Chapter 2: Installation tasks
c. If the switch is installed in a equipment cabinet, bundle Fibre
Channel cables from the switch and other equipment (groups
of 16 maximum), and secure them in the cable management
area at the front-left side of the cabinet.
4. Set the switch online (
Set the switch online or offline
on page 349).
Task 27: Connect Switch to a Fabric Director (Optional)
To provide Fibre channel connectivity between public devices and
fabric-attached devices, connect the switch to an expansion port
(E_Port) of an IBM Director. The switch port to director port
connection is called an interswitch link (ISL). In addition:
•
If interop mode is set to McDATA Fabric, the switch can be
fabric-attached only to another McDATA switch or director.
•
If interop mode is set to Open Fabric, the switch can be
fabric-attached to IBM switches or directors, and to switches or
directors produced by other OEMs.
To fabric-attach the switch and create an ISL:
1. Ensure the switch is defined to the SAN management application
(defined while performing
Task 13: Configure the switch to the
management application
on page -101)
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, refer to
Task 19: Configure
SAN32M1 Element Manager applications
on page -126.
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, refer to
Task 19: Configure SAN32M1 Element
Manager applications
on page -126.
4. Route a multimode or singlemode fiber-optic cable (depending
on the type of SFP transceiver installed) from a
customer-specified E_Port of the switch to the director.
5. Connect the switch-attached fiber-optic cable to the port SFP
transceiver.
6. If the switch is managed by an attached management server, go to
step 7
. If the switch is managed by the SANpilot interface:
