EZSwitchSetup software and hardware requirements  
1
NOTE  
Although your switch may have advanced capabilities, EZSwitchSetup is for a single-switch fabric  
with FC ports only. To configure and manage other features on your switch, use the command line  
interface, Web Tools, or Brocade Network Advisor.  
EZSwitchSetup software and hardware requirements  
You can run EZSwitchSetup on a SAN host computer or you can use a different computer that is not  
part of the SAN, such as a laptop.  
EZSwitchSetup requires a browser that conforms to HTML version 4.0 and JavaScript version 1.0.  
The EZSwitchSetup installation CD automatically installs the correct Java Runtime Environment  
(JRE) for the disk-based installation wizard. This does not affect any pre-installed JREs, but other  
program components launched from the switch require Oracle JRE 1.7.0_9 or higher installed on  
the host.  
EZSwitchSetup is supported on the platforms shown in Table 1.

Supported switches  
You can use EZSwitchSetup with the switches listed in “Supported hardware and software” on  
page v.  
Your switch must meet the following requirements:  
•
•
It must be connected to an Ethernet LAN that is accessible by the host. If it is not, the system  
issues the message “Page not Found.”  
It must have licensed FC ports. If the switch has no licensed FC ports, you must first install a  
POD license and then enable the affected ports. For more information, refer to “Adding a port  
license” on page 38

Language support for EZSwitchSetup

•
It must be in a single-switch fabric. If your switch connects to another switch (if there is an  
E_Port on the switch), you cannot manage the switch using EZSwitchSetup until you  
disconnect the switch connection.  
NOTE  
If there is an E_Port on the switch and if there is a zone conflict, then the fabric is segmented;  
in this case, the switch is in a fabric by itself and EZSwitchSetup treats it as a single-switch  
fabric.  
You cannot use EZSwitchSetup to manage a switch that has any of the following features enabled:  
•
•
•
Virtual Fabrics with non-default logical switches  
Access Gateway  
User-defined Admin Domains  
You can, however, use the EZSwitchSetup wizard to discover these switches and set their IP  
addresses. The Brocade VA-40FC switch comes pre-configured in Access Gateway mode. If you use  
the EZSwitchSetup wizard to discover the Brocade VA-40FC switch and set the IP address, Web  
Tools will launch automatically for you to manage the Access Gateway features.  
Language support for EZSwitchSetup  
The EZSwitchSetup wizard and the Switch Manager interface display the following languages:  
English (default)  
Brazilian Portuguese  
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
French  
German  
Italian  
Japanese  
Korean  
Simplified Chinese  
Spanish  
Traditional Chinese  
When you launch EZSwitchSetup, the interface detects the operating system and language  
environment and installs and displays the appropriate language. For example, if you set up the  
switch using a German operating system, EZSwitchSetup installs the German language interface  
and displays text, messages, and labels in that language.  
If localization resources are not fully available in the user host environment, EZSwitchSetup uses  
the default language, English.  
Regardless of the local language, the following is displayed in English:  
•
•
•
•
User input, which must consist of printable ASCII characters  
Switch-based information (such as firmware version and switch name)  
Some globally accepted industry terms (such as SAN and HBA)  
The End User License Agreement (EULA)

You have the choice of using a serial connection or an Ethernet connection to your LAN to set  
the IP address for the switch. The Ethernet connection is generally more convenient and  
preferred. Use the serial connection if it is not possible or not convenient to connect the host  
on the same subnet as the switch.  
2. Click Next.  
The Connect Cables window is displayed (Figure 5).

The switch power and status LEDs display amber and then change to green, which usually  
takes from one to three minutes. See your switch hardware manual for the location of the  
LEDs.  
4. Connect an Ethernet cable from the Brocade switch to the LAN you want to use for your  
management connection through an Ethernet hub or switch. If you chose to use your Ethernet  
connection for setup in step 1, this is the connection you will use. If you chose the serial cable  
connection in step 1, you should still connect the Ethernet cable so the Ethernet connection  
will be available when you start the EZSwitchSetup Manager.  
5. If you are using a serial connection for setup, connect your setup computer to the serial port on  
the switch, using the serial cable shipped with the switch. If you cannot locate the serial cable  
that came with the switch, you will need to find one that has the appropriate connectors. Do  
not use a null-modem cable. The serial connection settings are as follows:  
•
•
•
•
•
Bits per second: 9600  
Databits: 8  
Parity: None  
Stop bits: 1  
Flow control: None  
6. Click Next.  
EZSwitchSetup attempts to discover the switch. If your switch discovery fails, see Table 2 on  
page 17 for details on how to recover your switch.  
If you are using the serial connection, the Set Switch IP Address window is displayed, and you  
can go to step 5. You can now remove the serial cable from the switch, but keep it available in  
case you lose your network connection and need to revise any of the information you entered.

