Configuration Planning Tasks Task 10: Plan Phone Connections Plan for one or more telephone connections near the HAFM server for service personnel use. While performing a diagnostic or repair action, a service representative or network administrator at the HAFM server may require voice technical support through a telephone connection. Task 11: Diagram the Planned Configuration Determine peripheral devices that will connect to each director or switch, and if and where connectivity should be limited (zoning). These devices may include servers, storage control devices, and other fabric elements in a multi-switch fabric. Part of this task may have been performed when the configuration was determined. It might be helpful to draw the configuration diagram. Indicate distances in the diagram if necessary. Transfer information from the configuration diagram to the product planning worksheet provided as part of "Task 13: Complete the Planning Worksheet" on page 159. Task 12: Assign Port Names and Nicknames During the planning process, consider assigning names to director and switch ports based upon devices connected to the ports. Though not required, port naming provides convenience and ease of use. Port naming also documents devices that connect through individual ports, and identifies what is attached to each port. When it is necessary to change port connectivity, port names make it easier to identify the ports and attached end devices. Also consider assigning nicknames to device and fabric World Wide Names (WWNs). Though not required, nicknaming provides a useful substitute for the cryptic eight-byte WWN. Once a nickname is assigned, it is referenced throughout the HAFM application. Transfer port names and nicknames to the product planning worksheet provided as part of "Task 13: Complete the Planning Worksheet" on page 159. 158 SAN High Availability Planning Guide
