Reconnecting The System To The Network And Fabric; Verifying Correct Configuration Of The Fabric - IBM System Storage SAN384B-2 Installation, Service And User Manual

Reconnecting the system to the network and fabric

See the cable routing and port connection information recorded previously in
Table 17 on page 110 for the steps.
To reconnect the system to the network and fabric, complete the steps.
1. Connect the CP blades to the local area network:
2. Reconnect the transceivers and cables to the port blades. See details in

Verifying correct configuration of the fabric

Copying the command outputs from this section into a file is recommended.

a. Connect the appropriate Ethernet cables into each Ethernet port.
b. Connect the other ends to an Ethernet 10/100 Base-T LAN, if not already
connected.
Note: The SAN384B-2 can be accessed by remote connection using any of
the available management tools, such as Telnet or Web Tools. Ensure
that the system is not modified using other connections during the
rest of this procedure.
"Removing and installing transceivers" on page 90, particularly for differences
between the SFP+ and mSFP installations.
Note: The ports and cables used in trunking groups must meet specific
requirements. For a list of these requirements, refer to the Fabric OS
Administrator's Guide.
a. Position one of the transceivers so that the key is oriented correctly to the
port and insert the transceiver into the port until it is firmly seated and the
latching mechanism clicks.
Note: For mSFPs in the FC8-64 high density port blades, connect the cables
to the mSFPs first, then insert the entire cable-transceiver assembly
into the port.
b. Select the cable that corresponds to the port and position it so that the key
(the ridge on one side of the cable connector) is aligned with the slot in the
transceiver; then, insert the cable into the transceiver until the latching
mechanism clicks.
c. Repeat steps a and b for the remaining ports.
Attention: Do not route cables in front of the air exhaust vent (located on
the upper and lower port side of the chassis).
d. Organize the cables as required (see "Managing cables" on page 44).
Attention: Do not route cables in front of the air exhaust vents.