Switch discovery failure  
During the setup of your switch, the switch discovery may fail. There may be several reasons why  
switch discovery fails. Table 2 lists symptoms and related suggestions to recover the switch.  
TABLE 2  
Discovery recovery  
Symptom  
Correction  
For serial connections:  
The setup computer COM port is busy.  
The port is being controlled by another communications program.  
Stop all other third-party communications programs.  
The port settings are in conflict with another device. Check your  
IRQ settings.  
On Windows systems:  
By default, COM1 and COM3 use IRQ4, while COM2 and COM4  
use IRQ3. If another device is sharing the IRQ of the port, you  
must change the IRQ of the conflicting device. Hardware conflicts  
can also occur with the I/O address of the COM port. The 8514a  
video chip or its clones (S3 chip set) on some video cards create a  
conflict with COM4 because they use the same address of 02E8.  
The switch does not respond to  
commands during a serial connection.  
The serial cable may not be connected properly between the  
setup computer and the switch. Check the serial cable to ensure  
it is secured.  
The switch does not power up.  
Verify that the switch’s power cable is securely plugged into a  
proper outlet and that the switch’s power button is turned on.  
The switch’s serial adapter does not  
work.  
Verify that the cable is good by replacing the cable or trying it on  
another known working device.  
If the cable is good, then call your support provider for further  
instructions.  
For Ethernet connections:  
The WWN is not entered correctly.  
Verify that the WWN is correct.  
The target switch is not on the same  
subnet as the host.  
Connect the host to the same subnet as the target switch. If it is  
not possible or convenient to do so, use the serial connection to  
set the IP address.  
The target switch has no IP address  
instead of the factory default  
10.77.77.77.  
Use the serial connection to set the IP address.  
You have requested automatic address  
assignment in an environment where a  
DHCP server is not available.  
Use the serial connection to set a reachable address.  
Configuring the switch  
The configuration wizard steps you through the process of changing your administrative password  
and zoning. You begin at the Welcome to Switch Configuration window (Figure 12).

Zoning selection options

3. Click Next. The Select Zoning window is displayed.  
NOTE  
For the Brocade 8000, if you do not have a Ports on Demand license, none of the ports are  
usable, so the wizard displays a message and exits. You must add the Ports on Demand  
license using the EZSwitchSetup Switch Manager or the command line interface. For more  
information, refer to “Adding a port license” on page 38.  
Zoning selection options  
The next step in configuring your switch is to select zoning. There are three choices:  
•
Typical Zoning creates a port-based zoning scheme based on the connections made on the  
Configure Ports and Connect Devices window (Figure 16). This zoning scheme creates a  
two-member zone for every possible pairing of HBA (H) and storage (S) ports connected on the  
Configure Ports and Connect Devices window. This ensures that any host device connected to  
an H port is able to communicate with any storage device connected to an S port.  
NOTE  
You can use Typical Zoning for dual-capable devices (devices that are configured to function  
both as initiators and targets), but in Typical Zoning mode, these devices are recognized as  
targets by EZSwitchSetup and are rejected if attached to a host port.  
•
•
Custom Zoning allows you to customize which initiators access which targets, and creates a  
device-based zoning scheme based on your choices. The HBAs and storage devices should  
already be connected to the switch. Custom Zoning provides a device accessibility matrix for  
you to modify; it then automatically creates zones based on that matrix. Custom Zoning  
supports only single-switch fabrics. If you select this option, when you click Next, the wizard  
closes and the EZSwitchSetup Switch Manager application opens.  
Advanced Zoning allows you complete customization of your zoning and should be used if you  
are familiar with zoning and zoning practices. If you select this option, when you click Next, the  
wizard closes and the Advanced Management application (Web Tools) opens. For specific  
information about using Web Tools for zoning, refer to the Web Tools Administrator’s Guide.

