rack-mounted devices.
v Do not install a unit in a rack where the air flow is compromised. Ensure that air flow
is not blocked or reduced on any side, front, or back of a unit used for air flow
through the unit.
v Consideration should be given to the connection of the equipment to the supply circuit
so that overloading of the circuits does not compromise the supply wiring or
overcurrent protection. To provide the correct power connection to a rack, refer to the
rating labels located on the equipment in the rack to determine the total power
requirement of the supply circuit.
v (For sliding drawers) Do not pull out or install any drawer or feature if the rack stabilizer
brackets are not attached to the rack. Do not pull out more than one drawer at a time.
The rack might become unstable if you pull out more than one drawer at a time.
v (For fixed drawers) This drawer is a fixed drawer and must not be moved for servicing
unless specified by the manufacturer. Attempting to move the drawer partially or
completely out of the rack might cause the rack to become unstable or cause the
drawer to fall out of the rack.

Safety and environmental notices xix

 Rack relocation (19" rack)
CAUTION:
Removing components from the upper positions in the rack cabinet improves
rack stability during relocation. Follow these general guidelines whenever you
relocate a populated rack cabinet within a room or building:
v Reduce the weight of the rack cabinet by removing equipment starting at the
top of the rack cabinet. When possible, restore the rack cabinet to the
configuration of the rack cabinet as you received it. If this configuration is not
known, you must do the following:
– Remove all devices in the 32U position and above.
– Ensure that the heaviest devices are installed in the bottom of the rack
cabinet.
– Ensure that there are no empty U-levels between devices installed in the
rack cabinet below the 32U level.
– If the rack cabinet you are relocating is part of a suite of rack cabinets,
detach the rack cabinet from the suite.
– Inspect the route that you plan to take when moving the rack to eliminate
potential hazards.
– Verify that the route that you choose can support the weight of the loaded
rack cabinet. Refer to the documentation that came with your rack cabinet
for the weight of a loaded rack cabinet.
– Verify that all door openings are at least 760 x 2030 mm (30 x 80 in.).
– Ensure that all devices, shelves, drawers, doors, and cables are secure.
– Ensure that the four leveling pads are raised to their highest position.
– Ensure that there is no stabilizer bracket installed on the rack cabinet
during movement.
– Do not use a ramp inclined at more than 10 degrees.
– Once the rack cabinet is in the new location, do the following:
- Lower the four leveling pads.
- Install stabilizer brackets on the rack cabinet.
- If you removed any devices from the rack cabinet, repopulate the rack
cabinet from the lowest position to the highest position.
– If a long distance relocation is required, restore the rack cabinet to the
configuration of the rack cabinet as you received it. Pack the rack cabinet in
the original packaging material, or equivalent. Also, lower the leveling

xxiv SAN06B-R Installation, Service, and User Guide

Chapter 1. Introducing the SAN06B-R
The SAN06B-R is intended as a platform for Fibre Channel over IP (FCIP). This
enables transmission of Fibre Channel data over long distances via IP networks by
wrapping Fibre Channel frames in IP packets. Each end of the FCIP
communication path must be a compatible FCIP device, either the SAN06B-R or
the FX8-24 blade in a SAN384B or SAN768B chassis.

Refer to the Fabric OS Administrator’s Guide for information on configuring these

features.

The base model of the switch is shipped with six Fibre Channel SFP ports and two
physical Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) ports active. It includes the latest FOS level and is
compatible with the entire IBM b-type switch family. It can operate independently
or in a fabric containing multiple Extension Switches.

A fully licensed SAN06B-R provides the following functionality features:

v FCIP capability
– Up to 8 FCIP tunnels.
– Each FCIP tunnel is represented and managed as a virtual Fibre Channel
E_Port (VE_Port).
– Fibre Channel Routing Services functionality can be used over the FCIP link.
– Fabrics connected through FCIP merge if the ports are configured as
VE_Ports, and do not merge if one end of the connection is configured as a
VEx_Port. If VE_Ports are used in a Fibre Channel Routing Services backbone
fabric configuration, then the backbone fabric merges but the Ex_Port
attached to edge fabrics do not merge. For more information see the Fabric OS
Administrator’s Guide.
v FCIP Trunking with load balancing and network-based failure recovery
v Adaptive Rate Limiting
– Configurable maximum and minimum committed bandwidth per FCIP tunnel
– Minimum rate is guaranteed rate
v FC frame compression before FCIP encapsulation
v Fibre Channel Routing
v SO-TCP with reorder resistance
v FastWrite over FCIP (not over FC)
v Open Systems Tape Pipelining over FCIP
v FICON CUP
v FCIP QoS
v TCP performance graphing in Web Tools

The switch provides the following hardware features:

v Up to 16 Fibre Channel SFP ports supporting Fibre Channel Routing Services
with link speeds up to 1, 2, 4, or 8 Gbps.
v Up to six 1 GbE ports supporting the FCIP and Fibre Channel Routing Services
features with transmit link speeds up to 1-Gbps on each port.

