Installing Fibre Channel Drivers; Configuring The Embedded Switch - HP StorageWorks 4400 Installation Manual

Ensure you have the correct quantity and length of Fibre Channel cables available to attach your
servers to the EVA.

Installing Fibre Channel drivers

If you are using Windows, the HP SmartStart EVA Storage software automatically loads the required
Fibre Channel drivers. This occurs during this installation process when you run HP SmartStart EVA

Configuring the embedded switch

The embedded switch in an HSV300-S controller has a default IP addresses that may not be visible
in your network. Any configuration changes must be made to both embedded switches in an HSV300-S
controller enclosure. This process involves connecting a cable from the Ethernet port of each switch
to a laptop computer and supplying switch addresses that are valid for your network.
NOTE:
For complete switch configuration and management instructions, see the HP StorageWorks Fabric
OS 6.1.x administrator guide at: http://www.hp.com/support/manuals. Under Storage, click

To configure an embedded switch in an HSV300-S controller:
1. Obtain a laptop and an Ethernet cable (straight-through or crossover type), and change the IP
address of the laptop to have an address in the same IP range as the embedded switch (for ex-
ample 10.77.77.79, with a subnet mask of: 255.255.255.0).
NOTE:
The embedded switch has an MDI-X port that supports straight-through or crossover Ethernet
cables. Use a Cat 5e or greater cable.
If needed, you can directly connect to the switch using the console port (2,
provided console cable (manufacturing part number 259992–001). You may need a USB adapter
for this cable if your laptop does not have a serial port.