FIGURE 14 Select Zoning wizard window  
Typical Zoning is the default and the following procedure directs you to select Typical Zoning. When  
you select Typical Zoning, the wizard automatically configures the zones for you and shows you how  
to connect the devices to the switch. You can change the zoning configuration later, as described in  
“Zoning management” on page 43.  
Configuring zones on the switch  
1. On the Select Zoning wizard, select Typical Zoning.  
If you want to use one of the other zone settings, refer to “Editing the zoning configuration” on  
page 45 for instructions on configuring Custom Zoning; refer to the Web Tools Administrator’s  
Guide for information on Advanced Zoning.  
2. Click Next.  
The Specify Devices window is displayed.  
Specifying devices  
On the Specify Devices window (Figure 15), complete the following steps.  
1. Enter the number of HBA connections that you want to attach to the switch. Be sure to include  
existing HBA connections, and any additional HBA connections you plan to make in the current  
setup session. You can change this setting later if you want to add or remove HBA connections.  
2. Enter the number of storage connections you want to attach to the switch. Be sure to include  
existing storage connections, and any additional storage connections you plan to make in the  
current setup session. You can change this setting later if you want to add or remove storage  
connections.

EZSwitchSetup uses these values to verify that all your current and planned devices are  
properly connected for the zoning scheme that will be created. Note that Typical Zoning  
ensures that every connected host device will be able to communicate with every connected  
storage device.  
3. Click Next. The Configure Ports and Connect Devices window is displayed (Figure 16 on  
page 22).  
FIGURE 15 Specify Devices window  
Connecting devices and completing the setup  
The final step in the switch configuration is to connect your devices to the switch in a way that  
matches a configured array of connection reservations (HBA or storage) on the ports. In the  
interactive switch graphic that is displayed on the Configure Ports and Connect Devices window,  
these connection reservations are shown by the letters H or S against a blue or green background  
on the ports, and will automatically match the types of the devices that have already been  
connected, with existing connections shown as green lines that connect the ports with icons  
representing the devices. If you have indicated on the previous screen that you intend to connect  
more devices, connection reservations of matching types will also have been made for your  
planned devices, with dotted blue lines to show you where these devices should be attached.  
Finally, as you attach the new devices, the dotted blue lines will change to solid green (for correctly  
attached devices) or to solid red (when devices are attached at ports with non-matching  
reservations). When a red line appears, the mismatch may be corrected either by moving the  
device to a different port as suggested by a dotted blue line for a device of that type, or by changing  
the reservation type of the port where the device is currently connected by clicking on the port icon.  
In either case, the solid red and dotted blue lines should both disappear, and be replaced by a  
single solid green line to indicate the correct connection. For connected devices, you can also view  
details of the device by pausing on the host or storage icon.  
The Next button for this screen is not enabled until all non-matching or missing connection issues  
(indicated by solid red and dotted blue lines) have been resolved.

If you change your mind about the number of devices you want to connect, you can click the  
Previous button and adjust the values you have selected in the device type lists on the Specify  
Devices window. You must always select at least as many devices of each type as have been  
connected, and you must also connect as many devices of each type as you have selected. On the  
Configure Ports and Connect Devices window, you can also pre-reserve some additional currently  
unoccupied ports for future HBA or storage connections. These additional reservations are also  
reflected in the zoning scheme, and are shown on the Display Devices window in the EZManager  
application to remind you where these additional devices can be connected. The default  
reservation type is HBA.  
FIGURE 16 Configure Ports and Connect Devices window  
When you click Next on the Configure Ports and Connect Devices window, if Typical Zoning is used,  
the final set of connection reservations shown on the screen is translated internally into a zoning  
scheme that ensures that every correctly connected host device can communicate separately with  
every correctly connected storage device. If this is not what you want (for example, if you want to  
partition your devices so that each HBA can communicate with some storage devices but not  
others), then you should re-run the Setup wizard and select Custom Zoning or Advanced Zoning  
instead of Typical Zoning.  
Use the following procedure to make the physical connections.  
1. Install the small form-factor pluggable (SFP) transceivers in the Fibre Channel ports shown  
onscreen. (See Figure 17 on page 23.)  
a. Remove any protector plugs from the SFP transceivers to be used.  
b. Position and insert each SFP transceiver as required (right side up in the top row of ports  
and upside down in the bottom row of ports) until it is firmly seated.  
c. Close the latching bale.

