Connecting The San I/O Module To The Fabric - Brocade Communications Systems PowerEdge M420 Quick Start Manual

Connecting the SAN I/O Module to the fabric

NOTE
Refer to "Cabling guidelines"
Before beginning the following steps, determine whether the SAN I/O Module is in Access Gateway or Full Fabric
Switch mode. This affects the configuration process. Using the SAN I/O Module CLI, you can enter the ag ––
modeShow command to determine the current operating mode.
1. If the SAN I/O Module is in Full Fabric Switch mode, continue with
Gateway Mode, go on to
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 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.
The command prompts display sequentially. Enter a new value or press Enter to accept each 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.
