CHAPTER 2 Managing Fabrics This chapter describes the following tasks that manage fabrics: ■ Fabric Services ■ Rediscovering a Fabric ■ Adding a New Switch to a Fabric ■ Replacing a Failed Switch ■ Event Browser ■ Device Information and Nicknames ■ Zoning Fabric Services Fabric services security includes SNMP and In-band management. Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is the protocol governing network management and monitoring of network devices.
you disable in-band management on a particular switch, you can no longer communicate with that switch by means other than a direct Ethernet or serial connection. Refer to Enabling In-band Management for more information. Enabling SNMP Configuration To enable SNMP configuration, do the following: 1. Open the Switch menu and select SNMP Properties to open the SNMP Properties dialog. 2. In the SNMP Configuration area, select the SNMP Enabled option. 3. Click the OK button to save the change to the database.
Adding a New Switch to a Fabric If there are no special conditions to be configured for the new switch, simply plug in the switch and the switch becomes functional with the default fabric configuration. The default fabric configuration settings are: ■ Fabric zoning is sent to the switch from the fabric. ■ All SFP ports will be GL_Ports. ■ All XPAK ports can be G_Ports or E_Ports. ■ The default IP address 10.0.0.
these are not restored by QuickTools. Refer to Archiving a Switch and Restoring a Switch for information about archive and restore. Use the following procedure to replace a failed switch for which an archive is available. 1. At the failed switch: a. Turn off the power and disconnect the AC cords. b. Note port locations and remove the interconnection cables and SFPs. c. Remove the failed switch. 2. At the replacement switch: a. Mount the switch in the location where the failed switch was removed. b.
Event Browser The Event Browser displays a list of events generated by the switches in the fabric and the QuickTools web applet. Events that are generated by the QuickTools web applet are not saved on the switch, but can be saved to a file during the QuickTools session. Entries in the Event Browser (EXAMPLE 2-1) are formatted by severity, time stamp, source, type, and description. The maximum number of entries allowed in the Event Browser is 10,000. The maximum number of entries allowed on a switch is 1200.
EXAMPLE 2-1 Events Browser 1 2 Figure Legend 1 Column Sorting Buttons 2 Severity Column Severity is indicated in the severity column using icons as described in TABLE 2-1. ‘ TABLE 2-1 Severity Icon Severity Levels Description Alarm — an alarm is a "serviceable event". This means that attention by the user or field service is required. Alarms are posted asynchronously to the screen and cannot be turned off.
Note – Events (Alarms, Critical, Warning, and Informative) generated by the web applet are not saved on the switch. They are permanently discarded when you close a QuickTools session, but you can save these events to a file on the workstation before you close QuickTools and read it later with a text editor or browser. Note – Events generated by the switch are stored on the switch, and will be retrieved when the web applet is restarted. Some alarms are configurable.
FIGURE 2-1 Filter Events Dialog Sorting the Event Browser Sorting the Event Browser allows you to display the events in alphanumeric order based on the event severity, timestamp, source, type, or description. Initially, the Event Browser is sorted in ascending order by timestamp. To sort the Event Browser, click the Severity, Timestamp, Source, Type, or Description column buttons. You can also open the Sort menu and select By Severity, By Timestamp, By Source, By Type, or By Description.
3. Select a folder and enter a file name in which to save the event log and click the Save button. The file can be saved in XML, CSV, or text format. XML files can be opened with an internet browser or text editor. CSV files can be opened with most spreadsheet applications. Device Information and Nicknames Devices are hosts and storage targets connected to the switch. A nickname is a userdefinable, meaningful name that can be used in place of the World Wide Name.
FIGURE 2-2 Devices Data Window TABLE 2-2 describes the entries in the Devices data window. TABLE 2-2 22 Devices Data Window Entries Entry Description Port WWN Port world wide name Nickname Device port nickname. To create a new nickname or edit an existing nickname, double-click the cell and enter a nickname in the Edit Nickname dialog. Refer to Managing Device Port Nicknames for more information.

