SAN Switch 2/16 Version 3.1.x Installation Guide
Note:
Backing up the configuration is strongly recommended. This ensures that a
complete configuration is available if required for a replacement switch. For
instructions on how to back up the configuration, refer to “
Backing Up System
Configuration Settings
” in Chapter 4.
Installing Multiple Switches into an Existing SAN
Use these steps to set up more than one edge switch in an existing SAN.
1. Connect the appropriate components as outlined in the installation section of
this chapter.
2. Connect the power cord to the AC connector on the switch. The switch
performs POST.
■
If a malfunction occurs during POST, error messages are written to the
switch error log and can be viewed by a telnet or terminal session when
the POST session completes.
■
If the malfunction prohibits the switch from completing the boot process
(fatal error), the switch stops the boot process. If the switch does not fully
boot, the switch prompt will not be displayed when the Serial port is
connected.
3. Connect the Serial cable, provided in the package contents, between a host
computer and the Serial port of the switch. See the “
Setting Network
Addresses via a Serial Connection
” earlier in this chapter, to make a Serial
connection through a workstation and to set the IP address.