© Copyright IBM Corp. 2009, 2013 1

 Note: Two ports (ge0 and ge1) can be configured for use with either copper or
optical cables.
v Rack mountable 1U chassis.
v One 10/100/1000 Base-T Ethernet port for management interface.

EZSwitch Setup, follow the instructions in the rest of this section.

For more information about the commands used in these procedures, refer to the
Fabric OS Command Reference.

14 SAN06B-R Installation, Service, and User Guide

Planning for cable management
Attention: The minimum bend radius for Cat5 and Cat6 copper cables and 50
micron cable is 51 mm (2 in.) under full tensile load and 30.5 mm (1.2 in.) with no
tensile load. Because they can be easily overtightened, tie wraps are not
recommended for use with optical cables.

Cables can be organized and managed in a variety of ways: for example, using
cable channels on the sides of the cabinet or patch panels to minimize cable
management. A list of best practices follows:
v Plan for rack space required for cable management before installing the switch.
v Leave at least 1 meter (3.28 ft) of slack for each port cable. This provides room
to remove and replace the switch, allows for inadvertent movement of the rack,
and helps prevent the cables from being bent to less than the minimum bend
radius.
v For easier maintenance, label the fiber optic cables and record the devices to
which they are connected.
v Keep LEDs visible by routing port cables and other cables away from the LEDs.
v Do not use tie wraps on fiber optic cables, because wraps can be easily
overtightened and can damage the optic fibers.

Items required for setup

The following items are required for configuring and connecting the switch for use
in a network and fabric:
v The switch, installed and connected to a power source
v Workstation with an installed terminal emulator, such as HyperTerminal
v Available IP address and corresponding subnet mask and gateway address
v Serial cable (provided)
v Ethernet cable
v SFP transceivers and compatible fiber and copper cables, as required
v Access to an FTP server for backing up or downloading the switch configuration

Setting up the switch

Follow the steps described in the next sections to set up your switch.
v “Providing power to the switch” on page 16
v “Creating a serial connection” on page 16
v “Setting the switch IP address” on page 17
v “Creating an Ethernet connection and logging in” on page 18

Chapter 2. Installing and configuring the SAN06B-R 15

 Attention: Do not connect the switch to the network until the IP address is
correctly set.

Providing power to the switch

DANGER
An electrical outlet that is not correctly wired could place
hazardous voltage on metal parts of the system or the devices that
attach to the system. It is the responsibility of the customer to
ensure that the outlet is correctly wired and grounded to prevent
an electrical shock. (D004)

Follow these steps to provide power to the switch.

1. Connect the power cords to the receptacles on the two power supplies on the
back of the switch.
Attention: Ensure that the power cables are routed so that they are not
pinched or exposed to stress when the switch is moved on the slide-rails.
Ensure that the cords have a minimum service loop of 15 cm (6 in.) available at
the connection to the switch.
2. Connect the other end of the power cords to the two power sources.
Attention: To protect against AC failure, connect the power cords to outlets
on separate circuits.
3. Press the "|” area of the power switch. The power supply LEDs display amber,
and the switch begins running the power on self-test (POST). The switch
requires one to three minutes to boot and complete the POST process. The LED
will then change to green.

Note: Power is supplied to the switch as soon as the first power supply is
connected and turned on.
4. After POST is complete, verify that the System Status and Power Status LEDs
display steady green (see Figure 1 on page 3).
For more information about the LEDs and their status during POST, refer to
“LED activity” on page 25.

Creating a serial connection

All basic configuration tasks in this guide are performed using a serial connection.
To create a serial connection to the switch, complete the following steps:
1. Remove the plug from the serial port and insert the serial cable provided with
the switch.
2. Connect the serial cable to the console port on the switch and to an RS-232
serial port on the workstation.
If the serial port on the workstation is RJ-45 instead of RS-232, remove the
adapter on the end of the serial cable and insert the exposed RJ-45 connector
into the RJ-45 serial port on the workstation.
3. Disable any serial communication programs running on the workstation.
4. Open a terminal emulator application (such as HyperTerminal on a PC, or
TERM, TIP, or Kermit in a UNIX environment), and configure the application
as follows:
v In a Windows environment:
Bits per second 9600

16 SAN06B-R Installation, Service, and User Guide

 Databits 8
Parity None
Stop bits 1
Flow control None
v In a UNIX environment, enter the following string at the prompt:
tip /dev/ttyb -9600

If ttyb is already in use, use ttya instead and enter the following string at the
prompt:
tip /dev/ttya -9600

Connecting to the switch using the serial connection

Perform the following steps to log in to the switch through the serial connection.
1. Verify that the switch has completed POST. When POST is complete, the port
status and power and status LEDs return to a standard healthy state; for
information about LED patterns, see “LED activity” on page 25.
2. When the terminal emulator application stops reporting information, press
Enter to display the login prompt.
3. Log in to the switch as admin, using the default password: password. You will
be prompted to change the default passwords at initial login.

