Switch LEDs and controls
The switch LEDs provide information about the switch’s operational status. These LEDS include the Input
Power LED (green), Heartbeat LED (green), and the System Fault LED (amber) (Figure 2). For information
about port LEDs, see ”Port LEDs” on page 15. The Maintenance button (Figure 2) is the only switch control.
It is used to reset a switch or to recover a disabled switch. To apply power to the switch, plug the power
cord into the switch AC power receptacle, located on the back of the switch, and into a 100–240 VAC
power source.

Input power LED (green)
The Input Power LED indicates the voltage status at the switch logic circuitry. During normal operation, this
LED illuminates to indicate that the switch logic circuitry is receiving the proper DC voltages. When the
switch is in maintenance mode, this LED is extinguished.
Heartbeat LED (green)
The Heartbeat LED indicates the status of the internal switch processor and the results of the POST.
Following a normal power-up, the Heartbeat LED blinks about once per second to indicate that the switch
passed the POST and that the internal switch processor is running. In maintenance mode, the Heartbeat
System fault LED (amber)
The System Fault LED illuminates to indicate that a fault exists in the switch firmware or hardware. Fault
conditions include POST errors, over-temperature conditions, and power supply malfunctions. The
Heartbeat LED shows a blink code for POST errors and over-temperature conditions. For more information,

Maintenance button
The Maintenance button (Figure 2) is a dual-function momentary switch on the front panel. Its purpose is to
reset the switch or to place the switch in maintenance mode. Maintenance mode sets the IP address to
10.0.0.1 and provides access to the switch for maintenance purposes when flash memory or the resident
configuration file is corrupted. For more information, see ”Recovering a switch using maintenance mode”
Resetting a switch
To reset the switch, press and hold the Maintenance button with a pointed tool for less than 2 seconds. The
switch will respond as follows:
1. All the switch LEDs will illuminate except the System Fault LED.
2. After approximately 1 minute, the power-on self test (POST) begins, extinguishing the Heartbeat LED.
3. When the POST is complete, the Input Power LED is illuminated and the Heartbeat LED is flashing once
per second.
Placing the switch in maintenance mode
To place the switch in maintenance mode:
1. Isolate the switch from the fabric.
2. Press and hold the Maintenance button with a pointed tool for a few seconds until only the Heartbeat
off, then release the button. The Heartbeat LED illuminates continuously while the switch is in
maintenance mode.
To exit maintenance mode and return to normal operation, press and release the Maintenance button
momentarily to reset the switch.

Fibre Channel ports
The HP StorageWorks SN6000 Fibre Channel Switch has 20 Fibre Channel Small Form-Factor Pluggable
(SFP) ports and four Fibre Channel XPAK ports. SFP ports are numbered 0–19 (Figure 3). Each SFP port is
served by an SFP optical transceiver and is capable of 1, 2, 4, or 8 Gb/s transmission. SFP ports are
hot-pluggable and can self-discover both the port type and transmission speed when connected to devices
or other switches. The port LEDs are located above ports 0–9 and below ports 10–19, and provide port
login and activity status information.
The XPAK ports are numbered 20–23 (Figure 3). Each XPAK port is served by an XPAK optical transceiver
or an XPAK switch stacking cable. An XPAK port is capable of 10 Gb/s (actual data transmission
bandwidth 12.75 Gb/s) or 20 Gb/s (actual data transmission bandwidth 25.5 Gb/s) with the optional
license key. XPAK ports are hot-pluggable and can self-discover transmission speed when connected to
other switches. The XPAK switch stacking cable is a passive cable and transceiver assembly for connecting
to other XPAK-capable switches. The XPAK ports come with covers that must be removed before installing
transceivers or cables. XPAK port LEDs are located to the left of their respective ports and provide port
login and activity status.
NOTE: Setting a Fibre Channel port that has an 8 Gb/s SFP transceiver to 1 Gb/s downs the port.

Port Logged-in LED (green)
The Logged-in LED indicates 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 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
Port Activity LED (green)
The Activity LED indicates that data is passing through the port. Each frame that the port transmits or
receives illuminates this LED for 50 milliseconds. This makes it possible to observe the transmission of a
single frame.
Transceivers
The HP StorageWorks SN6000 Fibre Channel Switch supports SFP optical transceivers for the SFP ports
and XPAK optical transceivers or XPAK stacking cables for the XPAK ports. A transceiver converts electrical
signals to and from optical laser signals to transmit and receive data. Duplex fiber optic cables plug into
the SFP transceivers which then connect to the devices. An SFP port is capable of transmitting at 1-, 2-, 4-,
or 8-Gb/s; however, the transceiver must also be capable of delivering at these rates.
The SFP and XPAK 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 is interrupted. For information about installing and removing SFP+ optical

