Overview

This section covers the following topics:

■

Intended Audience

Suggested Reading

A book that can help you to prepare to install products and configure a SAN is the

HP StorageWorks SAN High Availability Planning Guide. You can obtain this

book from the Hewlett-Packard website (http://www.hp.com) or from the CD

shipped with the Hewlett-Packard product you purchased.

Another publication you may want to read is Compaq StorageWorks SAN Switch

Zoning Reference Guide, which is a white paper on zoning fundamentals. It is

available online from the Hewlett-Packard website (http://www.hp.com).

Introduction

Where to Start

Depending upon whether the Hewlett-Packard product you purchased has already

been installed, you may need to go to a specific chapter. If the product has not

been installed, you should start at Chapter 2.

If the product was installed, then many of the configuration tasks were probably

already completed. In that case, you may need to configure a zone. Configuring

(including adding, deleting, and changing) zones is described in Chapter 3.

If the products have been configured and you have a functioning SAN, then you

most likely will be interested in performing system administration tasks. Those

tasks are described in Chapter 4, Chapter 5, and Chapter 6.

If you need to perform troubleshooting, then you will want to review Chapter 5

and Chapter 6.

Starting EWS

Open the EWS interface as follows:

1. Ensure the workstation (or device you use to launch the web browser) and the

Ethernet LAN segment containing the product, such as Edge Switch 2/24, are

attached and connected through the Internet.

Note: You must be able to make a connection between the web browser and the

product in order to login to the product.

2. Launch the web browser application (such as Netscape Navigator, version 4.6

or higher, or Microsoft Internet Explorer, version 4.0 or higher).

3. At the web browser, enter the IP address of the product as the Internet uniform

resource locator (URL) such as http://10.1.1.11.

Note: If the product has not been installed, refer to the product’s installation and

service manual for the appropriate IP address, login ID, and password that is initially

used when you install and configure the product.

Configuring the Product

Factory Default Values

HP products on a SAN have preset, default configuration values that were set in

the factory. The items that have factory-set default values are:

■

Passwords (customer and maintenance-level)

Internet Protocol (IP) address

Subnet mask

Gateway address

The specific default values associated with a particular HP product are

documented in the installation and service manual for the product.

Configuring Ports

Perform procedures in this section to configure names and operating

characteristics for Fibre Channel ports. To configure one or more ports:

1. If you are going to change the Speed parameter on an Director 2/64, set the

product offline as follows:

a. Choose Operations from the navigation panel. The Operations page

displays.

b. Click the Online State tab, then click Set Offline. The following message

displays: Your operations changes have been

successfully activated.

2. At the EWS screen, choose Configure from the navigation panel. The

Configure page and the Ports tab view display (Figure 4).

Note: Because the Director 2/140 has many ports, the listing of ports is divided into

separate displays, which are accessed by clicking the hyperlinks 1-31, 32-63, 64-95,

96-127, and 132-143. (Ports 128 through 131 are internal ports and not available for

external connections.) If you make any changes to a particular list of ports, click

Activate before selecting another list of ports. If you do not click Activate, changes are

not implemented on the director.

Configuring the Product

Figure 4: Configure Ports tab view

a. For each port to be configured, type a port name of 24 alphanumeric

characters or less in the associated Name field.

Note: When naming ports, you may want to name each port based on the device

attached to the port. For example, if the port is attached to an e-mail server, you might

name the port email1 server port 2. The important point is to relate the name

of the port to the device that is attached to the port.

b. Click a check box in the Blocked column to block or unblock a port

(default is unblocked). A check mark in the box indicates a port is

blocked. Blocking a port prevents the attached devices or HP products in

the fabric from communicating. A blocked port continuously transmits

the offline sequence (OLS).

c. Click the check box in the FAN column to enable or disable the fabric

address notification (FAN) feature (default is enabled). (The FAN column

is available only on the Edge Switch 2/24.) A check mark in the box

indicates FAN is enabled. When the feature is enabled, the port transmits

a FAN frame after loop initialization to verify that Fibre Channel

Arbitrated Loop (FC-AL) devices are still logged in. It is recommended

this option be enabled for ports configured for loop operation.

