7 Chapter Preparations This chapter describes the basic settings for Fibre Channel switches (ETERNUS SN200 series, SilkWorm series by Brocade, Brocade DCX series) and how to set the zone settings when using Fibre Channel switches to connect the server and the ETERNUS DX storage systems. The description in this chapter presumes that configuration of the target system has already been set. Therefore, instructions on setting the system configuration are not described in this manual. For details on the Fibre Channel switch, refer to the information provided with the Fibre Channel switch. If you are using SAN management software for the SAN settings, refer to the manual for the Fibre Channel switch settings included with each software. The Fibre Channel switches described here are Class laser products that should have no affect on humans but for safety reasons, please do not look directly into the beam receptors for the ports.. Environment The following Fibre Channel switches are described in this manual. Switch type Model / 2 / 4Gbit/s Fibre Channel ETERNUS SN200 models 430, 480, 485, 490, 540, 600, 630, and 660 SilkWorm 400, 4900, 5000, 48000, and 200E / 2Gbit/s Fibre Channel ETERNUS SN200 models 220, 230, and 240 SilkWorm 3200, 3250, 3800, 3850, 3900, 2000, and / 4 / 8Gbit/s Fibre Channel ETERNUS SN200 models 40, 600, 630, 660, and 540 Brocade 300, 500, 5300, 48000, DCX, and DCX-4S 7

8 Chapter Preparations.2 Tools Necessary for the Setup.2 Tools Necessary for the Setup Maintenance of the Fibre Channel switch is performed via Ethernet. The following items will be required: Computer The computer must have Windows installed, and must also have an Ethernet Interface (0BASE-T or 00BASE-T). Ethernet cable (crossover cable) 0/00BASE-T (crossover cable). The crossover cable connects the Fibre Channel switch to the computer used as a maintenance terminal. A crossover cable is provided with the ETERNUS SN200 series and Brocade DCX series. 8

9 Chapter 2 Notes Note the following issues when connecting the ETERNUS DX to a server. 2. Zoning We recommend that the Fibre Channel switch port numbers, connected Fibre Channel cards, and CA WWNs of storage system be used to set up one-to-one zoning between Fibre Channel ports. Zoning divides a Fibre Channel switch into zones according to port numbers of the Fibre Channel switch, connected Fibre Channel cards and CA WWNs of the storage system. This feature allows access from within the same zone but restricts access from other zones, and localizes the management information that the Fibre Channel switch manages. 2.2 System Topology The procedure described here is for systems where server and storage are connected via Fibre Channel switch. The connection is a "fabric connection". 2.3 Path Redundancy When the ETERNUS DX storage systems have multiple CAs, and a multipath disk control driver (path fail-over driver) is used to connect them to the server, at least two Fibre Channel switches should be used to maintain the path redundancy. Connect the two CAs that will form the multipath to different Fibre Channel switches. 2.4 ISL Trunking ISL Trunking is the function to secure the order of commands, integrating as many as eight ports between two adjoining Fibre Channel switches, and delivers traffic on wide area bandwidth. The ISL Trunking function, available in ETERNUS SN200 series, SilkWorm series, and Brocade DCX series, is not described in this manual. For the details, refer to the User Guide of the Fibre Channel switch. 9

10 Chapter 2 Notes 2.5 Mixing ETERNUS SN200 Models 2.5 Mixing ETERNUS SN200 Models The firmware level of the ETERNUS SN200 series varies as follows, depending on the model: ETERNUS SN200 model name ETERNUS SN200 models 20 and 240 ETERNUS SN200 model 320 ETERNUS SN200 models 220 and 230 ETERNUS SN200 models 20, 430, 480, 485, 450M, 490, and 540 ETERNUS SN200 models 40, 600, 630, and 660 ETERNUS SN200 model 250M Firmware level Fabric OS v3.2.0a Fabric OS v5.0.5d Fabric OS v5..b Fabric OS v5.3.0d Fabric OS v6.. XPath OS v7.4.e When SN200-SN200 cascade connection is used, the presence of models with firmware levels different from those shown above in the same fabric as the above models may cause SN200 operational instability. The zoning settings should also be updated after the cascade connection is complete. When in the same fabric as a SN200 model 600, 630, or 660, the other SN200 models must be running the following firmware versions: ETERNUS SN200 model name ETERNUS SN200 models 20 and 240 ETERNUS SN200 model 320 ETERNUS SN200 models 220 and 230 ETERNUS SN200 models 430, 480, 485, 450M, 490, and 540 ETERNUS SN200 models 600, 630, and 660 ETERNUS SN200 model 250M Firmware level Fabric OS v3.2.c Fabric OS v5.0.5f Fabric OS v5.3.b Fabric OS v6.. Fabric OS v6.. XPath OS v7.4.e SN200 models 20 and 240 "Core Switch PID format" parameter must be set to "" when other models are present in the same fabric. Use the "configure" command to change "Core Switch PID format" setting. For details, refer to the Fabric OS reference manual. 2.6 Domain ID When connecting a HP-UX server to the Fibre Channel switch, set the domain ID to a value other than "8". When the domain ID is set to "8", the device cannot be recognized correctly. 0

11 Chapter 2 Notes 2.7 Cascade Connection Restrictions 2.7 Cascade Connection Restrictions For the ETERNUS SN200 models 20 and 40, cascade connection is not available. For the ETERNUS SN200 model 20 standard configuration, only one port can be used for cascade connection. No more than two ETERNUS SN200 model 220 or model 230 Fibre Channel switches may be connected within the same Fabric. 2.8 Fibre Channel Switch Notes Before installing the Fibre Channel switch, read the User Guide and Setting Procedure Guide provided with the product. When installing two Fibre Channel cards to one server for path redundancy, connect each Fibre Channel card to different Fibre Channel switches. If they are connected to the same Fibre Channel switch, a single point of failure results in loss of redundancy. - Recommended configuration Server ETERNUS DX Fibre Channel Card Fibre Channel Switch CA CM Fibre Channel Card Fibre Channel Switch 2 CA CM - Incorrect configuration (loss of redundancy) Server ETERNUS DX Fibre Channel Card Fibre Channel Switch CA CM Fibre Channel Card CA CM Set the Fibre Channel switch zones. - LUNs may not be correctly recognized by the server if the zones are not set. Set the zone by following one of the methods below. Set the access paths using the ETERNUS SF Storage Cruiser "Access Path Management" function. Set the Fibre Channel switch to use Hard zoning (Port zoning). Set the Fibre Channel switch to use Soft zoning (WWN zoning). - When setting zones for the Fibre Channel switch, two ports or WWNs must be included in one zone.

