Maintenance Panel
I/O blades (IO0–IO7), CPU blades (CPU0, CPU1), Power Supply blades (PS0,
PS1), and the Fan blades (FAN0, FAN1) are identified based on where they are
installed in the chassis. The Maintenance Panel (MP) is not removable and
provides switch status and alternate access to the CPU blade LEDs and Ethernet
ports.
Maintenance Panel
The Maintenance Panel provides a status interface for the switch and alternate
are as follows:
Chassis Good LED (Green)–This LED illuminates to indicate that switch is
operational. This means that the primary CPU (CPU0) is functioning.
Chassis Power LED (Green)–This LED illuminates to indicate that at least
one CPU blade is receiving power.
Chassis Beacon LED (White)–This LED and all other Beacon LEDs
illuminate in response to a command issued from the management
workstation to help locate a switch.

1–General Description
I/O Blades
Initially, the alternate Ethernet ports are inactive, thus requiring that you make the
Ethernet connection on the primary CPU blade. You can activate the alternate
primary Ethernet port on the Maintenance Panel using QuickTools, Enterprise
Fabric Suite 2007, or the CLI.
NOTE:
You can activate both Maintenance Panel Ethernet ports or both CPU blade
I/O Blades
The I/O blades transmit and receive I/O traffic. There are three types of I/O
blades:
A 4-Gbps I/O blade has 16 Small Form-factor Pluggable (SFP+) ports and is
capable of 4-, 2-, or 1-Gbps transmission.
The optional 8-Gbps I/O blade has 16 SFP+ ports and is capable of 8-, 4-, or
2-Gbps transmission.
A 10-Gbps I/O blade has four X2 ports and is capable of 10-Gbps
transmission. 10-Gbps I/O blades are used to connect to a QLogic 5000
series switch using an X2-XPAK stacking cable, or to another QLogic 9000
Series switch using an X2-X2 stacking cable.
An I/O blade slot is known by its blade ID and is configured with a blade type. The
I/O blade IDs are a composite of the IO descriptor and slot number. For example,
the blade ID for an I/O blade in slot 0 would be IO0 and so on through IO7.
The blade type is the operating characteristic of the I/O slot that defines the
supported protocol, transmission speed, and number of ports. The switch
automatically configures the I/O slot blade type based on the installed I/O blade.
The following blade types are supported:
FC8G16–Fibre Channel 8/4/2-Gbps I/O blade
FC4G16–Fibre Channel 4/2-Gbps I/O blade
FC10G4–Fibre Channel 10-Gbps I/O blade.

I/O Blades
For example, for I/O blade IO0 with blade type FC8G16 or FC4G16, ports are
always numbered 0–15. IO1 ports would be numbered 16–31, and so on up to a
maximum of 127. For I/O blade IO0 with blade type FC10G4, ports are always
numbered 0–3. FC ports can also be identified by I/O blade and port number. For
example, port 0 is also known as IO0-0. The ports configure themselves to
communicate with devices and other switches.
Each I/O blade features a set of LEDs, Fibre Channel (FC) ports, and FC port

I/O Blade LEDs
The I/O blade LEDs are as follows:
I/O Blade Good LED (Green)–This LED illuminates to indicate that the
I/O blade is operational.
I/O Blade Power LED (Green)–This LED illuminates to indicate that the
I/O blade is receiving power.
I/O Blade Fault LED (Amber)–This LED illuminates to indicate that the
I/O blade has a fatal error. This LED and the Chassis Fault LED illuminate
together.
I/O Blade Error Code LED (Green)–This LED is reserved for future use.
I/O Blade Beacon LED (White)–This LED illuminates in response to a
command issued from the management workstation to help locate an
I/O blade.
I/O Blade Hotswap LED (Blue)–This LED illuminates to indicate the I/O
blade insertion status. Continuous illumination indicates that the I/O blade is
not fully seated.
FC Port LEDs
The FC Port LEDs are as follows:
Logged-in LED (Green)–This LED illuminates to indicate the logged-in or
initialization status of the connected devices. After successful completion of
the POST, the switch extinguishes all Logged-In LEDs. Following a
successful initialization or port login, the switch illuminates the
corresponding Logged-In LED. This shows that the port is properly
connected and able to communicate with its attached devices. The
Logged-In LED remains illuminated as long as the port is initialized or
logged in. If the port connection is broken or an error occurs that disables
the port, the Logged-In LED will extinguish. Refer to “FC Port Diagnostics”
on page 4-8 for more information about the Logged-In LED.
Activity LED (Green)–This LED illuminates to indicate that data is passing
through the port. Each frame that the port transmits or receives causes this
LED to illuminate for 50 milliseconds. This makes it possible to observe the
transmission of a single frame. When extending credits, the Activity LED for
a donor port will reflect the traffic of the recipient port. Refer to “Distance” on
page 2-3 for more information about extended credits and donor ports.

