Quick Start Guide The QLogic® iSR6200 Series of intelligent Storage Router (iSR) provides servers with iSCSI connectivity to SAN-attached Fibre Channel based disk or tape storage. Suggested Configurations Figure 1 shows the iSR6200 connecting iSCSI servers to a direct-attached storage array.

Installation Instructions This quick start guide provides procedures for installing and configuring your new QLogic iSR6200 router. ■ Step 1. 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 pluggable (SFP) transceivers. ■ Step 6. Apply power to the router. ■ Step 7. Download and install SANsurfer® 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 Table 1 and Table 2 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 Router Manager tool from the QLogic Web site and install it on a workstation: 1. 2. Close all programs currently running. Go to the QLogic Downloads and Documentation page located here: http://driverdownloads.qlogic.com/ 3. Under QLogic Products, type iSR6200 in the search box. (Alternatively, you can click the Guided Search link to obtain assistance in locating the utility to download.) 4.

Connect to host lost. 3.
3. Create the iSCSI initiator list in iSR6200 using one of the following methods: ❑ Method 1: Enter the iSCSI initiator name using the SANsurfer Router Manager’s Add Initiator Wizard. The system prompts you to enter the iSCSI name of an initiator. ❑ Method 2: From the server with iSCSI initiators, run a discovery session for the iSCSI port IP address of the iSR6200. This automatically registers the iSCSI initiator names with the iSR6200.
The iSCSI initiator name appears under the Discovered iSCSI Initiators node in the router tree in the left pane, and details for the initiator appear on the Information page in the right pane (see Figure 9). 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. 12 b. On the Wizards menu, click LUN Presentation Wizard. c.
d. On the Select the Initiators for LUN Presentation window (Figure 10), select one or more initiators, and then click Next. Figure 10. Target Presentation/LUN Mapping Wizard: Selecting Initiators e. On the LUN Selection window, select one or more LUNs under the virtual port group node, and then click Next. f. On the Confirm Changes window, review the LUN presentation information, and then click Next. g. In the Security Check dialog box, type the admin password, and then click OK to continue.
h. On the LUN Masking Configuration Status window (Figure 11), review the results of the target ports presented for the selected initiators, and then click Finish. Figure 11. Target Presentation/LUN Mapping Wizard: Viewing Status 5. 14 Log into the iSCSI initiator. For example, if you are using the Microsoft iSCSI initiator, follow these steps: a. On the iSCSI Initiator Properties dialog box, click the Targets tab. b.
After the iSCSI initiator logs into the newly presented LUN, the iSCSI Initiator Properties Targets page (see Figure 12) shows the target status as Connected. Figure 12. iSCSI Initiator Properties: Target Connected Now, when you select your iSCSI initiator in the left pane of the SANsurfer Router Manager window, the Information page shows the status as Logged In. The LUN List page (Figure 13) shows the LUNs mapped to that initiator. Figure 13. LUN List Page Step 10.
Step 11. Configure an FCIP Route Fibre Channel over IP (FCIP)—a licensed feature of the iSR6200—is a protocol used to transport Fibre Channel frames over TCP/IP to provide SAN-over-WAN capabilities. FCIP is commonly used to interconnect (merge) SANs that are separated by such a distance that a direct connection is cost-prohibitive or technically unfeasible. For detailed information about configuring FCIP parameters, refer to the iSR6200 QLogic intelligent Storage Router (iSR) Installation Guide, chapter 5.
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.

Refer to the iSR6200 Router Manager User’s Guide for specific information regarding the management utility.
Finding the Serial Number on the Physical Blade The iSR6200 products have the serial number printed on the bottom of the blade. For a detailed procedure for removing the blade, refer to the iSR6200 QLogic intelligent Storage Router (iSR) Installation Guide, “Removal and Replacement” chapter. You can view the installation guide online at QLogic.com on the Downloads and Documentation page for your model number. Figure 15 shows the labeling on a QLogic iSR6200 Series blade. Figure 15.