Switch Manager overview  
The EZSwitchSetup Switch Manager is a simplified version of Web Tools. It streamlines switch  
management by providing an easy-to-use subset of basic switch management tasks.  
You can use the EZSwitchSetup Switch Manager to do the following:  
•
•
•
•
Monitor the switch, including port and field-replacable unit (FRU) status  
Manage custom zoning  
Perform basic switch configurations  
Add Ports On Demand (POD)  
The Switch Manager works for a single-switch fabric only. It displays only the switch and associated  
tasks, without fabric information.  
Figure 20 on page 28 shows an example of the initial Switch Manager screen. The appearance  
may vary depending on the switch model. The following sections describe the components of the  
screen.

If the entire port icon is blue, the port is buffer-limited. (A port is operating in buffer-limited mode  
when the number of buffers allocated to the port is less than the number of buffers needed by the  
port to utilize the port at full bandwidth.)  
If a group of port icons is gray (unavailable), those ports are not licensed.

Assigning and renaming device aliases  
Every device has a device name and an alias name. Alias names make it easier to reference the  
devices. Alias names are displayed in the zone access map on the Zoning page. You can assign or  
rename the alias names using the following procedure.  
1. Select Modify Alias under Devices in the task panel.  
The Define Device Aliases wizard is displayed (Figure 38). The first time the Define Device  
Aliases wizard is started, the New Alias column is pre-populated with default aliases. You can  
click OK to accept the default aliases, or click Cancel if you do not want to assign aliases. Note  
that if an alias is not assigned, the devices are identified only by WWN. A good alias name  
makes it much easier to identify devices.

select View under Devices (as in Figure 34). The device aliases are also displayed in the Zone  
Access Map for Devices when you select View under Zoning (Figure 40).  
FIGURE 40 Device alias in Zone Access Map  
Zoning management  
Zoning enables you to partition your fabric into logical groups of devices that can access each  
other. For example, you can partition your fabric into two zones, winzone and unixzone, so that your  
Windows servers and storage do not interact with your UNIX servers and storage.  
Zones can be configured dynamically. They can vary in size, depending on the number of  
fabric-connected devices, and devices can belong to more than one zone. Because zone members  
can access only other members of the same zone, a device not included in a zone is not available  
to members of that zone.  
Zone members may be specified by fabric location (domain, port index) only, or by device name  
(node name or port WWN). Zones whose members are specified by fabric location are port-based,  
and zones whose members are directly specified by device WWN are device-based. In port-based  
zoning, all devices that are connected to ports that are in the same zone can communicate with  
each other, and a device can join a zone simply by being connected to a member port. In  
device-based zoning, devices are explicitly specified as members of the same zone. These devices  
can communicate with each other regardless of where they are located in the fabric.

EZSwitchSetup creates zones for you automatically, based on your configuration choices in Setup.  
•
•
If you chose Typical Zoning, a port-based zoning scheme was created. This zoning scheme  
creates a two member zone for every possible pairing of H and S ports connected on the  
Configure Ports and Connect Devices screen. This ensures that any host device connected to  
an H port is able to communicate with any storage device connected to an S port. This remains  
true even if you move a device, assuming you connect the device to the correct type of port (H  
or S).  
If you chose Custom Zoning, you created a device accessibility matrix during setup. The device  
accessibility matrix creates a device-based zoning scheme. By default, every connected host  
device can communicate with every connected storage device, as in typical zoning. You can  
use the device accessibility matrix to selectively disallow communications between certain  
devices, creating a device partitioning scheme that is enforced by zoning. Because custom  
zoning is device-based, you may freely move your devices to different ports without affecting  
accessibility relationships. If you add or permanently remove devices, you should reconfigure  
the accessibility matrix.  
•
If you chose Advanced Zoning, you were given direct access to the zoning database through  
Web Tools, and you created a zoning scheme of your own. EZManager can validate and display  
accessibility relationships based on your scheme, and it can replace your scheme with Typical  
Zoning or Custom Zoning. If you want to edit your scheme, you must return to Setup and chose  
Advanced Management to start Web Tools. For specific information about using Web Tools for  
zoning, see the Web Tools Administrator’s Guide.  
Viewing the zone access map  
Click View under Zoning in the task panel to view the Zone Access Map for Devices (Figure 41). If  
you have no devices or if you have only one device, the zoning map does not display.  
The HBA and storage device names displayed in the matrix are the alias names of the devices (see  
“Assigning and renaming device aliases” on page 41 for additional information). If no aliases are  
assigned, devices are identified by WWN. When aliases are assigned, you can see the WWN in a  
tool tip by hovering the mouse cursor over the alias.

