Changing From Fabric Os Native To Access Gateway Mode - Fujitsu PRIMERGY BX900 Quick Start Manual

6. Check the LEDs to verify that all components are functional.
For information about LED patterns, see the Brocade 5450 Embedded Switch Module Hardware Reference
Manual.
7. Verify the correct operation of the Embedded Switch Module by typing the switchShow command from the
workstation.
This command provides information about Embedded Switch Module and port status.
8. Verify the correct operation of the Embedded Switch Module in the fabric by typing the fabricShow CLI command
from the workstation.
9. Back up the Embedded Switch Module configuration to an FTP server by typing the configUpload command and
following the prompts.
This command uploads the Embedded Switch Module configuration to the server, making it available for
downloading to a replacement Embedded Switch Module if necessary. Brocade recommends backing up the
configuration on a regular basis to ensure that a complete configuration is available for downloading to a
replacement Embedded Switch Module.
For specific instructions about how to back up the configuration, see the Fabric OS Administrator's Guide. The
switchShow, fabricShow, and configUpload commands are described in detail in the Fabric OS Command
Reference.

Changing from Fabric OS Native to Access Gateway mode

The Embedded Switch Module ships from the factory in Fabric OS Native mode. Converting to Access Gateway mode
allows you to use the module as a device management tool that transparently connects hosts to the fabric.
Before you change the Embedded Switch Module from Fabric OS Native mode to Access Gateway mode, note the
following points:
•
Determine if the Embedded Switch Module is running in Fabric OS Native mode by entering the switchShow CLI
command to display the current switch configuration. If running in Fabric OS Native mode, the switchMode
parameter should display Native.
•
Enabling Access Gateway mode is a disruptive process because the switch is disabled and rebooted. Once you
enable the Embedded Switch Module in Access Gateway mode, only a limited subset of Fabric OS commands
are available and all fabric-related service requests are forwarded to the fabric switches.
•
When you enable Access Gateway mode, some fabric information is erased, such as the zone and security
databases. To recover the information, save the switch configuration before enabling Access Gateway mode.
Configure your Embedded Switch Module to run in Access Gateway mode using the following instructions. You can
log into the Embedded Switch Module and enable Access Gateway mode using either Web Tools or the Embedded
Switch Module CLI.
NOTE
Refer to the Access Gateway Administrator's Guide for the latest information on configuring in Access Gateway mode.
