HP StorageWorks XPath OS 7.4.X Administrator Guide (AA-RVHDD-TE, February 2006)

22 Performing basic configuration
Disabling the Management Server feature (Fabric OS or Secure Fabric OS switch only)
1. Issue the secModeShow command to see whether the Secure Fabric OS feature is enabled:
• If it is disabled, go directly to step 3.
• If it is enabled, log in to the primary FCS switch with secure telnet (sectelnet) or secure shell (SSH),
and continue with step 2.
For details on sectelnet and SSH, see the HP StorageWorks Secure Fabric OS user guide.
2. Issue the secModeDisable command to disable the Secure Fabric OS feature on all switches in the
fabric; enter y at the prompt to confirm.
NOTE: The secModeDisable command disables security on all switches in the fabric, deleting both the
defined and active security databases.
3. Issue the msplMgmtDeactivate command and enter y when prompted to confirm.
This command can be used from any switch in the fabric.
You can confirm fabric connectivity by logging in to the MP Router as admin and issuing the fabricShow
command to display a summary of all the switches in the fabric:
Enabling the switch and ports
Use the switchEnable and portEnable commands.
Configuring a long-distance connection
Use the portCfgLongDistance command to allocate enough full-size frame buffers on a particular port
to support a long-distance link.
Table 4 lists ISL modes. Although the ports configure automatically, for best performance you should
configure each port connected by the ISL to the same distance level. When the connection is initiated, the
fabric reconfigures.
NOTE: If you are creating a long-distance ISL from the MP Router running XPath OS to a switch running
Fabric OS 4.4.x or 3.2.x, you must set VC translation link initialization to 0 on the Fabric OS switch. VC
translation link initialization is set to 1 by default in these Fabric OS versions, but it is not supported in
XPath OS. For details on setting this option to 0, see the HP StorageWorks XPath OS 7.4.x command
reference guide for the portCfgLongDistance command.
