Verifying the Port Identifier mode and connecting to the fabric Before connecting the DC SAN Director to the fabric, verify that the port identifier (PID) mode on the DC SAN Director matches the other switches in the fabric. This parameter must be identical for all switches in the fabric and is set using the configure command. To connect the DC SAN Director to the fabric: 1. Add SFP optical transceivers (or XFP optical transceivers with FC10-6 port card installed) and cables to the fibre channel ports. The ports are color-coded to indicate which can be used in the same port group for trunking. (Trunking port groups can be up to 8 ports). The ports and cables used in trunking groups must meet specific requirements. Refer to the HP StorageWorks Fabric OS 6.x administrator guide. 2. Position one of the optical transceivers so that the key is oriented correctly to the port. Insert the transceiver into the port until it is firmly seated and the latching mechanism clicks. Transceivers are keyed so that they can only be inserted with the correct orientation. If a transceiver does not slide in easily, ensure that it is correctly oriented. 3. Position a cable so that the key (the ridge on one side of the cable connector) is aligned with the slot in the transceiver. Insert the cable into the transceiver until the latching mechanism clicks. Cables are keyed so that they can be inserted in only one way. If a cable does not slide in easily, ensure that it is correctly oriented. 4. Repeat steps 1 through 3 for the remaining ports. 5. Organize the cables (see "Managing cables" on page 43). 6. Verify DC SAN Director and port status using the switchShow command. 7. Verify fabric connectivity using the fabricShow command. Enable software licenses Depending on the model purchased, certain licenses are factory installed on the DC SAN Director. To determine which licenses are enabled, use the licenseShow command. swDir:admin> licenseshow AAbbccDDeeFFeeGG: Web license Zoning license Extended Fabric license Fabric Watch license Performance Monitor license Trunking license Security license In this example, the license key is AAbbccDDeeFFeeGG. Keep a copy of the license key for reference. The 64-bit chassis ID is required to obtain and activate licenses for the DC SAN Director. The chassis ID is available through the licenseIdShow command. The licenseShow and licenseIdShow commands must be typed through the active CP blade. Refer to the HP StorageWorks Fabric OS 6.2.x administrator guide. 54 DC SAN Director log in and configuration