Configuring the Product

d. Click a check box in the 10-100 km column to define extended distance

buffering. (This column is not available on the Edge Switch 2/24.) A

check mark in the box indicates extended distance buffering is enabled.

You can enable extended distance for a port even if it is not an extended

distance port. However, enabling extended distance buffering for a port

disables the ability of the port to send broadcast traffic. When you choose

this option, the port can support up to 60 buffer-to-buffer credits

(BB_Credits) to handle link distances up to 100 km. This enables the port

to process 2K frames from attached devices. If this option is not enabled,

the port uses the BB_Credit value.

Note: If a device is connected and logged in to the fabric when extended distance is

enabled or disabled on the corresponding port, the HP product sends OLS for

5 milliseconds to force the device to log in again and obtain the new BB_Credit value

set for the port.

e. Choose from the drop-down list in the Type column to configure the port

type. Available selections are:

— G_Port — Generic port.

— F_Port — Fabric port.

— E_Port — Expansion port.

— GX_Port — Generic mixed port. Use this selection to configure a

port as a generic loop port (GL_Port). The port automatically

negotiates any connection type (Edge Switch 2/24 only).

— FX_Port — Fabric mixed port. Use this selection to configure a port

as a fabric loop port (FL_Port). The port automatically negotiates

F_Port and FL_Port connections only (Edge Switch 2/24 only).

f. Choose from the drop-down list in the Speed column to configure the port

transmission rate. Available selections are:

— Negotiate — Auto-negotiate between 1.0625 and 2.125 gigabits per

second (Gbps) operation. This is valid only on products that are

capable of 2 Gbs operation.

— 1 Gb/sec — 1.0625 Gbps operation.

— 2 Gb/sec — 2.125 Gbps operation.

Embedded Web Server User Guide

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

Configuring the Product

Note: If the product is attached to a fabric element, the product and element must have

unique domain IDs. If the values are not unique, the E_Port connection to the element

cannot carry traffic and the product cannot communicate with the fabric.

b. At the Insistent Domain ID field, choose Enabled or Disabled. When

this parameter is enabled, the domain ID configured in the Preferred

Domain ID field becomes the active domain identification when the

fabric initializes. (The Insistent Domain ID is automatically enabled if the

SANtegrity Binding feature is installed.)

Note: If Enterprise Fabric Mode (an optional SANtegrity Binding feature) is enabled,

then Insistent Domain ID must be enabled.

c. At the Rerouting Delay field, choose Enabled or Disabled. When this

parameter is enabled, traffic is delayed through the fabric by the specified

error detect time out value (E_D_TOV). This delay ensures Fibre Channel

frames are delivered to their destination in order, even if a change to the

fabric topology creates a new (shorter) transmission path. This parameter

is only applicable if the product is being configured in a multiswitch

fabric.

Note: If Enterprise Fabric Mode (an optional SANtegrity Binding feature) is enabled,

then Rerouting Delay must be enabled.

d. At the Domain RSCNs field, choose Enabled or Disabled. When this

parameter is enabled, messages can be sent between end devices in a

fabric to provide additional connection information to host bus adapters

(HBA) and storage devices. Consult with your HBA and storage device

vendor to determine if enabling Domain RSCNs will cause problems with

your HBA or storage products.

Note: If Enterprise Fabric Mode (an optional SANtegrity Binding feature) is enabled,

then Domain RSCNs must be enabled.

Configuring the Product

e. At the Suppress RSCNs on Zone Set Activations field, choose Enabled

or Disabled. When this parameter is enabled, RSCN messages are

prohibited from being sent to ports on the switch following any change to

the fabric's active zone set. Consult with your HBA and storage device

vendor to determine if enabling this parameter will cause problems with

your HBA or storage products.

