Edge Switch 2/32 Installation Guide
Connect the Switch to a Fabric
To provide Fibre Channel connectivity between public devices and fabric-attached
devices, connect the switch to an expansion port (E_Port) of an HP director or
switch. The switch port to switch port connection is called an interswitch link
(ISL). To fabric-attach the switch and create an ISL:
1. Ensure the switch is defined to the
HAFM
application (defined while
performing “
Enabling HAFM to Manage the Switch
” on page 46).
2. Ensure the preferred domain ID for the switch is unique and does not conflict
with the ID of another switch participating in the fabric. To change the
domain ID, see “
Configure Switch Operating Parameters
” on page 55.
3. Ensure the R_A_TOV and E_D_TOV values for the switch are identical to the
values for all switches participating in the fabric. To change the values, see
“
Configure Fabric Operating Parameters
4. Route a multimode or single mode fiber-optic cable (depending on the type of
SFP transceiver installed) from a customer-specified E_Port of the switch to
the switch.
5. Connect the switch-attached fiber-optic cable to the port SFP transceiver.
6. If the switch is managed by an attached HAFM server, go to
step 7
. If the
switch is managed by the Embedded Web Server interface:
a.
Choose
View
at the left side of the window. The
View
window opens with
the
Switch
tab selected and displayed.
b.
At the
View
window, click the
Port Properties
tab. The
Port Properties
page displays with
0
selected, and port information listed for port 0.
c.
Choose the port number of the port used to make this ISL connection.
d. Ensure the
Operational State
field displays
Online
and the
Reason
field
displays
N/A
or is blank. If an ISL segmentation or other problem is
indicated, refer to the
HP StorageWorks Edge Switch 2/32 Service Manual
to isolate the problem. If no problems are indicated, installation tasks are
complete.
7. At the HAFM server’s
Product View
page, double-click the switch icon. The
Hardware View
page for the selected switch displays.
