30 nameserver or SL zones.

Cascading Rules

■ Hub-to-switch connectivity is not supported

■ Maximum of two switches cascaded in series

Chapter 2 Configurations 13

■ Maximum cascading distance is ten kilometers

■ In cascaded configurations, hosts cannot be connected to both switches in a single

zone with storage connected, and storage cannot be connected to both switches in a single zone. In other words, a switch zone can have remote storage only or local storage only, but cannot mix the two.

■ Switch-to-switch connection is supported for distance only

■ Only LW GBICS are supported between switches

■ Cascading is supported for nameserver zones only. These are used for Sun

StorEdge T3 array and FCIP connectivity.

■ A maximum of two switches can be connected for distance

■ Both 8-port to 16-port and 16-port to 8-port switch connectivity is supported

Rules for Adding and Removing Devices While the Hosts are Online

You can add all initial and additional storage devices while the host is online, except the Sun StorEdge A3500 FC array, which requires rebooting the host on the first LUN addition.

In high availability configurations, where alternative methods to reconstruct the data exist, a device or path to the device can be removed. Host volume management or multi-pathing software handles this device removal. For non-available configurations, the user must ensure that no host application is configured to use the device.

In the case of a Fabric configuration (nameserver zone) the user must unconfigure the device on the host. This ensures that during the boot process the host does not attempt to probe this device to create device nodes.

For details on adding a storage device, refer to “Adding Storage Devices” on page 123. For details on removing a storage device, refer to “Removing Storage Devices” on page 124.

You can add or remove a host without shutting down the SAN.

For high-availability applications, configure two sets of switches in parallel.

Zones and Arrays

See TABLE 2-7 for more information on Zones and TABLE 2-8 for more information on zones, arrays and initiators.

■ Sun StorEdge T3 arrays support SL zones and nameserver zones (or zones in

which a host has made a point-to-point Fabric connection to a switch and the Sun StorEdge T3 array is attached to a TL-port).

■ Do not mix different arrays in the same zone. A single zone can contain only Sun

StorEdge A3500FC arrays, or only Sun StorEdge A5200 arrays, or only Sun StorEdge T3 arrays.

■ You may configure a minimum of one port per zone

For example, a 16-port switch can have a maximum of 16 zones

■ Zones cannot overlap (for example, a particular port can only belong to one zone)

Zones and Storage

■ You can dynamically add storage to an SL zone, using luxadm procedures for the

Sun StorEdge A5200 array. See “Adding a Sun StorEdge A5200 Array” on page 123.

■ Segmented Loop (SL) zones and nameserver zones (translated loop zones) must

be in different hard zones on a switch.

Setting the Loop ID

Setting the loop ID of the Sun StorEdge A3500 FC array is different from the procedure for the Sun StorEdge A5200 array and for the Sun StorEdge T3 array.

▼ To Set the Loop ID of a Sun StorEdge A3500 FC

Controller

This section explains how to set the loop ID of a Sun StorEdge A3500 FC controller that is connected to a switch.

Tools and equipment needed:

■ Needle-nose pliers

■ Jumpers (supplied with the Sun StorEdge A3500/A3500FC unit)

■ Antistatic wrist strap

Every device attached to a SCSI or FC-AL bus must have a unique controller module ID number in order to communicate. The factory default ID settings for controller A and B are ID 5 and ID 4, respectively.

Caution – Do not configure more than four controller modules on the same loop.

1. Attach the antistatic wrist strap to your wrist and to the metal casing of the switch.

2. Locate the 16 pins on the rear of the FC-AL controller module (

The eight pins on the right determine the host ID for controller 1 (A); the pins on the left determine the ID for controller 2 (B).

3. Install the jumpers on the pins as shown in

If necessary, use the needlenose pliers to remove the jumpers.

▼ To Verify the Loop ID of the Sun StorEdge

A5200 and T3 Arrays

● Make sure that each array on a single loop has a unique target ID.

If two Sun StorEdge T3 arrays have the same target ID on the same FC-AL loop, the software does not recognize their presence.

Refer to the Sun StorEdge T3 documentation for information on verifying the loop ID. Refer to the Sun StorEdge A5200 documentation on verifying the loop ID for the Sun StorEdge A5200 array.

CHAPTER

Switch Activation

This chapter contains the procedures for bringing the new Sun StorEdge FC Switch

3.0 software onto the network. For more details about the switch, refer to Switch Management User ’s Manual.