Note: Some older versions of EWS may show the Zoning Configuration Change

RSCNs field for this item. The functionality is the same.

f. If you are configuring parameters for the Director 2/64, a Switch Speed

field is displayed. Choose 1 Gb/sec or 2 Gb/sec. These options specify

the speed used on the switch. This field is valid only for the Director 2/64,

which is able to run at both speeds.

4. Click Activate to save and activate the changes. The following message

Configuring the Product

b. At the R_A_TOV field, type a value between 10 through 1200 tenths of a

second (1 through 120 seconds). (The R_A_TOV value must be greater

than the E_D_TOV value.)

Note: If the product is attached to a fabric element, the product and element must be

set to the same R_A_TOV value. If the values are not identical, the E_Port connection to

the element fails and the product cannot communicate with the fabric.

c. At the E_D_TOV field, type a value between 2 through 600 tenths of a

second (0.2 through 60 seconds). (The E_D_TOV value must be less than

the R_A_TOV value.)

Note: If the product is attached to a fabric element, the product and fabric element

must be set to the same E_D_TOV value. If the values are not identical, the E_Port

connection to the element fails and the product cannot communicate with the fabric.

d. Choose from the Switch Priority drop-down list to set the product

priority. Available selections are Default, Principal, and Never

Principal. The default setting is Default.

This value designates the fabric’s principal switch. The principal switch is

assigned a priority of 1 and controls the allocation and distribution of

domain IDs for all fabric elements (including itself).

Principal is the highest priority setting, Default is the next highest, and

Never Principal is the lowest priority setting. The setting Never

Principal means the switch is incapable of becoming a principal switch.

If all switches are set to Principal or Default, the switch with the highest

priority and the lowest World Wide Name (WWN) becomes the principal

switch.

At least one switch in a fabric must be set as Principal or Default. If all

switches are set to Never Principal, all interswitch links (ISLs) will

segment, causing a failure of connectivity.

e. Choose from the Interop Mode drop-down list to set the product

operating mode. This option does not display if the operation mode is

S/390. (S/390 mode is not supported with the Edge Switch 2/24.)

Configuring Open Trunking

The Open Trunking page enables you to configure open trunking settings. Open

Trunking is an optional software feature that is enabled using a feature key.

The purpose of Open Trunking is to make efficient use of redundant interswitch

links (ISLs) between neighboring switches by means of load balancing. ISLs are

fiber optic cables that connect ports between Fibre Channel switches and link

these switches into a multiswitch fabric. Fibre Channel traffic flows through these

ISLs from end devices (servers and storage devices) attached to ports on

individual switches.

When the traffic on a particular port exceeds a specified threshold, the Open

Trunking functionality routes some of the traffic to another ISL. This prevents

traffic from becoming congested on an ISL. Open trunking provides automatic,

dynamic, statistical traffic load balancing across ISLs in a fabric environment.

The Open Trunking feature monitors Fibre Channel data rates through multiple

ISLs, dynamically applies a fibre shortest path first (FSPF) networking algorithm

to calculate the optimum path between fabric elements, and balances the Fibre

Channel traffic load accordingly. The objective is to make the most efficient

possible use of redundant ISLs between neighboring switches, even if these ISLs

have different bandwidths.

The Open Trunking feature monitors the average data rates of all traffic flows

(from a transmit port to a destination domain), and periodically adjusts routing

tables to reroute data flows from congested links to lightly loaded links and

optimizes bandwidth use.

Load-balancing among the ISLs does not require user configuration, other than

enabling open trunking and selecting optional or default settings for congestion

thresholds (per port) and a response threshold for lack of BB_Credits. In

particular, you do not need to manually configure ISLs into trunk groups of

redundant links where data can be off-loaded.