Description
GL_Port
Generic loop port—self-configures as an FL_Port when connected to a
loop device, as an F_Port when connected to a single 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.
G_Port
FL_Port
Generic port—self-configures as an F_Port when connected to a single
device, or as an E_Port when connected to another switch.
Fabric loop port—supports a loop of up to 126 devices. An FL_Port can
also configure itself during the fabric login process as an F_Port when
connected to a single device (N_Port).
F_Port
E_Port
Fabric port—supports a single device.
Expansion port—expands the fabric by connecting SN6000 or 8/20q
Fibre Channel switches. The SN6000 Fibre Channel Switch self-discovers
all inter-switch connections. For more information, see ”Multiple switch
TR_Port
Transparent routing port—expands the fabric by connecting an SN6000
Fibre Channel Switch to an HP StorageWorks B-series or C-series remote

Ethernet port
The Ethernet port is an RJ-45 connector that provides a connection to a workstation through a 10/100
configure and manage the switch fabric. An Ethernet connection to the switch is required to manage the
switch using the CLI, QuickTools, Simple SAN Connection Manager, or Simple Network Management
Protocol (SNMP).
The Ethernet port has two LEDs: the Link Status LED (green) and the Activity LED (green). 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 supplies and fans
The SN6000 Fibre Channel Switch - Single Power Supply has a single power supply that converts
100–240 VAC to DC voltages for the various switch circuits. Internal fans provide cooling. The switch
monitors internal air temperature, and therefore does not monitor or report fan operational status. Air flow
is front-to-back. To energize the switch, plug the power cord into the switch AC receptacle and into a
100–240 VAC power source.
The SN6000 Fibre Channel Switch - Dual Power Supply has two hot-pluggable power supplies that convert
standard 100–240 VAC to DC voltages for the various switch circuits. Each power supply has an AC
• The Power Supply Status LED (green) illuminates to indicate that the power supply is receiving AC
voltage and producing the proper DC voltages.
• The Power Supply Fault LED (amber) illuminates to indicate that a power supply fault exists and requires
attention.

Each power supply is capable of providing all of the switch’s power needs. During normal operation, each
power supply provides half of the demand. If one power supply goes offline, the second power supply
steps up and provides the difference.
The power supplies are hot-pluggable and interchangeable. Hot-pluggable means that you can remove
and replace one power supply while the switch is in operation without disrupting service. See ”Transceiver
Connecting a power supply to an AC voltage source energizes the switch logic circuitry. Internal fans
provide cooling. Air flow is front-to-back.
Switch management
The switch supports the following management tools and protocols:
QuickTools web applet
QuickTools is a browser-based graphical user interface (GUI) that provides switch management
capabilities beyond those of Simple SAN Connection Manager. You run QuickTools by opening the switch
IP address with an internet browser on your workstation. See the HP StorageWorks SN6000 Fibre Channel
Switch QuickTools Switch Management User Guide. QuickTools provides the following management
features:
• Faceplate device management
• Switch stack management
• Switch and port statistics
• Configuration wizard
• Zoning administration
• Fabric tree for fabric management
• User account configuration
• Switch and fabric events
• Operational and environmental statistics
• Global device nicknames
• Inband management of other switches in the fabric
• Online help
Simple SAN Connection Manager
HP StorageWorks Simple SAN Connection Manager is a GUI-based management application for HP
StorageWorks that runs on a workstation known as the management station. It provides basic automated
configuration and management of switches, HBAs, and storage devices.Simple SAN Connection Manager
version 3.0 or later is required for the HP SN6000 Fibre Channel Switch.
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. For more information, see the HP StorageWorks SN6000 Fibre Channel Switch
Command Line Interface Guide.
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
Simple Network Management Protocol
SNMP provides monitoring and trap functions for the fabric. The 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.
SNMP version 3 provides secure access to devices through a combination of authentication and
encryption. You can enable SNMP, configure SNMP traps, and configure SNMP version 3 security using
the command line interface or QuickTools.
Storage Management Initiative–Specification (SMI-S)
SMI-S provides for the management of the switch through third-party applications that use the SMI-S. For
more information, see the HP StorageWorks 8/20q and SN6000 Fibre Channel Switch CIM Agent
Reference Guide.
File transfer protocols
FTP and TFTP provide the command line interface for exchanging files between the switch and the
workstation. These files include firmware image files, configuration files, and log files. For more information
about FTP and TFTP, see the HP StorageWorks SN6000 Fibre Channel Switch Command Line Interface
Guide.