12 Chapter 2 Notes 2.8 Fibre Channel Switch Notes - If a speed is not specified for a port (check the "Notes" chapter in the "FUJITSU Storage ETERNUS DX Configuration Guide -Server Connection-" for each OS), set the [LinkSpeed] of the Fibre Channel switch to [Autoselect]. When setting the access path using the ETERNUS SF Storage Cruiser, Host Response No. will be set to default values. Set the Host Response No. after setting the access path using the ETERNUS SF Storage Cruiser. For details on the settings, refer to the relevant "FUJITSU Storage ETERNUS DX Configuration Guide - Server Connection- Disk Storage System Settings" according to the interface that is used. - The following example shows a configuration with a server and ETERNUS SN200 series connection. Port zoning has been set.

13 Chapter 3 System Design This chapter describes the settings necessary before connecting each device. 3. Checking the System Configuration If you want to perform system configuration using Fibre Channel switches, it is necessary to design the system in detail beforehand. The procedure described here presumes that system design has already been completed. System configuration diagram (one that shows all of the hard wiring) List of configured products The system configuration diagram below is an example showing how to configure various settings.

PRIMERGY# g Server# PRIMERGY#2 g Server#2 ETERNUS DX g RAID# Fibre Channel switch g SN200_0 Fibre Channel switch 2 g SN200_02 Names of Fibre Channel switches are also used for the setting names for Fibre Channel switches. Please pay attention to the following points when assigning names to Fibre Channel switches. The setting names for Fibre Channel switches should be composed of 8 characters or less. Use a letter (upper or lower case) for the first character. Use alphanumeric characters or an underscore (_) from the 2nd character on. 2 Assign IP addresses to the Fibre Channel switches. If the Fibre Channel switches are connected to a global LAN, consult with the network administrator to assign each switch an individual IP address (assign a local IP address to each switch for maintenance purposes, even if the switches are not connected to a network). 3 Decide "zones" for the Fibre Channel switches. The Fibre Channel switch provides a function called "zoning". This divides a Fibre Channel switch into zones between pairs of ports. This feature allows access from within one zone but restricts access from other zones. In this example, the zones are decided as follows: Fibre Channel switch (SN200_0) Between Port 0 and Port : "ZONE0" Between Port 2 and Port : "ZONE" Fibre Channel switch 2 (SN200_02) Between Port 0 and Port : "ZONE2" Between Port 2 and Port : "ZONE3" 4 Assign numbers to the servers and ETERNUS DX storage systems' adapters as convenient.

16 Chapter 3 System Design 3.2 Preparing a System Design Sheet 3.2 Preparing a System Design Sheet In order to perform system configuration, it is necessary to arrange system information and create a system design sheet that summarizes system information. Enter the settings into the following system design sheet to create a table that shows all of the settings. The following section describes how to enter information into a system design sheet. For information about setting up the ETERNUS DX storage systems, refer to "ETERNUS Web GUI User's Guide" or "ETERNUSmgr User Guide". For information about setting or checking the server, refer to "FUJITSU Storage ETERNUS DX Configuration Guide -Server Connection-" for each OS. Fibre Channel switch - Basic settings for each Fibre Channel switch (Refer to "3.3 Basic Settings for the Fibre Channel Switches" (page 7)) Create a Fibre Channel switch settings table - Decide the zone configuration for each Fibre Channel switch (Refer to "3.4 Configuring the Fibre Channel Switch Zones" (page 23)) Create a zoning settings table (wiring diagram) Create a zoning settings table ETERNUS DX storage systems (Refer to "3.5 Setting the ETERNUS DX storage systems in Advance" (page 29)) - Check the ETERNUS DX storage systems' WWNs Create a WWN instance management table for storage system. - Set the host interface - Check the name server WWNs Create a WWN instance management table for the name server Server (Refer to "3.6 Preliminary Server Settings" (page 32)) - Check path route Create a path route table - Check the server WWNs and other server information Create a WWN instance management table for the server 6

17 Chapter 3 System Design 3.3 Basic Settings for the Fibre Channel Switches 3.3 Basic Settings for the Fibre Channel Switches Various Fibre Channel switch settings and related management information now need to be decided and entered into the Fibre Channel switch settings table. The following procedures show how to do this, with details of the required settings for each section being provided in the referenced links. Assign switch names Assign a switch name to the Fibre Channel switch, and enter the assigned name into the Fibre Channel switch settings table. (Refer to "3.3. Assigning the Switch Names" (page 8)) 2 Assign switch domain IDs Assign a switch domain ID to the Fibre Channel switch, and enter the switch domain ID into the Fibre Channel switch settings table. (Refer to "3.3.2 Assigning the Switch Domain IDs" (page 8)) 3 Decide network setup Enter the Fibre Channel switch network information into the Fibre Channel switch settings table. (Refer to "3.3.3 Deciding the Network Settings" (page 9)) 4 Decide SFP types (Refer to "3.3.4 Deciding the SFP Type" (page 20)) 5 Cable tag Enter the cable tag contents into the Fibre Channel switch settings table. (Refer to "3.3.5 Specifying Cable Tags" (page 2)) Fibre Channel switch settings table (example) Switch name Switch domain IP address Gateway address Subnet mask Fibre Channel switch WWN Value Factory default Switch Fibre Channel switch port number Port type (SFP) Cable tag