I/O Blades
Port Types
The switch supports generic ports (G_Port, GL_Port), fabric ports (F_Port,
FL_Port), and expansion ports (E_Port). Switches come from the factory with all
ports configured as GL_Ports. Generic, fabric, and expansion ports function as
follows:
A GL_Port self-configures as an FL_Port when connected to a public loop
device, as an F_Port when connected to a single public device, or as an
E_Port when connected to another switch. If the device is a single device on
a loop, the GL_Port will attempt to configure first as an F_Port, then if that
fails, as an FL_Port.
A G_Port self-configures as an F_Port when connected to a single public
device, or as an E_Port when connected to another switch.
An FL_Port supports a loop of up to 126 public devices. An FL_Port can also
configure itself during the fabric login process as an F_Port when connected
to a single public device (N_Port).
An F_Port supports a single public device. F_Ports also support N_Port ID
Virtualization (NPIV).
E_Ports enable you to expand the fabric by connecting QLogic 9000 Series
switches with other switches. QLogic 9000 Series switches self-discover all
information about multiple chassis fabrics.

I/O Blades
Transceivers and 10-Gbps Stacking Cables
SFP and X2 transceivers convert electrical signals to and from optical laser
signals to transmit and receive. SFP transceivers plug into the SFP ports; X2
transceivers plug into the X2 ports. Duplex fiber optic cables plug into the
transceivers, which then connect to the devices. An SFP port is capable of
transmitting at 8-Gbps, 4-Gbps, 2-Gbps, or 1-Gbps depending on the I/O blade
type; however, the transceiver must be capable of delivering at the desired rate.
10-Gbps ports transmit at 12.75-Gbps.
SFP and X2 transceivers are hot pluggable. This means that you can remove or
install a transceiver while the switch is operating without harming the switch or the
transceiver. However, communication with the connected device will be
interrupted. Refer to “Replacing Transceivers and Stacking Cables” on page 5-3
for information about installing and removing transceivers.
10-Gbps stacking cables are available to connect the QLogic 9000 Series switch
to other QLogic switches using the X2 ports.
An X2-XPAK stacking cable connects a QLogic 9000 Series switch and a
QLogic 5000 series switch.
An X2-X2 stacking cable connects two QLogic 9000 Series switches. Refer

1–General Description
CPU Blades
Ethernet Port
Each CPU blade has an Ethernet port and a serial port.The Ethernet port is an
RJ-45 connector that provides a connection to a management workstation
through a 10/100 Base-T Ethernet cable. The Ethernet port automatically
recognizes straight or cross-over cables. The default IP address for the CPU0
Ethernet port is 10.0.0.1. Initially, only the CPU0 blade Ethernet port is active.
NOTE:
If the Fault Tolerant license key is installed, the Ethernet ports on both CPU
blades are active. However, all communication is routed through the primary
CPU blade Ethernet port.
A management workstation can be a Windows®, Solaris™, Linux®, or MacOS X®
workstation that is used to configure and manage the switch fabric. You can
manage the switch over an Ethernet connection using QuickTools™, the
Command Line Interface (CLI), Enterprise Fabric Suite 2007, or SNMP. The
switch through which the fabric is managed is called the fabric management
switch.
There are alternate Ethernet ports on the Maintenance panel for each CPU blade
that are initially inactive. You can activate the primary CPU Ethernet port on the
Maintenance panel instead of the Ethernet port on the CPU blade using the
Set Setup System CLI command, QuickTools, or Enterprise Fabric Suite 2007. If
the Fault Tolerant license key is installed, you can choose to activate both CPU
blade Ethernet ports or both Maintenance Panel Ethernet ports, but not all four.
The Ethernet port has two LEDs: the Link Status LED (green) and the Activity LED
(amber). The Link Status LED illuminates continuously when an Ethernet
connection has been established. The Activity LED illuminates when data is being
transmitted or received over the Ethernet connection.