Candidate links for rerouting flow are identified automatically and maintained by

the FSPF protocol. All ISLs that lead to adjacent switches on the shortest path to

the flow’s destination are considered. This means that even if a link is not on the

shortest path to the destination, the flow may be rerouted to this link to relieve

congestion. This also means that flow may be rerouted onto a link that goes to a

different adjacent switch.

4. Choose Enabled or Disabled from the Unresolved Congestion Event

Notification drop down list. If enabled, an unresolved congestion entry is

Unresolved congestion occurs when a flow cannot be rerouted to another link

because it would exceed the other link's threshold.

5. Choose Enabled or Disabled from the Backpressure Event Notification

drop down list. If enabled, a backpressure entry is made in the event log and,

if SNMP is configured, an SNMP trap is generated. Backpressure occurs

when the threshold of unavailable BB_Credits is exceeded for any link.

6. Specify a value for the Low BB Credit Threshold option, if desired.

Note: Earlier versions of this dialog box may display Credit Starvation Threshold

instead of the Low BB Credit Threshold.

The system monitors the percentage of time that the port experiences no

transmit BB_credits on the link. The link cannot transmit without BB_credits.

When the threshold is exceeded, the system reroutes flows away from the ISL

that is experiencing this problem. This threshold is also used to prevent

rerouting of traffic to an ISL that is experiencing a low BB_credit threshold

condition. The enabled Default check box indicates that the default threshold

value of 10% should be used rather than the value in the % entry field. This

parameter must be a value in the range 1 to 99, if the Default box is not

checked.

7. Specify a load-balancing threshold value in the Threshold % field for each

port, if desired. Use this field to configure the value of the load-balancing

threshold for each port. When this threshold is exceeded, the open trunking

functionality offloads some of the traffic to another ISL. The threshold must

be a value in the range 1 to 99, if the Default box is not checked.

Understanding Zoning

Designing zoning can be a complex task, especially for multiswitch fabrics.

Consult with your managed product vendor’s professional services organization

before configuring zoning.

This section is designed to help you understand the following concepts so that you

can more efficiently use Embedded Web Server features to configure and manage

zones across a multiswitch fabric:

■

Benefits of zoning.

■

How zoning works to control access to storage devices and servers across a

fabric.

■

Other methods of controlling access at the switch and at the server and device,

such as binding.

■

Merging zoned fabrics.

Basic terms and concepts of zoning that you must understand when

configuring zoning.

Controlling Access Across a Fabric

Embedded Web Server zoning features enable you to establish zoning across a

fabric of devices attached to switches and directors by partitioning these devices

into groups called zones. A zone consists of devices that can access each other

through port-to-port connections. Devices in the same zone can recognize and

communicate with each other; devices in different zones cannot.

System administrators create zones to increase security and prevent data loss or

corruption by controlling access between devices (such as servers and data storage

units), or between separate user groups (such as engineering or human resources).

Embedded Web Server User Guide

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

Configuring Zones

Zoning allows an administrator to:

■

Establish barriers between devices that use different operating systems. For

example, it is often critical to separate servers and storage devices with

different operating systems because accidental transfer of information from

one to another can delete or corrupt data. Zoning prevents this by grouping

devices that use the same operating systems into zones.

■

Create logical subsets of closed user groups. Administrators can authorize

access rights to specific zones for specific user groups, thereby protecting

confidential data from unauthorized access.

Create groups of devices that are separate from devices in the rest of a fabric.

Zoning allows certain processes (such as maintenance or testing) to be

performed on devices in one group without interrupting devices in other

groups.

■

Allow temporary access between devices for specific purposes.

Administrators can remove zoning restrictions temporarily (for example, to

perform nightly data backup), then restore zoning restrictions to perform

normal processes.

Figure 18 illustrates three zones established on a single managed product with

four devices in each zone. Devices in each zone can communicate with and access

devices only in their respective zones.