Setting the switch IP address

You can configure the switch with a static IP address, or you can use a DHCP
(Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) server to set the IP address of the switch.
DHCP is enabled by default. The switch supports both IPv4 and IPv6.

Using DHCP to set the IP address: When using DHCP, the switch obtains its IP
address, subnet mask, and default gateway address from the DHCP server. The
DHCP client can only connect to a DHCP server that is on the same subnet as the
switch. If your DHCP server is not on the same subnet as the switch, use a static
IP address.

Setting a static IP address:

1. Log into the switch using the default password, which is password.
2. Use the ipaddrset command to set the Ethernet IP address.
v To use an IPv4 IP address, enter the IP address in dotted decimal notation as
prompted.
Ethernet IP Address: [192.168.74.102]
v To use an IPv6 address, enter the network information in colon-separated
notation as prompted.
switch:admin> ipaddrset -ipv6 --add 1080::8:800:200C:417A/64
IP address is being changed...Done.
3. Complete the rest of the network information as prompted (IPv4 format
shown).
Ethernet Subnetmask: [255.255.255.0]
Ethernet IP Address: [192.168.74.102]
Ethernet Subnetmask: [255.255.255.0]
4. Enter off to Disable DHCP when prompted.
DHCP [OFF]: off

Chapter 2. Installing and configuring the SAN06B-R 17

 Changing the switch name and chassis name
Changing the switch and chassis names are important for accurate tracking of
errors in the RASlog. The messages that appear in the log will be labelled with the
switch or chassis name, which makes tracking the errors much easier. Choose an
easily understandable and meaningful name for each.

Perform the following steps to change the chassis name and then the switch name.
1. Log on to the switch through Telnet, using the admin account.
2. Change the chassis name by using the chassisName command.
switch:admin> chassisname my7800chassis
switch:admin> chassisname
my7800chassis
3. Change the switch name by using the switchName command.
switch:admin> switchname my7800switch
switch:admin> switchname
my7800switch

Creating an Ethernet connection and logging in

Create an Ethernet connection to the switch by completing the following steps:
1. Remove the plug from the Ethernet port (see Figure 1 on page 3).
2. Insert one end of an Ethernet cable into the Ethernet port.
3. Connect the other end to the workstation (or to an Ethernet network containing
the workstation).

Note: The switch can now be accessed remotely using command line or Web
Tools. Ensure that the switch is not being modified from any other
connections during the configuration process.

Setting the switch domain ID

Perform the following steps to set the switch domain ID.
1. Log on to the switch through Telnet, using the admin account.
2. Modify the domain ID if required.
The default domain ID is 1. If the switch is not powered on until after it is
connected to the fabric and the default domain ID is already in use, the domain
ID for the new switch is automatically reset to a unique value. If the switch is
connected to the fabric after it has been powered on and the default domain ID
is already in use, the fabric will segment. To find the domain IDs that are
currently in use, run the fabricShow command on another extension switch in
the fabric.
a. Disable the switch by entering the switchDisable command.
b. Enter the configure command. The command prompts will display
sequentially; enter a new value or press Enter to accept each default value.
c. Enter y after the "Fabric param" prompt:
Fabric param (yes, y, no, n): [no] y
d. Enter a unique domain ID (such as the domain ID used by the previous
extension switch, if still available):
Domain: (1..239) [1] 3
e. Complete the remaining prompts or press Ctrl+D to accept the remaining
settings without completing all the prompts.
f. Re-enable the switch by entering the switchEnable command.

18 SAN06B-R Installation, Service, and User Guide

Setting the switch date and time
The date and time switch settings are used for logging events. Switch operation
does not depend on the date and time; a switch with incorrect date or time values
still functions properly. You can synchronize the local time of the principal or
primary fabric configuration server (FCS) switch to that of an external Network
Time Protocol (NTP) server.

Perform the following steps to set the date and time of the switch.

Setting the date and time

1. Log in to the switch as admin.
2. Enter the date command, using the following syntax:

date "MMDDhhmm[CC]YY"

The values represent the following:

v MM is the month (01-12)
v DD is the date (01-31)
v hh is the hour (00-23)
v mm is minutes (00-59)
v CC is the century (19-20)
v YY is the year (00-99)
Year values greater than 69 are interpreted as 1970-1999; year values less than
70 are interpreted as 2000-2069. The date function does not support Daylight
Savings Time or time zones, so changes will have to be reset manually.

switch:admin> date

switch:admin> date "0927123007"
Thu Sep 27 12:30:00 UTC 2007
switch:admin>

Synchronizing local time with an external source

Perform the following steps to synchronize the local time of the principal or
primary FCS switch with that of an external NTP server.
1. Log in as admin.
2. Enter the tsClockServer ipaddr command.

