1 Switch features The HP StorageWorks Edge Switch 2/24 provides dynamic switched connections between Fibre Channel servers and devices in a storage area network (SAN) environment. SANs introduce the concept of server-to-device networking and multi-switch fabrics, eliminate requirements for dedicated connections, and enable the enterprise to become data centric. A SAN provides speed, high capacity, and flexibility for the enterprise, and is primarily based upon Fibre Channel architecture.
The switch provides connectivity for devices manufactured by multiple original equipment manufacturers (OEMs). To determine if an OEM product can communicate through connections provided by the switch, or if communication restrictions apply, refer to the supporting publications for the product or contact your HP marketing representative.
Figure 2 shows the front panel controls, connectors and indicators. 3 4 1 2 5 6 1 Power LED (green) 4 Initial machine load (IML) button 2 Error LED (amber 5 SFP fiber optic connectors 3 Ethernet LAN connector 6 Port LEDs Figure 2 Edge Switch 2/24 front panel features Power and system error LEDs The Power LED, as shown in Figure 2, illuminates when the switch is connected to facility AC power and powered on.
Initial machine load button The IML/RESET button is shown in Figure 2 on page 15. When the IML/RESET button is pressed, held for three seconds, and released, the switch performs an initial machine load that reloads the firmware from FLASH memory. This operation is not disruptive to Fibre Channel traffic. If the button is held for more than three seconds, the ERR LED blinks at twice the unit beaconing rate. When the IML/RESET button is pressed and held for ten seconds, the switch performs a reset.
Rear panel features The switch provides a modular design that enables quick removal and replacement of field-replaceable power supply assemblies with internal cooling fans. Figure 3 illustrates the rear of the switch. 2 1 1 Power supplies with internal cooling fans (2) 2 Maintenance port Figure 3 Edge Switch 2/24 (rear view) Power supplies The switch contains two power supply assemblies with internal cooling fans.
Maintenance port The rear panel provides a 9-pin DSUB maintenance port, as shown in Figure 3 on page 17, that provides a connection for a local terminal or dial in connection for a remote terminal. Although the port is typically used by authorized maintenance personnel, operations personnel can use the port to configure switch network addresses.
Although a configured switch operates normally without HAFM appliance intervention, an attached server should operate at all times to monitor switch operation, log events and configuration changes, and report failures. The HAFM appliance provides an auto-detecting 10/100 Mbps LAN connection to the customer’s public intranet to allow access from remote user workstations.
• Sun Microsystems UltraSPARC II processor with a 400 MHz or greater clock speed, using the SunOS Version 7 or later operating system. • IBM Power3-II microprocessor with a 333 MHz or greater clock speed, using the AIX Version 4.3.3 or later operating system. • At least 150 MB for Windows-based system or 350 MB for UNIX-based systems available on the internal hard drive. • 512MB or greater RAM. • Video card supporting 256 colors at 800 x 600 pixel resolution. • Ethernet network adapter.
• An RS-232 maintenance port at the rear of the switch (port access is password-protected) that enables installation or service personnel to change the switch’s IP address, subnet mask, and gateway address. These parameters can also be changed through a Telnet session, access for which is provided through a local or remote PC with an Internet connection to the switch. • Data collection through the EWS interface or Element Manager of the HAFM applications to help isolate system problems.
Management Appliance The HAFM appliance and Element Manager provide a GUI to manage, monitor, and isolate problems for multiple switches and multiswitch fabrics. The server and client applications operate on the management appliance, and a user interface is provided through an Ethernet LAN-attached PC or workstation running client-only applications as shown in Figure 4.
• Master log—The master log at the lower left corner of the window displays a list of informational, warning, or fatal events. The log also includes the event source, type, description, time, and IP address of the device generating the event. • Utilization legend—The color-coded utilization legend explains percent utilization for links depicted on the physical map.
Software diagnostics The switch provides the following diagnostic software features that aid in fault isolation and repair of problems: • FRUs provide on-board diagnostic and monitoring circuits that continuously report FRU status to the EWS, and HAFM applications. These applications provide system alerts and logs that display failure and diagnostic information at the HAFM appliance or a remote workstation communicating with the HAFM appliance.