Configuring Zones

Controlling Access at the Switch

A port binding feature is available on switches and directors that allows you to

bind a specific switch or director port to the WWN of an attached device for

exclusive communication. This Port Binding feature is available through the Port

Binding tab, which is under the Security tab of the Configure page view.

Controlling Access at the Server or Storage Device

Features available at the server or storage device can add methods, beyond zoning,

to increase network security measures, differentiate between operating systems,

and prevent data loss or corruption by controlling access between devices or

between separate user groups (such as engineering or human resources).

Server-level access control is called persistent binding. Persistent binding uses

configuration information stored on the server and is implemented through the

server’s host bus adapter (HBA) driver. The process binds a server device name to

a specific Fibre Channel storage volume or logical unit number (LUN), through a

specific HBA and storage port WWN. In essence, this feature creates a reliable

route across the fabric that sustains the small computer system interface (SCSI)

connection between a server and storage device.

For persistent binding:

■

Each server HBA is explicitly bound to a storage volume or LUN, and access

is explicitly authorized (access is blocked by default).

The process is compatible with open system interconnection (OSI) standards.

The following are transparently supported:

— Different operating systems and applications.

— Different storage volume managers and file systems.

— Different fabric devices, including disk drives, tape drives, and tape

libraries.

■

If the server is rebooted, the server-to-storage connection is automatically

re-established.

The connection is bound to a storage port WWN. If the fiber-optic cable is

disconnected from the storage port, the server-to-storage connection is

automatically re-established when the port cable is reconnected. The

connection is also automatically re-established if the storage port is cabled

through a different managed product port.

Embedded Web Server User Guide

Configuring Zones

Access can also be controlled at the storage device as an addition or enhancement

to redundant array of independent disks (RAID) controller software. Data access

is controlled within the storage device, and server HBA access to each LUN is

explicitly limited (access is blocked by default). Storage-level access control:

■

Provides control at the storage port and LUN level, and does not require

configuration at the server.

■

Is typically proprietary and protects only a specific vendor’s storage devices.

Storage-level access control may not be available for many legacy devices.

Before establishing persistent binding or access control features at the storage

device, consult with your managed-product vendor’s professional services

organization.

Zoning Concepts

Zoning is configured by authorizing or restricting access to name server

information associated with device ports that attach to product ports. A zone

member is specified by the number of the product port to which a device is

attached, or by the 8-byte WWN assigned to the HBA or Fibre Channel interface

installed in a device. A device port can belong to multiple zones.

Naming Conventions for Zones and Zone Sets

The following naming conventions apply to zones and zone sets:

■

All names must be unique and may not differ by case only. For example,

myzone and MyZone are both valid individually, but they are not unique.

■

The first character of a zone set name must be a letter (A-Z, a-z).

A zone set name cannot contain spaces.

Valid characters are a-z, A-Z, 0-9, ^, -, _, and $.

A zone set name can have a maximum of 64 characters.

Zones

A zone contains a set of members that can access each other. Refer to Table 3 on

page 64 for details on the number of members that you can configure in a zone

and the number of zones that you can configure with the EWS Configure Zone

functions.

A zone member can be a switch or director port or the WWN of the device. Ports

and devices spread throughout multiple managed products in a multiswitch fabric

may be grouped into the same zone. Members of a zone can see each other;

members in different zones cannot. The number of members that you can

configure for a zone varies according to the number of zones in the zone set, the

length of the zone names, and other factors, but is essentially bounded by the

available nonvolatile random-access memory (NVRAM) in the managed product.

Note: Port numbers cannot be used for zone members if the interoperability mode for

the switch or director is set to Open Fabric 1.0 mode. In this case, you must use node

WWNs as zone members.

The type of zone members identified for a zone may be mixed and matched. For

example, two members may be specified by a port number and the third member

by the WWN of the device.