Power Supply Blades
Serial Port
The serial port is an RJ-45 connector and uses a 10/100 Base-T Ethernet straight
cable with the RJ-45/RS-232 console adapter provided with the switch. You
manage the switch through the primary CPU blade serial port using the CLI.
Inter-Chassis Connection Ports
NOTE:
You can activate the Inter-Chassis Connection ports by installing the
information about HyperStacking switches.
Each CPU has two Inter-Chassis Connection (ICC0, ICC1) ports with which to
establish a connection with another QLogic 9000 Series switch. Each ICC port is
a bundle of eight 10-Gbps Fibre Channel ports that log in to a second
QLogic 9000 Series switch. The ICC port Logged-In LEDs show the ICC port
connection status.
Power Supply Blades
The Power Supply blades convert standard 100 to 240 VAC to DC voltages for the
various switch circuits. After connecting a power supply to an AC voltage source
and placing the On/Off switch in the On position, the Power Supply blade is
energized. During normal operation, each Power Supply blade provides half of the
demand. If one Power Supply blade fails, the second Power Supply blade can
provide all of the switch power needs for a short time until the failed Power Supply
blade can be replaced. Refer to “Replacing Power Supply Blades” on page 5-16
for more information.
Power Supply blades are known to the switch firmware by their blade IDs and
blade types. The blade IDs (PS0, PS1) indicate the blade type and location in the
switch chassis. The blade types (PSFB, PSBF) indicate the blade type and air
flow direction. Air flow direction can be front-to-back or back-to-front. In addition to
the blade ID, a label on the body of the Power Supply blade indicates the air flow
direction.
CAUTION!
To prevent overheating and damage to switch circuits, Power Supply and
Fan blades must have the same air flow direction. The System Fault LED
will illuminate if the Power Supply and Fan blades do not have the same air
flow direction.

Fabric and Switch Management
Command Line Interface
The command line interface (CLI) provides monitoring and configuration functions
by which the administrator can manage the fabric and its switches. The CLI is
available over an Ethernet connection or a serial connection. Refer to the SANbox
9000 Series Stackable Chassis Switch Command Line Interface Guide for more
information.
Application Programming Interface
The Application Programming Interface (API) enables an application provider to
build a management application for QLogic switches. The library is implemented
in ANSI standard C, relying only on standard POSIX run-time libraries (except for
the Windows NT build). Contact your distributor or authorized reseller for
information about the API.
Simple Network Management Protocol
SNMP provides monitoring and trap functions for the fabric. Switch firmware
supports SNMP (versions 1, 2, and 3), the Fibre Alliance Management Information
Base (FA-MIB) version 4.0, and the Fabric Element Management Information
Base (FE-MIB) RFC 2837. Traps can be formatted using SNMP version 1 or 2.
The default configuration enables SNMP.
SNMP version 3 provides secure access to devices through a combination of
authentication and encryption. The default configuration disables SNMP version 3
security.
You can enable SNMP, configure SNMP traps, and configure SNMP version 3
security using Enterprise Fabric Suite 2007, QuickTools, or the CLI. Refer to the
SANbox Simple Network Management Protocol Reference Guide for information
about using SNMP.
Storage Management Initiative–Specification (SMI-S)
SMI-S Provides for the management of the switch through third-party applications
that use the SMI-S. Refer to the CIM Agent Reference Guide for more information.
File Transfer Protocols
File transfer between the switch and the management workstation is available
using the File Transfer Protocol (FTP) or Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP).

2 Planning
Consider the following when planning a fabric:
Devices
When planning a fabric, consider the following:
The number of devices and the anticipated demand. This will determine the
number of ports that are needed and the number of switches.
The transmission speeds of your HBAs and SFPs. The SFP ports support
1-Gbps, 2-Gbps, and 4-Gbps transmission speeds depending on the SFP.
8-Gbps I/O blades also support 8-Gbps.
NOTE:
Setting an SFP port to 1-Gbps that has an 8-Gbps SFP transceiver will down
the port.
The distribution of target and initiator devices. An F_Port supports a single
device. An FL_Port can support up to 126 devices in an arbitrated loop.

2–Planning
Device Access
Device Access
Consider device access needs within the fabric. Access is controlled by the use of
zones and zone sets. Some zoning strategies include the following:
Separate devices by operating system
Separate devices that have no need to communicate with other devices in
the fabric or have classified data.
Separate devices into department, administrative, or other functional group.
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. Zoning is hardware-enforced only when a
port/device is a member of no more than eight zones whose combined
membership does not exceed 64. If this condition is not satisfied, that port
behaves as a soft zone member. You can assign ports/devices to a zone
individually or as a group by creating an alias.
A zone can be a component of more than one zone set. Several zone sets can be
defined for a fabric, but only one zone set can be active at one time. The active
zone set determines the current fabric zoning.

