Rack safety Rack installation DANGER Observe the following precautions when working on or around your IT rack system: v Heavy equipment—personal injury or equipment damage might result if mishandled. v Always lower the leveling pads on the rack cabinet. v Always install stabilizer brackets on the rack cabinet. v To avoid hazardous conditions due to uneven mechanical loading, always install the heaviest devices in the bottom of the rack cabinet. Always install servers and optional devices starting from the bottom of the rack cabinet. v Rack-mounted devices are not to be used as shelves or work spaces. Do not place objects on top of rack-mounted devices.

v Each rack cabinet might have more than one power cord. Be sure to disconnect all power cords in the rack cabinet when directed to disconnect power during servicing. v Connect all devices installed in a rack cabinet to power devices installed in the same rack cabinet. Do not plug a power cord from a device installed in one rack cabinet into a power device installed in a different rack cabinet. v An electrical outlet that is not correctly wired could place hazardous voltage on the metal parts of the system or the devices that attach to the system. It is the responsibility of the customer to ensure that the outlet is correctly wired and grounded to prevent an electrical shock.

(R001 part 1 of 2) CAUTION: v Do not install a unit in a rack where the internal rack ambient temperatures will exceed the manufacturer’s recommended ambient temperature for all your rack-mounted devices. v Do not install a unit in a rack where the air flow is compromised. Ensure that air flow is not blocked or reduced on any side, front, or back of a unit used for air flow through the unit. v Consideration should be given to the connection of the equipment to the supply circuit so that overloading of the circuits does not compromise the supply wiring or overcurrent protection. To provide the correct power connection to a rack, refer to the rating labels located on the equipment in the rack to determine the total power requirement of the supply circuit. v (For sliding drawers) Do not pull out or install any drawer or feature if the rack stabilizer brackets are not attached to the rack. Do not pull out more than one drawer at a time. The rack might become unstable if you pull out more than one drawer at a time. v (For fixed drawers) This drawer is a fixed drawer and must not be moved for servicing unless specified by the manufacturer. Attempting to move the drawer partially or completely out of the rack might cause the rack to become unstable or cause the drawer to fall out of the rack. (R001 part 2 of 2)

SAN80B-4 Installation, Service, and User Guide

Chapter 1. Introducing the SAN80B-4 switch The IBM System Storage SAN80B-4 is a high-performance 8 Gbps Fibre Channel switch designed for the needs of enterprise environments that require a high-port count footprint for port aggregation and a simplified management environment that comes by reducing the total number of domains to manage. With its high port count and Ports on Demand flexibility to grow port capacity as needed, the switch is an excellent solution for expansion from a director core, or as the core switch in a fabric. The switch runs on the Fabric Operating System (Fabric OS) and is compatible with other IBM switches, which enables seamless connectivity into heterogeneous SAN environments. This chapter provides the following information: v “Features and functions of the switch” v “Supported connectivity” on page 2 v “Port side of the switch” on page 2 v “Nonport side of the switch” on page 3 v “Additional port activation” on page 5 v “ISL Trunking groups” on page 5 v “Supported optional features” on page 6

Features and functions of the switch The switch provides the following features and functions: v 2U chassis–The chassis can be installed as a standalone unit or mounted in a standard Electronic Industries Association (EIA) 19 in. (48.26 cm) cabinet. v Two hot-swappable, redundant power supply field replaceable units (FRUs). v Three hot-swappable, fan assembly field replaceable units (FRUs). v On-demand scaling of forty-eight to eighty 8 Gbit/sec ports v ASIC technology supporting 1, 2, 4 and 8 Gbit/sec auto-sensing Fibre Channel ports. v Full 1:1 subscription on all 80 ports at 8Gbps. v Universal ports self-configure as E, F, M, or FL ports, and EX_Ports. EX_ports are activated on a per port basis with the optional Integrated Routing license. v A system motherboard with a 1.3GHz Reduced Instruction Set Computer (RISC) CPU with integrated peripherals providing high performance with low power consumption. v Enables interoperability between IBM System Storage b-type and m-type SAN switches and directors. v Inter-Switch-Link Trunking (licensable) enables up to eight ports (at 1G, 2G, 4G, or 8G speeds) between a pair of switches to be combined to form a single, logical ISL switch with a speed of up to 64 Gbits/sec (128 Gbits/sec full duplex) for optimal bandwidth utilization and load balancing. v Dynamic Path Selection (DPS) optimizes fabric-wide performance and load balancing by automatically routing data to the most efficient available path in the fabric. v Intelligent management and monitoring with Web Tools, Fabric Watch, and Performance Monitor. © Copyright IBM Corp. 2008, 2013

Attention: Use only transceivers that are supported for this product. Only transceivers purchased from IBM are supported. The use of transceivers that are not supported may cause data loss or cause the product to malfunction. For a listing of transceivers compatible with this product: v Go to the IBM Support Portal www.ibm.com/supportportal. v In the Search field, enter b-type supported transceiver. v Alternatively, use this direct link: http://www-01.ibm.com/support/ docview.wss?uid=ssg1S1004421.

