3–Installation Installing a Switch

For Solaris: Modify the /etc/remote file and locate the hardwire entry. Choose the :dv=/dev/term/ setting to match the workstation port (a or b) to which you connected to the switch.

4.Proceed to “Power Up the Switch” on page 3-13.

Connect the Workstation to the Switch

You can manage the switch using Enterprise Fabric Suite 2007, the QuickTools web applet, or the command line interface. Enterprise Fabric Suite 2007 and QuickTools require a connection to the CPU0 Ethernet port. The command line interface can use an Ethernet connection or a serial connection to the primary CPU blade. Choose a switch management method, then connect the management workstation to the switch in one of the following ways:

Ethernet connection from the management workstation to the switch RJ-45 Ethernet connector through an Ethernet switch or a hub. You can use a 10/100 Base-T straight or cross-over cable. The default active Ethernet port is located on the CPU0 CPU blade on the back of the switch.

Serial port connection from the management workstation to the switch RJ-45 serial port connector on the CPU0 blade. This requires the RS-232/RJ-45 console adapter provided with the switch and a 10/100 Base-T straight cable.

Install Enterprise Fabric Suite 2007

You can install Enterprise Fabric Suite 2007 on a Windows, Linux, Solaris, or MacOS X® workstation. To install the Enterprise Fabric Suite 2007 application, refer to the SANbox 9000 Series Enterprise Fabric Suite 2007 User Guide.

Obtain the Network Configuration

Obtain the IP address and subnet mask from your network administrator. The workstation must have the same subnet as the switch.