Using WWNs

To identify a zone member by WWN, use the 16-digit WWN of the device. For

example:

10:00:08:00:88:40:C0:D4

Embedded Web Server User Guide

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

Configuring Zones

In EWS the WWN displays with the switch or director manufacturer’s name

before the WWN. The WWN is assigned to the Fibre Channel interface or HBA

installed in devices such as servers or storage devices. Although the device may

also have a node WWN, this WWN is not used for zoning identification.

Note: Nicknames can be assigned to the WWN using the HAFM Product Manager.

This functionality is not available in EWS.

The advantage of identifying a zone member as the WWN of the attached device

is that the identification will not change if fiber cable connections to ports are

rearranged. This is especially important if you are using spare ports. You can

simply move the fiber cable to a spare port from a failed port and still maintain the

zoning configuration.

The disadvantage of identifying a zone member by the WWN is that removal and

replacement of a device HBA or Fibre Channel interface (thereby changing the

device WWN) disrupts zone operation and may incorrectly include or exclude a

device from a zone.

Using Port Numbers

To identify a zone member by port number, use the domain identification number

of the managed product and the port number on that managed product. For

example:

Domain 1, Port 1

Note: Port numbers cannot be used for zone members if the interoperability mode for

the switch or director is set to Open Fabric 1.0 mode.

Port numbers can be 0 through n, with n representing the number of ports on the

managed product minus one. When you define a zone member by a port number,

any device attached through that port is included in the zone. A port number that

you assign as a zone member is automatically prefixed with the domain

identification number of the managed product.

The advantage of identifying a zone member by port number is that if the HBA on

an attached device fails, you don’t have to identify the member with the WWN of

the replacement HBA.

Embedded Web Server User Guide

Configuring Zones

A disadvantage of port zoning is that someone may rearrange cable connections to

ports (because of port failures or other reasons) and inadvertently allow devices to

communicate that should not have access to each other.

Note: If a managed product’s Domain ID changes, you must reconfigure all zones that

contained the managed product’s port as a zone member. We recommend assigning

unique Preferred Domain IDs to each switch in the fabric. You can make these

assignments using the EWS Configure page, Switch, Parameters tabs to change the

Preferred Domain IDs.

Default Zone

A default zone consists of all devices that have not been configured as members of

a zone in a currently-active zone set. The following are some important points to

remember about zone sets:

■

You can enable or disable the default zone separately from the active zone set

by choosing the Zoning option from the Configure menu. Enabling the

default zone allows all devices and ports not configured as members of the

active zone set to communicate. If the default zone is disabled, these ports and

devices cannot communicate.

■

When no zone set is activated, then all devices are considered to be in the

default zone.

If a zone set is active, then all connected devices that are not included as

members of a zone in the active zone set are included in the default zone.

Zone Sets

A zone set is a group of zones that you can activate or deactivate as a single entity

across all managed products in either a single switch or a multiswitch fabric. Only

one zone set can be active at one time. Devices that are members of zones in the

zone set can only communicate with members of zones in the same zone set.

However, devices can be included as members of more than one zone set. By

activating a zone set, you are making all zones in the set active.

Refer to Table 3 on page 64 for details on the number of zones and zone members

that you can configure in a zone set and the number of zone sets that you can

configure.

Embedded Web Server User Guide

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

Configuring Zones

The following are some important points to remember about zone sets:

■

If no zone set is active, and the default zone is disabled, then no devices can

communicate.

If you activate a zone set when there is already an active zone set, that set will

replace the currently-active zone set.

If you deactivate the current active zone set, then all devices connected in the

fabric become members of the default zone.

Active Zone Set

An active zone set is a zone set that is currently active on a single-switch fabric or

across all managed products in a multiswitch fabric. At any time, you can disable

zoning by deactivating the active zone set and enabling the default zone, or you

can enable zoning by activating a zone set. When a zone set is active, all zones that

are members of that zone set are active. Only one zone set can be active for the

fabric at one time. If no zones are active, then all devices are considered to be in

the default zone.