18 Chapter 3 System Design 3.3 Basic Settings for the Fibre Channel Switches Port numbers may differ, depending on the Fibre Channel switch model Assigning the Switch Names To manage Fibre Channel switches, assign a different name to each switch. Pay attention to the following restrictions when assigning names to switches. The setting names for Fibre Channel switches should be composed of 8 characters or less. Use a letter (upper or lower case) for the first character. Use alphanumeric characters or an underscore (_) from the 2nd character on. Example: If the switch name is assigned as "SN200_0", record it as follows: Switch name Switch domain IP address Gateway address Subnet mask Fibre Channel switch WWN Value SN200_0 Factory default Switch Fibre Channel switch port number 0 2 Port type (SFP) Cable tag Assigning the Switch Domain IDs Switch domain IDs should be assigned to each Fibre Channel switch. You can assign any integer from to 239. However, when connecting the Fibre Channel switches (cascade connection), it is necessary to assign each switch a different switch domain ID. When connecting Fibre Channel switches in a cascade configuration, assign a different switch domain ID for each Fibre Channel switch. We also recommend that you assign each switch an individual switch domain ID for the future, even if the switches are not currently connected by a cascade cable. If Fibre Channel switches with identical switch domain IDs are connected by a cascade cable, the switch domain ID will automatically be changed to an unrecognized ID, or the synchronized setting information of the switches cannot be collected. In the worst situation, the data may be lost. When connecting a HP-UX server to the Fibre Channel switch, set the domain ID to a value other than "8". A Fibre Channel switch domain ID is required in order to set the zoning. 8

19 Chapter 3 System Design 3.3 Basic Settings for the Fibre Channel Switches Example: If the switch domain ID is assigned as "", record it as follows: Switch name Switch domain IP address Gateway address Subnet mask Fibre Channel switch WWN Value SN200_0 Factory default Switch Fibre Channel switch port number 0 2 Port type (SFP) Cable tag Deciding the Network Settings Use the function described below for Fibre Channel switch basic settings and zone settings. Management, settings, and maintenance with telnet connection Since the above functions use an Ethernet connection, the correct network parameters must be set for each Fibre Channel switch in the system. Network information consists of the following values: IP address of Fibre Channel switch Gateway address Subnet mask Example: Switch name Switch domain IP address Gateway address Subnet mask Fibre Channel switch WWN Value SN200_ Factory default Switch Fibre Channel switch port number 0 2 Port type (SFP) Cable tag 9

20 Chapter 3 System Design 3.3 Basic Settings for the Fibre Channel Switches Deciding the SFP Type Decide the SFP module type that will be attached to the port of a Fibre Channel switch. Different SFP modules are shown below. Select the module depending on the connection method of the port. (Short Wave Length) type (SFP/SFP+) Used as a part for connecting the server, ETERNUS DX storage systems, and Fibre Channel switches, or to connect two or more Fibre Channel switches together. connection distances depend on the transfer rate: - For 8Gbit/s transfer rate: maximum of 50 meters (SFP+) - For 4Gbit/s transfer rate: maximum of 50 meters (SFP/SFP+) - For 2Gbit/s transfer rate: maximum of 300 meters (SFP/SFP+) - For Gbit/s transfer rate: maximum of 500 meters (SFP) LWL (Long Wave Length) type LWL type is for connecting two or more Fibre Channel switches using cascade connections, when the Fibre Channel switches are more than 300 meters apart. Make sure to use the same type of SFP module as the connection port for each Fibre Channel switch when connecting two or more Fibre Channel switches with cascade connections. Example: Connect Fibre Channel cables (about 0m length) from each of switch port 0 and port to the devices. Use type for the SFP module of port 0 and port, because the distance between the ports and the devices is short. Do not connect other ports using SFP.

21 Chapter 3 System Design 3.3 Basic Settings for the Fibre Channel Switches Specifying Cable Tags Multiple Fibre Channel cables are used when connecting Fibre Channel switches with the ETERNUS DX storage systems or the server, or when connecting two or more Fibre Channel switches. This makes it difficult to understand how the cables are connected. To avoid confusion during system maintenance, we recommend that both ends of each cable be labeled with a tag in order to easily recognize which cable is for which device/port. These tag names can be chosen freely, but it is recommended to choose tag names that are easily recognized, for each connection port/device (storage system, server or Fibre Channel switch) to which a Fibre Channel cable is connected. Example: Switch port number "0" is connected by a cable to Server (SLOT 0). Moreover, switch port number "" shows that it is a cable connected to ETERNUS DX storage systems' CM0CA00.

22 Chapter 3 System Design 3.3 Basic Settings for the Fibre Channel Switches Fibre Channel Switch Settings Table (Example) The following shows the results of setting the Fibre Channel switch settings table, using the system configuration diagram that shows Fibre Channel switches SN200_0 and SN200_02, under "3. Checking the System Configuration" (page 3). Entered information is shown in shaded areas. You do not need to enter the information for WWN, because that information must be checked during the setup of the Fibre Channel switch.

