Connecting the SAN I/O Module to the Ethernet network

Once you have successfully set the appropriate IP address of the SAN I/O Module, you can
establish an Ethernet connection through the Chassis Management Controller (CMC) to a remote
management workstation for any additional configuration. The management workstation must be
on the same Ethernet subnet as the CMC.
NOTE
Ensure that the SAN I/O Module is not being modified from any other connection until configuration
is complete.

NOTE
Refer to
Before beginning the following steps, determine whether the SAN I/O Module is in Brocade Access
Gateway or Fabric OS Native mode. This affects the configuration process. Using the SAN I/O
Module CLI, enter the ag ––modeShow command to determine the current operating mode.
1. If the SAN I/O Module is in Fabric OS Native mode, continue with
2. Log onto the SAN I/O Module through a Telnet connection, using the admin account.
3. Modify the domain ID if required using SAN I/O Module CLI commands.

The default domain ID is 1. If the SAN I/O Module is not powered on until after it is connected
to the fabric and the default domain ID is already in use, the domain ID for the new SAN I/O
Module is automatically reset to a unique value. If the SAN I/O Module is connected to the
fabric after it has been powered on and the default domain ID is already in use, the fabric
segments.
To find the domain IDs that are currently in use, run the fabricShow command on another SAN
I/O Module or switch in the fabric. Identify an unused domain ID:
a. Disable the SAN I/O Module being configured using the switchDisable command.
b. Enter the configure command at the root prompt.
The command prompts display sequentially. Enter a new value at the Domain prompt or
press Enter to accept the default value. The SAN I/O Module now has a unique domain ID
and can join the fabric. Following is an example of command output.
