Configuring the Core Switch 2/64 and the SAN Director 2/128
4.
After the system reboots, log in again to the first logical switch (sw0) as admin.
5.
Use the
configure
command to configure the sw0 to match your fabric specifications.
If the director is to be merged into an existing fabric, do not configure zoning parameters; these are
propagated automatically when you merge the director into the fabric.
6.
Log in to the second logical switch (sw1) as admin.
7.
Use the
configure
command to configure the sw1 to match your fabric specifications.
If the director is to be merged into an existing fabric, do not configure zoning parameters; these are
propagated automatically when you merge the director into the fabric.
8.
If the fabric is in secure mode, perform the following steps; otherwise, proceed to
. (Refer to the
HP StorageWorks Secure Fabric OS user guide for specific instructions.)
a. Optionally, to configure sw0 and sw1 in one operation, connect them with an ISL link to form a
temporary fabric.
b. If you want sw0 and sw1 to be fabric configuration servers, update the overall fabric’s FCS policy
to include them. If not, skip this step.
c. On sw0, enable security mode and use the
secmodeenable
command to create an FCS list that
matches your overall fabric’s FCS policy.
d. Reset the version stamp on sw0.
e. If you connected sw0 and sw1 in
and you do not want them connected, disconnect the ISL
link between them. If you did not connect them, repeat
through
on sw1.
9.
Optional: Connect the new two-domain SAN Director 2/128 to the fabric.
10.
Issue the
fabricshow
command to verify that sw0 and sw1 have been merged with the fabric.
11.
Issue the
cfgshow
command to verify that zoning parameters were propagated.
Converting an installed SAN Director 2/128 to support
two domains
Fabric OS versions earlier than v4.4.0 supported only one domain for the SAN Director 2/128 (one
128-port logical switch). When you upgrade a SAN Director 2/128 to Fabric OS v4.4.0 or later, you
can use the
chassisconfig
command to specify two domains for the director (two 64-port logical
switches, sw0 and sw1).
NOTE:
This procedure restores most configuration parameters to factory defaults. After performing this
procedure, you must check the new configuration and reconfigure those parameters that you customized
in the old configuration.
During this procedure, power is reset and the CP cards are rebooted, so traffic on the fabric is disrupted.
If the fabric is in secure mode, enabling security on the new domains is a complicated task. You should
avoid converting existing core switches.
1.
Connect to the switch and log in as admin.
2.
If the director is already in a fabric, minimize disruption by removing the director from the fabric using
one of the following methods:
• Physically disconnect the director.
• Use the
portcfgpersistentdisable
command on all connected remote switches to
persistently disable ports that are connected to the director.
