HP Brocade 4Gb SAN Switch for HP BladeSystem p-Class - Manual (Page 96)

96 Configuring the Core Switch 2/64 and the SAN Director 2/128
• The result of this procedure is two 64-port logical switches (domains) that communicate through
external ISLs.
• Only similar port cards can be inserted in the same logical switch (slots 1 through 4 or slots 7 through
10); you cannot install Core Switch 2/64 and SAN Director 2/128 port cards in the same logical
switch.
• Before installing Core Switch 2/64 cards in a SAN Director 2/128 chassis, review the power supply
requirements in the Core Switch 2/64 hardware reference manual and make sure you meet the
higher power requirements of the Core Switch 2/64 cards. You need enough power supplies in the
SAN Director 2/128 chassis to ensure uninterrupted performance if a power supply fails.
• You must replace both of the Core Switch 2/64 CP cards with SAN Director 2/128 CP cards running
Fabric OS v4.4.0 or later. Using dissimilar CP cards in the same chassis is not allowed.
To combine Core Switch 2/64 and SAN Director 2/128 cards in one chassis:
1. Connect to the switch and log in as admin.
2. Use the
configupload
command to back up the configuration of sw0 (slots 1 through 4).
3. Issue the
switchshutdown
command to ensure a graceful shutdown of sw0. Wait until the
command finishes and displays the message:
Cleaning up kernel modules . . . . .Done
The following is a sample output from the command:
4. Shut down the power to the switch.
For details on the
switchshutdown
command, refer to the HP StorageWorks Fabric OS 4.x
command reference guide or to the online help. For details on shutdown procedures, refer to the HP
StorageWorks Core Switch 2/64 and SAN Director 2/128 installation guide.
5. Remove the Core Switch 2/64 CP cards from slots 5 and 6 of the chassis.
6. Insert the SAN Director 2/128 CP cards into slots 5 and 6 of the chassis.
7. Insert the SAN Director 2/128 port cards into the empty side of the chassis (slots 7 through 10).
8. Restore power to the switch.
By default, the switch starts up in single domain mode (one 128-port switch) with slots 1 through 4 set
to faulty.
9. Connect to the switch and log in as admin.
