Step 7. Configure Fc Switch Settings For The Mpx200; Step 8. Cable The Mpx200 Fc, Ge, And Management Ports - HP StorageWorks MPX200 User Manual

Step 7. Configure FC switch settings for the MPX200

Execute the following commands for all B-series FC switches that will use the FCIP link:
• B-Switch# switchdisable
• B-Switch# iodset
• B-Switch#aptpolicy [1 or 3]
• B-Switch#portcfgislmode [ slot/ port ], 1 (Must be set for all MPX200 FCIP FC ports regardless
of storage types)
• B-Switch# portcfggport [ slot/ port ] ,1 (set for all MPX200 FCIP FC ports)
• B-Switch# switchenable
For C-series FC switches, execute the following commands for each VSAN that uses the FCIP link.
Enter one command per line.
• C-Switch# config
• C-Switch(config)# in-order-guarantee VSAN n (where n stands for all VSANs that use the
FCIP link)
• C-Switch(config)# vsan database
• C-Switch(config-vsan-db)# vsan n loadbalancing [src-dst-id or src-dst-ox-id]
• C-Switch(config-vsan-db)# exit
• C-Switch(config)# exit
• C-Switch# copy run start
NOTE:
For B-series, specify 1 for port-based routing (all XCS versions) or 3 for exchange-based routing
(XCS 09534000 or later).
For C-series, specify src-dst-id for port-based routing (all XCS versions) or src-dst-ox-id for ex-
change-based routing (XCS 09534000 or later).
For port-based routing, set the Continuous Access EVA data replication protocol to HP FC Data
Replication Protocol.
For exchange-based routing, use HP SCSI FC Compliant Data Replication Protocol.

Step 8. Cable the MPX200 FC, GE, and management ports

To cable the MPX200:
1. Connect the management port cable to your Ethernet network, which is accessible from the
management server.
2. Connect the cables to the GE1, GE2, FC1, and FC2 ports as shown in the suggested configurations
in Figure
142 MPX200 FCIP