Additional port activation The switch can be purchased with 48, 64, or 80 licensed ports. As your needs increase, you can activate unlicensed ports by purchasing and installing the additional 16 port activation feature. After it has been installed, the license appears under the licenseShow command as Ports on Demand license. The additional ports are ready to be unlocked in the switch firmware. The license might be part of the licensed paper pack supplied with switch software, or you can purchase the license separately from IBM, who will provide you with a key to unlock it. By default, ports 0 through 47 are enabled on the switch. To enable ports 48 through 63, install a Ports on Demand license key. To enable ports 64 through 79, install another Ports on Demand license. After you have installed the license keys, you must enable the ports. You can do so without disrupting switch operation by using the portEnable command on each port individually. Alternatively, you can disable and reenable the switch to activate all ports simultaneously. To install the additional port activation license, you can either use the supplied license key or generate a license key. Typically the switch is shipped with a paper pack that specifies the transaction key to use with the Software License Keys link. | | | | |

Use this transaction key at the IBM Support Portal, www.ibm.com/supportportal: v Search for the product Machine type or product name, and then follow links for Downloads. v On the Downloads tab, select License request. v Follow the instructions on the page that displays.

ISL Trunking groups The switch supports Interswitch Link (ISL) Trunking as a licensed feature. When this feature is enabled, you can create Trunked groups of up to 8 contiguous ports. This means that you can create up to ten trunked groups that contain 8 ports each. The Fibre Channel ports on the switch are numbered from left to right and color-coded into groups of eight to indicate which ports you can combine into trunked groups (see “Port numbering” on page 3). Note: ISL Trunking is optional software that allows you to create trunking groups of ISLs between adjacent switches. For more information about trunking, refer to the Fabric OS Administrator’s Guide.

Chapter 1. Introducing the SAN80B-4 switch

Supported optional features The switch supports the following optional software, which you can activate by purchasing the corresponding license key: v Extended Fabric–allows implementation of long distance dynamic (LD) and long distance static (LS) distance levels. This feature extends SAN fabrics beyond the Fibre Channel standard 10 km by optimizing the internal switch buffers to maintain performance on ISLs at distances up to 500 kilometers. v Advanced Performance Monitor–provides Performance Monitoring capability to help identify end-to-end bandwidth usage by host/target pairs and is designed to provide information for capacity planning. v Trunking Activation–designed to enable Fibre Channel packets to be efficiently distributed across multiple Inter-Switch connections (links) between two SAN b-type fabric switches, while preserving in-order delivery. ISL Trunking is supported between any of the supported 2, 4, or 8 Gbps b-type models. Both SAN b-type fabric switches must have ISL Trunking activated. v Adaptive Networking– provides a set of capability allowing high priority connections to obtain the bandwidth necessary for optimum performance, even in congested environments. v Integrated Routing–allows any port in the switch to be configured as an EX_port supporting Fibre Channel Routing (FCR). This eliminates the need to use the SAN18B-R for FCR purposes, and also provides double the bandwidth for each FC Router (FCR) connection when connected to another 8 Gbps capable port v FICON® w/ CUP–designed to provide in-band management of the supported SAN b-type switch, router, and director products by System Automation for z/OS® from IBM System z9® EC, z9 BC, and zSeries 990 and 900 servers. To enable in-band management on multiple switches and directors, each switch, router, or director must be configured with the appropriate FICON CUP feature. This support is designed to provide a single point of control for managing connectivity in active FICON I/O configurations. v Server Application Optimization (SAO)–designed to bring Quality of Service (QoS) enhancements for server consolidation and virtualization In addition, customers can order a set of optional features bundled into one orderable feature, the B80 Enterprise Package. This bundled feature consists of one of each of Trunking Activation, Advanced Performance Monitor, Adaptive Networking, and two 16-port activations. For more information on the use of these features, refer to the Fabric OS Administrator’s Guide.

The switch can be installed either as a free-standing unit, or installed in an EIA cabinet, using an optional slide-rail rack mount kit. When mounting into a slide-rail rack, you can mount the chassis to slide from either the port side or the nonport side.

Electrical considerations To install and operate the switch successfully, ensure that your site meets the following requirements. v The primary outlet is correctly wired, protected by a circuit breaker, and grounded in accordance with local electrical codes. v The supply circuit, line fusing, and wire size are adequate, as specified by the electrical rating on the switch nameplate. v The power supply standards provided in “Power supply specifications” on page 42 are met.

Environment considerations For successful installation and operation of the switch, ensure that the following environmental requirements are met: v At a minimum, adequate cooling requires that you install the switch with the nonport side, which contains the air intake vents, facing the cool-air aisle. v All equipment in the rack should force air in the same direction to avoid intaking exhaust air. v A minimum air flow of 47 cubic feet/minute (79.8 cubic meters/hour) available on the nonport side of the switch. v The ambient air temperature does not exceed 40° C (104° F) while the switch is operating.

Cabinet considerations Attention: See “Rack safety” on page xx for danger and caution notices related to product installations in racks or cabinets. For successful installation and operation of the switch in a cabinet, ensure that the following cabinet requirements are met: v The cabinet must be a standard EIA cabinet. v Plan a cabinet space that is 2 EIA units high, 48.3 cm (19 in.) wide. v Ground all equipment in the cabinet through a reliable branch circuit connection and maintain ground at all times. Do not rely on a secondary connection to a branch circuit, such as a power strip. v Ensure that airflow and temperature requirements are met on an ongoing basis, particularly if the switch is installed in a closed or multicabinet assembly. v Verify that the additional weight of the switch does not exceed the cabinet’s weight limits or unbalance the cabinet in any way. v Secure the cabinet to ensure stability in case of unexpected movement, such as an earthquake.