23 Chapter 3 System Design 3.4 Configuring the Fibre Channel Switch Zones 3.4 Configuring the Fibre Channel Switch Zones The Fibre Channel switch provides a function called "zoning". This divides a Fibre Channel switch into zones between pairs of ports. This feature allows access from within one zone but restricts access from other zones. Zoning is used for the following purposes: Synthesizing heterogeneous environments Protecting fabric areas Stabilizing system performance This feature allows device access from within the same zone, but restricts device access from other zones that have different attributes. The following describes the procedure for entering zone settings into the Fibre Channel zoning settings table Zoning Types There are two types of zoning: port zoning and WWN zoning. This section describes how to set up port zoning. Port zoning Port zoning specifies the port information (zone member) of the Fibre Channel switch for a registered members of a Fibre Channel switch zone group. Port information (for a zone member) includes information regarding the switch domain ID and the switch port number. For example, if the switch domain ID is "" and the port number is "2", port information displays (, 2) as the zone member. Zones are recognized by port locations, so the connecting device information is not required. However, you need to re-enter the zone information whenever you change the Fibre Channel switch domain ID or the location of the device connection port Deciding the Device Connection Ports You need to decide in advance which ports of the Fibre Channel switch are to be connected to the server or the storage system. Referring to the system configuration diagram, enter the zone settings used between the Fibre Channel switch and the storage system/servers and the chosen wiring layout in the zoning settings table (wiring diagram). The following describes the procedure for entering information into the wiring diagram. Refer to the system configuration diagram, and enter products (the server, switch, storage system) that are necessary to the configuration, into the zoning settings table (wiring diagram). Also, enter the basic setting information such as device names and IP addresses for the entered devices. 23

24 Chapter 3 System Design 3.4 Configuring the Fibre Channel Switch Zones 2 Follow the instructions described in "System Configuration" to connect the cables between Fibre Channel switch ports and devices or adapters. 3 Select one of the Fibre Channel ports of the ETERNUS DX storage systems, and check which server-side Fibre Channel cards and paths are connected to that Fibre Channel port. 4 The Fibre Channel switch ports corresponding to the path route checked in Step 3 are grouped as one zone. Enter the zone number into the appropriate cell indicating the server port/storage system port connection. 5 Repeat Step 3 and Step 4 for all of the Fibre Channel ports that are connected to a Fibre Channel switch. 6 Make sure that all of the zone numbers have been entered. The following shows the results of creating a zoning settings table (wiring diagram) using the system configuration diagram example given in "3. Checking the System Configuration" (page 3).

25 Chapter 3 System Design 3.4 Configuring the Fibre Channel Switch Zones Creating a Zoning Settings Table Create a zoning settings table as follows: Alias settings Alias name Alias member (port number) Zone settings Zone number Zone name Zone member (enter alias name) Zone configuration settings Configuration name Configuration member The following procedure describes how to create a zoning settings table Deciding the Zoning Definitions, Information : Alias When performing zone settings for a Fibre Channel switch, it is necessary to set the information regarding which ports will be included in a zone. We recommend that you assign each port a simple name for convenience. Define an alias to set a symbolic name for each fabric port About Aliases An alias is a symbolic name freely assigned to an interface port of the Fibre Channel switch. Assigning aliases to ports helps you understand the connection relations between devices and ports, and easily make settings for zones and members. For example, instead of assigning aliases such as "Switch #xx" or "Port yy", that are taken directly from the switch port number, use aliases such as "SERVER_SLOT0" to indicate the relation between the connected device and the port Alias Settings A Fibre Channel switch port that configures an alias is called an "alias member". When configuring, the port numbers are shown as below in order to display each port as an alias member. Alias member (selected port number) Alias member (selected port number) = (Switch domain ID, switch/port number) 25

26 Chapter 3 System Design 3.4 Configuring the Fibre Channel Switch Zones Example: Fibre Channel switch domain ID = 3 Switch/port number = 5 In the above example, the port number is displayed as (3, 5). 2 Enter the alias members (port number) of each alias into the zoning settings table (alias settings) (only the numbers of switch ports that are being used). The following example is a zoning settings table into which alias members (port numbers) have been entered. Alias name Alias member (port number), 0, 2 2, 0 2, 2, 2, 3 Enter the alias name corresponding to each alias member (port number). You can use any words for an alias name, however, pay attention to the following restrictions when assigning alias names. Use alias names that help you understand and locate the devices that are connected to the ports (for example, use a name such as "SERV_SLOT0" if it is connected to Server#_slot0). Distinctions are made between upper case and lower case letters. Spaces in a name are disregarded. Use a letter (upper or lower case) for the first character. Use alphanumeric characters or an underscore (_) from the 2nd character on. The following example shows a zoning settings table into which the alias settings have been entered. Alias name SERV_SLOT0 SERV2_SLOT0 SERV_SLOT SERV2_SLOT Alias member (port number), 0, 2 2, 0 2, 2 CM0CA00 CMCA00, 2, 26

27 Chapter 3 System Design 3.4 Configuring the Fibre Channel Switch Zones Deciding the Zoning Definitions, Information 2: Zone A zone is defined by grouping two or more aliases. This feature allows device access from within the same zone, but restricts device access from other zones that have different attributes. Follow the procedure described below to enter zone settings into the zoning settings table. Enter the list of zone members (alias names) for each zone. The following example shows a zoning settings table into which the alias settings have been entered. Zone number Zone name Zone member (Enter alias name) SERV_SLOT0; CM0CA00 SERV2_SLOT0; CM0CA00 SERV_SLOT; CMCA00 SERV2_SLOT; CMCA00 2 Assign a zone name that corresponds to the grouping of zone members (alias names). You can use any words for an alias name, however, pay attention to the following restrictions when assigning alias names. Distinctions are made between upper case and lower case letters. Spaces in a name are disregarded. Use a letter (upper or lower case) for the first character. Use alphanumeric characters or an underscore (_) from the 2nd character on. The following example shows a zone settings table into which the alias settings have been entered. Zone number 2 3 Zone name ZONE0 ZONE ZONE2 ZONE3 Zone member (Enter alias name) SERV_SLOT0; CM0CA00 SERV2_SLOT0; CM0CA00 SERV_SLOT; CMCA00 SERV2_SLOT; CMCA00 27

28 Chapter 3 System Design 3.4 Configuring the Fibre Channel Switch Zones Deciding the Zoning Definitions, Information 3: Zone Configuration To enable several previously set zones in a Fibre Channel switch, divide the previously set zones into groups. Enabling the configuration of grouped zones also enables the zone settings of the Fibre Channel switch. Follow the procedure described below to enter zone settings into the zoning settings table. Decide and enter the zone names that configure the zone. The following example shows a zone settings table after the zone settings have been entered.

