For information on setting the PIDs, refer to the HP StorageWorks Fabric OS 4.2.x Procedures User Guide. To connect the SAN Director 2/128 to the fabric, follow these steps: 1. Add SFP transceivers and cables to the fibre channel ports, as required. The ports are color-coded to indicate which ones can be used in the same trunking groups: four ports marked with solid black ovals alternate with four ports marked with oval outlines. The ports and cables used in trunking groups must meet specific requirements. For a list of these requirements, refer to the "ISL Trunking" section of the HP StorageWorks Features 4.2.x User Guide. 2. Position one of the SFP 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.

SAN Director 2/128 Installation Guide
Connect to the Fabric and Configure Fabric Parameters
Before connecting the SAN Director 2/128 to the fabric, verify that all the
switches in the fabric use the correct port identifier (PID) settings. For information
on setting the PIDs, refer to the
HP StorageWorks Fabric OS 4.2.x Procedures
User Guide
.
To connect the SAN Director 2/128 to the fabric, follow these steps:
1.
Add SFP transceivers and cables to the fibre channel ports, as required.
The ports are color-coded to indicate which ones can be used in the same
trunking groups: four ports marked with solid black ovals alternate with four
ports marked with oval outlines. The ports and cables used in trunking groups
must meet specific requirements. For a list of these requirements, refer to the
“ISL Trunking” section of the
HP StorageWorks Features 4.2.x User Guide
.
2.
Position one of the SFP 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. For instructions that are specific to the transceiver model, refer to the
transceiver manufacturer’s documentation.
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; then, insert into the transceiver until
the latching mechanism clicks.
Cables are keyed so that they can only be inserted with the correct orientation.
If a cable does not slide in easily, ensure that it is correctly oriented.
4.
Repeat step 1 through step 3 for the remaining ports.
5.
Organize the cables as required. For recommendations regarding cable
management, refer to the “
Managing Cables
” on page 63.
6.
Check the SAN Director 2/128 for switch and port status by entering the
switchshow
command at the prompt.
The
switchshow
command provides detailed information about the switch.
For more information about this command, refer to the
HP StorageWorks
Fabric OS 4.2.x Command Reference Guide
.
7.
Check the fabric for ISLs, switch names, or other status by entering the
fabricshow
command at the prompt.