Installing a stand-alone switch To install the switch as a stand-alone unit, use the following procedure: 1. Unpack the switch and verify the items listed in “Items included with the switch” on page 7

SAN80B-4 Installation, Service, and User Guide

2. Apply the adhesive rubber feet. Applying the rubber feet onto the switch helps prevent the switch from sliding off the supporting surface. a. Clean the indentations at each corner of the bottom of the switch to ensure that they are free of dust or other debris that might lessen the adhesion of the feet. b. With the adhesive side against the chassis, place one rubber foot in each indentation and press into place. 3. Place the switch on a flat, sturdy surface. 4. Provide power to the switch as described in “Powering the switch on and off” on page 21. Attention: Do not connect the switch to the network until the IP address is correctly set. For instructions on how to set the IP address, see “Configuring the switch” on page 15.

Installing the switch into an EIA cabinet Attention: Although the switch has been designed for customer installation and replacement procedures, you must first ensure that the rack into which the switch is to be installed is also customer accessible. If it is not, then only trained personnel can install and service these switches in such a rack. Attention: Read the “Safety and environmental notices” on page xiv before attempting any installation or maintenance procedures.

Attention: Refer to “Rack safety” on page xx for danger and caution notices related to rack and cabinet installations. You can install the rack mount kit in either of two ways: v To allow the port side of the switch to slide out of the exhaust-air side of the cabinet. In this installation, the port side of the switch is flush with the edge of the cabinet. v To allow the non-port side of the switch to slide out the cool-air side of the cabinet. In this installation, the port side of the switch is set 7.62 cm (3 in.) back from the edge of the cabinet, allowing a more gradual bend in the fiber optic cables. Note: The illustrations in this section are for general guidance only. They may not match exactly the switch you are installing or the cabinet that you are installing it into.

Continue with initial setup of the switch by following the procedures in “Configuring the switch” on page 15. DANGER An electrical outlet that is not correctly wired could place hazardous voltage on metal parts of the system or the devices that attach to the system. It is the responsibility of the customer to ensure that the outlet is correctly wired and grounded to prevent an electrical shock. (D004)

Note: Do not connect the switch to the network until you perform one of the following steps: v Set the internet protocol (IP) address. v Verify that the default IP address does not conflict with the existing IP addresses in the same network.

Recommendations for cable management Attention: The minimum bend radius for a 50 micron cable is 51 mm (2 in.) under full tensile load and 30.5 mm (1.2 in.) with no tensile load.

14

SAN80B-4 Installation, Service, and User Guide

Cables can be organized and managed in a variety of ways: for example, using cable channels on the sides of the cabinet or patch panels to minimize cable management. Following is a list of recommendations: v Plan for rack space required for cable management before installing the switch. v Leave at least 1 meter (3.28 ft) of slack for each port cable. This provides room to remove and replace the switch, allows for inadvertent movement of the rack, and helps prevent the cables from being bent to less than the minimum bend radius. v If you are using Brocade ISL Trunking, consider grouping cables by trunking groups. The cables used in trunking groups must meet specific requirements, as described in the Fabric OS Administrator's Guide. v For easier maintenance, label the fiber optic cables and record the devices to which they are connected. v Keep LEDs visible by routing port cables and other cables away from the LEDs. v Use hook-and-loop fasteners to secure and organize fibre optic cables. Do not use tie wraps on fiber optic cables, because wraps are easily overtightened and can damage the optic fibers.

Configuring the switch You must configure the switch to ensure correct operation within a network and fabric. For instructions about how to configure the switch to operate in a fabric that contains switches from other vendors, refer to the Fabric OS Administrator's Guide. For more information about the commands used in this procedure, refer to the Fabric OS Command Reference. v “Using the EZSwitch setup (optional)” v “Providing power to the switch” v “Creating a serial connection” on page 16 v “Setting the switch IP address” on page 16 v “Setting the date and time” on page 17

Using the EZSwitch setup (optional) Once you have set up the switch in a rack or as a stand-alone switch, it is time to give it power and a basic configuration. If you are going to use the switch in a single-switch setup, you can use EZSwitchSetup to complete the basic configuration. See the EZSwitchSetup CD, included with the accessory kit for more information. You can also use the SAN80B-4 Quick Start Guide. If you do not want to use EZSwitch Setup, use the instructions in following sections.

Providing power to the switch To provide power to the switch: 1. Connect the power cords to both power supplies, and then to power sources on separate circuits to protect against AC failure. Ensure that the cords have a minimum service loop of 15 cm (6 in.) available and are routed to avoid stress. 2. Power on the power supplies by flipping both AC switches to the "|" symbol. The power supply LEDs will display amber until POST is complete, and then change to green. The switch usually requires from 1 to 3 min to boot and complete POST.

Chapter 2. Installing and configuring the switch

15

Note: Power is supplied to the switch as soon as the first power supply is connected and turned on. 3. After POST is complete, verify that the switch power and status LEDs on the left of the port side of the switch are green.

