Configuring Fcip And Fibre Channel Routing Services And Enable The Ports; Cabling The Fr4-18I Blade - HP A7533A - Brocade 4Gb SAN Switch Base Hardware Reference Manual

Configuring FCIP and Fibre Channel Routing Services and enable the ports

The ports on the FR4-18i blade are initially set to persistently disabled.
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 once you have configured FCIP and enabled the VE_Ports.
See the HP StorageWorks Fabric OS 6.2.x administrator guide for detailed instructions on configuring
the Fibre Channel Router ports and GbE ports on the FR4-18i blade.

Cabling the FR4-18i blade

To complete the switch configuration:
1.
Install the SFP transceivers in the Fibre Channel and GbE ports, as required.
a.
Remove the rubber plugs from the ports to be used.
b.
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.
c. Repeat step a and step b for the remaining ports, as required.
2. Connect the cables to the transceivers.
CAUTION:
A 50-micron cable should not be bent to a radius less than 2 inches under full tensile load
and 1.2 inches with no tensile load. Tie wraps are not recommended for optical cables
because they are easily overtightened.
a. 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.
b.
Repeat Step a for the remaining cables as required.
3.
Check the LEDs to verify that all components are functional.