The QLogic 9000 Series switch supports class 2 and class 3 Fibre Channel
service at transmission rates of 1-, 2-, 4-, 8-, and 10-Gbps with a maximum frame
size of 2148 bytes. A port adapts its transmission speed to match that of the
device to which it is connected prior to login when the connected device powers
up. Related performance characteristics include the following:
Distance
Consider the physical distribution of devices and switches in the fabric. Choose
transceivers that are compatible with the cable type, distance, Fibre Channel
information about cable types and transceivers.
Each SFP and X2 port is supported by a data buffer with a 16 credit capacity; that
is, 16 maximum sized frames. For fibre optic cables, this enables full bandwidth
over the following approximate distances:
26 kilometers at 1-Gbps (0.6 credits/Km)
13 kilometers at 2-Gbps (1.2 credits/Km)
6 kilometers at 4-Gbps (2.4 credits/km)
3 kilometers at 8-Gbps (4.8 credits/km)
2 kilometers at 10-Gbps (7.2 credits/km)
Longer distances can be spanned at full bandwidth on SFP ports and X2 ports by
extending credits to G_Ports, F_Ports, and E_Ports using Enterprise Fabric Suite
2007. Each port can donate 15 credits to a pool from which a recipient port on the
same I/O blade can borrow. The recipient port also loses a credit in the process.
For example, you can configure a recipient port to borrow 15 credits from one
donor port for a total of 30 credits (15+15=30).
Ports can borrow credits from other ports of like kind: SFP ports can borrow from
SFP ports; X2 ports can borrow from X2. However, SFP ports cannot loan or
borrow credits from X2 ports.

Bandwidth
Bandwidth is a measure of the volume of data that can be transmitted at a given
transmission rate. An SFP port can transmit or receive at nominal rates of 1-, 2-,
4-, or 8-Gbps depending on the device to which it is connected. This corresponds
to full duplex bandwidth values of 212 MB, 424 MB, 850 MB, and 1700 MB
respectively. X2 ports transmit at a nominal rate of 10-Gbps, which corresponds to
a full-duplex bandwidth value of 2550 MB.
For optimal performance, devices connected to the same I/O blade should have
the same transmission speed. Connecting devices of different transmission
speeds on the same I/O blade can reduce the maximum bandwidth by as much as
10%.
Multiple source ports can transmit to the same destination port if the destination
bandwidth is greater than or equal to the combined source bandwidth. For
example, two 2-Gbps source ports can transmit to one 4-Gbps destination port.
Similarly, one source port can feed multiple destination ports if the combined
destination bandwidth is greater than or equal to the source bandwidth.
When additional bandwidth is needed between devices, increase the number of
links between the connecting switches. The switch guarantees in-order-delivery
with any number of links between chassis.

Feature Licensing
License keys provide a way to expand the capabilities of your switch and fabric as
your needs grow. Consider your need for the following features and make
arrangements to purchase license keys from your switch distributor or authorized
reseller.
SANdoctor® provides access to the following tools:
Fibre Channel connection verification (Fcping CLI command)
Fibre Channel route tracing (Fctrace CLI command)
Transceiver diagnostic information (Show Media CLI command).
HyperStacking enables you to connect two QLogic 9000 Series switches
through the multiple 10-Gbps Inter-Chassis Connectors (ICC) allowing for up
to 256 SFP ports.
Fault Tolerance provides for automatic and manual failover of switch
management functions from the primary CPU blade to the secondary CPU
blade for switches equipped with two CPU blades.
Upgrading a switch is not disruptive, nor does it require a switch reset. To order a
license key, contact your switch distributor or your authorized reseller. Refer to
“Installing Feature License Keys” on page 3-28 for information about installing
license keys.

Multiple Chassis Fabrics
By connecting switches together you can expand the number of available ports for
devices. Each switch in the fabric is identified by a unique domain ID, and the
fabric can automatically resolve domain ID conflicts. Because the Fibre Channel
ports are self-configuring, you can connect the QLogic 9000 Series switch with
other switches in a wide variety of topologies.

Optimizing Device Performance
When choosing a topology for a multiple chassis fabric, you should also consider
the locality of your server and storage devices and the performance requirements
of your application. Storage applications such as video distribution, medical record
storage/retrieval or real-time data acquisition can have specific latency or
bandwidth requirements.
The QLogic 9000 Series switch provides the lowest latency of any product in its
bandwidth. However, the highest performance is achieved on Fibre Channel
switches by keeping traffic within a single I/O blade. Therefore, for optimal device
performance place devices on the same I/O blade under the following conditions:
Heavy I/O traffic between specific server and storage devices.
Distinct speed mismatch between devices such as the following:
An 8-Gbps server and a slower 4-Gbps storage device
A high performance server and slow tape storage device
When planning a fabric, consider how to create redundant paths and minimize
latency. Initiators and targets experience the least amount of latency when
connected to the same I/O blade. For example, connecting initiators and targets
redundant paths and minimizes latency.