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 in turn the number of switches.
• The transmission speeds of your HBAs, SFPs, and XPAKs. The switch supports 2 Gb/s, 4 Gb/s and 8
Gb/s transmission speeds with SFPs. The transmission speed for XPAKs is 10 Gb/s or 20 Gb/s when
enabled by installation of the SN6000 Stackable 20Gb ISL Upgrade LTU.
IMPORTANT: Setting a Fibre Channel port that has an 8 Gb/s SFP transceiver to 1 Gb/s downs the port.
• The distribution of targets and initiators. An F_Port supports a single device. An FL_Port can support up
to 126 devices in an arbitrated loop.
Device access
Consider device access needs within the fabric. Access is controlled by the use of zoning. Some zoning
strategies include the following:
• Separating devices by operating system
• Separating devices that have no need to communicate with other devices in the fabric or have
classified data
• Separating 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.

A zoning database is maintained on each switch. Table 4 describes the zoning database limits, excluding
the active zone set.

Performance
The SN6000 Fibre Channel Switch supports class 2 and class 3 Fibre Channel service at transmission rates
of 8 Gb/s with a maximum frame size of 2,148 bytes. Related performance characteristics include the
following:
Distance
Consider the physical distribution of devices and switches in the fabric. Choose SFP transceivers that are
compatible with the cable type, distance, Fibre Channel revision level, and the device host bus adapter.
Each Fibre Channel 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 approximately 3 kilometers at 8 Gb/s (4.8
credits/km).
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 Gb/s 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. XPAK ports transmit at a nominal rate of 10 Gb/s which corresponds to a full duplex
bandwidth value of 2550 MB. With an SN6000 Stackable 20Gb ISL Upgrade LTU, XPAK ports can
transmit at a nominal rate of 20 Gb/s (5100 MB bandwidth)
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 Gb/s source ports can transmit to one 4
Gb/s 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.
In multiple chassis fabrics, each link between chassis contributes 424, 850, 1700, 2550 or 5100
megabytes of bandwidth between those chassis, depending on the speed of the link. 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 licenses
A license key provides a way to expand the capabilities of your switch and fabric as your needs grow. The
HP StorageWorks SN6000 Stackable 20Gb ISL Upgrade LTU enables the XPAK ports to transmit at 20
Gb/s instead of the default 10 Gb/s. Applying a license key is not disruptive, nor does it require a switch
reset. To order a license key, contact your switch distributor or your authorized reseller. For more
Multiple switch fabrics
By connecting switches to one another, 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 SN6000 Fibre Channel
Switches together in a wide variety of topologies. When planning your fabric, consider your topology and
cabling requirements. Transparent routing to a legacy fabric is also possible using TR_Ports.
For more information about Storage Area Network (SAN) connectivity, see the SAN Design Reference
The following topics describe important aspects of multiple switch fabrics:
Optimizing device performance
When choosing a topology for a multiple switch fabric, you should also consider the proximity 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 SN6000 Fibre Channel Switch provides the lowest latency of any product in its class. For information
Channel switches by keeping traffic within a single switch instead of relying on ISLs. Therefore, for optimal
device performance, place devices on the same switch 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 Gb/s server and a slower 4 Gb/s storage device
• A high performance server and a slow tape storage device

Domain ID, principal priority, and domain ID lock
The following switch configuration settings affect multiple switch 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 Worldwide Name
(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. For information about changing the default domain ID, domain ID lock, and
principal priority parameters, see the set config switchcommand in the HP StorageWorks SN6000
Fibre Channel Switch Command Line Interface Guide.
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. 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. Domain ID
reassignment has no effect on zone members defined by WWN.
Stacking
You can connect up to six HP StorageWorks SN6000 Fibre Channel Switches together through the XPAK
ports, thus preserving the SFP ports for devices. This is called stacking. The following 2-, 3-, 4-, 5-, and
6-switch stacking configurations are recommended for best performance and redundancy. Each XPAK port
contributes 12.75 GB of bandwidth between chassis in each direction. This is equivalent to three SFP
connections operating at 4 Gb/s. If you upgrade the XPAK ports to 20 Gb/s, this is equivalent to three
SFP connections operating at 8 Gb/s. Figure 8 shows a two-switch stack of model SN6000 switches using
two 3-inch XPAK switch stacking cables. 40 SFP ports are available for devices.

