NOTE: Be sure to configure the TR_Port before connecting the remote fabric to the HP StorageWorks 8/20q Fibre Channel Switch. If the remote fabric is connected to a port on the HP StorageWorks 8/20q Fibre Channel Switch that is not a TR_Port, the two fabrics may establish an E_Port connection and the local and remote fabrics may merge. This mixed fabric is not supported . If the port type is changed to TR_Port after connecting the remote fabric, a port reset may be required to completely establish the connection. 3. Map local devices to remote devices and activate the connection. The mapping process creates an inter-fabric zone (IFZ) in the active zoneset consisting of the local device, the remote device, and the TR_Port. When the mapping is complete, the new zoneset is activated. The name of the inter-fabric zone begins with IFZ followed by the lowest device port WWN followed by the remaining port WWN, all uppercase, separated by underscores (_). For example, consider the following local and remote device WWNs: • Local device: 21:00:00:e0:8b:0e:d3:59 • Remote device: 22:00:00:04:cf:a8:7f:2d The inter-fabric zone name would be: IFZ_210000E08B0ED359_22000004CFA87F2D 4. Apply the same inter-fabric zone that was created on the local fabric to the active zoning on the remote fabric. The application creates a suggested list of commands during the mapping process that, when run on a remote fabric consisting of HP StorageWorks B-series or C-series switches, will make the necessary zoning changes to the remote fabric. See the HP StorageWorks 8/20q Fibre Channel Switch QuickTools Switch Management User Guide or the HP StorageWorks 8/20q and SN6000 Enterprise Fabric Management Suite User Guide for important details on creating and using this list of suggested commands. When modifications to the active zoning on both fabrics are complete, the transparent routing connection becomes active, and the local devices will discover the remote devices. Switch services You can configure your switch to suit the demands of your environment by enabling or disabling a variety of switch services. Familiarize yourself with the following switch services and determine which ones you need. • Telnet: Provides for the management of the switch over a Telnet connection. Disabling this service is not recommended. The default is enabled. • Secure Shell (SSH): Provides for secure remote connections to the switch using SSH. Your workstation must also use an SSH client. The default is disabled. • GUI Management: Provides for out-of-band management of the switch with Simple SAN Connection Manager, QuickTools, Enterprise Fabric Management Suite, SNMP, and SMI-S. If this service is disabled, the switch can only be managed inband or through the serial port. The default is enabled. • Inband Management: Provides for the management of the switch over an inter-switch link using Simple SAN Connection Manager, QuickTools, Enterprise Fabric Management Suite, SNMP, or management server. If you disable inband management, you can no longer communicate with that switch by means other than an Ethernet or serial connection. The default is enabled. • Secure Socket Layer (SSL): Provides for secure SSL connections for the QuickTools web applet, Enterprise Fabric Management Suite and SMI-S. This service must be enabled to authenticate users through a Remote Authentication Dial-in Service (RADIUS) server. To enable secure SSL connections, you must first synchronize the date and time on the switch and the workstation. Enabling SSL automatically creates a security certificate on the switch. The default is disabled. • QuickTools web applet (EmbeddedGUI): Provides for access to the QuickTools web applet. QuickTools enables you to point at a switch with an internet browser and manage the switch through the browser. The default is enabled. • Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP): Provides for the management of the switch through third-party applications that use the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP). Security consists of a read community string and a write community string that serve as passwords that control read and write access to the switch. These strings are set at the factory to these well-known defaults and should HP StorageWorks 8/20q Fibre Channel Switch Installation and Reference Guide 23
