Configuration overview

The DC04 SAN Director must be configured before it is connected to the fabric. All configuration
commands must be entered through the active CP blade. The DC04 SAN Director configuration
includes the following parameters:
• IP address and subnet mask for the chassis
• IP addresses, host names, subnet masks, and gateway addresses for both CP blades
• Switch name
• Domain ID for the DC04 SAN Director (optional)
• WWN for the DC04 SAN Director
The DC04 SAN Director WWN is initially set by the factory to match the license ID (which is based
on the chassis serial number). The WWN can be changed but the license ID cannot be modified.
The configuration information is mirrored to the standby CP blade, which allows the current
configuration to remain available even if the active CP blade fails. The configuration information for
the DC04 SAN Director is stored in the WWN cards and the flash memory of the CP blades. The
configuration can be backed up to a workstation (uploaded) and then downloaded to the active CP
blade if necessary.
