Task 2: Unpack, inspect, and install the Ethernet hub (optional)
•
Fabric and device connectivity are evaluated, and the related
planning worksheet is complete. Refer to the IBM Products in a
SAN Environment Planning Manual for information.
•
Support is available for one of the following switch management
methods:
— A browser-capable PC and Internet connectivity to support
switch management through the SANpilot interface, or
— A browser-capable PC and LAN segment connectivity to the
rack-mount management server to support switch
management through the SAN management application and
element manager applications.
•
Support equipment and personnel are available for the
installation.
•
The required number and type of fiber-optic jumper cables are
delivered and available. Ensure the cables are the correct length
with the required connectors.
•
A customer-supplied equipment rack and associated hardware
are available (optional).
•
Remote workstations or simple network management protocol
(SNMP) workstations are available (optional). Workstations are
customer-supplied and connected through a corporate or
dedicated LAN.
The SAN32M1 switch is managed through either:
•
An Internet connection to a browser-capable PC (SANpilot
interface). Connection of a LAN segment with multiple switches
to the Internet may require installation of the 24-port Ethernet
hub.
•
A 10/100 megabit per second (Mbps) LAN connection to both the
rack-mount management server and a browser-capable PC.
Connectivity may require installation of the 24-port Ethernet hub.
A combination of up to 48 IBM products can be configured and
managed on one network, therefore multiple, daisy-chained hubs
may be required to provide sufficient port connections.
