3 Managing the 8-Gb SAN Switches The 8-Gb SAN Switches are designed for high availability and low failure; they do not require any regular physical maintenance. They include diagnostic tests and field-replaceable units for the HP StorageWorks 8/40 and 8/80 SAN Switches, the Encryption SAN Switch and the FCoE Converged Network Switch. This chapter describes the following topics: • Configuring the Encryption SAN Switch, page 55 • Interpreting LED activity, page 56 • Port side LED activity for the 8/80 SAN Switch, page 60 • Nonport side LED activity for the 8/80 SAN Switch, page 62 • Interpreting POST results, page 68 • Maintaining the 8Gb SAN Switch, page 69 • Installing Field-Replaceable Units (FRUs), page 70 • Replacing the 8/40 SAN Switch power supply and fan assembly, page 72 • 8/80 fan assembly overview, page 73 • Replacing an 8/80 SAN Switch or Encryption SAN Switch power supply, page 76 • SAN Switch management features, page 78 Configuring the Encryption SAN Switch NOTE: See the Fabric OS Encryption Administrator's Guide for the procedures that configure the encryption functions. If the Encryption SAN Switch is being configured for the first time for encryption services, you must perform the following pre-initialization tasks related to configuring the encryption node (switch): • Generate the Critical Security Parameters (CSPs) and certificates • Load and set up the certificates • Establish a trusted link (SKM Appliance) • Configure the global parameters and policies of the encryption group • Generate and back up the master key in SKM environments • Handle key-vault high-availability • Configure cluster interconnect After completing the pre-initialization tasks, you may need to perform several tasks related to configuring the encryption group. Figure 22 summarizes the flow of encryption configuration tasks. 8-Gb SAN Switch hardware reference manual 55