Domain ID, Principal Priority, and Domain ID Lock
The following switch configuration settings affect multiple chassis fabrics:
Domain ID
Principal priority
Domain ID lock
The domain ID is a unique number from 1–239 that identifies each switch in a
fabric. The principal priority is a number (1–255) that determines the principal
switch which manages domain ID assignments for the fabric. The switch with the
highest principal priority (1 is high, 255 is low) becomes the principal switch. If the
principal priority is the same for all switches in a fabric, the switch with the lowest
WWN becomes the principal switch.
The domain ID lock allows (False) or prevents (True) the reassignment of the
domain ID on that switch. Switches come from the factory with the domain ID set
to 1, the domain ID lock set to False, and the principal priority set to 254. Refer to
the Set Config Switch command in the SANbox 9000 Series Stackable Chassis
Switch Command Line Interface Guide for information about changing the default
domain ID, domain ID lock, and principal priority parameters.
If you connect a new switch to an existing fabric with its domain ID unlocked, and
a domain ID conflict occurs, the new switch will isolate as a separate fabric.
However, you can remedy this by resetting the new switch or taking it offline then
putting it back online. The principal switch will reassign the domain ID and the
switch will join the fabric.
NOTE:
Domain ID reassignment is not reflected in zoning that is defined by domain
ID/port number pair or Fibre Channel address. You must reconfigure zones
that are affected by domain ID reassignment. To prevent zoning definitions
from becoming invalid under these conditions, lock the domain IDs.

Interconnecting QLogic 9000 Series Switches
There are three ways to interconnect QLogic 9000 Series switches. The method
you choose depends on your port count and bandwidth needs:
SFP port-to-SFP port
X2 port-to-X2 port
ICC port-to-ICC port
An SFP-port connection provides up to 1700 MB of full duplex bandwidth for a
FC8G16 I/O blade, while sacrificing an SFP port that would otherwise be available
for devices.
An X2-port connection is established using an X2-X2 stacking cable. A 10-Gbps
I/O blade is required in each switch. A 10-Gbps connection provides 2550 MB of
full duplex bandwidth while preserving the SFP ports for devices. Refer to “Install
Transceivers” on page 3-12 for more information.
ICC port connections require the HyperStacking license key on both switches and
four HyperStacking cables. Each HyperStacking cable consists of eight 10-Gbps
links connecting a CPU blade on one switch to a CPU blade on the second switch.
This provides a total of 81.6 GB of full duplex bandwidth while preserving the
information.
NOTE:
If you connect two QLogic 9000 Series switches that have the same domain
ID, the switches will isolate–there is no automatic domain ID conflict
resolution. You must explicitly change the domain ID on one of the switches.

Switch Services
Switch Services
You can configure your switch to suit the demands of your environment by
enabling or disabling a variety of switch services. Familiarize yourself with the
following switch services and determine which ones you need:
Telnet: Provides for the management of the switch over a Telnet connection.
Disabling this service is not recommended. The default is enabled.
Secure Shell (SSH): Provides for secure remote connections to the switch
using SSH. Your workstation must also use an SSH client. The default is
disabled.
GUI Management: Provides for out-of-band management of the switch with
Enterprise Fabric Suite 2007, QuickTools, the Application Programming
Interface (API), SNMP, and SMI-S. If this service is disabled, the switch can
only be managed inband or through the serial port. The default is enabled.
Inband Management: Provides for the management of the switch over an
inter-switch link using Enterprise Fabric Suite 2007, QuickTools, SNMP,
management server, or the API. If you disable inband management, you can
no longer communicate with that switch by means other than an Ethernet or
serial connection.The default is enabled.
Secure Socket Layer (SSL): Provides for secure SSL connections for
Enterprise Fabric Suite 2007, the QuickTools web applet, the API, and
SMI-S. This service must be enabled to authenticate users through a
RADIUS server when using Enterprise Fabric Suite 2007. To enable secure
SSL connections, you must first synchronize the date and time on the switch
and workstation. Enabling SSL automatically creates a security certificate on
the switch. The default is disabled.
QuickTools web applet (EmbeddedGUI): Provides for access to the
QuickTools web applet. QuickTools enables you to point at a switch with an
internet browser and manage the switch through the browser. The default is
enabled.
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP): Provides for the
management of the switch through third-party applications that use the
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP). Security consists of a read
community string and a write community string that serve as passwords that
control read and write access to the switch. These strings are set at the
factory to these well-known defaults and should be changed if SNMP is to be
enabled. Otherwise, you risk unwanted access to the switch. The switch
supports SNMP versions 1, 2, and 3. The default is enabled.
Network Time Protocol (NTP): Provides for the synchronizing of switch
and workstation dates and times with an NTP server. This helps to prevent
invalid SSL certificates and timestamp confusion in the event log. The
default is disabled.

Management Server (MS): Provides for the management of the switch
through third-party applications that use GS-3 Management Server. The
default is enabled.
Call Home: Provides for automated email notification of switch status and
operating conditions based on specified event severity levels. The Call
Home service is enabled by default. The Call Home service requires an
Ethernet connection to at least one Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP)
server. You must configure the Call Home service to do the following:
Enable primary and secondary SMTP servers and specify their IP
addresses
Specify contact information
Configure one or more Call Home profiles to specify email recipients,
message format, and the event severity level that will initiate a
message.
Furthermore, you can configure periodic event data collection and
processing through the Tech_Support_Center profile for automated status
and trend analysis. With the purchase of a Prime Service contract, you may
designate QLogic Technical Support to receive these notifications, in which
case, QLogic will contact you proactively with recommended corrective
actions whenever component failures or potential system problems are
detected. Contact [email protected] (1+952-932-4040) for assistance
with the setup process and to determine the appropriate level of monitoring
required.