Displaying Detailed Device Information In addition to the information that is available in the Devices data window, you can click the (i) in the Details column to open the Detailed Devices Display dialog (FIGURE 2-3) to display more information. FIGURE 2-3 Detailed Devices Display Dialog Managing Device Port Nicknames A nickname is a user-definable, meaningful name that can be used in place of the world wide name. You can assign a nickname to a world wide name of a device.
Note – Nicknames are stored on the switch with firmware 6.6 and later. However, with 5.x firmware, nicknames are stored in an XML file on the workstation. To use nicknames stored on a workstation with 5.x firmware, you must import the 5.x nicknames XML file and save the changes. The maximum number of nicknames allowed is 5000. Creating a Nickname To create a device port nickname, do the following: 1. Open the Fabric menu and select Nicknames to open the Nicknames dialog.
4. Click the Save button to save the changes. Deleting a Nickname To delete a device port nickname, do the following: 1. Open the Fabric menu and select Nicknames to open the Nicknames dialog. The device entries are listed in table format. 2. Choose one of the following: ■ Double-click in the device Nickname column to delete. Highlight the the nickname text and press the Delete key. ■ Click on a device entry in the table. Open the Edit menu and select Delete Nickname.
Zoning Zoning a fabric allows you to divide the ports and devices of the fabric into zones for more efficient and secure communication among functionally grouped nodes.
FIGURE 2-4 Active Zone Set Data Window 1 Figure Legend 1 Active Zone Set Data Window Configured Zonesets Data Window The Configured Zonesets data window (FIGURE 2-5) displays all zone sets, zones, aliases, and zone membership in the zoning database. To open the Configured Zonesets data window, click the Configured Zonesets tab below the data window. The Configured Zonesets data window uses display conventions for expanding and collapsing entries that are similar to the fabric tree.
FIGURE 2-5 Configured Zonesets Data Window 1 Figure Legend 1 Confgured Zonesets Data Window Zoning Concepts The following zoning concepts provide some context for the zoning tasks described in this section: 28 ■ Zones ■ Aliases ■ Zone Sets ■ Zoning Database ■ Configuring the Zoning Database Sun Storage Fibre Channel Switch 5802 QuickTools User Guide • September 2008
Zones Zoning divides the fabric for purposes of controlling discovery and inbound traffic. A zone is a named group of ports or devices. Members of the same zone can communicate with each other and transmit outside the zone, but cannot receive inbound traffic from outside the zone. A port/device can be a member of up to eight zones whose combined membership does not exceed 64.
Zone Sets A zone set is a named group of zones. A zone can be a member of more than one zone set. Each switch in the fabric maintains its own zoning database containing one or more zone sets. This zoning database resides in non-volatile or permanent memory and is therefore retained after a reset. Refer to Configured Zonesets Data Window for information about displaying the zoning database. Note – Zones that are currently not in a zone set are considered to be part of the “orphan zone set”.
■ MaxTotalMembers is 10,000. The maximum number of zone and alias members (10000) that can be stored in the switch’s zoning database. Each instance of a zone member or alias member counts toward this maximum. ■ MaxZonesInZoneSets is 2000. The maximum number of zone linkages to zonesets that can be configured on the switch. Every time a zone is added to a zoneset this constitutes a linkage. ■ MaxMembersPerZone is 2000. The maximum number of zone members that can be added to any zone on the switch.
Editing the Zoning Database Use the Edit Zoning dialog (FIGURE 2-6) to edit the zoning database for a particular switch. To open the Edit Zoning dialog, open the Zoning menu and select Edit Zoning. Changes can only be made to inactive zone sets, which are stored in flash (non-volatile) memory and retained after resetting a switch. FIGURE 2-6 Edit Zoning Dialog 1 2 Figure Legend 1 Zone Tree Sets 2 Port Device Sets To apply zoning to a fabric, choose a zone set and activate it.
