Vixel Model 335 Installation & Configuration Guide

CHAPTER 2 Installation

 

 

Note: FC-AL compatible nodes must perform initialization procedures upon power-up in order to function properly. It is the responsibility of the Fibre Channel driver software on FC-AL nodes to perform the initialization or re- initialization (depending on its prior state of operation).

4.Make sure the switch and any other connected switches or hubs are powered on.

5.Power on the storage devices (such as JBODs and RAIDs), then power on the hosts. The network initializes.

6.Check all port LEDs. For more information on Port LED status, See “Port LEDs” on page 7.

7.Check the green Switch Op (Switch Operational) LED. If the Switch Op LED is lit, all zones with inserted devices are operational. If the Switch Op LED is blinking in a multiple zone configuration, one or more zones are operational while others are not. If the Switch Op LED is off, no operational zones exist or no devices are attached.

Note: Improper initialization could be the result of a defective or inoperative host bus adapter card or device. Consult the vendor’s documentation for adapter diagnos- tic procedures.

Understanding the Switch’s LEDs

You can check the system and port status through the Light-Emitting Diodes (LEDs) on the switch.

The switch utilizes two sets of LEDs to indicate switch and port status:

1.System LEDs – Six separate LEDs that indicate the status of the switch separate from the Port LEDs.

2.Port LEDs – Two LEDs per switch port that indicate status of that specific port

Power On

When powering on the switch, all LEDs turn on for two seconds and then off for two seconds except for the Power LED, which remains lit while the switch is powered.

System LEDs

There are six LEDs that indicate the status of the switch, independent of the port LEDs:

Switch
