SAN Switch 2/8V Connect one end of the power cord to the AC inlet on the switch, and the remaining end to a power source. To power on, set the AC power switch to I. The switch runs POST by default each time it is powered on, reset, or rebooted. To power off, set the AC power switch to O and remove the power cord from the power source. NOTE: Removing all power from the switch triggers a system reset. All devices are returned to their initial state the next time the switch is powered on. SAN Switch 2/16V, 2/16N and 4/32 Connect one or both power cords to the AC power inlets on the nonport side of the switch, and the remaining end to a power source. To power on, set both AC power switches to I. Power is supplied to the switch as soon as the first power supply is connected and powered on. To power off, set the AC power switch to O and remove the AC power cord from the power source. NOTE: Removing all power from the switch triggers a system reset. All devices are returned to their initial state the next time the switch is powered on. 62 Managing SAN switches Management features SAN Switches use built-in management tools to help you monitor fabric topology, check port status, and debug the switch. Table 10 lists the management applications available. NOTE: When running IP over Fibre Channel, these management tools must be supported by both HBA and HBA drivers. For a list of supported HBAs, refer to the HP StorageWorks SAN design guide: http://h18000. www1. hp. com/products/storageworks/san/documentation. html . Table 10 Management options Out-of-band support Ethernet or serial connection Ethernet connection Management tool In-band support IP over Fibre Channel CLI Up to two admin sessions and four user sessions simultaneously. Advanced Web Tools For information, refer to the HP StorageWorks advanced web tools user guide for the Fabric OS version running on your switch. Standard SNMP applications For information, refer to the HP StorageWorks mib reference guide for the Fabric OS version running on your switch. Management Server IP over Fibre Channel Ethernet connection IP over Fibre Channel Ethernet connection Native in-band interface (over HBA only) SAN Switch 2/8V, 2/16V, 2/16N and 4/32 installation guide 63 Managing SAN Switches from a single management station A management station connected to one switch via Ethernet can also be used to manage other switches connected to the first switch via Fibre Channel. To do so, set the fibre channel gateway address of each of the other switches to be managed, to the Fibre Channel IP address of the first switch. The gateway address of the first switch should be set to what ever the gateway address is for the subnet that the first switch resides on. For example: Management Station Ethernet FCIP Gateway 192. 168. 1. 09 192. 168. 65. 09 192. 168. 1. 10 First Switch 192. 168. 1. 10 192. 168. 65. 10 any not self Second Switch 204. 1. 1. 11 192. 168. 65. 11 192. 168. 1. 10 Third Switch 204. 1. 1. 12 192. 168. 65. 12 192. 168. 1. 10 The disadvantage of this method is that the management station can only address the switches. Interpreting LED activity System activity and status can be determined through the activity of the LEDs on the switch. There are three possible LED states that display either green or amber: · no light · a steady light · a flashing light The LEDs flash during boot, POST, or other diagnostic tests. This is normal and does not indicate a problem. A healthy state is indicated by a steady green light. 64 Managing SAN switches SAN Switch 2/8V, 2/16V and 2/16N LEDs The five LEDs include Switch Status, Power, Port Status, Port Speed and Ethernet. Figure 20 shows the port side of the SAN Switch 2/8V. [. . . ] The rate at which an entity can service requests. The fiber optic cabling standard that corresponds to distances of up to 10 km between devices. An internet management protocol that uses either IP for network-level functions and UDP for transport-level functions, or TCP/IP for 120 Glossary both. Can be made available over other protocols, such as UDP/IP, because it does not rely on the underlying communication protocols. SNS Simple Name Server. [. . . ]