The ipaddr variable represents the IP address of the NTP server that the switch can
access. This argument is optional; by default the value is LOCL.
sw7800:admin> tsclockserver 192.168.126.60
Updating Clock Server configuration...done.
Updated with the NTP servers
sw7800:admin>

Correcting the time zone of the switch

If the time of your switch is off by hours (and not minutes), use the following
procedure to set the time zone. This needs to be done only once, because the value
is stored in nonvolatile memory.
1. Log in as admin.
2. You can use the tstimezone -interactive command and follow the prompts or
enter the tsTimeZone command as follows:
tstimezone [houroffset [, minuteoffset]]

Chapter 2. Installing and configuring the SAN06B-R 19

 The values of houroffset and minuteoffset are determined by your time zone. The
default time zone for switches is universal time conversion (UTC). For U.S. time
zones, use Table 6 to determine the correct values.

Note: The values in Table 6 do not apply if the time zone of the switches has
already been changed from the default.
Table 6. tsTimeZone command parameter values
Time zone houroffset minuteoffset
Atlantic Standard -4 0
Atlantic Daylight -3 0
Eastern Standard -5 0
Eastern Daylight -4 0
Central Standard -6 0
Central Daylight -5 0
Mountain Standard -7 0
Mountain Daylight -6 0
Pacific Standard -8 0
Pacific Daylight -7 0
Alaskan Standard -9 0
Alaskan Daylight -8 0
Hawaiian Standard -10 0

For more detailed information about the parameters of the tsTimeZone command,
refer to the Fabric OS Command Reference.

Configuring FCIP and Fibre Channel routing services

The ports on the switch are initially set to persistently disabled. Once the switch is
powered on, the port LEDs will flash amber until they are enabled. This is normal.
If you want to enable the FC ports as a standard E_Port or F_port, use the
portCfgPersistentEnable command to enable the ports. If you are using the FC
ports as EX_Ports you must configure the Fibre Channel Routing Services feature
prior to enabling the ports. The GbE ports can only be used after you have
configured FCIP and enabled the VE_Ports. See the “Using the FC-FC Routing
Service” and “Using the FCIP Tunneling Service” chapters of the Fabric OS
Administrator’s Guide for detailed instructions on configuring the Fibre Channel
Router ports and GbE ports on the switch.

20 SAN06B-R Installation, Service, and User Guide

 Installing SFPs
| Attention: With increasing speeds of optical connections, the cleanliness of the
| connections assumes greater importance in ensuring maximum performance and
| error free transmission. Due to the tighter tolerances associated with state of the art
| optics, levels of contamination that were acceptable at lower speeds may not be at
| higher speeds. While IEC Standard 61300-3-35 specifies a set of guidelines for
| trouble free performance, most issues can be avoided by adhering to the following
| best practices:
| v When cables or connectors are not in use for extended periods of time, use the
| dust covers provided.
| v Ensure that the cable length and type that is used are suitable for the speed and
| application.
| v Inspect and clean optical connections and fiber cables before you connect or
| reconnect components.
| v Ensure that cables are properly seated within the connector.
| Kits are commercially available for cleaning and inspecting these connections. IBM
| also offers services that will ensure optimal condition of the network.

Perform the following steps to install SFPs and cable the switch.
1. Install the SFP transceivers in the Fibre Channel ports, as required. The ports
selected for use in trunking groups must meet specific requirements. For a list
of these requirements, see the Fabric OS Administrator’s Guide.
a. Remove the plugs from the ports to be used.
| b. Ensure that both cable and transceiver are clean prior to installation.
c. Position a transceiver so that it is oriented correctly and insert it into a port
until it is firmly seated and the latching mechanism clicks. For instructions
specific to the type of transceiver, see the transceiver manufacturer’s
documentation.

Note: The transceivers are keyed to ensure correct orientation. If a

transceiver does not install easily, ensure that it is correctly oriented.
d. Repeat steps 1a through1c for the remaining ports, as required.
2. If you have chosen to use the optical ports for ge0 and ge1, install those SFPs.
If you have licensed the additional GbE ports, install the SFP transceivers in
GbE ports ge2 through ge5.
a. Remove the plugs from the ports to be used.
| b. Ensure that both cable and transceiver are clean prior to installation.
c. Position a transceiver so that it is oriented correctly and insert it into a port
until it is firmly seated and the latching mechanism clicks. Be sure that you
are using Brocade-branded 4 Gbps SFPs in the GbE ports.
d. Use the portcfggemediatype command to configure ge0 and ge1 to either
copper or optical. For instance, to select the optical option for port ge0, use
the following command.
switch:admin> portcfggemediatype ge0 optical

Connecting cables
Attention: A 50-micron cable should not be bent to a radius less than 5 cm (2 in.)
under full tensile load and 3 cm (1.2 in.) with no tensile load. Tie wraps are not
recommended for optical cables because they can be easily overtightened.

Chapter 2. Installing and configuring the SAN06B-R 21

 1. Orient a cable connector so that the key (the ridge on one side of connector)
aligns with the slot in the transceiver. Then, insert the cable into the transceiver
until the latching mechanism clicks. For instructions specific to cable type, see
the cable manufacturer's documentation.

