IBM System Storage SAN80B-4 Quick Start Guide

Complete the steps in this guide to install and setup your SAN80B-4 switch in a single-switch configuration using EZSwitchSetup. See the IBM System Storage SAN80B-4 Installation, Service, and Users Guide and the Fabric OS Administrators Guide (located on the IBM Publications CD) if you want to choose a different setup. Attention: Refer to the Safety and environmental notices section of the IBM System Storage SAN80B-4 Installation, Service, and Users Guide before starting any installation of this product.

3 Powering up and connecting cables to the switch

1. Connect the power cord to the switch and then to the power source. The power and status LEDs display amber then green. This can take from one to 3 minutes. 2. Install an Ethernet hub.

1 Getting ready
Ensure that you have the items listed below. You can either set the IP address of your switch manually or you can use a DHCP server. If you are going to use a static IP address, write the network values in the spaces provided.

3. Connect an Ethernet cable from the switch to the LAN through the Ethernet hub. 4. Attach a serial cable from the switch to the setup computer. 5. Connect an Ethernet cable from the Ethernet hub to the setup computer. 6. Attach an Ethernet cable from the Ethernet hub to the LAN/WAN.

Values to record: Fixed IP address (IPv4 or IPv6) for the switch (no DHCP server) _________________________________________ Subnet mask value _____________________________________________________________________________ Default Gateway value:__________________________________________________________________________ Switch World Wide Name (WWN): located on the switch ID pullout:_____________________________________ Items required: -Ethernet connection (hub or switch) -Host computer with an installed HBA (this computer should be on the same subnet as the Brocade switch. Do not run the host computer in the SAN. -Standard screw driver -Browser that allows pop_up windows -Ethernet and Fibre Channel Cables -Disk array with Fibre Channel ports

7. Set the connections in the wizard. Choose one of the following options: Ethernet connection to the LAN (on the same subnet as the switch) or connect directly to the switch with a serial cable. Click Next. In the Discover Switch screen: EZSwitchSetup attempts to connect to the switch across the serial cable. If the connection is successful, the Set Switch IP Address screen is displayed.

4 Setting the switch IP address

You can use either a serial or Ethernet connection to set the IP address of the switch. If you are using a DHCP server to set the IP address: the switch must have DHCP enabled and firmware 6.0 installed. The DHCP server must also be on the same subnet as the switch. 1. Enter the required information in the SetSwitch IP Address screen.

2 Installing and starting EZSwitchSetup

1. Insert the EZSwitchSetup CD into the CD-ROM drive of your setup computer. The installer will autostart in about 1 minute. 2. Install EZSwitchSetup following the onscreen directions. Installation will take a few minutes after you click OK. 3. Wait for EZSwitchSetup to start, which should happen automatically after it is installed. For Windows and Linux instructions, refer to the EZSwitchSetup Administrator s Guide.

2. If prompted to install Active X or a version of the Java runtime environment, do so. This might require you to reboot the setup computer. 3. Click Continue. The configuration wizard will load, which can take a few minutes. If a warning screen for the applet is displayed, click Yes or Run to continue.

5 Set the switch password

Your switch ships with the default password: password. Change the password of your switch and keep the new password in a secure location for reference. Write your password here if needed: _______________________________________ 1. Enter your password in the Set Parameters screen and follow the onscreen prompts. 2. Enter a new name for the switch at this time, if desired. Accept the displayed date and time and click Next.

2. Connect Fibre Channel cables from the switch (shown below) to your host and storage devices (not shown). Make the physical connections to match the connections on the Device Connection screen. a. Remove plastic protector caps from the Fibre Channel cable ends (if there are any), and position the cable connector so that it is oriented correctly. Insert the cable connector into the SFP until it is firmly seated and the latching mechanism clicks. The Device Connection screen shows missing, valid, and invalid connections as you cable the switch. Note that it can take up to 15 seconds for the connection to display as a valid connection. Verify that the connections are all green and click Next. Ne

6 Configuring the zones and performing device selection

1. Select Typical Zoning on the Zone Configuration screen and click Next. Typical Zoning is the default zone configuration. See the EZSwitchSetup Administrators Guide for more information on zone configuration. 2. Enter the number and types of devices that you are connecting to the switch on the Device Selection screen. EZSwitchSetup uses these values to automatically configure the ports on your switch for the devices that you are connecting. 4. Click Finish to exit setup.

3. The Finish screen will display this message: Congratulationsyouve successfully completed the setup!

You are now ready to configure the storage component of the SAN using the documentation that came with the storage server(s).

7 Connecting devices
The Connect Devices screen displays a graphical representation of the switch with the device connections based on the information that you entered when you configured zones and performed device selection. The Connect Devices screen will show all physical connections as missing until you connect the devices that you specified. 1. Install the SFP transceivers in the Fibre Channel ports on the switch to match the ports shown onscreen.