31 Chapter 3 System Design 3.5 Setting the ETERNUS DX storage systems in Advance 3 Cable tags Multiple Fibre Channel cables are used when connecting Fibre Channel switches with the ETERNUS DX storage systems or the server, or when connecting two or more Fibre Channel switches. This makes it difficult to understand how the cables are connected. To avoid confusion during system maintenance, we recommend that both ends of each cable be labeled with a tag in order to easily recognize which cable is for which device/port. You can use any words for the tags, however, make sure that the words are easy to understand, and are consistent with the information in the previously created Fibre Channel switch settings table. Example: The following shows the cable tags between the Fibre Channel switches and the ETERNUS DX storage systems, as used in the previously created Fibre Channel switch settings table. SN200_0 Fibre Channel switch settings table Fibre Channel switch port number Port type (SFP) none Cable tag SN200 port0 to SERV_SLOT0 SN200 port to DX400_CM0CA00 SN200 port2 to SERV2_SLOT SN200 port7 to SN200_2_port7 SN200_02 Fibre Channel switch settings table Fibre Channel switch port number 0 Port type (SFP) Cable tag SN200_2_port0 to SERV_SLOT 2 3 none SN200_2_port to DX400_CMCA00 SN200_2_port2 to SERV2_SLOT SN200_2_port7 to SN200 port7 The shaded areas show the tag names of the cables connecting the Fibre Channel switch to the ETER- NUS DX storage systems. Refer to these tables and enter a name for the cable connecting CM0CA00 to Port of SN200_, such as "DX400_CM0CA00 to SN200 port", into the WWN instance management table for storage system. Similarly, enter a name for the cable connecting CMCA00 to Port of SN200_2, such as "DX400_CMCA00 to SN200_2_port" into the WWN instance management table for storage system. Name RAID# IP address CA name WWN Alias name T-ID Cable tag CM0CA00 CM0CA0 CMCA00 CMCA0 DX400_CM0CA00 to SN200 port none DX400_CMCA00 to SN200_2_port 3

32 Chapter 3 System Design 3.6 Preliminary Server Settings 4 Preparations needed for WWN instance management table for storage system are complete now. The remaining information is entered during setup Host Interface Management (Set CA Port) To connect ETERNUS DX storage systems to a Fibre Channel switch, it is necessary to set the Fibre Channel interface settings of the CA in the ETERNUS DX storage systems to a topology that supports fabric connection. It is necessary to use ETERNUS Web GUI or ETERNUSmgr to change to a topology that supports fabric connection. 3.6 Preliminary Server Settings The following procedure is the preliminary server settings. Refer to chapters for each OS for details on the settings. This section describes the method used to create a table of the path routes from the server to the ETERNUS DX. Creating a path route table Note relevant information about the paths connecting the server and the storage system on the path route table. 2 Creating a WWN instance management table for the server Create the frame for the WWN instance management table for the server. 32

33 Chapter 3 System Design 3.6 Preliminary Server Settings 3.6. Creating a Path Route Table Create a path route table (management sheet) to plan how to connect the server and ETERNUS DX storage systems' connection paths. Server side Storage system side By creating a path route table, you can identify which Fibre Channel card in which slot on which server through which CA is connected to which ETERNUS DX. If the connection configuration between the server and the ETERNUS DX is multi-path, depending on the relationship between the multipath driver and the storage system, the configuration can be Primary path/ Secondary path. When the load balance function is installed, more than one path can be configured. You must be careful to determine if the configuration is multi-path or not when creating the path route table. Primary Path and Secondary Path For the Assigned-CM type storage systems, the path that passes through the controller (CM) assigned to the RAID group that is being accessed is called the Primary Path. Conversely, the Secondary Path is the path that is being kept as a standby for the Primary Path. 33

34 Chapter 3 System Design 3.6 Preliminary Server Settings The procedure to create a path route table is shown below. Enter the number for the Fibre Channel card that has been mounted on the server in the "Server side" column. Then, under that, put a symbol name (the server/slot name) that indicates which Fibre Channel card is mounted to which server, in which slot. Enter the names in the "Server side" column for multipath configurations. Using the system configuration diagram in "3. Checking the System Configuration" (page 3) as an example, enter the number (), (2), etc. assigned to each slot in the "Server side" column. Also, enter a name that can be understood easily under each number. Server side Storage system side () SERV_SLOT0 (2) SERV_SLOT (3) SERV2_SLOT0 (4) SERV2_SLOT 34

35 Chapter 3 System Design 3.6 Preliminary Server Settings 2 Enter the number of the ETERNUS DX storage systems' channel adapter in the "Storage system side" column. Enter a meaningful name under the number. Using the system configuration diagram given in "3. Checking the System Configuration" (page 3) as an example, server slots () and (3) are attached to storage system CA (), while server slots (2) and (4) are attached to storage system CA (2). Enter this information in the table as follows. Server side Storage system side () SERV_SLOT0 () CM0CA00 (2) SERV_SLOT (2) CMCA00 (3) SERV2_SLOT0 () CM0CA00 (4) SERV2_SLOT (2) CMCA00 In some cases, the servers and the storage systems are not necessarily in one-to-one relationships Creating a WWN Instance Management Table for the Server Fill out the WWN instance management table for the server as a way to keep track and record relevant information about the Fibre Channel cards, if there are multiple Fibre Channel cards mounted in the server. Only input the host name and IP address, items that have already been decided. Parameters that can only be checked when they are set like physical slots, Fibre Channel card WWN, instance names and physical addresses are not entered here. Also, only enter the instance name if you are using the Fibre Channel card such as the GP7B8FCU/ GP7B8FCX, the PW008FC2U/PW008FC2X, the PW008FC3U, the SE0X7FF, the SE0X7F2F, the SE0X7FX, the SE0X7F2X, or the LPxxxx series in a Solaris OS. You do not need to enter the instance name in other environments. Name IP address Physical slot name Fibre Channel card WWN Instance name Physical address Cable tag 35

