Configuration overview
The DC Director must be configured before it is connected to the fabric, and all of the configuration
commands must be entered through the active CP blade. The DC Director configuration includes the
following parameters:
•
IP address and subnet mask for the chassis
•
IP addresses, host names, subnet masks, and gateway addresses for both CP blades
•
Switch name
•
Domain ID for the DC Director (optional)
•
WWN for the DC Director
The DC Director WWN is initially set by the factory to match the license ID (which is based on the chassis
serial number). The WWN can be changed but the license ID cannot be modified.
The configuration information is mirrored to the standby CP blade, which allows the current configuration
to remain available even if the active CP blade fails. The configuration information for the DC Director is
stored in the WWN cards and the flash memory of the CP blades. The configuration can be backed up to
a workstation (uploaded) and then downloaded to the active CP blade if necessary.
The basic steps required for the initial configuration are:
1.
Establish a serial connection and log on to the DC Director.
2.
Set up IP addresses.
3.
Establish an Ethernet connection.
4.
Specify a switch name.
5.
Specify a domain ID for the DC Director.
6.
Verify the PID mode and connect the DC Director to the fabric.
7.
Enable software licenses.
8.
Back up the configuration.
Establish a serial connection and log on to DC Director
To establish a serial connection and log on to the DC Director:
1.
Verify that the DC Director is powered on and that POST is complete by verifying that all power LED
indicators on the port, control processor, and core switch blades display a steady green light.
2.
Remove the shipping cap from the SERVICE port on the active CP. Use the serial cable provided with
the DC Director to connect the SERVICE port on the active CP to a computer workstation. The active CP
blade is indicated by an illuminated (blue) LED.
