4.

Issue the

ipAddrSet

command to set and confirm the IP address of sw1 (sw1 takes on a default that

must be corrected).
The IP address of sw0 is already set.

5.

After the system reboots, log in again as admin to each logical switch and issue the

switchName

command to assign a name to the new switch.

6.

Using the configuration file saved in

step 3

as a guide, manually reconfigure sw0 and sw1.

Do not configure zoning parameters; these are propagated when you merge the director into the

fabric.

7.

If the fabric is in secure mode, perform the following steps; otherwise, proceed to

step 8

.

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

step 7a

and you do not want them connected, disconnect the ISL

link between them. If you did not connect them, repeat

step 7b

through

step 7d

on sw1.

8.

If you physically disconnected the switch in

step 2

, reconnect it to the fabric.

If you used the

portCfgPersistentDisable

command in

step 2

, use the

portCfgPersistentEnable

command to persistently enable all ports that connect the switch to

other switches in the fabric.

9.

Issue the

fabricShow

command to verify that sw0 and sw1 have been merged with the fabric.

10.

Issue the

configShow

command to verify that zoning parameters were propagated.

Setting the blade beacon mode

When beaconing mode is enabled, the port LEDs flash amber in a running pattern from port 0 through

port 15 and back again. The pattern continues until you turn beaconing mode off. Use the flashing LEDs

to locate a particular blade.
Setting the blade beacon mode on:

1.

Connect to the switch and log in as admin.

2.

Issue the

bladeBeacon

command:

bladebeacon slotnumber, mode

The

slotnumber

is the blade on which you want to enable beacon mode; this slot number must exist

on the logical switch. A

mode

value or 1 turns beaconing on, and 0 turns beaconing off. For example:

switch:admin> bladebeacon 3, 1

switch:admin>