Merging Zoned Fabrics

Managed products are linked through Interswitch Links (ISLs) to form

multiswitch fabrics. In a multiswitch fabric, the active zoning configuration

applies to the entire fabric. Any change to the configuration applies to all switches

in the fabric.

When fabrics join through an ISL, adjacent managed products exchange active

zone configurations and determine if the configurations are compatible and can

merge. Zoning configurations are compatible if the active zone names in each

fabric are unique. If there are identical zone names in each fabric, then the zones

must have identical members for the fabrics to join.

If the configurations can merge, the fabrics join. The resulting configuration will

be a single zone set containing zone definitions from each fabric.

If configurations cannot merge, the expansion ports (E_Ports) on each product

become segmented. Segmented E_Ports cannot carry traffic from attached devices

(class 2 or 3 traffic), but can carry management and control traffic (class F traffic)

between managed products.

Rules for Merging Zoned Fabrics

Certain rules are enforced to ensure that zoning is consistent across the fabric.

Table 3 on page 64 summarizes rules for joining two fabrics through an ISL. The

following terms are used in the table:

■

Not zoned — No zone set is active in the fabric and the default zone is

enabled. In other words, all devices in the fabric are visible to all other devices

in the fabric.

Zoned — A zone set is active in the fabric and/or the default zone is disabled.

In this case, devices can discover other devices that are members of the same

zone.

Zoning configuration — Combination of the active zone set definition and the

default zone state (enabled or disabled).

If there is a zone name conflict (the

same zone name in each fabric) then

the zones must have identical members

for the fabrics to join.

If the two zones have the same name

but contain different members, then the

E_Ports will segment and the fabrics

Configuring Zones

Note: If merging zones will result in segmented E_Ports and the fabrics will not join,

you can join the fabrics by deactivating the active zone set on one of the fabrics (default

zone is enabled). This eliminates any conflicts because the fabrics will then join using

only the active zone set. After the fabrics join, you can make adjustments to zoning

configurations as you desire.

Configuring, Adding, or Deleting Zones

Perform this procedure to configure, change, add, or delete zones. A zone is a

group of devices that can access each other through port-to-port connections.

Devices in the same zone can recognize and communicate with each other;

devices in different zones cannot.

Caution: If, in your business practices, zoning tasks are performed using both

the Command Line Interface (CLI) and EWS, you risk potential conflicts in the

configuration and functionality could be lost.

To configure zones:

1. Choose Configure from the navigation panel.

2. At the Configure page, choose the Zoning tab and the Zones tab. The Zones

tab view displays as shown in Figure 20.

3. To configure a zone, first add the zone name to the product configuration. The

following naming conventions apply to zones and zone sets:

■

All names must be unique and may not differ by case only. For example,

zone-1 and Zone-1 are both valid individually, but are not considered

unique.

■

The first character of a zone set name must be a letter

(A through Z or a through z).

■

A zone set name cannot contain spaces.

Valid characters are alphanumerics and the caret ( ^ ),

hyphen ( - ), underscore ( _ ), or dollar ( $ ) symbols.

■

A zone set name can have a maximum of 64 characters.

Note: A product can have a maximum of 1024 zones.

Figure 30: Port List tab view

Port Operational States

The State column of the Port List tab view displays one of the following

operational states:

■ Beaconing— The port is beaconing, which means that the beaconing light

is flashing on the physical hardware. (A port in a failed state cannot beacon.)

■ Inactive— The switch port is in an inactive state. Reasons for this state

display in the Reason field of the Port Properties page. (See “Viewing Port

Properties” on page 75 for more information.)

Note: Note that if port optics have also failed, the amber LED will be on.

■ Invalid Attachment— The switch port is in an invalid attachment

state.

■ Link Incident— A link incident occurred on one of the ports.

■ Link Reset— The switch and the attached device are performing a link

reset operation to recover the link connection. Ordinarily, this is a transient

state.

