Configuring A New San Director 2/128 With Two Domains - HP AE370A - Brocade 4Gb SAN Switch 4/12 Administrator's Manual

Configuring a new SAN Director 2/128 with two domains

By default, the SAN Director 2/128 is configured as one 128-port switch (one domain). The procedure
assumes that the new Director:
• Has been installed and connected to power, but is not yet attached to the fabric.
• Has been given an IP address, but is otherwise running factory defaults.
If this is not the case, back up the current configuration before starting, so that you can restore it later if
necessary.
• Is running Fabric OS v4.4.0 or later.
• Is running in configuration option one (one switch, FC2- 1 6 cards installed).
Use the following procedure to add a factory new SAN Director 2/128 to a fabric and configure it as two
64-port switches (two domains).
To add a new SAN Director 2/128 to a fabric and configure it
1. Connect to the switch and log in as admin.
2. Enter the chassisConfig command without options to verify that the switch is configured with one
domain. For example:
switch:admin> chassisconfig
Current Option: 1
3. Enter the chassisConfig command to configure two domains. Use the -f option to suppress
prompting for uploading the configuration. This command reboots the system.
switch:admin> chassisconfig -f 2
Current Option changed to 2
Restoring switch 0 configuration to factory defaults...
All account passwords have been successfully set to factory default.
Restoring switch 1 configuration to factory defaults...
All account passwords have been successfully set to factory default.
4. After the system reboots, log in again to the first logical switch (sw0) as admin.
5. Use the configure command to configure the sw0 to match your fabric specifications.
6. If the Director is to be merged into an existing fabric, do not configure zoning parameters; these will be
propagated automatically when you merge the Director into the fabric.
7. Log in to the second logical switch (sw1) as admin.
Use the configure command to configure the sw1 to match your fabric specifications.
8.
If the Director is to be merged into an existing fabric, do not configure zoning parameters; these will be
propagated automatically when you merge the Director into the fabric.
9. If the fabric is in secure mode, perform the following steps; otherwise, proceed to
a. Optionally, to configure sw0 and sw1 in one operation, connect them with an ISL link to form a
temporary fabric.
b. If you want sw0 and sw1 to be fabric configuration servers, update the overall fabric's FCS policy to
include them. If not, skip this step.
c. On sw0, enable security mode and use the secModeEnable command to create an FCS list that
matches your overall fabric's FCS policy.
d. Reset the version stamp on sw0.
e. If you connected sw0 and sw1 in
link between them. If you did not connect them, repeat
10. Optionally, connect the new two-domain SAN Director 2/128 Director to the fabric.
1 1. Enter the fabricShow command to verify that sw0 and sw1 have been merged with the fabric.
12. Enter the cfgShow command to verify that zoning parameters were propagated.