36 Chapter 3 System Design 3.6 Preliminary Server Settings Name, IP address Enter the name assigned to the ETERNUS DX storage systems for convenience, and the LAN interface IP address assigned to the ETERNUS DX storage systems, into the table. Example: Names were assigned conveniently to each server in "3. Checking the System Configuration" (page 3). Enter those names and the IP address assigned to each server in "WWN instance management table for the server". Create a WWN instance management table for each server. The names are assigned, "Server#" to PRIMERGY#, "Server#2" to "PRIMERGY#2". Enter those names into the name column of each server's WWN instance management table. Also, the IP address of the server assigned the name "Server#" is " ". Enter this in the IP address column in the WWN instance management table for Server#. Do the same for Server#2, which has been assigned IP address " ". Example WWN instance management table for Server# Name Server# IP address Physical slot name Fibre Channel card WWN Instance name Physical address Cable tag Example WWN instance management table for Server#2 Name Server#2 IP address Physical slot name Fibre Channel card WWN Instance name Physical address Cable tag 2 Physical slot name Decide which PCI slot on the server to use to mount the Fibre Channel card, and then enter the name in the table. Example: Since the slots to which the Fibre Channel cards of each server can be installed are shown in the system configuration diagram, enter their slot names in the table. Example WWN instance management table for Server# Name Server# IP address Physical slot name Fibre Channel card WWN Instance name Physical address Cable tag Slot 0 Slot 36

37 Chapter 3 System Design 3.6 Preliminary Server Settings Example WWN instance management table for Server#2 Name Server#2 IP address Physical slot name Fibre Channel card WWN Instance name Physical address Cable tag Slot 0 Slot 3 Cable tag Multiple Fibre Channel cables are used when connecting Fibre Channel switches with the ETERNUS DX storage systems or the server, or when connecting two or more Fibre Channel switches. This makes it difficult to understand how the cables are connected. To avoid confusion during system maintenance, we recommend that both ends of each cable be labeled with a tag in order to easily recognize which cable is for which device/port. At this point, decide the tag name for the Fibre Channel cable that is connected to the server. You can use any words for the tags, however, make sure that the words are easy to understand, and are consistent with the information in the previously created Fibre Channel switch settings table. Example: The cable tags for the cables between each server slot and Fibre Channel switch as shown in previously created Fibre Channel switch settings table ("3.3.6 Fibre Channel Switch Settings Table (Example)" (page 22)) are shown below. SN200_0 Fibre Channel switch settings table Fibre Channel switch port number Port type (SFP) none Cable tag SN200 port0 to SERV_SLOT0 SN200 port to DX400_CM0CA00 SN200 port2 to SERV2_SLOT SN200 port7 to SN200_2_port7 SN200_02 Fibre Channel switch settings table Fibre Channel switch port number 0 Port type (SFP) Cable tag SN200_2_port0 to SERV_SLOT 2 3 none SN200_2_port to DX400_CMCA00 SN200_2_port2 to SERV2_SLOT SN200_2_port7 to SN200 port7 The shaded parts are the cable tag names from the Fibre Channel switch. For example, the tag for the cable connected from Server# to the port SN200_ has been given an easy to understand tag name, "SERV_SLOT0 to SN200 port0". Name the other cables in the same way, and enter them in the WWN instance management table for the server. 37

38 Chapter 3 System Design 3.6 Preliminary Server Settings Example WWN instance management table for Server# Name Server# IP address Physical slot name Fibre Channel card WWN Instance name Physical address Cable tag Slot 0 SERV_SLOT0 to SN200 port0 Slot SERV_SLOT to SN200_2_port0 Example WWN instance management table for Server#2 Name Server#2 IP address Physical slot name Fibre Channel card WWN Instance name Physical address Cable tag Slot 0 SERV2_SLOT0 to SN200 port2 Slot SERV2_SLOT to SN200_2_port2 4 About other items Some parameters, like the Fibre Channel card WWNs, instance names and physical addresses, can only be checked when actually making these settings. Refer to "Chapter 4 Fabric Setup" (page 39) for details. Also note that a server-side instance name setting is only needed if the server is using Solaris OS in combination with certain Fibre Channel cards (GP7B8FCU/GP7B8FCX, PW008FC2U/PW008FC2X, PW008FC3U, SE0X7FF, SE0X7F2F, SE0X7FX, SE0X7F2X, or LPxxxx series). This setting is not otherwise needed. This completes the preliminary operations for Fibre Channel switch, server and ETERNUS DX storage systems' setup. 38

