Verify the installation requirements

To set up the FCoE Converged Network Switch for the first time, you will

need the following:

•Workstation with an installed terminal emulator (such as HyperTermin-

al)

•Unused IP address and corresponding subnet mask and gateway

address

•Serial cable (supplied with the switch)

•Ethernet cable

•Access to an FTP server for backing up the switch configuration (op-

tional)

•SFP+ optics and cables, or copper cables

IMPORTANT:

Order SFP+ optics or cables separately. The FCoE Converged

Network Switch only supports SFP+ optics and cables labeled

’B-s eries," SFP+, or cable. Check http://www.hp.com for more

information on supported transceivers.

Planning the site environment

To ensure adequate cooling, install the switch with the non-port side

(which contains the air intake vents) facing the cool-air aisle. Verify that

the ambient air temperature does not exceed 40°C (104°F) and that the

ambient humidity remains between 20% and 85% while the switch is

operating.

To install and operate the switch successfully, ensure that:

•The primary AC input is 100–240 VAC, 5.0 A - 2.5 A (the switch

autosenses input voltage), 47–63 Hz.

•The primary outlet is wired correctly, protected by a circuit breaker,

and grounded in accordance with local electrical codes.

•The supply circuit, line fusing, and wire size are adequate, as spe-

cified by the electrical rating on the switch nameplate.

For specific power supply information, see the HP StorageWorks 8Gb

SAN Switch hardware reference guide.

Choosing the rack mount

HP strongly recommends installing the switch in one of the following

optional HP custom racks:

•HP StorageWorks System/e Rack

•HP StorageWorks 9000 Series Rack

•HP StorageWorks 10000 Series Rack

•HP StorageWorks 10000 G2 Series Rack

Follow these guidelines:

•Use one rack unit (1U) in a 48.3 cm (19 in) cabinet.

•Ground all equipment in the rack through a reliable branch circuit

connection, and maintain ground at all times. Do not rely on a sec-

ondary connection to a branch circuit, such as a power strip.

•Ensure that airflow and temperature requirements are being met, es-

pecially if the switch is installed in a closed or multi-rack assembly.

•Ensure that the additional weight of the switch does not exceed the

rack’s weight limits or unbalance the rack.

•Secure the rack to ensure stability in case of unexpected movement.

For additional installation, electrical, environmental, and other con-

siderations, see the HP StorageWorks 8Gb SAN Switch hardware

reference guide.

Install a standalone switch

1. Unpack the switch and verify the contents as described in Verify the

carton contents.

2. Apply the adhesive rubber feet to prevent the switch from sliding off

the supporting surface.

a. Clean the indentations at each corner on the bottom of the

switch to ensure that they are free of dust or other debris.

b. With the adhesive side against the chassis, place one rubber

foot in each indentation and press into place.

3. Place the switch on a flat, sturdy surface.

Set up a single-switch configuration

To set up a single-switch configuration, you will need the following:

•Standard screwdriver

•Fixed IP address (IPv4 or IPv6) for the switch (no DHCP server)

•Subnet mask value

•Default gateway value

•World Wide Name (WWN), located on the switch ID pullout tab

•Ethernet connection (hub or switch)

•Host computer with a Converged Network Adapter (CNA) installed

for connection to the 10-GbE CEE ports, and a Fibre Channel Host

Bus Adapter (HBA) installed for connection to the 8-Gb Fibre Channel

ports if applicable to your installation

•Ethernet and Fibre Channel cables

•Disk array with Fibre Channel ports

•Browser that allows pop-up windows

Power on the switch

1. Connect the power cords to both power supplies and then to power

sources on separate circuits to protect against AC failure.

2. Power on the power supplies by flipping both AC switches to the

position marked one (1).

The power supply LEDs are amber until power-on self-test (POST) is

complete, and then change to green.

3. After POST is complete, verify that the switch power and status LEDs

on the port side of the switch are green.

Connect the serial cable

1. Connect the serial cable to the serial port on the switch and to an

RS-232 serial port on the workstation.

If the serial port is RJ-45 instead of RS-232, remove the adapter on

the end of the serial cable and insert the exposed RJ-45 connector

into the RJ-45 serial port on the workstation.

2. Disable any serial communication programs running on the

workstation.

3. Open a terminal emulator (such as HyperTerminal on a PC, or TERM,

TIP, or Kermit in a UNIX environment), and configure the application

as follows:

For most Windows systems:

Bits per second: 9,600

Data bits: 8

Parity: None

Stop bits: 1

Flow control: None

For most UNIX systems:

tip /dev/ttyb -9600

If ttyb is already in use, try ttya instead:

tip /dev/ttya -9600

1. Verify that the switch has completed POST.

When POST is complete, the port status and switch power and status

LEDs return to a normal state.

2. When the terminal emulator stops reporting information, press Enter

to display the login prompt.

3. Log in to the switch as admin, using the default password,

password.

You are prompted to change the default password at initial login.

Set a static IP address

1. Use the ipaddrset command to set the Ethernet IP address.

• For an IPv4 address, use dotted-decimal notation:

Ethernet IP Address: 192.168.74.102

• For an IPv6 address, use colon-separated notation:

switch:admin> ipaddrset -ipv6 --add

1080::8:800:200C:417A/64

The following message confirms the change:

IP address is being changed...Done.

2. Provide the rest of the network information.

Ethernet Subnetmask: 255.255.255.0

Ethernet IP Address: 192.168.74.102

Ethernet Subnetmask: 255.255.255.0

3. Optionally, verify the IP address by entering the ipAddrShow

command at the prompt.