■ No Light— No signal (light) is being received on the switch port. This is a

normal condition when there is no cable plugged into the port or when the

power of the device attached to the other end of the link is off.

■ Not installed— The port optics are not installed or the feature that

provides additional port function is not enabled.

■ Not Operational— The switch port is receiving the Fibre Channel not

operational sequence (NOS) indicating that the attached device is not

operational.

■ Online— The attached device has successfully connected to the switch and

is ready to communicate or is in the process of communicating with other

attached devices.

■ Offline— The switch port was configured as “blocked” and is

transmitting the Fibre Channel OLS to the attached device.

■ Port Failure— The switch port has failed and requires service. (A port

in the failed state cannot beacon.)

■ Segmented E_Port— The E_Port is segmented preventing the two

fabrics from joining (this only occurs when two switches are connected to

each other).

■ Testing— Port is executing an internal loopback test.

Accessing Port Statistics

Choose Monitor on the navigation panel. Choose the Port Stats tab; the Port

Stats tab view displays (Figure 31).

To display port statistics for a selected port, enter a port number in the Port

Number field and choose Get Port Statistics. (You can also choose the Back or

Fwd buttons to view the previous or next port.) The Port Statistics are divided into

Traffic Statistics, Error Statistics, Class Two Statistics, and Class Three Statistics.

(You may need to scroll down to see all of the categories.)

The information shown that displays is current as of the time when the view

displays. The information does not update automatically.

Figure 31: Port Statistics tab view

Troubleshooting Tip for Port Stats

As a general rule, you should clear all the counters by choosing Clear Port Stats

or Clear All Port Stats after you have resolved a problem. When troubleshooting,

keep track of the time interval when errors accumulate to judge the presence and

severity of a problem. (There is a link recovery hierarchy implemented in Fibre

Channel to handle some level of “expected anomalies.”) For troubleshooting

purposes, you want to focus on errors that, as displayed in the Counter column,

increment very quickly.

Error Statistics

The Error Statistics include these transmit and receive values:

■

Link failures — Number of link failures recorded because a not operational

sequence (NOS), protocol timeout, or port failure was detected.

■

Sync losses — Number of loss-of-synchronizations detected because an

attached device was reset or disconnected from the port.

Signal losses — Number of loss-of-signal errors detected because the

attached device was reset or disconnected from the port.

Primitive sequence errors — Number of primitive sequence protocol errors

received from an attached device, which indicates a Fibre Channel link-level

protocol violation.

■

Discarded frames — A received frame could not be routed and was

discarded because the frame timed out due to an insufficient buffer-to-buffer

credit, or the destination device was not logged into the product.

Invalid transmission words — Number of invalid transmission words from

an attached device. This indicates that a frame or primitive sequence arrived at

the port corrupted.

CRC errors — A received frame failed a cyclic redundancy check (CRC)

validation, indicating the frame arrived at the port corrupted. Frame

corruption may be caused by device disconnection, an optical transceiver

failure at the device, a bad fiber cable, or a poor cable connection.

■

Delimiter errors — Number of times that the switch detected an

unrecognized start-of-frame (SOF), an unrecognized end-of-frame (EOF)

delimiter, or an invalid class of service. This indicates that the frame arrived at

the switch’s port corrupted. This corruption can be due to

plugging/unplugging the link, bad optics at either end of the cable, bad cable,

or dirty or poor connections. Moving the connection around or replacing

cables can isolate the problem.

■

Address ID errors — A received frame had an unavailable or invalid Fibre

Channel destination address, or an invalid Fibre Channel source address. This

typically indicates the destination device is unavailable.

Frames too short — A received frame exceeded the Fibre Channel frame

maximum size or was less than the Fibre Channel minimum size, indicating

the frame arrived at the switch’s port corrupted. Frame corruption may be

caused by device disconnection, an optical transceiver failure at the device, a

bad fiber cable, or a poor cable connection.
