If no fabric has been defined, use the Fabric window to indicate the IP Address of
the chassis which is accessible through an Ethernet port. Refer to
“Fabric Window”
on page 2-15
for details on setting up a fabric.
If a fabric has been defined, use the Fabric window to open it. Double click the
fabric icon for the fabric (or select the icon and use the Zoom button) and the
application will display the Topology window for the fabric. The Topology window
is described on
page 2-23
Adding a Switch to a Fabric
Successfully adding a switch to an existing fabric depends on:
•
The Switch has the same flash version as the fabric to which it is being
added.
•
The Switch has the same PROM version as the fabric to which it is being
added.
•
The Switch has the same SANsurfer version (or newer) as the fabric to which
it is being added.
•
The Switch has the same Fabric ID as the fabric to which it is being added.
•
The Switch has a Chassis ID that is different from the other switches in the
fabric to which it is being added. The default value of zero should be changed
to a non-zero value after connection to ensure that when another switch is
added to the fabric, a conflict does not arise from a duplicate number.
•
The R_T_TOV, R_A_TOV, E_D_TOV values are equal to all of the switches
in the fabric to which it is being added.
•
The Zoning Backup file on the Switch is cleared.
•
If the fabric to which the the switch is being added is operating in the name
server WWN zoning method, a warning should appear that there is a conflict
with the zoning method. To correct the error, acknowledge the messages and
select the WWN Group zoning method when the selection window appears.
Use the SANsurfer application to verify these conditions on switches which have
previously been connected to other fabrics or as a single switch fabric prior to
connecting them to this fabric. If the switch has never been used, these conditions
have been met by the default states. The switch is ready for installation in the
fabric.
Removing a Switch from a Fabric
To prepare a switch for removal from a fabric, it is necessary to change certain
settings to specific values to ensure that the switch is in a known condition for the
next time it is to be used.
