HyperStacking
HyperStacking connects two Model 9200 switches through the ICC ports on the
two pairs of CPU blades. Two HyperStack kits are required to successfully conect
two switches. Each HyperStack kit contains one HyperStack license key and two
cables. A medium crosshead screwdriver and six tie wraps are required to
successfully connect two switches. HyperStacking is not disruptive and can be
done with both switches operational or both switches powered off.
To HyperStack two switches, do the following:
1. Mount the switches in a rack, one on top of the other with no more than 1U
of space between them. A cable loom can be installed in this space.
Horizontal clearance from the CPU blades to the rack opening or door
should be 7–8 inches to allow for HyperStack cabling. Refer to the
SANbox
9000 Series Stackable Chassis Switch Rack Mounting Guide for detailed
mounting instructions.
2. Verify that the two switches have different domain IDs. If they do not, change
the domain ID of one of the switches using the Set Config Switch CLI
command.
3. Enter the Show Version CLI command to verify that the two switches have
version 7.8 firmware or later. Install version 6.6 firmware, if necessary. Refer
to
“Installing Firmware” on page 3-22 for detailed information.
4. Follow the directions on the License Key Upgrade document for each
switch. Apply the respective license keys to each switch. Refer to “Installing
Feature License Keys” on page 3-28 for detailed information.
NOTE:
QLogic 9100 model switches do not support the HyperStack feature.
