Eclipse™ 2640 SAN Router Administration and Configuration Manual
Example Configuration and Procedures
3. Follow steps under Configuring the FC Ports for Router-Attached
Devices on page 3-4 to configure port 3 for connecting to the FC
server. Make sure to select FC-Auto under FC Port Parameters on
the FC/Ethernet Port Configuration dialog box.
4. Follow steps under Configuring R_Ports for mSANs on page 3-6 to
configure port 4 as an R_Port.
5. Make sure that the fabric timeout values E_D_TOV, R_A_TOV for
both the mSAN and the fabric match. Refer to
Configuring
Advanced FC Port Parameters on page 3-10.
6. Save the new configuration by choosing File>Save Configuration.
Reset the SAN Router by choosing File>Reset System for the new
configuration to take effect, if required.
7. Now that the R_Port configuration is complete, physically
connect the ports on the SAN Router and the FC switch together.
8. On the SANvergence Manager main screen, select the mSAN in the
mSANs pane where the SAN Router is located, then select mSAN
Configuration to display the mSAN Configuration screen. Confirm
that all the devices from the fabric are shown under the R_Port
(port 4 that has the icon).
9. Select Actions>Fabric Configuration to display the Fabric
Configuration window.
10. After you have established the physical connection, use the
Selective Import option in the SANvergence Manager to import
the devices from the FC switch into the mSNS. Importing the
devices make the SAN Router and the FC switch register the new
device information with their respective Name Servers. The FC
switch registers with its simple name server (SNS) and the SAN
Router with its metro storage name server (mSNS).
11. Select the R_Ports tab to set the Preferred Domain ID to a unique
Domain ID on the fabric.
If you are not using the default, set the interconnect mode for the
FC switch.
12. Create a zone using SANvergence Manager.
13. Add the server attached to port 3 and the devices attached to port
4 to the newly created zone, while making sure that you are
adding individual devices and not fabric ports into the zone.
14. Click Commit and save the configuration to flash when prompted.