Domain ID The domain identification is a value from 1 through 31 that provides a unique identification for the switch in a fabric.
CAUTION: If a switch with a duplicate domain ID exists in the fabric, both switches' E_Ports will segment when they try to join. Rerouting delay Placing a check mark in the check box to the left of the Rerouting Delay option enables rerouting delay. This option is only applicable if the configured switch is in a multiswitch fabric. The default state is enabled. Enabling the rerouting delay ensures that frames are delivered in order through the fabric to their destination.
Configure fabric operating parameters Use procedures in this section to set parameters on the switch for fabric operation through the Configure Fabric Parameters dialog box. These operating parameters are stored in NV-RAM on the switch. The switch must be offline to change parameters in this dialog box. 1. Ensure that the switch is set offline. For instructions, see ”Set the switch offline” on page 44. CAUTION: Setting the switch offline terminates all Fibre Channel connections. 2.
Fabric parameters Configure the following parameters as required by your fabric. R_A_TOV Configure resource allocation time-out value (R_A_TOV) in tenth-of-a-second increments. This variable works with the error detect time-out value (E_D_TOV) variable to control the switch’s behavior when an error condition occurs. Resources are allocated to a circuit when errors are detected and are not released for reuse until the time set by the R_A_TOV value expires. The default value is 100 tenths (10 seconds).
At least one switch in a multiswitch fabric needs to be set as Principal or Default. If all of the switches are set to Never Principal, all of the interswitch links (ISLs) will segment. If all but one switch is set to Never Principal and the switch that was principal goes offline, then all of the other ISLs will segment. NOTE: HP recommends that you leave the switch priority setting as Default.

4 Manage firmware versions The Edge Switch 2/24 internal operating code is downloaded from the HAFM appliance and stored on a CTP card. Up to 32 versions can be stored on the HAFM appliance hard drive and made available for download to an Edge Switch.
Add a firmware version The firmware version shipped with the Edge Switch is provided on the Edge Switch 2/24 documentation CD. Subsequent firmware versions to upgrade the Edge Switch are provided to customers through the HP web site. NOTE: When adding a firmware version, follow procedural information in the release notes that accompany the firmware version. This information supplements information provided in this general procedure.
3. Select Maintenance > Firmware Library. The Firmware Library dialog box is displayed (Figure 47). Figure 47 Firmware Library dialog box 4. Click New. The New Firmware Version dialog box is displayed (Figure 48). Figure 48 New Firmware Version dialog box 5. Select the desired firmware version file (downloaded in step 1) from the HAFM appliance backup drive, CD-ROM drive, or hard drive. Verify that the correct directory path and filename display in the File name field and click Save.
Modify a firmware version description Use these steps to modify the description of an Edge Switch firmware version in the library stored on the HAFM appliance hard drive: 1. At the HAFM appliance, open the HAFM application. The Products View page is displayed. 2. Double-click the icon representing the Edge Switch for which the firmware version description will be modified. The Hardware View page for the selected Edge Switch is displayed. 3. Select Maintenance > Firmware Library.
Download a firmware version to a switch This procedure downloads a selected firmware version from the HAFM appliance library to an Edge Switch managed by the open instance of the Element Manager application. The procedure applies to an Edge switch with one CTP2 card, or a director with two (redundant) CTP2 cards. The process occurs concurrently without taking the Edge Switch offline or disrupting operation. The new firmware version takes effect when control is passed from the active to the backup CTP card.
6. Select the firmware version to be downloaded and click Send. The send function verifies existence of certain Edge Switch conditions before the download process begins. If an error occurs, a message is displayed indicating the problem must be fixed before firmware is downloaded. Conditions that terminate the process include: • A redundant CTP card failure. • The firmware version is being installed to the Edge Switch by another user. • The Edge Switch-to-HAFM appliance link is down.
Back up the configuration Use these steps to back up the configuration file on the HAFM appliance. 1. At the HAFM appliance, open the HAFM application. The Products View page is displayed. 2. At the SAN management application’s physical map, right-click the product icon representing the switch for which a configuration file is to be backed up, then select Element Manager from the pop-up menu. The application opens. 3. Select Maintenance > Backup & Restore Configuration.
