Configuration overview

The DC SAN Director must be configured before it is connected to the fabric. All configuration
commands must be entered through the active CP blade. The DC 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 DC SAN Director (optional)
• WWN for the DC SAN Director
The DC 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 DC 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.

Director
To establish a serial connection and log on to the DC SAN Director:
1. Verify that the DC SAN Director is powered on and that POST is complete by verifying that all
power LED indicators on the port, control processor, and core switch blades display a steady
green light.