Note: The cable connectors are keyed to ensure correct orientation. If a cable
does not install easily, ensure that it is correctly oriented.
2. Repeat for the remaining cables as required.
3. If you have chosen the copper option for GbE ports ge0 and ge1, install those
cables now.
4. Check the LEDs to verify that all components are functional. For information
about LED patterns, see “LED activity” on page 25.
5. Verify the correct operation of the switch by entering the switchShow
command from the workstation.

Verifying correct operation of the switch

To verify the correct operation of the switch, complete these steps:
1. Check the LEDs to verify that all components are functional. For information
about LED patterns, refer to “LED activity” on page 25.
2. Run the portCfgPersistntEnable command to activate the FC ports for FC
operation.
3. Verify the correct operation of the switch by entering the switchShow

4. Verify the correct operation of the switch in the fabric by entering the
fabricShow command from the workstation. This command provides general
information about the fabric.

Backing up the configuration

You should save all key configuration data for the switch (including license key
information) and upload it to a FTP server for emergency reference. Back up the
configuration on a routine basis to ensure that a complete and current
configuration is available if needed.

After configurations are complete, back up the configuration by entering the

configUpload command and following the prompts.
sw7800:admin> configupload
Protocol (scp, ftp, local) [ftp]:
Server Name or IP Address host: 192.168.0.100
User Name user: anonymous
Path/Filename [home dir/config.txt]:
Section (all|chassis|switch [all]): all
configUpload complete: All selected config parameters are uploaded
sw7800:admin>

The configUpload command uploads the switch configuration to the server so that
it is available for downloading to a replacement switch, if necessary. For specific
instructions about how to back up and restore the configuration, see the
“Maintaining Configurations” chapter in the Fabric OS Administrator's Guide. The
switchShow, fabricShow, and configUpload commands are described in detail in
the Fabric OS Command Reference.

Managing license keys (optional)

Depending on what has been ordered, certain licenses are factory-installed on the
switch. Feature licenses might be included as a paperpack item in the switch
shipping carton. This paperpack provides you with keys to unlock the features.
You can also purchase licenses separately from IBM.

Attention: Retain this paperpack in a safe place. The transaction keys in the
paperpack are required for activation of optional features on the switch. After a
feature is activated, its activation key is associated with a specific product WWN
and serial number.

Refer to the following sections for information about viewing the current licenses,
adding a license, or removing a license. For more information on the following
procedures, see the Fabric OS Administrator's Guide and the Fabric OS Command
Reference.

Chapter 2. Installing and configuring the SAN06B-R 23

 Viewing current license keys
To view the licenses that are currently enabled on the switch, complete the
following steps.
1. Log in as admin.
2. Enter the licenseShow command. A list of the enabled licenses and their
features is displayed, as in the following example.
APswitch:admin> licenseshow
License Key: bQebzeRdScRfc0iK
Web license
License Key: SybbzQQ9edTzcd0X
Zoning license
APswitch:admin>

Adding a license key

Licenses for additional functionality may be purchased as feature codes through
IBM. Contact your IBM representative for more information. You will need to
supply IBM with the WWN to obtain a transaction key, which is sent in a
paperpack. To obtain the license key, follow the instructions included in the
paperpack. The transaction key and the switch WWN or product serial number are
required to obtain the license key.

To add a license to the switch, complete the following steps.

1. Log in as admin.
2. Enter the switchShow command to obtain the WWN of your switch. The
license key is a string of approximately 16 uppercase and lowercase letters and
digits. Case is significant. The key is an encrypted form of the system WWN
and the products licensed to run on this system.
3. Enter the licenseAdd command, followed by the license key enclosed in
quotation marks, as shown in the following example.
APswitch:admin> licenseadd "aBcDeFGh12345K"
License key aBcDeFGh12345 added

Enter the license key into the system exactly as issued. If you enter it
incorrectly, the license might be accepted, but it will not function.
4. After entering the license key, use the licenseShow command to verify that it is
valid. If a licensed product is not displayed, the license is invalid.

Note: After you enter a license, the licensed product is available immediately;
the system does not need to be rebooted.

Removing a license key

To remove a license from the switch, complete the following steps.
1. Log in as admin.
2. Enter the licenseRemove command, followed by the license key enclosed in
quotation marks, as in the following example.
APswitch:admin> licenseremove "bQebzbRdScRfc0iK"
removing license key "bQebzbRdScRfc0iK"
3. Save the license key information in case you want to reinstall it in the future.
4. After removing the license key, the switch must be rebooted.
5. Use the licenseShow command to verify that the license key has been
removed.

24 SAN06B-R Installation, Service, and User Guide

Chapter 3. Operating the SAN06B-R
The switch is engineered for reliability and requires no routine operational
maintenance. However, this chapter provides information about determining the
overall status of the system and each of its components using LEDs and CLI
commands.