Creating a serial connection You will perform all basic configuration tasks in this guide using a serial connection. To create a serial connection to the switch, complete the following steps: 1. Connect the serial cable to the serial port on the switch and to an RS-232 serial port on the workstation. If the serial port on the workstation is RJ-45 instead of RS-232, remove the adapter on the end of the serial cable and insert the exposed RJ-45 connector into the RJ-45 serial port on the workstation. 2. Disable any serial communication programs running on the workstation. 3. Open a terminal emulator application (such as HyperTerminal on a PC, or TERM, TIP, or Kermit in a UNIX environment), and configure the application as follows: v In a Windows environment: Bits per second

9600

Databits

8

Parity

Flow control None v In a UNIX environment, type the following string at the prompt: tip /dev/ttyb -9600 If ttyb is already in use, use ttya instead and enter the following string at the prompt: tip /dev/ttya -9600

Setting the switch IP address You can configure the switch with a static IP address, or you can use a DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) server to set the IP address of the switch. DHCP is enabled by default. The switch supports both IPv4 and IPv6.

Using DHCP When using DHCP, the switch obtains its IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway address from the DHCP server. The DHCP client can only connect to the a DHCP server that is on the same subnet as the switch. If your DHCP server is not on the same subnet as the switch, use a static IP address.

Setting a static IP address 1. Log into the switch using the default password, which is password. 2. Use the ipaddrset command to set the Ethernet IP address. If you are going to use an IPv4 IP address, enter the IP address in dotted decimal notation as prompted. Ethernet IP Address: [192.168.74.102]

If you are going to use an IPv6 address, enter the network information in semicolon-separated notation as prompted.

Ethernet Subnetmask: [255.255.255.0] Ethernet IP Address: [192.168.74.102] Ethernet Subnetmask: [255.255.255.0] 4. Enter off to Disable DHCP when prompted. DHCP [OFF]: off

Setting the date and time The switch maintains the current date and time inside a battery-backed real-time clock (RTC) circuit. Date and time are used for logging events. Switch operation does not depend on the date and time; a switch with an incorrect date and time value still functions properly. However, because the date and time are used for logging, error detection, and troubleshooting, you should set them correctly.

Setting the date 1. If you are not already logged into the switch; do so now using the default password, which is password. 2. Enter the date command, using the following syntax: date "mmddHHMMyy" The values represent the following: v mm is the month; valid values are 01 through 12 v dd is the date; valid values are 01 through 31 v HH is the hour; valid values are 00 through 23 v MM is minutes; valid values are 00 through 59 v yy is the year; valid values are 00 through 99 (values greater than 69 are interpreted as 1970 through 1999, and values less than 70 are interpreted as 2000-2069) switch:admin> date Fri Sep 29 17:01:48 UTC 2007 switch:admin> date "0927123007" Thu Sep 27 12:30:00 UTC 2007 switch:admin>

Setting time zones You can set the time zone for a switch by name. You can specify the setting using country and city or time zone parameters. If the time zone is not set with the new options, the switch retains the offset time zone settings. The tsTimeZone command also includes an option to revert to the prior time zone format. For more information about the tstimezone [--old] option, see the Fabric OS Command Reference. You can set the time zone for a switch using the tsTimeZone command. The tsTimeZone command allows you to perform the following tasks: v Display all of the time zones supported in the firmware v Set the time zone based on a country and city combination or based on a time zone ID such as PST

Chapter 2. Installing and configuring the switch

17

The time zone setting has the following characteristics: v You can view the time zone settings. However, only those with administrative permissions can set the time zones. v The tsTimeZone setting automatically adjusts for Daylight Savings Time. v Changing the time zone on a switch updates the local time zone setup and is reflected in local time calculations. v By default, all switches are in the GMT time zone (0,0). If all switches in a fabric are in one time zone, it is possible for you to keep the time zone setup at the default setting. v System services that have already started will reflect the time zone changes only after the next reboot. v Time zone settings persist across failover for high availability. The following procedure describes how to set the time zone for a switch. You must perform the procedure on all switches for which the time zone must be set. However, you only need to set the time zone once on each switch, because the value is written to nonvolatile memory. 1. If you are not already logged into the switch; do so now using the default password, which is password. 2. Enter the tsTimeZone command as follows: switch:admin> tstimezone [--interactive]/ [, timezone_fmt] Use timezone_fmt to set the time zone by Country/City or by time zone ID, such as PST. The following example shows how to display the current time zone setup and how to change the time zone to US/Central. switch:admin> tstimezone Time Zone : US/Pacific switch:admin> tstimezone US/Central switch:admin> tstimezone Time Zone : US/Central The following procedure describes how to set the current time zone using interactive mode to Pacific Standard Time. 1. Type the tsTimeZone command as follows: switch:admin> tstimezone --interactive

2. You are prompted to select a general location. Please identify a location so that time zone rules can be set correctly.

3. Enter the appropriate number or Ctrl-D to quit. 4. At the prompt, select a country location. 5. At the prompt, enter the appropriate number to specify the time zone region or Ctrl-D to quit.

Synchronizing local time using NTP You can synchronize the local time of the principal or primary fabric configuration server (FCS) switch to a maximum of eight external network time protocol (NTP) servers. To keep the time in your SAN current, it is recommended that the principal or primary FCS switch has its time synchronized with at least one external NTP server. The other switches in the fabric will automatically take their time from the principal or primary FCS switch.