Note – If the Merge Auto Save parameter is enabled on the Zoning Configuration dialog, then every time the active zone set changes, the switch will copy it into an inactive zone set stored on the switch. You can edit this copy of the active zone set stored on the switch, and activate the updated copy to conveniently apply the changes to the active zone set. The edited copy then becomes the active zone set.
TABLE 2-3 Button/Icon Edit Zoning Dialog Tool Bar Buttons and Icons (Continued) Description Add Member button — adds selected port/device to a zone Remove Member button — deletes the selected zone from a zone set, or delete the selected port/device from a zone Copy button — copies selected zoning items to clipboard. Paste button — pastes clipboard items to selected zoning item where applicable.
Capture Active Zoning The Capture Active Zoning option copies the active zone set to the configured zone set. Restore Configured Zoning The Restore Configured Zoning option reverts back to the previously saved configured zone set. Capture Merged Zoning The Capture Merged Zoning option saves the merged zone set into the configured zone set. View Merged/Configured Differences The View Merged/Configured Differences option opens a dialog to display the Merged and Configured zone sets in split panes.
FIGURE 2-7 Zoning Config Dialog Merge Auto Save The Merge Auto Save parameter determines whether changes to the active zone set that a switch receives from other switches in the fabric will be saved to the zoning database on that switch. Changes are saved when an updated zone set is activated. Zoning changes are always saved to temporary memory. However, if Merge Auto Save is enabled, the switch firmware saves changes to the active zone set in temporary memory and to the zoning database.
Saving the Zoning Database to a File You can save the zoning database to an XML file. You can later reload this zoning database on the same switch or another switch. To save a zoning database to a file, do the following: 1. Open the Zoning menu, and select Edit Zoning. 2. In the Edit Zoning dialog, open the File menu and select Save As. 3. In the Save dialog, enter a file name for the database file. 4. Click the Save button to save the zoning file.
Restoring the Default Zoning Database Restoring the default zoning clears the switch of all zoning definitions. Caution – This command will deactivate the active zone set. To restore the default zoning for a switch: 1. Open the Zoning menu and select Restore Default Zoning. 2. Click the OK button to confirm that you want to restore default zoning and save changes to the zoning database.
Creating a Zone Set To create a zone set, do the following: 1. Open the Zoning menu, and select Edit Zoning to open the Edit Zoning dialog. 2. Open the Edit menu, and select Create Zone Set to open the Create Zone Set dialog. 3. Enter a name for the zone set, and click the OK button. The new zone set name is displayed in the Zone Sets dialog. A zone set name must begin with a letter and be no longer than 64 characters. Valid characters are 0-9, A-Z, a-z, _, -, ^, and $. 4.
1. In the Zone Sets tree of the Edit Zoning dialog, click the zone set to be renamed. 2. Open the Edit menu and select Rename. 3. In the Rename Zone Set dialog, enter a new name for the zone set. 4. Click the OK button. Removing a Zone Set Removing a zone set from the database affects the member zones in the following ways. ■ Member zones that are members of other zone sets are not affected. ■ Zones that are currently not in a zone set are considered to be part of the “orphan zone set”.
Note – Changes that you make to the zoning database are limited to the managed switch and do not propagate to the rest of the fabric. To distribute changes to configured zone sets fabric wide, you must edit the zoning databases on the individual switches. Creating a Zone in a Zone Set To create a zone in a zone set, do the following: 1. Open the Zoning menu, and select Edit Zoning to open the Edit Zoning dialog. 2. Select a zone set. 3. Open the Edit menu and select Create a Zone. 4.
1. In the faceplate display, open the Zoning menu and select Edit Zoning to open the Edit Zoning dialog. 2. In the zone set tree, select the zone to copy and click the Copy button. 3. Select the destination zone set, and click the Paste button. 4. Click the Apply button to display the Save Zoning & Error Check dialog. 5. Click the Perform Error Check button to have the application check for zoning conflicts, such as empty zones, aliases, or zone sets. 6.
