Installation Instructions This quick start guide provides procedures for installing and configuring your new QLogic iSR6200 router. ■ . Verify the package contents. ■ Step 2. Complete the pre-installation checklist. ■ Step 3. Mount the router. Step 4. As needed, insert additional blade into router. Step 5. Install the small form factor pluggables (SFPs). Step 6. Apply power to the router. Step 7. Download and install SANsurfer® Router Manager (SANsurfer iSCSI/FC Router Manager). Step 8.
Step 2. Complete the Pre-Installation Checklist During the initial configuration process, the system prompts you to enter information for each blade contained in the iSR6200. Use the spaces provided in the following tables to record the IP addresses for each blade. Table 1.
Table 2. Worksheet for Router Blade 2 (right) Parameters (Continued) iSCSI port 3 IP address, subnet mask, and gateway for the optional (FC3, GE-3, or 10GE-3) port IP address of the iSNS server for iSCSI port 3 (if iSNS will be enabled) iSCSI port 4 IP address, subnet mask, and gateway for the optional (FC4, GE-4, or 10GE-4) port IP address of the iSNS server for iSCSI port 4 (if iSNS will be enabled) Step 3.
Step 6. Apply Power to the Router The iSR6200 router chassis contains one or two router blades, along with a power cooling module (PCM) for each blade. Each chassis blade provides light emitting diodes (LEDs) and connectors that face the front of the chassis. Each PCM provides a power connector, as well as an LED (see Figure 3).
The iSR6240 router blade (see Figure 5) adds two iSCSI Ethernet ports to the blade configuration. Each port has the following capacity: ❑ Auto negotiating transmission rates of 100 and 1000Mbps ❑ Full duplex transmission mode Support for jumbo frames (at 1000Mbps only) RJ45 copper Ethernet connector type iSCSI header and data digest in the hardware IPv4 and IPv6 protocol support iSCSI offload Activity Link Status Figure 5.
Step 7. Download and Install SANsurfer Router Manager Follow these steps to download the SANsurfer iSCSI/FC Router Manager tool from the QLogic Web site and install it on a workstation: 1. Close all programs currently running. 2. Go to the QLogic Downloads and Documentation page located here: 3. Under QLogic Products, type sansurfer router manager in the search box. http://driverdownloads.qlogic.

Running the iSCSI discovery session on different OS environments may vary. The following example illustrates how to run an iSCSI discovery session on a Windows Server. To run a discovery session on Windows Server: a. Install an iSCSI initiator on your server. This can be either a dedicated iSCSI adapter or a software initiator for Windows like the one available from www.microsoft.com. b. Invoke the software initiator, and then specify the IP address of the iSCSI port on your iSR6200. c.
Figure 9. Discovered iSCSI Initiators Information To assign a LUN to a server, run the Target Presentation/LUN Mapping Wizard. This wizard allows you to map a LUN to the iSCSI initiator on your server. b. On the Wizards menu, click Presentation Wizard. c. On the Target Selection window, click the box next to the LUNs you want to map, and then click Next. d. On the Select the Initiators for the LUN Presentation window (Figure 10), select the initiators for the LUN presentation, and then click Next.
f. To refresh the SANsurfer iSCSI/FC Router Manager display, click Refresh. Now, when you select your iSCSI initiator in the left pane of the SANsurfer iSCSI/FC Router Manager window, you should be able to see the LUNs mapped to that initiator on the LUN List page, as shown in Figure 11. Figure 11. LUN List Page g. To log on to this target, return to the Windows Server window, and then click LogOn. The status should change from Inactive to Connected. Step 10.
Using the CLI to Locate the Serial Number To find the serial number of your blade from the command line, follow these steps: 1. Telnet into the iSR6200, and then start the CLI. 2. Log in as guest; the default password is password. 3. Issue the show chassis command. 4. Under Blade x Information, locate and write down the serial number for each blade.

Figure 13 shows the labeling on a QLogic iSR6200 Series blade: Figure 13. Locating the Blade Serial Number on the Physical Blade Congratulations! You have now successfully installed your QLogic iSR6200, mapped target LUNs to an iSCSI initiator on your server, and determined the blade serial number. Your server should see the Fibre Channel LUNs through the server’s volume manager.