This chapter provides the following information:

v “LED activity”
v “Interpreting POST results” on page 30
v “Diagnostics and troubleshooting” on page 31

LED activity
System activity and status can be determined through the activity of the LEDs on
the switch.

There are three possible LED states:

v No light
v Flashing
v Steady light

Active lights are either green or amber. The status LEDs might display solid amber
or flash during boot, POST, or other diagnostic tests. This is normal; it does not
indicate a problem unless the LEDs do not indicate a healthy state after all boot
processes and diagnostic tests are complete.

LEDs on the port side of the switch

The port side of the switch has the following LEDs:
v One system status LED (above) on the left side.
v One power status LED (below) on the left side.
v Management Ethernet port speed and activity LEDs.
v One port status LED for each Fibre Channel port on the switch. The port LEDs
are located in the array in the same relative positions as the ports.
v One port status LED for each optical GbE port.
v Two LEDs for each copper GbE port, one activity/status LED and one fault
LED.

Figure 9 on page 26 shows the port side of the switch.

Power supply/fan status LED patterns

Each power supply/fan assembly has one LED (
4 and
8 in Figure 10) next to
the AC power switch. This LED indicates the status of the power supply and the
fan. Table 13 on page 30 describes the meaning of different displays of the LEDs
and recommended action, if any.

Interpreting POST results

POST is a system check that is performed each time the switch is powered on,
rebooted, or reset, and during which the LEDs flash different colors.

To determine whether POST completed successfully and whether any errors were
detected:
1. Verify that the LEDs on the switch indicate that all components are healthy (see
“LED activity” on page 25). If one or more LEDs do not display a healthy state:
a. Verify that the LEDs are not set to “beacon” (this can be determined
through the switchShow command or Web Tools). For information about
how to turn beaconing on and off, see the Fabric OS Administrator's Guide or
the Web Tools Administrator's Guide.
b. Follow the recommended action for the observed LED behavior, as listed in
the tables in “LED activity” on page 25.
2. Verify that diagShow command displays that the diagnostic status for all ports
in the switch is OK.
3. Review the system log for errors. Errors detected during POST are written to
the system log, which is viewed using the errShow command. For more
information about this command, see the Fabric OS Command Reference. For
information about specific error messages, see the Fabric OS Message Reference.

Diagnostics and troubleshooting
The switch is designed for high availability and low failure. It does not require any
regular physical maintenance. It includes diagnostic tests and field-replaceable
units, described in the following sections.

Diagnostic tests
In addition to POST, Fabric OS includes diagnostic tests to help you troubleshoot
the hardware and firmware. This includes tests of internal connections and
circuitry, fixed media, and the transceivers and cables in use. The tests are
implemented by command, either through a Telnet session or through a terminal
set up for a serial connection to the switch. Some tests require the ports to be
connected by external cables, to allow diagnostics to verify the
serializer/deserializer interface, transceiver, and cable. Some tests require loopback
plugs.

Diagnostic tests are run at link speeds of 1 Gbps, 2 Gbps, 4 Gbps, and 8 Gbps. For
information about specific diagnostic tests, see the Fabric OS Administrator's Guide.

Note: Diagnostic tests might temporarily lock the transmit and receive speed of
the links during diagnostic testing. After completing offline diagnostics tests,
power-cycle the switch.

CRU status
The power supply/fan assemblies are customer replaceable units (CRUs), which
can be replaced without the use of special tools. To determine the status of these
CRUs, use the following diagnostic procedures. Follow the procedures in
“Replacing a power supply/fan assembly” on page 32 if you determine that any
CRUs are defective.

Power supply/fan assemblies

The two power supply/fan assemblies, #1 (
1 in Figure 11 on page 32) and #2
(
2), are hot-swappable. They are identical and fit into either power supply/fan
slot. They are keyed to prevent being inserted upside down.

Fabric OS identifies the power supply/fan assemblies as follows (viewing the

switch from the nonport side):
v Power supply #1 on the right
v Power supply #2 on the left

Fabric OS identifies the fan asemblies as follows (viewing the switch from the
nonport side):
v Fan assembly #1 on the right
v Fan assembly #2 on the left

The FRUs are cross-connected so that if one power supply fails, the fans will
continue to run on power from the other power supply.

Use any of the following methods to determine whether a power supply needs to
be replaced:
v Check the power supply status LED next to the On/Off switch (see “Power
status LED patterns” on page 26).
v In Web Tools, click the Power Status or Fan Status icons.

Chapter 3. Operating the SAN06B-R 31

 v Enter the psShow (or fanShow) command at the command prompt to display
power supply status as shown in the example below:
sw7800:admin> psshow
Power Supply #1 is OK
V10529, TQ2H0000118 ,60-0300031-01,X2, ,SP640 ,2X,TQ2H0000

See “Replacing a power supply/fan assembly” for information on how to remove

and replace the CRU.

