Chapter 3. Implementing the INRANGE FC/9000 Fibre Channel Director 211
3.3.2 Connecting to an INRANGE fabric
A fabric is made up of one or multiple INRANGE directors and or switches which
are linked via Inter Switch Links (ISLs). Directors that are not linked via ISL are
considered as different fabrics.
Initially, the IN-VSN software is not aware of any fabric components at all, as
shown in Figure 3-29
Figure 3-29 IN-VSN fabric tool without any fabric known to it
To make a specific fabric known to the IN-VSN software, click Add. Then enter
all the required fabric information into the fabric details fields:
򐂰 We will call the fabric osvl_fc64.
򐂰 We do not give any description at this time.
򐂰 Our directors’ IP addresses are 9.113.20.67 and 9.113.20.89.
For each director in the fabric, you must use a dedicated row in the Director IP
Addresses field. In our case, we have one director, and therefore only one row.
After entering all fabric information, we clicked Accept as shown in Figure 3-30.
