3 Managing the 8-Gb SAN Switches

The 8-Gb SAN Switches are designed for high availability and low failure; they do not require any
regular physical maintenance. They include diagnostic tests and field-replaceable units for the HP
StorageWorks 8/40 and 8/80 SAN Switches, the Encryption SAN Switch and the FCoE Converged

Network Switch.

This chapter describes the following topics:
• Configuring the Encryption SAN
• Interpreting LED
• Port side LED activity for the 8/80 SAN
• Nonport side LED activity for the 8/80 SAN
• Interpreting POST
• Maintaining the 8Gb SAN
• Installing Field-Replaceable Units
• Replacing the 8/40 SAN Switch power supply and fan
• 8/80 fan assembly
• Replacing an 8/80 SAN Switch or Encryption SAN Switch power
• SAN Switch management

Configuring the Encryption SAN Switch

NOTE:
See the Fabric OS Encryption Administrator's Guide for the procedures that configure the encryption
functions.
If the Encryption SAN Switch is being configured for the first time for encryption services, you must
perform the following pre-initialization tasks related to configuring the encryption node (switch):
• Generate the Critical Security Parameters (CSPs) and certificates
• Load and set up the certificates
• Establish a trusted link (SKM Appliance)
• Configure the global parameters and policies of the encryption group
• Generate and back up the master key in SKM environments
• Handle key-vault high-availability
• Configure cluster interconnect
After completing the pre-initialization tasks, you may need to perform several tasks related to configuring
the encryption group.