“Configuring the Switch Ethernet Port” on page 57 “Installing the Sun StorEdge Network FC Switch 3.0 GUI” on page 61 “Setting the Stage Type” on page 66

Configuring the Switch Ethernet Port

The IP address of the switch is set to the default value of 10.0.0.1. You can change this default IP address using the Reverse Address Resolution Protocol (RARP), or the switch management GUI. This guide provides the procedures for changing the IP address using RARP only. To set the IP address using the GUI method, see Chapter 2 in the Sun Switch Management User’s Manual .

Using RARP to Change the IP Address

You can use RARP to change the address when you first receive the switch or if you forget the address.

The Sun StorEdge FC Switch 3.0 RARP feature automatically downloads the assigned IP address to the switch. After you cable the switch and turn the power on, the IP address is automatically assigned.

You will need the following information to change the IP address: IP address _______________________ Contact the person who maintains your

network for this information.

MAC address _____________________ See

FIGURE 5-1 and FIGURE 5-2 for the location

of the MAC Address.

Switch name ______________________ This is the assigned name of the switch you

are installing.

MAC Address

FIGURE 5-1 Sun StorEdge Network FC Switch-8 MAC Address Location

MAC Address

microsystems

FIGURE 5-2 Sun StorEdge network FC switch-16 MAC Address Location

▼ To Set the Network IP Address Using RARP:

1. On a host connected to the same subnet as the switch, save your current configuration.

2. Check that the /etc/ethers file exists.

# ls /etc/ethers

3. If you find the file, create the /etc/ethers.SAV backup file:

# cp -p /etc/ethers /etc/ethers.SAV

58 Sun StorEdge Network FC Switch-8 and Switch-16 Installation and Configuration Guide • October 2001

4. Back up the affected management station configuration files:

# cp -p /etc/nsswitch.conf /etc/nsswitch.conf.SAV # cp -p /etc/hosts /etc/hosts.SAV

5. On a host connected to the same subnet as the switch, edit the /etc/ethers file by adding the MAC address and switch name.

For example:

8:0:20:7d:93:7e

switch-name

In this example:

■ 8:0:20:7d:93:7e is the MAC address

■ switch-name is the name of the switch you are installing.

6. Edit the /etc/hosts file with the IP address and switch name.

For example:

192.129.122.111

switch-name

In this example, 192.129.122.111 is the assigned IP address.

7. Edit the /etc/nsswitch.conf file to reference the local system files.

To ensure that the Solaris software environment uses the changes made to

/etc/ethers and /etc/hosts files, edit the host and ethers entries in the /etc/nsswitch.conf file so that the files parameter appears before the [NOTFOUND=return] statements.

hosts: nis files [NOTFOUND=return] ethers: nis files [NOTFOUND=return]

8. Determine whether the RARP daemon is running by typing:

# ps -eaf | grep rarpd

Chapter 5 Switch Activation 59

9. If RARP is not running, start the RARP daemon in the Solaris software environment by typing:

# /usr/sbin/in.rarpd -ad

The IP address will now automatically download to the switch after you install the switch and power on the system.

Note – RARP might not work properly if you have connected the ethernet port of

the FC switch to an Ethernet switch; this is due to the long time it might take for the Ethernet switch to transmit the RARP. In such a case you can use the management GUI to change the IP address. See the Sun Switch Management User’s Manual.

10. Power off the switch and then power it back on.

11. Verify the switch IP address.

# ping <ip-address>

For example:

# ping 192.129.122.111

12. If the RARP daemon has started, return to the window in which the daemon was activated.

Perform the Control-C key sequence to the stop the daemon operation.

Note – The IP address setting for the switch that you obtain using RARP is not a

permanent setting until RARP is disabled.

▼ To Make the IP Address Setting Permanent

Refer to the SANsurfer Switch Management chapter of the SANbox 8/16 Switch

Management User’s Manual.

If you have the 2.0 or 2.1 GUI already installed and you have the patch for the 3.0 GUI, you can upgrade the GUI with the 3.0 patch.

1. If you want to preserve your current user administration and Fabric configurations, copy the current user administration file ( app.dat) and Fabric information file (default.fab) to another file.