Replacing a power supply/fan assembly

This section describes how to remove and replace the power supply/fan
assemblies. Although these CRUs can be removed and replaced without special
tools, qualified personnel should perform the installation and service procedures.
The switch can continue operating during the CRU replacement if you adhere to
the conditions specified in the procedures.

Attention: Before installing, removing, or replacing any component, read and

follow the “Safety notices and labels” on page xiii.

The switch has two power supply/fan assemblies, #1 (
1 in Figure 11) and #2
(
2). The power supply/fan assemblies are hot-swappable as long as one of them
remains operating during the procedure. Each power supply/fan is identical and
fits into either power supply/fan slot. Refer to “Power supply/fan status LED
patterns” on page 29 to help diagnose problems with a power supply/fan. You can
also use the switchStatusShow command to verify the status of the power
supply/fan assemblies. Refer to the Fabric OS Command Reference for more
information on this command.

 DANGER
Hazardous voltage, current, or energy levels are present
inside any component that has this label attached. (L001)

Do not service, there are no serviceable parts.

Attention: Disassembling any part of the power supply/fan assembly voids the
part warranty and regulatory certifications. There are no user-serviceable parts
inside the power supply/fan assembly.
Because the cooling system relies on pressurized air, do not leave either of the
power supply/fan slots empty longer than 2 minutes while the switch is operating.
If a power supply/fan fails, leave it in the switch until it can be replaced. This will
ensure proper airflow for cooling.
Maintain both power supply/fan assemblies in operational condition to provide
redundancy.

Procedure: Complete the following steps to remove and replace a power

supply/fan assembly.
1. To leave the switch in service while you replace a power supply/fan assembly,
verify that the other power supply/fan (the one not being replaced) has been
powered on for at least four seconds and has a green LED.
2. Power off the power supply/fan being replaced by pressing the AC power
switch to “O”.
3. Unplug the power cord from the power supply/fan that you are replacing.
4. Unscrew the captive screw, using a Phillips screwdriver.
5. Remove the power supply/fan from the chassis by pulling the handle on the
power supply/fan out, away from the chassis.
6. Install the new power supply/fan in the chassis:
Attention: Do not force the installation. If the power supply/fan does not
slide in easily, ensure that it is correctly oriented before continuing.
a. Verify that the AC switch on the new power supply/fan is in the “O” (off)
position.
b. Orient the power supply/fan as shown in Figure 12, with the ac switch on
the left.

| Appendix B. Link troubleshooting

| IBM SAN b-type directors and switches use the latest high bandwidth Fibre
| Channel technology and auto-negotiate to 16 Gbps, 8 Gbps, 4 Gbps, or 2 Gbps
| based on the link data rate capability of the attached transceiver and the speed
| supported by the switches and directors. Negotiation to 1 Gbps is not supported
| unless 4 Gbps FC transceivers are used. As the 8 and 16 Gbps channel is more
| sensitive to the condition of the existing multimode and single mode cable plant, it
| is very important to minimize connector reflections and maintain an acceptable
| link loss budget.

| This section provides link troubleshooting advice on fault isolation and provides
| guidance in the following areas:
| v Dust and dirt contamination
| v Link loss
| v Attenuation on LWL connections
|
| Fault isolation
| Since a job loss issue can be caused by a variety of problems, it is important to
| employ a systematic fault isolation process to remedy the issue. Note that job
| losses do not necessarily result from link errors. They may also be due to:
| v Configuration issues
| v Networking overload
| v Failures on storage device, switch, or server

| Assume for these procedures that the observed errors originate from link errors
| and are not the result of configuration issues, network overload or network
| equipment failures.

| Whenever CRC errors are discovered on a particular link, it is easy to jump to the
| conclusion that the link is causing the network issue. This might not be the case.
| Since CRC errors are just symptoms of a link issue, we need to trace the
| propagated error to where it originated.

| Figure 14 shows a simplified network involving a server, a switch, and a storage

| device. In this example, assume that the server experienced an error at port 1. This
| observable error can potentially originate from links 1, 2, 3, or 4 and/or SFP 1, 2, 3,
| or 4.

| Figure 14. Identifying the origin of failure
|
| To determine the original failing link, the observable CRC error needs to be
| tracked back to the first occurrence of the CRC error. By following this process, it

© Copyright IBM Corp. 2009, 2013 43

| is discovered in this example that CRC errors observed in link 4 were propagated
| from link 3, which in turn originated from link 2.

| Once the original failing link (link 2) has been determined, the two connecting
| ports of that link need to be checked for the following errors:
| v Encoder errors
| v Disparity errors
| v Invalid transmission words
| The port that displays any of the above errors is the cause of the link issue, which
| can be caused by dust or dirt in the connectors or fiber, an insufficient link loss
| budget, and/or incompatible SFPs.
|
| Dust, dirt, or other contaminants
| One of the most common optical link problems is caused by dust, dirt, or oil in the
| connectors and fiber. 8 and 16 Gbps links are more prone to such issues while
| lower link data rates, such as 1, 2, or 4 Gbps may be unaffected.