Internet Protocol Support
The switch supports IP version 4, IP version 6, and Domain Name System (DNS)
host names. IP versions 4 and 6 are enabled by default. Consider your IP version
requirements and the availability of a DNS server.
Security
Security is available at the following levels:
User Account Security
User account security consists of the administration of account names,
passwords, expiration date, and authority level. If an account has Admin authority,
all management tasks can be performed by that account in the CLI, QuickTools,
and Enterprise Fabric Suite 2007. Otherwise only monitoring tasks are available.
The default account name, Admin, is the only account that can create or add
account names and change passwords of other accounts. All users can change
their own passwords. The default Admin account password is password. This
password should be changed to ensure security. Account names and passwords
are always required when connecting to a switch.
Authentication of the user account and password can be performed locally using
the switch’s user account database or it can be done remotely using a RADIUS
server such as Microsoft® RADIUS. Authenticating user logins on a RADIUS
server requires a secure management connection to the switch. Refer to
“Connection Security” on page 2-13 for information about securing the
management connection. A RADIUS server can also be used to authenticate
Consider your management needs and determine the number of user accounts,
their authority needs, and expiration dates. Also consider the advantages of
centralizing user administration and authentication on a RADIUS server.
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.

Security
IP Security
IP Security provides encryption-based security for IP version 4 and IP version 6
communications through the use of security policies and associations. Policies
can define security for host-to-host, host-to-gateway, and gateway-to-gateway
connections; one policy for each direction. For example, to secure the connection
between two hosts, you need two policies: one for outbound traffic from the
source to the destination, and another for inbound traffic to the source from the
destination.
A security association defines the encryption algorithm and encryption key to
apply when called by a security policy. A security policy may call several
associations at different times, but each association is related to only one policy.
Consider your IP security requirements.
Port Binding
Port binding provides authorization for a list of up to 32 switch and device WWNs
that are permitted to log in to a particular switch port. Switches or devices that are
not among the 32 are refused access to the port. Consider what ports to secure
and the set of switches and devices that are permitted to log in to those ports. For
information about port binding, refer to the SANbox 9000 Series Stackable
Chassis Switch Command Line Interface Guide.
Connection Security
Connection security provides an encrypted data path for switch management
methods. The switch supports the Secure Shell (SSH) protocol for the command
line interface and the Secure Socket Layer (SSL) protocol for management
applications such as Enterprise Fabric Suite 2007 and SMI-S.
The SSL handshake process between the workstation and the switch involves the
exchanging of certificates. These certificates contain the public and private keys
that define the encryption. When the SSL service is enabled, a certificate is
automatically created on the switch. The workstation validates the switch
certificate by comparing the workstation date and time to the switch certificate
creation date and time. For this reason, it is important to synchronize the
workstation and switch with the same date, time, and time zone. The switch
certificate is valid 24 hours before its creation date and 365 days after its creation
date. If the certificate should become invalid, create a new certificate using the
Create Certificate command. Refer to the SANbox 9000 Series Stackable Chassis
Switch Command Line Interface Guide for information about the Create Certificate
CLI command.

Security
Consider your requirements for connection security: for the command line
interface (SSH), management applications such as Enterprise Fabric Suite 2007
(SSL), or both. Access to the device security menu selections in Enterprise Fabric
Suite 2007 requires an SSL connection. If an SSL connection security is required,
also consider using the Network Time Protocol (NTP) to synchronize workstations
and switches.
Device Security
Device security provides for the authorization and authentication of devices that
you attach to a switch. You can configure a switch with a group of devices against
which the switch authorizes new attachments by devices, other switches, or
devices issuing management server commands. Device security is configured
through the use of security sets and groups.
A group is a list of device worldwide names that are authorized to attach to a
switch. There are three types of groups: one for other switches (ISL), another for
devices (port), and a third for devices issuing management server commands
(MS). ISL groups can be enabled for fabric binding. Fabric binding defines a list of
switch domain IDs that are permitted to join the fabric.
A security set is a set of up to three groups with no more than one of each group
type. The security configuration is made up of all security sets on the switch. The
security database has the following limits:
Maximum number of security sets is 4.
Maximum number of groups is 16.
Maximum number of members in a group is 1000.
Maximum total number of group members is 1000.
In addition to authorization, the switch can be configured to require authentication
to validate the identity of the connecting switch, device, or host. Authentication
can be performed locally using the switch’s security database, or remotely using a
Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service (RADIUS) server such as Microsoft
RADIUS. With a RADIUS server, the security database for the entire fabric
resides on the server. In this way, the security database can be managed
centrally, rather than on each switch. You can configure up to five RADIUS servers
to provide failover.
You can configure the RADIUS server to authenticate just the switch or both the
switch and the initiator device if the device supports authentication. When using a
RADIUS server, every switch in the fabric must have a network connection. A
RADIUS server can also be configured to authenticate user accounts as
required to authenticate user logins with a RADIUS server. Refer to “Connection
Security” on page 2-13 for more information.