4. Record the IP address on the pullout tab on the port side of the switch.

5. If the serial port is no longer required, use the logout command

to log out of the serial console. Remove the serial cable and replace

the plug in the serial port.

6. Connect the Ethernet port on the switch to the Ethernet network that

has just assigned the IP address.

NOTE:

DHCP is supported. See the

Brocade Converged Enhanced

Ethernet Administrator’s Guide

to set up DHCP with the

FCoE Converged Network Switch.

Set the date and time

The date and time settings are used for logging, error detection, and

troubleshooting.

1. Using a telnet or an ssh session, connect to the switch using the

IP address just configured and log in to the switch as admin, using

the default password, password.

2. Enter the date command using the following syntax:

date "mmddHHMMyy"

•mm is the month; valid values are 01 through 12.

•dd is the date; valid values are 01 through 31.

•HH is the hour; valid values are 00 through 23.

•MM is minutes; valid values are 00 through 59.

•yy is the year; valid values are 00 through 99.

3. Enter the tsTimeZone command:

switch:admin> tstimezone [--interactive]/

[, timezone_fmt]

Use timezone_fmt to set the time zone by country/city or by

time-zone ID, such as PST. The following example shows how to

change the time zone to US/Central.

switch:admin> tstimezone

Time Zone : US/Pacific

switch:admin> tstimezone US/Central

switch:admin> tstimezone

Time Zone : US/Central

4. Enter the tsClockServer command to synchronize local time:

switch:admin> tsclockserver “<ntp1;ntp2>”

The value of ntp1 is the IP address or DNS name of the first NTP

server, which the switch must be able to access. The value of ntp2

is the second NTP server and is optional. When multiple NTP server

addresses are specified, tsclockserver sets the first obtainable

address as the active NTP server. The default value is LOCL.

switch:admin> tsclockserver

LOCL

switch:admin> tsclockserver "132.163.135.131"

switch:admin> tsclockserver

132.163.135.131

switch:admin>

Verify operation and backup configuration

1. Check the LEDs to verify that all components are functional. For

information about LED patterns, see the HP StorageWorks 8Gb SAN

Switch hardware reference guide.

2. Verify that the switch prompt is displayed on the workstation

connected to the switch.

3. Verify correct operation of the switch by issuing the switchShow

command.

4. Back up the switch configuration to an FTP server, by issuing the

configUpload command and following the prompts.

Connect the devices

1. If necessary, remove the plugs on the switch from the ports to be

used.

2. Ensure that the bail (wire handle) is in the unlocked position, and

then place the SFP+ optic in the correct position on the port. (See

Figure 2.)

3. Slide the SFP+ optic or copper cable into the port until it clicks into

place, and then close the bail.

Figure 2 Installing the FC (8Gb SFP+) and CEE (10Gb SFP+) ports

NOTE:

On the bottom of each SFP+ optic is a 10-pad

gold-plated PCB-edge connector. To insert an SFP+ optic

into the upper row of ports, the gold edge must be

down. To insert an SFP+ optic into the lower row of

ports, the gold edge must be up.

4. Check the LEDs to verify that all components are functional.

5. Verify correct operation of the switch by entering the switchShow

command from the workstation.

Configuring CEE ports for CNA connectivity

Perform the following configuration steps on the CEE ports to establish

CNA connectivity and an FCoE Converged Network Switch login. CEE

port 0/0 is displayed as an example and all user input responses are

displayed in bold.

1. Configure LLDP for the FCoE Converged Network Switch that is

common to all CEE ports.

switch:admin> cmsh

switch# enable

switch# config terminal

switch(config)# protocol lldp

switch(conf-lldp)# advertise dcbx-fcoe-app-tlv

switch(conf-lldp)# advertise dcbx-fcoe-logical-link-tlv

switch(conf-lldp)# exit

2. Create a CEE Map to carry LAN and SAN traffic common to all CEE

ports.

switch(config)# cee-map default

switch(conf-ceemap)# priority-group-table 1 weight 40 pfc

switch(conf-ceemap)# priority-group-table 2 weight 60

switch(conf-ceemap)# priority-table 2 2 2 1 2 2 2 2

switch(conf-ceemap)# exit

3. Create an FCoE Converged Network Switch VLAN and add an in-

terface, as follows:

switch(config)# vlan classifier rule 1 proto fcoe encap ethv2

switch(config)# vlan classifier group 1 add rule 1

switch(config)# interface vlan 5

NOTE:

The VLAN number can be any number except the number

one (1).

switch(conf-if-vl-5)# fcf forward

switch(conf-if-vl-5)# exit

4. Configure interfaces for each port as displayed in the following ex-

ample:

switch(config)#interface tengigabitethernet 0/0

switch(conf-if-te-0/0)# switchport

switch(conf-if-te-0/0)# switchport mode access

switch(config-if-te-0/0)# vlan classifier activate group 1 vlan 5

switch(conf-if-te-0/0)# qos flowcontrol pfc 3 tx on rx on

switch(config-if-te-0/0)# cee default

switch(config-if-te-0/0)# shutdown

switch(config-if-te-0/0)# no shutdown

switch(config-if-te-0/0)# exit

Repeat step 4 for all interfaces being configured.

5. Save the running config to flash memory as displayed in the following

output:

switch:admin> exit

switch#copy running-config startup-config

Overwrite the startup config file (y/n): y
