Chassis Configuration Process
Chassis Configuration Process
1.Physically Connect a Management Station directly to the Ethernet port of the chassis through which the fabric will be managed.
Follow the Ethernet Cabling instructions in the Switch Management manual to install the Switch (any Switch chassis in the fabric) temporarily on an isolated Ethernet network with the subnet address 10.x.x.x (By default, the Switch’s IP address is 10.0.0.1.). This network does not need to contain anything more than the Switch (the Switch, in turn, could be cabled to the rest of the chassis via its T_Ports) and a single management host to configure the Switch. You may then use the SANsurfer Switch management application to configure the Switch chassis’ Ethernet port.
2.Configure the Ethernet Port of the Switch chassis through which the fabric will be managed.
Refer to Switch Management manual for information about how to start SANsurfer, how to select the chassis whose Ethernet port you want to config- ure, and how to configure the Ethernet Port. You need to configure the Ether- net port of only one chassis in the fabric. You could configure another chassis for backup.
You must reset the Switch chassis to cause it to use its new IP Address. Reset the Switch chassis by cycling its power or using Switch Management.
Following the reset operation you may move the Ethernet connection to the Switch chassis from its temporary isolated network to its normal Ethernet network.
3.Configure the Stage Type and Chassis Number of each Chassis in the Fabric.
If you have moved to a new management station at this point you must follow the Getting Started paragraphs in SANsurfer section of the Switch Manage- ment manual to open the application and get back to the Fabric window.
If you are still using the same management station as you used to configure the Ethernet IP Address, get back to the Fabric window.
a.The Fabric window will show the fabric you created in order to configure the Ethernet connection. You may create a new fabric with a new Fabric Name and the new IP Address or you may modify the old fabric by changing its fabric name and IP Address.
