Configuring Core Switch 2/64, SAN Director 2/128, and 4/256 SAN Director
5.
Use the
configure
command to configure the sw0 to match your fabric specifications.
If the director is to be merged into an existing fabric, do not configure zoning parameters; these are
propagated when you merge the director into the fabric.
6.
Log in to the second logical switch (sw1) as admin.
7.
Use the
configure
command to configure the sw1 to match your fabric specifications.
If the director is to be merged into an existing fabric, do not configure zoning parameters; these are
propagated when you merge the director into the fabric.
8.
If the fabric is in secure mode, perform the following steps; otherwise, proceed to
.
(See the HP StorageWorks Secure Fabric OS administrator guide for specific instructions.)
a. Optional: To configure sw0 and sw1 in one operation, connect them with an ISL link to form a
temporary fabric.
b. If you want sw0 and sw1 to be FCSs, update the overall fabric’s FCS policy to include them. If not,
skip this step.
c. On sw0, enable security mode and use the
secModeEnable
command to create an FCS list that
matches your overall fabric’s FCS policy.
d. Reset the version stamp on sw0.
e. If you connected sw0 and sw1 in
and you do not want them connected, disconnect the ISL
link between them. If you did not connect them, repeat
through
on sw1.
9.
Optional: Connect the new two-domain SAN Director 2/128 to the fabric.
10.
Issue the
fabricShow
command to verify that sw0 and sw1 have been merged with the fabric.
11.
Issue the
cfgShow
command to verify that zoning parameters were propagated.
Converting an installed SAN Director 2/128 to support two domains
Fabric OS versions earlier than 4.4.0 supported only one domain for SAN Director 2/128s (one
128-port logical switch). When you upgrade a SAN Director 2/128 to Fabric OS 4.4.0 or later, you can
use the
chassisConfig
command to specify two domains for the director (two 64-port logical switches,
sw0 and sw1). This conversion is for SAN Director 2/128s using configuration option one (one switch,
FC2-16 cards installed).
NOTE:
This procedure restores most configuration parameters to factory defaults. After performing this
procedure, you must check the new configuration and reconfigure those parameters that you customized
in the old configuration.
During this procedure, power is reset and the CP blades are rebooted, so traffic on the fabric is disrupted.
If the fabric is in secure mode, enabling security on the new domains is a complicated task. Do not
convert existing core switches.
1.
Connect to the switch and log in as admin.
2.
If the director is already in a fabric, minimize disruption by removing the director from the fabric using
one of the following methods:
• Physically disconnect the director.
• Use the
portCfgPersistentDisable
command on all connected remote switches to
persistently disable their ports that are connected to the director, or remove ISLs that connect the
SAN Director 2/128 to the current fabric.
3.
Issue the
chassisConfig
command to change the configuration from the default (one domain) to
two domains. The following command reboots the system:
chassisconfig 2
During the conversion, you are prompted to save the configuration of sw0. Follow the prompts to save
the configuration file.