| Once the failing port has been identified by following the above fault isolation
| process, the receive power of the transceiver sitting in that port needs to be
| determined. An abnormally low receive power usually means that the physical link
| is dirty.

| The receive power can be checked by querying the SFP diagnostics data via the
| command line interface. This information will provide a rough gauge whether the
| receive power is abnormally lower than the minimum receive specification of the
| transceiver. It is also prudent to compare this receive power with those of
| neighboring transceivers.

| For better accuracy, it is advisable to use a power meter to measure the actual
| receive power of the link. If you are experiencing excessive bit errors and the
| receive power of the transceiver is abnormally low, it is recommended that you:
| v Re-seat the transceivers for the failing link
| v Clean the connector and optical fiber
| Most link issues are solved by completing these steps.
|
| Best practices for minimizing link loss
| The "link margin" or the "power budget" of the link is a measure of signal power
| gain or loss expressed in decibels (dB). Maintaining a healthy link budget is critical
| to establishing a reliable and stable network.

| Follow these best practices for minimizing link loss:

| v Stay well within the maximum cable distance calculated for the link.
| v Apply typical or worst-case values during loss calculations.
| v Use the highest grade cabling components for the application to be supported.
| v Match the cable type with the wavelength, bandwidth, and distance to be
| supported; do not mix cable types within a link.
| v Inspect loss ratings of all cabling components during the selection process.
| v Record loss measurements for horizontal and vertical cable runs during
| installation.

44 SAN06B-R Installation, Service, and User Guide

| v Become familiar with how to quickly determine the link budget and link loss of
| selected sections of the cabling.
| v Account for power loss associated with future repairs and expansion.
| v Do not stress the cables.
| v Prototype a link with anticipated maximum cable distance and selected
| components—and then take measurements to calculate the actual link loss
|
| Attenuation on LWL connections
| In the datacenter environment, there may be 8 Gbps or 4 Gbps LWL transceivers
| that are connected to 2 Gbps LWL transceivers using single-mode fiber over short
| distances. Such connections need to be optically engineered because there is a
| possibility that the transmit power of the 8 Gbps / 4 Gbps LWL transceivers may
| saturate the receiver of 2 Gbps LWL transceivers and cause CRC errors.

| Attention: This discussion does not apply to 16 Gbps transceivers since

| connections between 16 Gbps and 2 Gbps transceivers is not supported.

| Refer to Table 22 for the typical specifications of maximum transmit and receive
| power of LWL transceivers. This information is also available in the information
| technology industry standard "Fibre Channel – Physical Interface-4 (FC-PI-4)"
| document.
| Table 22. Specifications of LWL 10km transceivers
| LWL SFP/SFP+ 2GFC 4GFC 8GFC
| Power, Tx (max) dB -3 -1 +0.5
1
| Power, Rx (max) dB 0 or -3 N/A N/A
1
| The maximum receive power specifications of some 2 Gbps LWL 10km transceivers can
| vary from 0dB to -3dB. However, most 2 Gbps 10km transceivers specify a maximum
| receive power of 0dB.
|

| It is important to check the maximum receive power of the 2 Gbps LWL

| transceiver in the manufacturer's datasheet.

| Without taking into account connector and fiber losses, the transmit power of 8
| Gbps / 4 Gbps LWL transceivers may be observed to overdrive the -3dB maximum
| receive power of 2 Gbps LWL transceivers. If the maximum receive power of the 2
| Gbps LWL transceiver is 0dB, a 4 Gbps LWL transceiver with a -1dB transmit
| power will not overdrive the 2 Gbps transceiver. Although some 8 Gbps LWL
| transceivers may reduce their transmit power to 4 Gbps levels, this may still
| overdrive a 2 Gbps LWL transceiver.

| Best Practice for LWL connections – Optically engineer a

| long-distance connection
| It is always a good practice to optically engineer a long-distance connection. Most
| link issues caused by SFP incompatibility can be solved either by use of 4 Gbps
| LWL transceivers or use of 8 Gbps LWL transceivers that employ rate select.

| 2G LWL SFP maximum receive power

| The IBM SAN b-type 8 Gbps and 16 Gbps directors and switches use the latest
| high bandwidth Fibre Channel technology and auto-negotiate to 16 Gbps, 8 Gbps,
| 4 Gbps, or 2 Gbps based on the link data rate capability of the attached transceiver.

Appendix B. Link troubleshooting 45

| Negotiation to 1 Gbps is not supported. Since 8 and 16 Gbps equipment is more
| sensitive, the existing cable plant may require additional attention to cable care
| after upgrading from 2 or 4 Gbps fibre. In a few cases, the Tx power of the switch
| can be higher than the connected equipment. In nearly all of those cases, there is
| enough attenuation in the existing cable plant so as not to require additional
| attenuation. The common 2 Gbps SFP Rx maximum power levels are listed in
| Table 23 and can be used as a quick method to relieve concerns of over saturation.
