HP MPX200 FCIP Quick Start Instructions (5697-1997, June 2012)

Figure 8 Configuring the FCIP routes using the CLI
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 will use the FCIP link.
• 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: See the HP MPX200 Multifunction Router
User Guide for more information about switch
routing settings.
Step 8. Cable the MPX200 FC, GE and
management ports
Follow these steps 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 1, Figure 2, Figure 3, or Figure 4.
NOTE: Use a standard Cat 5e straight network
cable to connect MPX200 GE ports to an IP switch
port. Use a Cat 5e crossover network cable to
directly connect two MPX200s through their
respective GE ports without an IP switch.
Step 9. Verify FCIP links and firmware
version
1. To determine whether a firmware upgrade is
necessary, visit the SPOCK website at http://
www.hp.com/storage/spock. You must sign up for
an HP Passport to enable access. Upgrade
accordingly.
2. Use the CLI ping command to verify FCIP link
connectivity.
3. See the HP MPX200 Multifunction Router User
Guide for information on the wanlinktest
command that can be used to test the WAN link.
Requires version 3.4.0.0 or higher.
4. Verify that the FC switches have established an
interswitch link (ISL) over the FCIP link.
