Setting up a meta-SAN with an MP Router
Use the following procedure to set up a meta-SAN with an MP Router:
1. Stop all FCR ports (see ”Starting and stopping a port” on page 51).
2. Connect the MP Routers to the edge fabrics and backbone fabric, if used.
3. Install or verify the Fibre Channel Routing Services license (see ”Verifying, installing, and removing
licenses” on page 34).
4. Configure EX_Ports (see ”Configuring a port” on page 46).
5. Optional: Configure the backbone fabric, if you are planning to have one (see “Configuring a
backbone fabric,” next).
6. Establish LSAN zones in the edge fabrics.
7. Start all MP Router ports (see ”Starting and stopping a port” on page 51).
Configuring a backbone fabric
Use this procedure to assign the fabric ID (FID) to a backbone fabric. The switch must be disabled first. If
you do not disable the switch (see ”Disabling an MP Router” on page 38), Advanced Web Tools disables
and then re-enables the switch.
NOTE: The fabric ID for a backbone fabric must be different from the fabric IDs of the edge fabrics.