42 Chapter 4 Fabric Setup 4.2 Setting Up the Fibre Channel Switches 4.2 Setting Up the Fibre Channel Switches 4.2. Setup Outline The outline for the setup of the Fibre Channel switch is as follows. This setup requires a computer that has an Ethernet interface and a 0BASE-T or 00BASE-T crossover cable. To be able to do maintenance, connect the Ethernet cable used for maintenance to the Fibre Channel switch, then turn on the Fibre Channel switch. 2 Set the IP address of the maintenance computer. 3 Set the IP address of the Fibre Channel switch (network information). 4 Enter the Fibre Channel switch WWN (World Wide Name) into the Fibre Channel switch settings table. 5 Set the "Switch name" that was entered into the "Fibre Channel switch settings table" for each Fibre Channel switch. 6 Set the "Switch domain ID" that was entered in the "Fibre Channel switch settings table" for each Fibre Channel switch. 7 Connect the Fibre Channel cable in a cascade configuration if you are making a cascade connection between Fibre Channel switches Setup Procedure Connect the maintenance Ethernet cable in order to perform settings, then turn on the Fibre Channel switch. () Connect an Ethernet cable. Maintenance operations require the use of a computer, with an Ethernet interface. Connect the computer to the RJ-45 connector (Ethernet connector) on the front panel of the switch using an Ethernet 0/00BASE-T crossover cable. The factory set default address is for the local address only; it cannot be used to connect to the network. If it is connected to the network, it may cause major disruptions. When connecting to the network, be sure to consult with the network administrator and set the address that the network administrator indicates. 42

43 Chapter 4 Fabric Setup 4.2 Setting Up the Fibre Channel Switches (2) Turn on the Fibre Channel switch. The Fibre Channel switch runs POST automatically after the power is turned on. During phase, the Fibre Channel port LED blinks continuously. 2 Set the IP address of the maintenance computer. To perform Ethernet connections with a Fibre Channel switch and cross cable, change the IP address on the maintenance computer to correspond with the IP address of the Fibre Channel switch (default). (To change, follow the instructions in the computer). () Start Windows and open the control panel. Click [Settings]-[Control Panel] from [Start] button. (2) Click [Network] in the [Control Panel]. (3) Select [Network Settings], then select "TCP/IP->*********" in [Current Network Components], and click [Properties]. (The (*********) part is the "TCP/IP protocol LAN controller" for the computer that you are using.) (4) Select [IP Address] in [TCP/IP Properties], check [Specify IP Address], and then enter the IP address and the net mask that are assigned to the terminal used for maintenance. Do not assign an IP address that has already been assigned to some other device, like a Fibre Channel switch. (5) Click the [OK] button. The "Restart Windows?" message is displayed; click the [Yes] button. The IP address for the maintenance computer has been set when Windows has restarted. Example: For the ETERNUS SN200 series, as the default IP address for the Fibre Channel switch is " ", the maintenance computer should be assigned an IP address such as " ". 3 Set the IP address for the Fibre Channel switch (Network Settings). For the ETERNUS SN200 series, the factory set default IP address is as follows; IP address: Netmask: Start the MS-DOS prompt for the maintenance computer, and use the "ping" command to check if the Fibre Channel switch and the maintenance computer are connected. Example: When using ETERNUS SN200 () Start MS-DOS prompt. (2) Execute the following command if the Fibre Channel switch IP address is " ". ping

To set the switch name, log in with telnet to the Fibre Channel switch, and then set each of the Fibre Channel "Switch name" that was entered in the "Fibre Channel switch settings table". Use the "switchname" command to do the settings. 47

48 Chapter 4 Fabric Setup 4.2 Setting Up the Fibre Channel Switches Command syntax SwitchName "()" () Set the switch name that was entered in the Fibre Channel switch settings table. The following shows an example of changing the switch name. Switch name Switch domain IP address Gateway address Subnet mask Fibre Channel switch WWN Value SN200_ Factory default (SN200) Switch f.f8 The following shows an example of executing the "switchname" command. Switch :admin> Switch :admin> switchname "SN200_0" -----() Updating flash... SN200_0:admin> switchname -----(2) SN200_0 SN200_0:admin> () Change the switch name to "SN200_0" (2) Check that the setting has changed 7 Set switch domain ID. To set the switch domain ID, log in to the Fibre Channel switch with telnet, and then set the "Switch domain ID" that was entered in the "Fibre Channel switch settings table" for each Fibre Channel switch. The setting uses the "configure" command. However, to execute the "configure" command, the Fibre Channel switch needs to be disabled, so just before you start, execute the "switchdisable" command. Also, after changing the settings with the "configure" command, you need to execute the "switchenable" command. 48

49 Chapter 4 Fabric Setup 4.2 Setting Up the Fibre Channel Switches When connecting Fibre Channel switches in a cascade configuration, assign a different switch domain ID for each Fibre Channel switch. We also recommend that you assign each switch an individual switch ID for the future, even if the switches are not currently connected by a cascade cable. If Fibre Channel switches with identical switch domain IDs are connected in a cascade configuration, the switch domain ID will automatically be changed to an unrecognized ID, or the synchronized setting information of the switches cannot be collected. In the worst situation, the data may be lost. A "Switch domain ID" setting modification example is shown below (the shaded cell). Switch name Switch domain IP address Gateway address Subnet mask Fibre Channel switch WWN Value SN200_ Factory default (SN200) Switch f.f8 The actual command flow is shown for changing the switch domain ID from "0" to "".