18

SAN80B-4 Installation, Service, and User Guide

All switches in the fabric maintain the current clock server value in non-volatile memory. By default, this value is the local clock server of the principal or primary FCS switch. Changes to the clock server value on the principal or primary FCS switch are propagated to all switches in the fabric. When a new switch enters the fabric, the time server daemon of the principal or primary FCS switch sends out the addresses of all existing clock servers and the time to the new switch. If a switch with FOS 5.3.0 or later has entered the fabric it will be able to store the list and the active servers; pre-5.3.0 Fabric OS switches will ignore the new list parameter in the payload and will update only the active server address. For more information on using an NTP server, and IPv6 considerations, see the Fabric OS Administrator’s Guide. 1. If you are not already logged into the switch; do so now using the default password, which is password. 2. Enter the tsClockServer command: switch:admin> tsclockserver ""

where ntp1 is the IP address or DNS name of the first NTP server, which the switch must be able to access. The second ntp2 is the second NTP server and is optional. The operand “” is optional; by default, this value is LOCL, which uses the local clock of the principal or primary switch as the clock server. The tsClockServer command accepts multiple server addresses in either IPv4, IPv6, or DNS name formats. When multiple NTP server addresses are passed, tsClockServer sets the first obtainable address as the active NTP server. The others will be stored as backup servers that can take over if the active NTP server fails. The principal or primary FCS switch synchronizes its time with the NTP server every 64 seconds. switch:admin> tsclockserver LOCL switch:admin> tsclockserver "132.163.135.131" switch:admin> tsclockserver 132.163.135.131 switch:admin> The following example shows how to set up more than one NTP server using a DNS name: switch:admin> tsclockserver "10.32.170.1;10.32.170.2;ntp.localdomain.net" Updating Clock Server configuration...done. Updated with the NTP servers Changes to the clock server value on the principal or primary FCS switch are propagated to all switches in the fabric.

“POST and boot specifications” on page 27 “Interpreting POST results” on page 28 “Customer field replaceable units (CRUs/FRUs)” on page 33 “Maintaining the switch” on page 28 “Managing the switch” on page 37

Powering the switch on and off See Chapter 2, “Installing and configuring the switch,” on page 7 for initial setup instructions before powering the switch on for the first time. Once the switch has been properly configured, follow these instructions to power the switch on and off. To power the switch on, connect one or both power cords to the power connectors on the power supplies and to a power source; then, set the AC power switches to "|". Power is supplied to the switch as soon as the first power supply is connected and powered on. The switch runs POST by default each time it is powered on; it requires a minimum of three minutes to boot and complete POST. To power the switch off, power off both power supplies by setting each AC power switch to "O". All devices are returned to their initial state the next time the switch is powered on.

Interpreting LED activity System activity and status can be determined through the activity of the LEDs on the switch. There are three possible LED states: no light, a steady light, and a flashing light. The steady lights and flashing lights can be green or amber. The LEDs flash either of these colors during boot, POST, or other diagnostic tests. This is normal and does not indicate a problem unless the LEDs do not indicate a healthy state after all boot processes and diagnostic tests are complete. The switch has the following LEDs: System power LED–One LED (green) to indicate system power System status LED–One LED (green/amber) to indicate system status Ethernet status LEDs–Two LEDs to indicate speed and link status Port status LEDs–80 LEDs (green/amber) to indicate status for each port Power supply status LEDs–Two LEDs (one for each power supply) to indicate power supply status (located on nonport side of switch) v Fan assembly status LEDs–Three LEDs (one for each fan assembly) to indicate fan assembly status (located on nonport side of switch) v v v v v

POST and boot specifications The switch performs POST by default each time it is powered on or rebooted or the system is reset. Boot time with POST is a minimum of three minutes. POST can be skipped after subsequent reboots by entering the fastBoot command. For more information about this command, refer to the Fabric OS Command Reference.

POST The success or failure results of the diagnostic tests that run during POST can be monitored through LED activity, the error log, or the command line interface. POST includes the following steps: 1. Preliminary POST diagnostics are run. 2. Operating system is initialized. 3. Hardware is initialized. 4. Diagnostic tests are run on several functions, including circuitry, port functionality, memory, statistics counters, and serialization.

Boot In addition to POST, boot includes the following steps after POST is complete: 1. Universal port configuration is performed.

Chapter 3. Operating the switch

27

2. Links are initialized. 3. Fabric is analyzed, and if any ports are connected to other switches, the switch participates in a fabric configuration. 4. Switch obtains a domain ID and assigns port addresses. 5. Unicast routing tables are constructed. 6. Normal port operation is enabled.

Interpreting POST results POST is a system check that is performed each time the switch is powered on, rebooted, or reset, and during which the LEDs flash amber and green. Any errors that occur during POST are listed in the error log. To determine whether POST completed successfully and whether any errors were detected: 1. Verify that the LEDs on the switch indicate that all components are healthy (see the tables in “Port side LED patterns” on page 23 and “Power supply and fan assembly status LED patterns” on page 25). If one or more LEDs do not display a healthy state: a. Verify that the LEDs are not set to "beacon" (this can be determined through the switchShow command or Web Tools). For information about how to turn beaconing on and off, refer to the Fabric OS Administrator’s Guide or the Web Tools Administrator’s Guide. b. Follow the recommended action for the observed LED behavior, as listed in the tables in “Port side LED patterns” on page 23 and “Power supply and fan assembly status LED patterns” on page 25. 2. Verify that diagShow command displays that the diagnostic status for all ports in the switch is OK. 3. Review the switch system log for errors. Any errors detected during POST are written to the system log, which is accessible through the errShow command. For information about this command, refer to the Fabric OS Command Reference. For information about error messages, refer to the Fabric OS Message Reference.

