Configuration Planning Tasks

Task 10: Plan Phone Connections

Plan for one or more telephone connections near the HAFM server for service
personnel use. While performing a diagnostic or repair action, a service
representative or network administrator at the HAFM server may require voice
technical support through a telephone connection.

Task 11: Diagram the Planned Configuration

Determine peripheral devices that will connect to each director or switch, and if
and where connectivity should be limited (zoning). These devices may include
servers, storage control devices, and other fabric elements in a multi-switch fabric.
Part of this task may have been performed when the configuration was
determined. It might be helpful to draw the configuration diagram. Indicate
distances in the diagram if necessary. Transfer information from the configuration
diagram to the product planning worksheet provided as part of
Complete the Planning

Task 12: Assign Port Names and Nicknames

During the planning process, consider assigning names to director and switch
ports based upon devices connected to the ports. Though not required, port
naming provides convenience and ease of use. Port naming also documents
devices that connect through individual ports, and identifies what is attached to
each port. When it is necessary to change port connectivity, port names make it
easier to identify the ports and attached end devices.
Also consider assigning nicknames to device and fabric World Wide Names
(WWNs). Though not required, nicknaming provides a useful substitute for the
cryptic eight-byte WWN. Once a nickname is assigned, it is referenced
throughout the HAFM application.
Transfer port names and nicknames to the product planning worksheet provided as