50 Chapter 4 Fabric Setup 4.2 Setting Up the Fibre Channel Switches 9 Cascade connect the Fibre Channel switches (if cascade connection is to be used). When connecting Fibre Channel switches in a cascade configuration, connect the cables before doing the zone settings. If the cascade connections have been made, by setting the zoning for one Fibre Channel switch, the same settings will be automatically propagated to the other Fibre Channel switches. Connect the Fibre Channel switches in a cascade configuration. If you have set different zones for the multiple Fibre Channel switches before connecting them in a cascade configuration, the setting information will not be propagated and synchronicity will not be achieved, even if you connect the cascade cable after that. 0 Set the Fibre Channel switch port speed. For some Host Bus Adapter (HBA) to Fibre Channel switch connections, the link speed is not operator settable. When connecting such an HBA to a Fibre Channel switch, try setting the connected Fibre Channel switch port to the expected link speed. Use the "portcfgspeed" command to set the connected Fibre Channel switch port. The new speed setting is enabled after the affected port link has been shutdown and restarted. Command syntax portcfgspeed [slotnumber/]portnumber speed_level slotnumber Specifies the slot number of the port being set. Required for switches such as SilkWorm 2000, and which have director-type slots. portnumber Specifies which port is to be set. speed_level Specifies the speed level of the port. 0: Automatic mode. Speed is set automatically, usually to the maximum available speed. May result in an undesired speed being set in some cases. : Gbit/s mode. Port speed is fixed at Gbit/s. 2: 2Gbit/s mode. Port speed is fixed at 2Gbit/s. 4: 4Gbit/s mode. Port speed is fixed at 4Gbit/s. 8: 8Gbit/s mode. Port speed is fixed at 8Gbit/s. Example: The HBA that can be connected to port0 of ETERNUS SN200 model 430 with the speed of up to 4Gbit/s but that has only auto negotiation function as a FC link speed setting. Because the expected value is the link speed of the Fibre Channel switch port and HBA is connected with the speed of up to 4Gbit/s, perform the following setting. portcfgspeed

51 Chapter 4 Fabric Setup 4.3 Setting Up the Fibre Channel Switch Zoning Functions The current port speed settings can be checked by executing the "portcfgshow" command. Executing this command displays the status of each port, with the current port speed setting shown in the "Speed" line as follows: AN: Automatic mode. Port speed is set automatically. : Gbit/s mode. Port speed is fixed at Gbit/s. 2 : 2Gbit/s mode. Port speed is fixed at 2Gbit/s. 4 : 4Gbit/s mode. Port speed is fixed at 4Gbit/s. 8 : 8Gbit/s mode. Port speed is fixed at 8Gbit/s. For example, a fixed Port#3 speed of 4Gbit/s, with all the other port speeds set to Automatic, will result in the following output: switch:admin> portcfgshow Ports of Slot Speed AN AN AN 4G AN AN AN AN AN AN AN AN AN AN AN AN Trunk Port ON ON ON ON ON ON ON ON ON ON ON ON ON ON ON ON Long Distance VC Link Init Locked L_Port Disabled E_Port ISL R_RDY Mode RSCN Suppressed Persistent Disable Setting Up the Fibre Channel Switch Zoning Functions Refer to the zoning settings table, WWN instance management table for the server, and WWN instance management table for storage system that you made in the preliminary setup and perform the zone settings. If the Fibre Channel switches are connected in a cascade configuration and you set the zoning for one Fibre Channel switch, the setting information is automatically propagated to the other Fibre Channel switches. So, it is not necessary to duplicate the zone settings for the other Fibre Channel switches. The following shows the complete flow when doing zone settings connected to telnet. Alias settings Set symbol names that are intuitive and easy to understand for each port of each Fibre Channel switch. 2 Zone settings Create the zone using zone members (alias names) set in Step. 3 Set the zone configuration Set one configuration for some zones that were created in Step 2. 4 Enable the zone configuration Enable the configuration created in Step 3. 5

52 Chapter 4 Fabric Setup 4.3 Setting Up the Fibre Channel Switch Zoning Functions We recommend connecting the Fibre Channel switch cables with cascade connection before setting the zoning. If you have set different zones for the multiple Fibre Channel switches before connecting them in a cascade configuration, the setting information will not be propagated and synchronicity will not be achieved, even if you connect the cascade cable after that. A setting example based on the zoning settings table created in "3.4.9 Zoning Settings Table" (page 28) is shown. Alias settings Alias name (zone member) SERV_SLOT0 SERV2_SLOT0 SERV_SLOT SERV2_SLOT Alias member (port number), 0, 2 2, 0 2, 2 CM0CA00 CMCA00 Zone settings Zone number Zone name ZONE0 ZONE ZONE2 ZONE3, 2, Zone member (Enter alias name) SERV_SLOT0; CM0CA00 SERV2_SLOT0; CM0CA00 SERV_SLOT; CMCA00 SERV2_SLOT; CMCA00 Zone configuration settings Configuration name CONFIG Configuration member ZONE0; ZONE; ZONE2; ZONE Setting the Alias Refer to the zoning settings table (alias settings) that you made in the preliminary setup to set an alias for each of the Fibre Channel switches. Log in to the Fibre Channel switch with telnet to do the alias settings, and register the alias members with the "alias name" that was entered in the "zoning settings table". Use the "alicreate" command for the settings. Creating, editing and checking aliases are done with the following commands. alicreate Creates zone aliases. - Command syntax alicreate "()","(2)" () Specify the alias name. (2) Specify the alias member (Alias member = Switch domain ID, Switch port number). 52

53 Chapter 4 Fabric Setup 4.3 Setting Up the Fibre Channel Switch Zoning Functions alishow Shows the zone alias definitions, and checks the setting information. aliremove Removes an alias member from the specified zone alias. alidelete Deletes the specified zone aliases.

55 Chapter 4 Fabric Setup 4.3 Setting Up the Fibre Channel Switch Zoning Functions Setting the Zone Configuration Refer to the zoning settings table (zone configuration settings) that you made in the preliminary setup and set up a zone configuration for each of the Fibre Channel switches. Register the "configuration member (zone name)" to the "configuration name" that was noted in the "zoning settings table" (zone configuration settings table) to set the zones configuration. Use the "cfgcreate" command to perform those settings. Creating, editing, and checking zone configuration are done with the following commands. cfgcreate Creates zone configurations. - Command syntax cfgcreate "()","(2)" () Specify the configuration name. (2) Specify "configuration member ; configuration member 2". cfgshow Shows the zone configuration definition, and checks the setting information. cfgadd Adds configuration members (zones) to the specified zone configuration. cfgremove Deletes the specified configuration members (zones) from the specified zone configuration. cfgdelete Deletes the specified zone configuration settings. The following example shows the zone configuration settings for an SN200_0.
