Installing and Configuring the SAN Director 2/128 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. SAN Director 2/128 Installation Guide 75