3. Click the Apply button to display the Save Zoning & Error Check dialog. 4. Click the Perform Error Check button to have the application check for zoning conflicts, such as empty zones, aliases, or zone sets. 5. Click the Save Zoning button to implement the changes. 6. Click the Close button to close the Error Check dialog. 7. On the Edit Zoning dialog, click the Close button to close the Edit Zoning dialog. Note – Domain ID conflicts can result in automatic reassignment of switch domain IDs.
Removing a Zone from a Zone Set To remove a zone from a zone set, do the following: 1. In the Edit Zoning dialog, select the zone to be removed. The selected zone will be removed from that zone set only. 2. Open the Edit menu and select Remove. 3. Click the Yes button in the Remove dialog to save the change. 4. Click the Apply button in the Edit Zoning dialog to save the change. 5. Click the Close button to close the Edit Zoning dialog.
Creating an Alias To create an alias, do the following: 1. Open the Zoning menu, and select Edit Zoning to open the Edit Zoning dialog. 2. Open the Edit menu, and select Create Alias to open the Create Alias dialog. 3. Enter a name for the alias, and click the OK button. The alias name is displayed in the Zone Sets dialog. An alias name must begin with a letter and be no longer than 64 characters. Valid characters are 0-9, A-Z, a-z, _, $, ^, and -. 4.
Removing an Alias from All Zones To remove an alias from all zones, do the following: 1. In the Zone Sets tree in the Edit Zoning dialog, select the alias to be removed. 2. Open the Edit menu, and select Delete Alias. 3. Click the Yes button in the Remove dialog to save the change. 4. Click the Apply button in the Edit Zoning dialog to save the change. 5. Click the Close button to close the Edit Zoning dialog.
Zone Merge Failure Recovery When a zone merge failure occurs, the conflict that caused the failure must be resolved. You can correct a failure due to a zone conflict by deactivating one of the active zone sets or by editing the conflicting zones so that their membership is the same. You can deactivate the active zone set on one fabric if the active zone set on the other fabric accurately defines your zoning needs. If not, you must edit the zone memberships, and reactivate the zone sets.

TABLE 3-1 Switch Data Window Entries (Continued) Entry Description User Login Group User Name Account name Login Level Authority level Super User Super user privileges enabled/disabled UserAuthentication Enabled Enforcement of account names and authority (always True) Firmware Group Firmware Version Active firmware version Inactive Firmware Version This field does not apply to this switch Pending Firmware Version Firmware version that will be activated at the next reset PROM/Flasher Versio
TABLE 3-1 Switch Data Window Entries (Continued) Entry Description CIM Enabled Common Interface Model status. The CIM agent is based on the SNIA Storage Management Initiative Specification (SMI-S), which is the standard for SAN management in a heterogeneous environment. FTP Enabled FTP status Management Server Enabled Management server status. SNMP Enabled SNMP enabled or disabled. Call Home Enabled Call Home status.
TABLE 3-1 Switch Data Window Entries (Continued) Entry Description Inactivity Timeout Number of minutes the switch waits before terminating an idle command line interface session. Zero (0) disables the time out threshold. In-band Enabled In-band management status. Permits (True) or prevents (False) a switch from being managed over an ISL.
The Images account is used to exchange files with the switch using FTP. The Images account can not be removed. Note – If the same user account exists on a switch and its RADIUS server, that user can login with either password, but the authority and account expiration will always come from the switch database. Creating User Accounts To create a user account on a switch, open the Switch menu and select User Accounts to open the User Account Administration dialog (FIGURE 3-3).
3. Enter an account name in the New Account Login field. Account names are limited to 15 characters. The first character must be alphanumeric. 4. If the account is to have the ability to modify switch configurations, select the Admin Authority Enabled option. 5. Enter a password in the New Password field and enter it again in the Verify Password field. A password must have a minimum of 8 characters and no more than 20. 6.
FIGURE 3-4 User Account Administration Dialog – Remove Account Changing a User Account Password To change the password for an account on a switch, open the Switch menu and select User Accounts. Click the Change Password tab in the User Account Administration dialog to present the display (FIGURE 3-5). Select the account (login) name from the list of accounts at the top of the dialog, then enter the old password, the new password, and verify the new password in the corresponding fields.
