• Fabric zoning is sent to the switch from the fabric. • All 8 Gb/s ports will be GL_Ports. • The default IP address 10.0.0.1 is assigned to the switch without configuring a gateway or boot protocol (RARP, BOOTP, and DHCP). If you are adding a new switch to a fabric and do not want to accept the default fabric configuration: 1. If the switch is not new from the factory, reset the switch to the factory configuration before adding the switch to the fabric by selecting Restore Factory Defaults from the Switch menu. 2. If you want to manage the switch through the Ethernet port, configure the IP address using the Network Properties dialog box or the Configuration Wizard. 3. Configure any special switch settings. To open the Zoning Config dialog box, select Zoning > Edit Zoning Config. 4. Plug in the ISLs, but do not connect the devices. 5. Configure the port types for the new switch using the Port Properties dialog box. 6. Connect the devices to the switch. 7. To make any necessary zoning changes, select Zoning > Edit Zoning to open the Edit Zoning dialog box. Replacing a failed switch The Restore menu option is not available for the switches being managed in-band through the fabric management switch. You can only restore a switch out-of-band via Ethernet connection to the fabric management switch. Certain parameters are not archived, and these are not restored by QuickTools. For more information, see "Archiving a switch" on page 77 and "Restoring a switch" on page 77. Use the following procedure to replace a failed switch for which an archive is available. 1. Turn off the power to the failed switch and disconnect the AC cords. Note port locations and remove the interconnection cables and small form-factor pluggable (SFPs). 2. Remove the failed switch. 3. Mount the replacement switch in the location where the failed switch was removed. 4. Install the SFPs using the same ports as were used on the failed switch. Do not reconnect inter-switch links, target devices, and initiator devices at this time. Doing so could invalidate the fabric zoning configuration. 5. Attach the AC cords and power up the switch. 6. Restore the configuration from the failed switch to the replacement switch: a. Open a new fabric through the replacement switch. b. Open the faceplate display for the replacement switch. Select Switch > Restore. c. In the Restore dialog box, enter the archive file from the failed switch or browse for the file. d. Click Restore. 7. Select Switch > Reset Switch to reset the replacement switch to activate the configuration formerly possessed by the failed switch including the domain ID and the zoning database. 8. Reconnect the inter-switch links, target devices, and initiator devices to the replacement switch using the same ports as were used on the failed switch. Transparent Router IMPORTANT: The SSCM application can manage HP SN6000 Fibre Channel Switches with active TR_Ports; however, SSCM cannot manage or discover remote switches or devices in the remote fabric. Use QuickTools and the storage management interface to present LUNs to remote devices. SSCM displays the remote fabric as a grayed-out switch, and no management can be performed. SSCM version 3.0 or later is required for the HP SN6000 Fibre Channel Switch. SSCM version 2.0 and earlier versions do not support the management of fabrics that include switches with active TR_Ports and may disrupt communication between an HP SN6000 or 8/20q Fibre Channel Switch and the remote fabric. 24 Managing fabrics

Managing fabrics

•

Fabric zoning is sent to the switch from the fabric.

•

All 8 Gb/s ports will be GL_Ports.

•

The default IP address 10.0.0.1 is assigned to the switch without configuring a gateway or boot

protocol (RARP, BOOTP, and DHCP).

If you are adding a new switch to a fabric and do not want to accept the default fabric configuration:

If the switch is not new from the factory, reset the switch to the factory configuration before adding the

switch to the fabric by selecting

Restore Factory Defaults

from the Switch menu.

If you want to manage the switch through the Ethernet port, configure the IP address using the Network

Properties dialog box or the Configuration Wizard.

Configure any special switch settings. To open the Zoning Config dialog box, select

Zoning > Edit

Zoning Config

Plug in the ISLs, but do not connect the devices.

Configure the port types for the new switch using the Port Properties dialog box.

Connect the devices to the switch.

To make any necessary zoning changes, select

Zoning > Edit Zoning

to open the Edit Zoning dialog

box.

Replacing a failed switch

The Restore menu option is not available for the switches being managed in-band through the fabric

management switch. You can only restore a switch out-of-band via Ethernet connection to the fabric

management switch. Certain parameters are not archived, and these are not restored by QuickTools. For

more information, see ”

Archiving a switch

” on page 77 and ”

Restoring a switch

” on page 77.

Use the following procedure to replace a failed switch for which an archive is available.

Turn off the power to the failed switch and disconnect the AC cords. Note port locations and remove

the interconnection cables and small form-factor pluggable (SFPs).

Remove the failed switch.

Mount the replacement switch in the location where the failed switch was removed.

Install the SFPs using the same ports as were used on the failed switch. Do not reconnect inter-switch

links, target devices, and initiator devices at this time. Doing so could invalidate the fabric zoning

configuration.

Attach the AC cords and power up the switch.

Restore the configuration from the failed switch to the replacement switch:

Open a new fabric through the replacement switch.

Open the faceplate display for the replacement switch. Select

Switch > Restore

In the Restore dialog box, enter the archive file from the failed switch or browse for the file.

Click

Restore

Select

Switch > Reset Switch

to reset the replacement switch to activate the configuration formerly

possessed by the failed switch including the domain ID and the zoning database.

Reconnect the inter-switch links, target devices, and initiator devices to the replacement switch using the

same ports as were used on the failed switch.

Transparent Router

IMPORTANT:

The SSCM application can manage HP SN6000 Fibre Channel Switches with active

TR_Ports; however, SSCM cannot manage or discover remote switches or devices in the remote fabric. Use

QuickTools and the storage management interface to present LUNs to remote devices. SSCM displays the

remote fabric as a grayed-out switch, and no management can be performed. SSCM version 3.0 or later is

required for the HP SN6000 Fibre Channel Switch. SSCM version 2.0 and earlier versions do not support

the management of fabrics that include switches with active TR_Ports and may disrupt communication

between an HP SN6000 or 8/20q Fibre Channel Switch and the remote fabric.
