fabrics, the interoperability mode must be configured to InteropMode=0. Other B-Series or C-Series
switches in the remote fabric need not support NPIV.
NOTE:
StorageWorks 8/20q Fibre Channel Switch. If the remote fabric is connected to a port on the HP
StorageWorks 8/20q Fibre Channel Switch that is not a TR_Port, the two fabrics may establish an
E_Port connection and the local and remote fabrics may merge. This mixed fabric is not supported .
If the port type is changed to TR_Port after connecting the remote fabric, a port reset may be
required to completely establish the connection.
3. Map local devices to remote devices and activate the connection. The QuickTools mapping process
creates an inter-fabric zone (IFZ) in the active zone set consisting of the local device, the remote device,
and the TR_Port. When the mapping is complete, QuickTools activates the new zone set.
The name of the inter-fabric zone begins with IFZ followed by the lowest device port WWN followed by
the remaining port WWN, all uppercase, separated by underscores (_). For example, consider the
following local and remote device WWNs:
• Local device: 21:00:00:e0:8b:0e:d3:59
• Remote device: 22:00:00:04:cf:a8:7f:2d
The inter-fabric zone name would be:
IFZ_210000E08B0ED359_22000004CFA87F2D
4. Apply the same inter-fabric zone that was created on the local fabric to the active zoning on the remote
fabric. QuickTools creates a suggested list of commands during the mapping process that, when run on
a remote fabric consisting of HP StorageWorks B-Series or C-Series switches, will make the necessary
zoning changes to the remote fabric. See the HP StorageWorks 8/20q Fibre Channel Switch
QuickTools Switch Management User Guide for important details on creating and using this list of
suggested commands.When modifications to the active zoning on both fabrics are complete, the
transparent routing connection becomes active, and the local devices will discover the remote devices.

Switch services

You can configure your switch to suit the demands of your environment by enabling or disabling a variety
of switch services. Familiarize yourself with the following switch services and determine which ones you
need.
• Telnet: Provides for the management of the switch over a Telnet connection. Disabling this service is not
recommended. The default is enabled.
• Secure Shell (SSH): Provides for secure remote connections to the switch using SSH. Your workstation
must also use an SSH client. The default is disabled.
• GUI Management: Provides for out-of-band management of the switch with Simple SAN Connection
Manager, QuickTools, SNMP, and SMI-S. If this service is disabled, the switch can only be managed
inband or through the serial port. The default is enabled.
• Inband Management: Provides for the management of the switch over an inter-switch link using Simple
SAN Connection Manager, QuickTools, SNMP, or management server. If you disable inband
management, you can no longer communicate with that switch by means other than an Ethernet or
serial connection. The default is enabled.
• Secure Socket Layer (SSL): Provides for secure SSL connections for the QuickTools web applet and
SMI-S. This service must be enabled to authenticate users through a Remote Authentication Dial-in
Service (RADIUS) server. To enable secure SSL connections, you must first synchronize the date and time
on the switch and the workstation. Enabling SSL automatically creates a security certificate on the
switch. The default is disabled.
NOTE:
enabled, you will be unable to manage the switch using this version of Simple SAN Connection
Manager.

Be sure to configure the TR_Port before connecting the remote fabric to the HP
Simple SAN Connection Manager version 1.0 does not support the SSL service. If SSL is