Installing Firmware
Installing Firmware
The switch comes with current firmware installed. You can upgrade the firmware
from the management workstation as new firmware becomes available. You can
use the Enterprise Fabric Suite 2007 application, the QuickTools web applet, or
the CLI to install new firmware.
You can load and activate version 7.8 firmware on an operating switch without
disrupting data traffic or re-initializing attached devices. If you attempt to perform a
non-disruptive activation without satisfying the following conditions, the activation
will fail. If the non-disruptive activation fails, you will usually be prompted to try
again later. Otherwise, the switch will perform a disruptive activation.
The current firmware version permits the installation and non-disruptive
activation of the new firmware. Refer to the Firmware Release Notes for
previous compatible firmware versions.
No changes are being made to switches in the fabric including powering up,
powering down, disconnecting or connecting ISLs, changing switch
configurations, or installing firmware.
No port in the fabric is in the diagnostic state.
No Zoning Edit sessions are open in the fabric.
No changes are being made to attached devices including powering up,
powering down, disconnecting, connecting, and HBA configuration changes.
Install firmware on one switch at a time in the fabric. If you are installing firmware
on one switch, wait 120 seconds after the activation is complete before installing
firmware on a second switch.
Ports that are stable when the non-disruptive activation begins and then change
states, will be reset. When the non-disruptive activation is complete, Enterprise
Fabric Suite 2007 and QuickTools sessions reconnect automatically. However,
Telnet sessions must be restarted manually.
NOTE:
After upgrading firmware that includes changes to QuickTools, an open
QuickTools session may indicate that the firmware is not supported. This
means the new firmware is not supported by the previous QuickTools
version. To correct this, close the QuickTools session and the browser
window, then open a new QuickTools session.

4 Diagnostics/Troubleshooting
This section describes how to recognize, diagnose, and correct problems.
Diagnostic information about the switch is available through the various switch
LEDs and through the Enterprise Fabric Suite 2007, QuickTools, and CLI event
logs and error displays.
The Maintenance Panel presents the Chassis Fault LED as a general index to the
switch operational status. The Chassis Fault LED illuminates to indicate faults that
have occurred on the CPU blades, I/O blades, Power Supply blades, and Fan
blades. The corresponding Fault LED on the blade illuminates to indicate the
source of the problem. Following the Fault LEDs to the source and then observing
the other LEDs on the blade can provide helpful information. Supporting
information from the Enterprise Fabric Suite 2007, QuickTools, or the CLI provide
more detailed information.
The following topics describe the Power-on Self Test and the various component
diagnostics, concluding with switch recovery.

Power-On Self Test
Power-On Self Test
The switch performs a Power-On Self Test (POST) as part of its power-up
procedure. The POST diagnostic program performs the following tests:
Checksum tests on the boot firmware in PROM and the switch firmware in
flash memory
Internal data loopback test on all ports
Access and integrity test on the ASIC
During the POST, the switch logs any errors encountered. If there are no errors,
the CPU Heartbeat LED blinks at a steady rate of once per second. If a fatal error
occurs, the Chassis Fault LED illuminates and the CPU Heartbeat LED may show
an error code blink pattern.
Error Code Blink Patterns
The CPU Heartbeat LED indicates the operational status of the switch. When the
POST completes with no errors, the CPU Heartbeat LED blinks at steady rate of
once per second. When the switch is in maintenance mode, the Heartbeat LED
on page 4-15 for more information about maintenance mode. All other blink
patterns indicate critical errors.

E_Port Isolation
A Logged-In LED error indication is often the result of E_Port isolation. An isolated
E_Port is indicated by a red link in the Enterprise Fabric Suite 2007 topology
display. E_Port isolation can be caused by the following:
Security failure
FL_Port is connected to another switch
Conflicting domain IDs
Conflicting timeout values
Conflicting zone membership between active zone sets
Refer to the SANbox 9000 Series Enterprise Fabric Suite 2007 User Guide or the
SANbox 9000 Series Stackable Chassis Switch Command Line Interface Guide
for information about how to change domain IDs, timeout values, and edit zoning.
Review the event browser and do the following to diagnose and correct an
isolated E_Port:
1.
2.
3.
Does the event browser show an invalid attach alarm for the affected port?
Yes - Review the ISL group in the active security set to ensure that the
membership includes the necessary ports and that the secrets on all
switches are correct.
No - Continue.
Does the event browser show a repeating alarm about an unsupported
E_Port command on the affected port?
Yes - The port is configured as an FL_Port and connected to another
switch. Correct the port connection or the port type.
No - Continue.
Display the fabric domain IDs using the Show Domains command or the
Switch data tab in the Enterprise Fabric Suite 2007 topology display. Are all
domain IDs in the fabric unique?
Yes - Continue.
No - Correct the domain IDs on the offending switches using the Set
Config Switch command or the Enterprise Fabric Suite 2007 Switch
Properties window. Reset the port. If the condition remains, continue.

