Configuring the MSA SAN Switch 2/8
36 MSA SAN Switch 2/8 Installation Guide
Completing MSA SAN Switch 2/8 Configuration
After connecting the cables and entering the IP address information, additional
parameters must be set. Some of these tasks include setting the system date and
time, setting up zoning information, and backing up the system configuration
settings.
Note: HP strongly recommends backing up the configuration. This ensures that a
complete configuration is available if required for a replacement switch. For instructions
on backing up the configuration, refer to the “Backing Up Configuration Data and
Upgrading Firmware” chapter.
These remaining configuration tasks are performed in either of the following user
interfaces:
■ Command Line Interface (CLI)
■ Web Tools
Each of these user interfaces is briefly discussed in “Managing the MSA SAN
Switch 2/8” and is discussed in detail in separate user guides.
The user guides for the CLI and Web Tools are available on the documentation
CD, included in the shipping carton with the switch.
Verifying Operation
After making the appropriate connections, as outlined in this chapter, use these
steps to verify that the switch is running properly.
1. Access your browser.
2. At the URL address window, enter
HTTP://your switch IP address
where your switch address is the IP address of your MSA SAN Switch.
3. If connected properly, the background of the switch panel displayed in the
browser window will be green, indicating Healthy/OK.