FIGURE 3-5 User Account Administration Dialog – Change Password Modifying a User Account To modify a user account on a switch, open the Switch menu and select User Accounts. Click the Modify Account tab in the User Account Administration dialog to present the display (FIGURE 3-6). Select the account (login) name from the list of accounts at the top of the dialog. Select the Admin Authority Enabled option to grant admin authority to the account name. Select an Account Expiration Date option.
FIGURE 3-6 User Account Administration Dialog – Modify Account Paging a Switch You can use the beacon feature to page a switch. The beacon feature causes all Logged-In LEDs to flash, making it easier to recognize. To page a switch, open the Switch menu in the faceplate display and select Toggle Beacon. To cancel the beacon, reselect Toggle Beacon.
Ethernet connection to an NTP server, but ensures the consistency of date and time stamps in alarms and log entries. When the date/time is set or displayed in the firmware, it is always in Universal Time. However, when displayed in the Date/Time dialog, the value is always in local time. If the NTP Client Enabled option is selected (default is un-selected), the Date and Time areas becomes inactive, thus preventing you from manually setting the date and time on the switch.
During a hotreset operation, fabric services will be unavailable for a short period (30-75 seconds depending on switch model). Verify all administrative changes to the fabric (if any) are complete before performing an Non-Disruptive Code Load and Activation (NDCLA). When upgrading firmware across a fabric using nondisruptive activation, upgrade one switch at a time and allow 75 seconds between switches. Caution – Changes to the fabric may disrupt the NDCLA process.
1. Select the switch to be reset in the fabric tree. 2. Open the Switch menu and select the Reset Switch: ■ Select Hot Reset to perform a hot reset. ■ Select Reset to perform a standard reset. ■ Select Hard Reset to perform a hard reset. Configuring a Switch Switch configuration is divided into three areas: chassis configuration, network configuration, and SNMP configuration. Chassis configuration specifies switch-wide Fibre Channel settings.
■ Open the faceplate display for the switch you be configuring. Open the Switch menu and select Switch Properties. ■ Right-click a switch graphic in the faceplate display, and select Switch Properties from the popup menu. FIGURE 3-7 Switch Properties Dialog Domain ID and Domain ID Lock The domain ID is a unique Fibre Channel identifier for the switch. The Fibre Channel address consists of the domain ID, port ID, and the Arbitrated Loop Physical Address (ALPA).
Note – Domain ID reassignment is not reflected in zoning that is defined by domain ID and port number pair. You must reconfigure zones that are affected by domain ID reassignment. Syslog The Syslog (Remote Logging) feature enables saving of the log information to a remote host that supports the syslog protocol. When enabled, the log entries are sent to the syslog host at the IP address that you specify in the Logging Host IP Address field.
TABLE 3-4 describes the administrative state values. TABLE 3-4 Switch Administrative States Parameter Description Online The switch is available. Offline The switch is unavailable. Diagnostics The switch is in diagnostics mode, is unavailable, and tests can then be run on all ports of the switch. Broadcast Support Broadcast is supported on the switch and allows for TCP/IP support.
Entry Limit field on the Switch Properties dialog to configure the maximum number of HBAs that can be registered with a switch. If the number of HBAs exceeds the maximum number, the FDMI information for those HBAs can not be registered. Use the FDMI Enabled option on the Switch Properties dialog to enable or disable FDMI. If FDMI is enabled on an HBA, the HBA forwards information about itself to the switch when the HBA logs into the switch.
■ R_A_TOV (Resource Allocation Timeout) — the maximum time a frame could be delayed and still be delivered. The default is 10000 milliseconds. ■ E_D_TOV (Error Detect Timeout) — the maximum round trip time that an operation between two N_Ports could require. The default is 2000 milliseconds. Note – Mismatched timeout values will disrupt the fabric. These should not be changed unless absolutely necessary. The switch is temporarily placed offline to change these values.
