3.
Issue the
chassisconfig
command to change the configuration from the default (one domain) to
two domains. This command reboots the system.
chassisconfig 2
During the conversion, you are prompted to save the configuration of sw0. Follow the prompts to save
the configuration file.
4.
After the system reboots, log in again as admin to each logical switch.
5.
Using the configuration file saved in
as a guide, manually reconfigure sw0 and sw1.
Do not configure zoning parameters; these are propagated automatically when you merge the
director into the fabric.
6.
If the fabric is in secure mode, perform the following steps; otherwise, proceed to
.
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.
7.
If you physically disconnected the switch in
, reconnect it to the fabric.
If you used the
portcfgpersistentdisable
command in
, use the
portcfgpersistentenable
command to persistently enable all ports that connect the switch to
other switches in the fabric.
8.
Use the
fabricshow
command to verify that sw0 and sw1 have been merged with the fabric.
9.
Use the
configshow
command to verify that zoning parameters were propagated.
Combining Core Switch 2/64 and SAN Director 2/128 cards
in one chassis
You can preserve your investment in legacy equipment by combining Core Switch 2/64 cards and SAN
Director 2/128 cards in one chassis.
The following procedure assumes that:
•
The Core Switch 2/64 has one logical switch (sw0, slots 1 through 4) populated with port cards. (You
can perform the same procedure on sw1 slots 7–10.) The other side of the chassis is empty.
•
Fabric OS firmware v4.4.0 or later is already installed on the new SAN Director 2/128 CP cards.
The result of the procedure is a system populated with four Core Switch 2/64 port cards in slots
1 through 4, two SAN Director 2/128 CP cards in slots 5 and 6, and four SAN Director 2/128 port
cards in slots 7 through 10 and configured with two domains.
Consider the following rules and guidelines:
•
Because this procedure requires power reset and rebooting, traffic on the fabric is disrupted.
•
You should be familiar with the standard procedures for shutting down the equipment. Refer to the HP
StorageWorks Core Switch 2/64 and SAN Director 2/128 installation guide, which contains more
details on disconnecting an HP StorageWorks model from the network and fabric.