Some HBAs and storage devices can be configured with dual initiator and target capability. Such  
devices are displayed as both HBA and storage devices in the matrix.  
Editing the zoning configuration  
You can customize which HBAs can access which storage devices by clicking Edit in the Zoning task  
panel. This starts a wizard that creates a new Custom Zoning scheme based on your device  
accessibility choices.  
If you make any zoning changes to the default Typical Zoning configuration, you will be creating a  
Custom Zoning configuration to replace it. You can later restore the Typical Zoning configuration by  
clicking Restore Default Typical Zoning in the task panel.  
1. Click Edit under Zoning in the task panel.  
A wizard launches, briefly displaying the Zone Access Map for Devices.  
A Review Device Connections screen displays device connections, over the Zone Access Map  
for Devices. Check to be sure all connected devices are present and recognized by the switch.  
2. Click Next.  
The Define Device Aliases screen is displayed.  
3. Add or modify aliases in the New Alias column.  
4. Click Next.  
The Edit HBA/Storage Accessibility Matrix is displayed.  
If no devices are connected to the switch, or if only storage devices or only HBAs are  
connected, then the Switch Manager displays a message and the Edit HBA/Storage  
Accessibility Matrix does not launch.

Accessing Web Tools for advanced management  
From the Switch Manager, you can launch Web Tools, which provides more extensive switch  
management functions for more experienced users. See the Web Tools Administrator’s Guide for  
information on the Web Tools interface.  
To launch Web Tools, ensure that you have completed all Switch Manager tasks and then click  
Advanced Management in the Miscellaneous category of the task panel. The Switch Manager  
session will be closed. Any editing in Switch Manager that has not been applied is lost.  
After entering Web Tools, you must re-log in to manage the switch.  
You cannot return to EZSwitchSetup Switch Manager unless you close and reopen your browser  
window and relaunch EZSwitchSetup.  
Making EZSwitchSetup your default switch manager  
If you want to be sure that the EZSwitchSetup Manager is launched as the default switch  
management program from your web browser instead of Web Tools, do the following.  
1. Log in to the switch.  
2. Use the configure command to check Web Tools attributes by typing yes or y to display Web  
Tools attributes, as in the following example.  
switch:admin> configure  
Not all options will be available on an enabled switch.  
To disable the switch, use the "switchDisable" command.

Problem Area  
HTTP timeout  
Very often, you may see the following message when you try to get data from a switch or to  
send a request to the switch:  
Failed to get switch response. Please verify the status  
of your last operation and try again if necessary.  
This indicates that an HTTP request did not get a response. The request was sent to the  
switch, but the connection was down, probably caused by a temporary loss of the Web  
server on the switch. Due to the nature of an HTTP connection, Switch Manager will report  
this error after a 90-second default timeout.  
In this case, verify the status of your last request, using Telnet to check related status, or  
click the Refresh button in the Switch Manager to retrieve related data. If your request did  
not get through to the switch, resubmit it. Executing a refresh from Switch Manager  
retrieves a copy of switch data at that moment; the data you entered can be lost if it had  
not already been committed to the switch.  
Loss of Connection  
Occasionally, you may see the following message when you try to retrieve data from the  
switch or send a request to the switch:  
Switch Status Checking  
The switch is not currently accessible.  
The dialog title may vary, because it indicates which module is having the problem.  
This is caused by the loss of HTTP connection with the switch, due to a variety of possible  
problems. Switch Manager automatically tries to regain the connection. While Switch  
Manager is trying to regain the connection, check if your Ethernet connection is still  
functioning. If the problem is not with the Ethernet connection, wait for Switch Manager to  
recover the connection and display the following message:  
You will have to resubmit your request after closing this message.  
If the temporary switch connection loss is caused by switch hot code load, or other similar  
operation, the Switch Explorer you are currently running can be downloaded from a  
different firmware version than the new one. In this case the following message displays:  
Switch connection is restored. The firmware version you are running is not in sync with the  
version currently on switch. Close your browser and re-launch Webtools.  
You must close Switch Manager and relaunch it to reopen the connection.