Maintaining the switch The switch is designed for high availability and low failure; it does not require any regular physical maintenance. It includes diagnostic tests and field-replaceable units, described in the following sections. To help prevent failure of the switch due to distress or abuse, ensure that the environmental conditions, described in “Environment considerations” on page 8, are met. Other maintenance includes diagnostic tests and field-replaceable units, described in the following sections.

Installing SFPs The switch only supports Brocade-branded SFPs. If you use an unqualified SFP, the switchShow command output will show the port in an Mod_Inv state. Fabric OS will also log the issue in the system error log.

Attention: With increasing speeds of optical connections, the cleanliness of the connections assumes greater importance in ensuring maximum performance and error free transmission. Due to the tighter tolerances associated with state of the art optics, levels of contamination that were acceptable at lower speeds may not be at higher speeds. While IEC Standard 61300-3-35 specifies a set of guidelines for trouble free performance, most issues can be avoided by adhering to the following best practices: v When cables or connectors are not in use for extended periods of time, use the dust covers provided. v Ensure that the cable length and type that is used are suitable for the speed and application. v Inspect and clean optical connections and fiber cables before you connect or reconnect components.

|

v Ensure that cables are properly seated within the connector.

| |

Kits are commercially available for cleaning and inspecting these connections. IBM also offers services that will ensure optimal condition of the network.

|

Follow these instructions to install an SFP: 1. Remove the plugs from the ports to be used.

|

2. Ensure that both cable and transceiver are clean prior to installation. 3. Making sure that the bail (wire handle)B is in the unlocked position, place the SFP in the correctly oriented position on the port, as shown in Figure 11 on page 30 Note: Each SFP has a 10-pad gold-plated PCB-edge connector on the bottom. The correct position to insert an SFP into the upper row of ports is with the gold edge down. The correct position to insert an SFP into the lower row of ports is with the gold edge up. 4. Slide the SFP into the port until you feel it click into place; then close the bail.

Testing a port, SFP, and fiber cable The PortLoopbackTest command is used to verify the functional operation of the switch by sending frames from the port "N" transmitter and looping them back into the same port "N" receiver. The loopback is done at the parallel loopback path. The path exercised in this test does not include the media or the fiber cable. However if data transmission errors indicate that a port, SFP or cable are faulty, you can use this command to determine whether the port is faulty. You can use those results to isolate the problem to either the port or the SFP and cable combination. If a port is faulty, the switch will need to be replaced. If the port is not faulty, the problem is either with the SFP or the cable. With this command, only one frame is transmitted and received at a time. No external cable is required to run this test. The port LEDs flicker rapidly (green) while the test is running. The 1. 2. 3. 4. 5.

test performs the following operations: Sets all ports for parallel loopback. Creates a frame F of maximum data size (2,112 bytes). Transmits the frame F through port "N". Picks up the frame from the same port "N". Checks the eight statistic error counters for nonzero values: ENC_in, CRC_err, TruncFrm, FrmTooLong, BadEOF, Enc_out, BadOrdSet, DiscC3

6. Checks whether the transmit, receive, or class 3 receiver counters are stuck at some value. 7. Checks whether the number of frames transmitted is not equal to the number of frames received. 8. Repeats Steps 2 through 7 for all ports until one of the following conditions are met: a. The number of frames (or passcount) requested is reached. b. All ports are marked bad. At each pass, the frame is created from a different data type. If seven passes are requested, seven different data types are used in the test. If eight passes are requested, the first seven frames use unique data types, and the eighth is the same as the first. The seven data types are: CSPAT: 0x7e, 0x7e, 0x7e, 0x7e, ... BYTE_LFSR: 0x69, 0x01, 0x02, 0x05, ... CHALF_SQ: 0x4a, 0x4a, 0x4a, 0x4a, ... QUAD_NOT: 0x00, 0xff, 0x00, 0xff, ... CQTR_SQ: 0x78, 0x78, 0x78, 0x78, ... CRPAT: 0xbc, 0xbc, 0x23, 0x47, ... RANDOM: 0x25, 0x7f, 0x6e, 0x9a, .... 9. If the test indicates that all ports are good, the problem is associated with either the cable or SFP. 10. Replace the SFP with an SFP known to be good. 11. Simulate the data transmission scenario when the error occurred. If the error does not reappear, the original SFP was defective, and should be discarded. If the error does reappear, the cable is defective. Replace the cable and discard the original cable.

32

SAN80B-4 Installation, Service, and User Guide

12. Simulate the data transmission scenario again to verify that the problem does not reappear.

Diagnostic tests In addition to POST, Fabric OS includes diagnostic tests to help you troubleshoot the hardware and firmware. This includes tests of internal connections and circuitry, fixed media, and the transceivers and cables in use. The tests are implemented by command, either through a telnet session or through a console set up to the serial connection to the switch. Some tests require the ports to be connected by external cables, to allow diagnostics to verify the serializer/deserializer interface, transceiver, and cable. Some tests require loopback plugs. Diagnostic tests run at link speeds of 1, 2, 4 and 8-Gbps. Diagnostic tests might temporarily lock the transmit and receive speed of the links during diagnostic testing. For information about specific diagnostic tests, see the Fabric OS Command Reference. Attention: Diagnostic tests can temporarily lock the transmit and receive speed of the links during diagnostic testing. For information about specific diagnostic tests, refer to the Fabric OS Administrator’s Guide.