FIGURE 3-9 System Services Dialog Caution – Use caution when disabling the Embedded GUI, GUI Mgmt, and Telnet, as it is possible to disable all access to the switch except through a serial connection. ■ Embedded GUI (Graphical User Interface) — allows users to point a browser at the switch and use the QuickTools web applet. ■ GUI Mgmt — allows out-of-band management of the switch from the switch management application (GUI).
■ CIM (Common Interface Model) — allows management of the switch through third-party applications that use CIM. ■ FTP (File Transfer Protocol) — allows file transfers to the switch via FTP. FTP is required for out-of-band firmware uploads which will complete faster than inband Firmware uploads. ■ Management Server — allows management of the switch through third-party applications that use GS-3 Management Server.
FIGURE 3-10 Network Properties Dialogs Network IP Configuration The IP configuration identifies the switch on the Ethernet network, determines which network discovery method to use, and enables/disables the IPv4 and IPv6 network addressing. IPv4 and IPv6 Addressing The firmware supports the IPv4 and IPv6 address families. An IPv4 address is 32 bits, and consists of four blocks of decimal numbers, with each block separated by a period. Each block can have up to three numbers.
displayed in a block represents all zeroes for that block. An example of an IPv4 address is 255.255.255.0. All four blocks contain numbers. TABLE 3-5 describes the IPv4 and IPv6 configuration parameters. An IPv6 address allows for a much wider range of IP addresses assigned to a host than an IPv4 address. An IPv6 address is 128 bits, and consists of eight blocks of hexadecimal numbers, with each block separated by a colon. The maximum number of numerals in each block is four.
TABLE 3-5 Network Properties — IP Configuration (Continued) Parameter Description Network Discovery Choose one of the following methods by which to assign the IP address: • Static — uses the IP configuration parameters entered in the Network Properties dialog. • BootP — acquires the IP configuration from a BootP server. If no IP address is obtained, the switch reverts to the previously configured IP address. • RARP (Reverse Address Resolution Protocol) — acquires the IP address from a RARP server.
Network DNS Configuration The Network Properties dialog has two tabs: IP and DNS. Click the DNS tab to open the Network Properties DNS dialog (FIGURE 3-10). Use the Network Properties DNS dialog to enable the DNS Client on the switch and the DNS server to map domain names to IP addresses. TABLE 3-6 describes the DNS configuration parameters.
TABLE 3-6 Network Properties — DNS Configuration (Continued) Parameter Description DNS Search List Search List Discovery Choose one of the following methods by which to assign the IP address: • Static — uses the IP configuration parameters entered in the Network Properties dialog. • DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) — acquires the IP configuration from a DHCP server. If no satisfactory lease is obtained, the DHCP client attempts to use the previously configured lease.

Device Scan The Device Scan feature queries the connected device during login for FC-4 descriptor information. Disable this parameter only if the scan creates a conflict with the connected device.
FIGURE 4-5 Advanced Port Properties Dialog Resetting a Port The Reset Port option reinitializes the port using the saved configuration. To reset a port, do the following: 1. In the faceplate display, select the port(s) to be reset. 2. Open the Port menu and select Reset Port. 3. Click the Yes button to reset the selected port(s). Testing Ports You can test a port using the Port Diagnostics dialog. Only one port can be tested at a time for each type of test.
■ Internal — a disruptive test that verifies port circuitry. The SerDes level test sends a test frame from the ASIC through the SerDes chip and back to the ASIC for the selected ports. The port passes the test if the frame that was sent by the ASIC matches the test frame that was received. This test requires that the port be in diagnostics mode, and therefore, disrupts communication. ■ External — a disruptive test that verifies port circuitry.
3. In the Test Selection area, select test type (Internal, External, or Online). If you select the internal or external test, you will be prompted to confirm that the port state needs to be changed to the diagnostic state. Click the OK button and you will be prompted to change the port state. 4. Enter the frame count, frame size, and select a test pattern option. You may use the default pattern or enter an 8-digit pattern (hex).
