4Gb SAN Switch redundancy The HP c-Class BladeSystem was engineered as a no-single-point-of-failure bladed Solution. Attributes that contribute to switch redundancy include: • Redundant power and cooling • Redundant HP Onboard Administrator (OA) to ensure management access to the SAN Switch NOTE: Th...

4Gb SAN Switch licensing The 4Gb SAN Switch integrates one of three license options that complement existing HP product lines. Some 4Gb SAN Switch models ship with licenses that place limits on the number of domains that can be used. Models and their speci fi c licenses are described next: • Brocade...

ISL trunking groups If your 4Gb SAN Switch is licensed for interswitch link (ISL) trunking, use the trunking groups available on the switch.The FC ports are numbered from left to right, and are part of the same ISL trunking group. The trunking group consists of the ports shown in Figure 2 . NOTE: IS...

Each switch must be assigned a unique Ethernet IP address during con fi guration. Once the default Ethernet IP address on the 4Gb SAN Switch has been changed, you may install additional 4Gb SAN Switches in the enclosure.See the appropriate HP BladeSystem Enclosure Setup and Installation Guide for he...

Install the 4Gb SAN Switch CAUTION: For switch revision levels 0A and 0B only (running Fabric OS versions earlier than 5.2.1b) — DHCP is not supported on these models. Do not install multiple switches at the same time with default addresses, as address con fl icts will occur. Locate switch revision ...

Setting the IP address IMPORTANT: The switch supports DHCP beginning with Fabric OS 5.2.1b fi rmware. For switches running Fabric OS 5.2.1b (switch rev 0C) or later, DHCP is enabled by default, simplifying multiple switch installations. To enable or disable this feature, login with these default cre...

Using External DHCP To set the Ethernet IP address using external DHCP: 1. Connect to the active OA via a web browser. 2. Document the DHCP-assigned address by selecting the switch from the OA GUI Rack Overview window. 3. Verify the IP address using a telnet or ssh login to the switch, or by selecti...

Con fi gure the 4Gb SAN Switch The 4Gb SAN Switch must be con fi gured to ensure correct operation within a network and fabric. For instructions about con fi guring the switch to operate in a fabric containing switches from other vendors, refer to the HP StorageWorks SAN Design reference guide : htt...

Connecting to the Command Line Interface Make an Ethernet cornnection and log into the 4Gb SAN Switch: 1. Connect the workstation to the Ethernet network containing the OA. If the OA is not on a network, connect directly to the OA/iLO Ethernet port on the active OA. IMPORTANT: Verify that the switch...

Setting the date and time Date and time are used for logging events. 4Gb SAN Switch operation does not depend on the date and time; a switch with an incorrect date and time value will function properly.To set the date and time using the CLI: 1. If you have not already done so, connect to the switch ...

Verifying installed licenses To determine the type of licensing included with your 4Gb SAN Switch, type licenseshow at the command prompt as in the following Example : Example 1. switch:admin> licenseshow XXXnnXXnXnnXXX: Fabric Watch license Release v5.0 license XXXnnXXnXnnXXX: Zoning license XXX...

Disabling and enabling a switch By default, the switch is enabled after power on and diagnostics and switch initialization routines complete. You can disable and re-enable the switch as necessary.To disable: 1. If you have not already done so, connect to the switch and log in as admin as described i...

Using Dynamic Ports On Demand (DPOD) In the past, Ports On Demand (POD) functionality was static. A preset group of ports were individually enabled per each POD license. In contrast, the new DPOD functionality does not require a prede fi ned assignment of ports. Port assignment is determined by the ...

NOTE: The DPOD feature does not consider disabled ports as candidates for license assignments. You can persistently disable an otherwise viable port to cause it not to come online and preserve a license assignment for future use. Verifying the con fi guration After setting initial parameters, verify...