Customer field replaceable units (CRUs/FRUs) In addition to the SFPs, the only customer field replaceable units (CRUs/FRUs) are the power supplies and the fan assemblies. You can replace the power supplies and fan assemblies on site without the use of special tools. The power supplies and fan assemblies are keyed to ensure correct orientation during installation. Installation instructions are provided with all replacement units. Attention: Disassembling any part of the power supply or fan assembly units voids the warranty and regulatory certifications. There are no user-serviceable parts inside either the power supplies or the fan assemblies. Because the cooling system relies on pressurized air, do not leave any of the power supply or fan assembly slots empty longer than two minutes while the switch is operating. If any FRU fails, leave it in the switch until it can be replaced. These power supplies and /fan assemblies are redundant, but should be replaced as soon as possible to avoid any system shutdown or data loss. Refer to Table 8 on page 26 for interpreting the power supply and fan assembly LEDs and recommended actions before replacing the FRU.

Power supplies The two power supplies are hot-swappable. They are identical and fit into either power supply slot. Fabric OS identifies the power supplies as follows (viewing the switch from the nonport side): power supply #1 is on the right, power supply #2 is on the left. Use any of the following methods to determine if you need to replace a power supply:

Fan assemblies The three fan assemblies are hot-swappable. They are identical and fit into any of the fan assembly slots. Each fan assembly contains two fans, which means that there are a total of six fans to provide cooling to the switch. In the event of failure of a single fan assembly, the switch will automatically adjust the fan speed of the remaining functional fan assemblies to provide sufficient cooling for continued normal operation of the switch. However, any failed fan assembly should be replaced as soon as possible to avoid any system shutdown or data loss in the event of a second fan assembly failure. The fan assemblies are identified by Fabric OS as follows (viewing the switch from the nonport side): Fan assembly #1 is on the right, Fan assembly #2 is in the center, and Fan assembly #3 is on the left. Attention: Disassembling any part of the fan assembly units voids the warranty and regulatory certifications. There are no user-serviceable parts inside the fan assemblies. Because the cooling system relies on pressurized air, do not leave any of the fan assembly slots empty longer than two minutes while the switch is operating. If any fan assembly fails, leave it in the switch until it can be replaced. Maintain all three fan assemblies in operational condition to provide redundancy. Use any of the following methods to determine if you need to replace a fan assembly: v Check the fan status LED (see 4 in Figure 14 on page 36 and refer to “Power supply and fan assembly status LED patterns” on page 25). If the fan status LED is dark or steady amber, it could mean the fan has failed. v In Web Tools, check the Fan Status icon background color. It will be either yellow or red if the fan has failed. When the fan is functioning correctly, the background color is green. v Enter the fanShow command at the command prompt to display fan status as shown below: switch:admin> fanshow Fan 1 is Ok, speed is 4821 RPM Fan 2 is Ok, speed is 4821 RPM Fan 3 is Ok, speed is 4891 RPM switch:admin>

Time required Replacing a fan assembly should take less than two minutes.

Fibre Channel port specifications The Fibre Channel ports in the switch are compatible with SWL, LWL, and ELWL SFPs. The strength of the signal is determined by the type of SFP in use. The ports are capable of operating at 1, 2, 4 and 8 Gbps, and are able to autonegotiate to the maximum link speed. The ports meet all required safety standards.

Appendix A. Product specifications

Serial port specifications The serial port is located on the port side of the switch using an RJ-45 connector. The serial port can be used to connect to a workstation to configure the switch IP address before connecting the switch to a fabric or IP network. The serial port’s parameters are fixed at 9600 baud, 8 data bits, and no parity, with flow control set to None. This connector is for initial IP address configuration and for recovery of the switch to its factory default settings if Flash memory contents are lost. The serial port is not intended for performance of normal administration or maintenance functions. You should only use this port to connect a terminal to the port to re-initialize the switch defaults, restoring the switch to its factory configuration. This is required to restore switch passwords to a known state and allow you to assign an IP address to the switch. Table 15 lists the serial cable pinouts. Table 15. Serial cable pinouts PIN

Appendix B. Link troubleshooting

| | | | | | | |

IBM SAN b-type directors and switches use the latest high bandwidth Fibre Channel technology and auto-negotiate to 16 Gbps, 8 Gbps, 4 Gbps, or 2 Gbps based on the link data rate capability of the attached transceiver and the speed supported by the switches and directors. Negotiation to 1 Gbps is not supported unless 4 Gbps FC transceivers are used. As the 8 and 16 Gbps channel is more sensitive to the condition of the existing multimode and single mode cable plant, it is very important to minimize connector reflections and maintain an acceptable link loss budget.

| | |

This section provides link troubleshooting advice on fault isolation and provides guidance in the following areas: v Dust and dirt contamination v Link loss

| | | | | | | | | |

v Attenuation on LWL connections

Fault isolation Since a job loss issue can be caused by a variety of problems, it is important to employ a systematic fault isolation process to remedy the issue. Note that job losses do not necessarily result from link errors. They may also be due to: v Configuration issues v Networking overload v Failures on storage device, switch, or server

| | |

Assume for these procedures that the observed errors originate from link errors and are not the result of configuration issues, network overload or network equipment failures.

| | | |

Whenever CRC errors are discovered on a particular link, it is easy to jump to the conclusion that the link is causing the network issue. This might not be the case. Since CRC errors are just symptoms of a link issue, we need to trace the propagated error to where it originated.

