Task 23: Connect Switch to a Fabric Element (Optional)
To provide fabric-attached Fibre channel connectivity for devices
connected to the Sphereon 4500 Switch, connect the switch to an
expansion port (E_Port) of a fabric element (switch or director). Any
switch can be used to form this ISL. To connect the Sphereon 4500
Switch to a fabric element and create an ISL:
1. Ensure the fabric element is accessible by the SANpilot interface
or defined to the SAN management application. If the fabric
element must be defined, refer to the appropriate switch or
director installation manual for instructions.
2. Ensure the preferred domain ID for the Sphereon 4500 Switch is
unique and does not conflict with the ID of another switch or
director participating in the fabric.
