Installing and Configuring the Edge Switch 2/24
90 Edge Switch 2/24 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 Edge Switch. The switch port to switch port connection is called
an interswitch link (ISL). To fabric-attach the Edge Switch and create an ISL:
1. Ensure that the Edge Switch is defined to the HAFM application (defined
while performing “ Enabling HAFM to Manage the Switch ” on page 59.
2. Ensure that the preferred domain ID for the Edge Switch is unique and does
not conflict with the ID of another Edge Switch participating in the fabric. To
change the domain ID, see “
Configure Switch Operating Parameters ” on
page 67.
3. Ensure that the R_A_TOV and E_D_TOV values for the Edge Switch are
identical to the values for all Edge Switches participating in the fabric. To
change the values, see “
Configure Fabric Operating Parameters ” on page 71.
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 Edge Switch is managed by an attached HAFM appliance, go to step 7 .
If the Edge 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 that 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 2/24 Service
Manual to isolate the problem. If no problems are indicated, installation
tasks are complete.
7. At the HAFM appliance’s Product View page, double-click the Edge Switch
icon. The Hardware View page for the selected Edge Switch displays.