| | | | | |

Figure 15 shows a simplified network involving a server, a switch, and a storage device. In this example, assume that the server experienced an error at port 1. This observable error can potentially originate from links 1, 2, 3, or 4 and/or SFP 1, 2, 3, or 4.

| |

is discovered in this example that CRC errors observed in link 4 were propagated from link 3, which in turn originated from link 2.

| | | | |

Once the original failing link (link 2) has been determined, the two connecting ports of that link need to be checked for the following errors: v Encoder errors v Disparity errors v Invalid transmission words

| | |

The port that displays any of the above errors is the cause of the link issue, which can be caused by dust or dirt in the connectors or fiber, an insufficient link loss budget, and/or incompatible SFPs.

| |

Dust, dirt, or other contaminants

| | |

One of the most common optical link problems is caused by dust, dirt, or oil in the connectors and fiber. 8 and 16 Gbps links are more prone to such issues while lower link data rates, such as 1, 2, or 4 Gbps may be unaffected.

| | | |

Once the failing port has been identified by following the above fault isolation process, the receive power of the transceiver sitting in that port needs to be determined. An abnormally low receive power usually means that the physical link is dirty.

| | | | |

The receive power can be checked by querying the SFP diagnostics data via the command line interface. This information will provide a rough gauge whether the receive power is abnormally lower than the minimum receive specification of the transceiver. It is also prudent to compare this receive power with those of neighboring transceivers.

| | | | |

For better accuracy, it is advisable to use a power meter to measure the actual receive power of the link. If you are experiencing excessive bit errors and the receive power of the transceiver is abnormally low, it is recommended that you: v Re-seat the transceivers for the failing link v Clean the connector and optical fiber

|

Most link issues are solved by completing these steps.

| |

Best practices for minimizing link loss

| | |

The "link margin" or the "power budget" of the link is a measure of signal power gain or loss expressed in decibels (dB). Maintaining a healthy link budget is critical to establishing a reliable and stable network.

| | |

Follow these best practices for minimizing link loss: v Stay well within the maximum cable distance calculated for the link. v Apply typical or worst-case values during loss calculations. v Use the highest grade cabling components for the application to be supported. v Match the cable type with the wavelength, bandwidth, and distance to be supported; do not mix cable types within a link. v Inspect loss ratings of all cabling components during the selection process. v Record loss measurements for horizontal and vertical cable runs during installation.

| | | | | |

46

SAN80B-4 Installation, Service, and User Guide

| | | | | | | |

v Become familiar with how to quickly determine the link budget and link loss of selected sections of the cabling. v Account for power loss associated with future repairs and expansion. v Do not stress the cables. v Prototype a link with anticipated maximum cable distance and selected components—and then take measurements to calculate the actual link loss

Attenuation on LWL connections

| | | | |

In the datacenter environment, there may be 8 Gbps or 4 Gbps LWL transceivers that are connected to 2 Gbps LWL transceivers using single-mode fiber over short distances. Such connections need to be optically engineered because there is a possibility that the transmit power of the 8 Gbps / 4 Gbps LWL transceivers may saturate the receiver of 2 Gbps LWL transceivers and cause CRC errors.

| |

Attention: This discussion does not apply to 16 Gbps transceivers since connections between 16 Gbps and 2 Gbps transceivers is not supported.

| | | |

Refer to Table 18 for the typical specifications of maximum transmit and receive power of LWL transceivers. This information is also available in the information technology industry standard "Fibre Channel – Physical Interface-4 (FC-PI-4)" document.

The maximum receive power specifications of some 2 Gbps LWL 10km transceivers can vary from 0dB to -3dB. However, most 2 Gbps 10km transceivers specify a maximum receive power of 0dB.

| |

It is important to check the maximum receive power of the 2 Gbps LWL transceiver in the manufacturer's datasheet.

| | | | | | |

Without taking into account connector and fiber losses, the transmit power of 8 Gbps / 4 Gbps LWL transceivers may be observed to overdrive the -3dB maximum receive power of 2 Gbps LWL transceivers. If the maximum receive power of the 2 Gbps LWL transceiver is 0dB, a 4 Gbps LWL transceiver with a -1dB transmit power will not overdrive the 2 Gbps transceiver. Although some 8 Gbps LWL transceivers may reduce their transmit power to 4 Gbps levels, this may still overdrive a 2 Gbps LWL transceiver.

| | | | | | | | |

Best Practice for LWL connections – Optically engineer a long-distance connection It is always a good practice to optically engineer a long-distance connection. Most link issues caused by SFP incompatibility can be solved either by use of 4 Gbps LWL transceivers or use of 8 Gbps LWL transceivers that employ rate select.

2G LWL SFP maximum receive power The IBM SAN b-type 8 Gbps and 16 Gbps directors and switches use the latest high bandwidth Fibre Channel technology and auto-negotiate to 16 Gbps, 8 Gbps, 4 Gbps, or 2 Gbps based on the link data rate capability of the attached transceiver. Appendix B. Link troubleshooting

47

| | | | | | |

Negotiation to 1 Gbps is not supported. Since 8 and 16 Gbps equipment is more sensitive, the existing cable plant may require additional attention to cable care after upgrading from 2 or 4 Gbps fibre. In a few cases, the Tx power of the switch can be higher than the connected equipment. In nearly all of those cases, there is enough attenuation in the existing cable plant so as not to require additional attenuation. The common 2 Gbps SFP Rx maximum power levels are listed in Table 19 and can be used as a quick method to relieve concerns of over saturation.