Compare the RA_TOV and ED_TOV timeout values for all switches in the
fabric using the Show Config Switch command or the Switch data tab of the
Enterprise Fabric Suite 2007 topology display. Are the timeout values the
same?
Yes - Continue.
No - Correct the timeout values on the offending switches using the
Set Config Switch command or the Enterprise Fabric Suite 2007
Switch Properties dialog. Reset the port. If the condition remains,
continue.
5.
Display the active zone set on each switch using the Zoning Active
command or the Active Zoneset tab of the Enterprise Fabric Suite 2007
topology display. Compare the zone membership between the two active
zone sets. Are they the same?
Yes - Contact your authorized maintenance provider.
No - Deactivate one of the active zone sets or edit the conflicting zones
so that their membership is the same. Reset the port. If the condition
remains, contact your authorized maintenance provider.
NOTE:
This can be caused by merging two fabrics whose active zone
sets have two zones with the same name, but different
membership.
Excessive Port Errors
The switch monitors a set of port errors and generates alarms based on
user-defined sample windows and thresholds. These port errors include the
following:
Device CRC errors
Device decode errors
Device ISL connection count
Device login errors
Device logout errors
Device loss-of-signal errors
Port threshold alarm monitoring is disabled by default. Refer to the SANbox 9000
Series Enterprise Fabric Suite 2007 User Guide for information about managing
port threshold alarms.

FC Port Diagnostics
If the count for any of these errors exceeds the rising trigger for three consecutive
sample windows, the switch generates an alarm and disables the affected port,
changing its operational state to “down”. Port errors can be caused by the
following:
Triggers are too low or the sample window is too small
Faulty Fibre Channel port cable
Faulty SFP
Faulty port
Fault device or HBA
Review the event browser to determine if excessive port errors are responsible for
disabling the port. Look for a message that mentions one of the monitored error
types indicating that the port has been disabled, then do the following:
1.
Examine the alarm configuration for the associated error using the
Show Config Threshold command or a management application. Are the
thresholds and sample window correct?
Yes - Continue
No - Correct the alarm configuration. If the condition remains, continue.
2.
Reset the port, then perform an external port loopback test to validate the
port and the SFP. Does the port pass the test?
Yes - Continue
No - Replace the SFP and repeat the test. If the port does not pass the
test, contact your authorized maintenance provider. Otherwise
continue.
3.
4.
Replace the Fibre Channel port cable. Is the problem corrected?
Yes - Complete.
No - Continue.
Inspect the device to which the affected port is connected and confirm that
the device and its HBA are working properly. Make repairs and corrections
as needed. If the condition remains, contact your authorized maintenance
provider.

Replacing Power Supply Blades
Replacing Power Supply Blades
You can remove or install one of the two functioning power supply blades without
disrupting service. The Power Supply blades are interchangeable; that is, a Power
Supply blade will fit in any bay. Power Supply blades can have front-to-back or
back-to-front air flow; however both Power Supply blades and Fan blades must
have the same air flow direction.
WARNING!!
The Power Supply blade faceplate and internal surfaces can become very
hot. Handle with care.
Voltage is present in an open slot when the switch is operating. To avoid
personal injury or damage to surrounding components, do not place hands
or objects into an open slot.
AVERTISSEMENT!!
La plaque frontale du module d'alimentation et des surfaces internes
peuvent s'échauffer très rapidement. Manipuler avec précaution.
Lorsque le commutateur est en marche, la rainure ouverte est sous tension.
Pour éviter toute blessure personnelle ou dommage aux composants
environnants, ne pas placer les mains ou des objets dans une rainure
ouverte.
WARNUNG!!
Die Frontabdeckung des Stromversorgungsmoduls und die
Innenoberflächen können sehr heiß werden. Vorsichtig behandeln.
In einem offenen Steckplatz ist Spannung vorhanden, wenn der Switch in
Betrieb ist. Zur Vermeidung von Verletzung oder Beschädigung von
Komponenten in der Umgebung weder die Finger noch irgendwelche
Objekte in einen offenen Steckplatz einführen.
¡ADVERTENCIA!