2. Type:

# patchadd 110696-

▼ To Start the GUI Software

You can start the GUI in two ways:

● Use the command line and type:

/usr/opt/SUNWsmgr/bin/esm_smgr

● Use Component Manager 2.2.

a. Click the Launch button.

See the Component Manager documentation that came with your software for more details on how to install and use Component Manager.

The login window appears.

If this is the first time this switch has been logged into, or if no username and password file have been created by a superuser, use the default username and password, which is su for each one. Otherwise, use the username and password assigned during a previous session.

Chapter 5 Switch Activation 63

b. Enter the switch IP address in the Fabric window of the GUI.

It may take a few seconds for the switch icon to become gray. You can click the Refresh button.

c. After the switch icon becomes gray, click the Sun logo.

Note – If the icon remains red, it is likely that the IP address is wrong, or that the

switch cannot be accessed from that subnet, or the switch lacks power or an ethernet connection.

▼ To Verify and Load the Switch Firmware

You must have the correct firmware revision for the 3.0 version of the GUI in each switch of the Fabric. For cascaded switches, both switches must have the same firmware revision.

▼ To Verify the Firmware Revision Level of the switch(es):

Perform the following procedure for each switch.

1. Verify that the switches are not connected to each other.

2. Connect one switch to the net.

3. Launch the GUI and bring up the switch.

See “To Start the GUI Software” on page 63.

4. Open the Topology View screen.

The switch icon representing the connected switch displays in the right window pane.

64 Sun StorEdge Network FC Switch-8 and Switch-16 Installation and Configuration Guide • October 2001

5. Double-click the switch icon.

The Topology View screen is erased, and the Switch FacePlate Display screen displays.

6. Make a note of the firmware revision level.

The revision level appears on the second line of the text in the upper right corner of the Switch FacePlate Display screen.

▼ To Load the Firmware Revision

1. Locate the file containing the new firmware on the management station.

The default location is /usr/opt/SUNWsmgr/flash.

2. Choose Special>Update Flash.

The application displays a standard Open dialog box that allows you to browse to and then open the firmware revision binary file. When you select the firmware revision file, the switch checks the file for a valid checksum. Then, if the checksum is correct, the Flash load begins.

If the checksum is not correct, the application warns you.

3. Make sure you select the correct firmware file.

The firmware file for the 8-port switch is m080304xx.fls. The firmware file for the 16-port switch is m160304xx.fls. Select the filename with the highest xx number.

The application displays information about the progress of the firmware update:

■ File: The name of the firmware binary file

■ Position: Number of bytes downloaded

■ Total: The total number of bytes in the file

■ Complete: The percentage of the file sent to the chassis

When the firmware update is complete, the application displays a dialog box that states that the flash load is complete and asks whether to Reset Immediately.

4. If you want to Reset, click Yes.

Remember that a Reset operation disrupts the operation of the switch.

5. If you do not want to Reset until traffic is removed from the switch, click No.

You can perform the Reset later by choosing Special>Reset in any of the Chassis FacePlate windows.

Chapter 5 Switch Activation 65

Setting the Stage Type

After installing the GUI, you can leave the stage type to SL zoning (segmented loop) or change it to FLS-IO Transfer (IOT) mode.

SL zones enable you to divide the SL ports into multiple zones that define which ports will communicate with each other. Communications occur only between ports in the defined SL zone.

The default state type is SL zoning. IOT mode allows F-port, T-port, and TL-port configuration. Only switches in IOT mode can be cascaded together.

▼ To Change SL Zoning to FLS-IO Transfer (IOT)

1. In the Fabric window, enter the IP address of the switch in the IP Address Field.

SANsurfer finds the switch and a gray Sun icon is displayed in the status box. If a red Sun icon is displayed in the Status box, SANsurfer did not find the switch. If the red Sun icon appears, check the following:

a. Does the switch have power? b. Is the Ethernet cable plugged into the switch? c. Is the IP address on the switch the same as the IP address in the IP Address

Field in SANsurfer?

d. Do you have access to the switch from your subnet?

2. When the gray Sun icon appears, select it.

The Topology window opens.

3. In the Topology window, select Special.

4. From the Special menu, select Change Stage Type.

Changing the stage type is a disruptive event. When the stage type on one switch changes, all the switches in the Fabric change to the same stage type, and each switch resets.

5. When the prompt appears to continue, choose Yes.

After the reset, the display returns to the Fabric window.
