configure
c. Type y at the Fabric parameters prompt. For example:
Fabric parameters (yes, y, no, n): [no] y
d. Type a unique domain ID (such as the domain ID used by the previous
switch, if still available) at the Domain prompt. For example:
Domain: (1..239) [1] 3
e. Complete the remaining prompts, or press CTRL+D to accept the remaining
settings without completing all the prompts.
f. Type the following command to enable the switch:
switchEnable
6. Optional step: Specify any custom status policies for the fabric.
a. Type the following command at the prompt:
switchStatusPolicySet
b. Specify the desired status policies. To completely deactivate the alarm for a
particular condition, type
0
at the prompt for that condition.
7. Add SFPs and fiber optic cables to the ports as required.
Note: The ports and cables that are used in trunking groups must meet specific
requirements. For information about these requirements, see the IBM
TotalStorage SAN Fibre Channel Switch 3534 Model F08 User’s Guide.
a. Remove the shipping plug from the ports to be used.
b. Position the SFP so that the key (the tab near the cable end of the SFP) is
on top. Insert the SFP into the port until it is firmly seated and the latching
mechanism makes a clicking sound.
Note: The SFP is keyed so that it can only be correctly inserted into the
port. If the module does not slide in easily, try turning it over. Do not
force the module.
c. Connect the fiber-optic cables to the SFPs as appropriate to the fabric
topology. Position each cable so that the key (the ridge on one side of the
cable connector) is aligned with the slot in the SFP. Then insert the cable
into the SFP until it is firmly seated and the latching mechanism makes a
clicking sound.
Note: The cable is keyed so that it can only be correctly inserted into the
SFP. If the cable does not slide in easily, try turning it over. Do not
force the cable.
8. Verify the correct operation of the 3534 Model F08. Type the following command
at the Telnet prompt:
switchShow
This command provides information about the status of the switch and the ports.
For more information about this and other commands, see the IBM TotalStorage
SAN Fibre Channel Switch 3534 Model F08 Command Reference.
Note: IBM recommends that you back up the configuration after any initial
changes and periodically thereafter. This ensures that a complete
configuration is available if you need to install a replacement switch. For
information about backing up the configuration, see the IBM TotalStorage
SAN Fibre Channel Switch 3534 Model F08 User’s Guide.