Common topologies
Although HP recommends using the XPAK stacking ports to achieve the highest cabling efficiency and
bandwidth, you can also create multiple switch configurations using the SFP ports. The HP StorageWorks
SN6000 Fibre Channel Switch switch supports the following topologies using the SFP ports:
• Cascaded fabric topology
• Ring fabric topology
• Meshed fabric topology
• Core-edge fabric topology
For additional information about topologies and Storage Area Network (SAN) connectivity, see the SAN
Transparent routing
IMPORTANT: The Simple SAN Connection Manager (SSCM) application can manage SN6000 Fibre
Channel Switches with active TR_Ports; however, SSCM cannot manage or discover remote switches or
devices in the remote fabric. Use QuickTools and the storage management interface to present Logical Unit
Numbers (LUNs) to remote devices. SSCM displays the remote fabric as a grayed-out switch, and no
management can be performed. SSCM version 3.0 or later is required for the HP SN6000 Fibre Channel
Switch. SSCM version 2.0 and earlier versions do not support the management of fabrics that include
switches with active TR_Ports and may disrupt communication between an SN6000 or 8/20q Fibre
Channel Switch and the remote fabric.
\
The transparent routing feature provides inter-fabric routing to allow controlled and limited access between
devices on a SN6000 Fibre Channel Switch (local) fabric and devices on a remote fabric consisting of
B-series or C-series switches. For a list of switches that are supported in a remote fabric, see the HP
StorageWorks SN6000 Fibre Channel Switch Release Notes, and the HP StorageWorks SAN Design
connection uses the Fibre Channel industry N-Port ID Virtualization (NPIV), and makes local and remote
devices accessible to each other while maintaining the local and remote fabrics as separate fabrics.

You can connect multiple SN6000 Fibre Channel Switches to one or more remote fabrics using multiple
TR_Ports. Local and remote devices are identified by their respective port worldwide names. Consider the
following mapping rules:
• A TR_Port can support a maximum of 32 local device/remote device mappings.
• A specific local device can be mapped to devices on only one remote fabric. Local devices on the same
SN6000 Fibre Channel Switch can each be mapped to different remote fabrics.
• For mappings between a specific SN6000 Fibre Channel Switch and a remote fabric, each local
device or remote device can be mapped over only one TR_Port. Additional mappings to either device
must use that same TR_Port.
• Multiple local devices connected to different local switches can be mapped to the same remote device
over one TR_Port on each local switch.
• A local device cannot be mapped over an E_Port to another local switch, then over a TR_Port to the
remote device. The local switch to which the local device is connected must connect directly to the
remote fabric over a TR_Port.
NOTE: When a local device is mapped over a TR_Port to a remote device, the local device and its
TR_Port appear as an NPIV connected device in the remote fabric. It is possible, though not
recommended, to map such a local device over a second TR_Port to a local device in a second
local fabric. In this case, if you merge the two local fabrics, the transparent route becomes inactive
for the devices that now have a path over an ISL, and an alarm is generated.
You can configure transparent routing using QuickTools or the CLI, though QuickTools is recommended
because it validates your entries, manages the zone mapping for the local fabric, and creates a list of
zoning commands that can be run in a script on a HP StorageWorks B-series or C-series SAN switch. For
more detailed information, see the HP StorageWorks SN6000 Fibre Channel Switch QuickTools Switch
Management User Guide and the HP StorageWorks SN6000 Fibre Channel Switch Command Line
Interface Guide.
IMPORTANT: Since C-series switches do not support the Unzoned Name Server, C-series fabrics must be
“pre-zoned” before you can set up TR mappings to a remote C-series fabric using the TR Mapping
Manager dialog box. The C-series fabric zoneset must be changed to add zones so that the WWNs of the
remote devices to be mapped and the WWNs of the SN6000 Fibre Channel Switch TR ports are zoned
together. For more information, see the C-series documentation for specific information to configure zoning.
Retain these zones in the zoneset after completion of the TR mapping as a best practice, until you no
longer need to map the device to the local fabric.
To configure transparent routing using QuickTools:
1. Determine what devices on the local fabric require access to devices on the remote fabric. Local devices
must be attached directly to the SN6000 Fibre Channel Switch.
2. Configure one or more TR_Ports on the local SN6000 Fibre Channel Switch first and then connect the
TR_Port to the remote fabric. QuickTools prompts you to configure TR_Ports where existing port
connections to remote fabrics have isolated. For remote HP StorageWorks B-series or C-series fabrics,
the switch to which the TR_Port connects must support N-Port ID Virtualization (NPIV) and for B-series
fabrics the interoperability mode must be configured to InteropMode=0. Other B-series or C-series
switches in the remote fabric need not support NPIV.
NOTE: Be sure to configure the TR_Port before connecting the remote fabric to the HP
StorageWorks SN6000 Fibre Channel Switch. If the remote fabric is connected to a port on the HP
StorageWorks SN6000 Fibre Channel Switch that is not a TR_Port, the two fabrics may establish an
E_Port connection and the local and remote fabrics may merge. This mixed fabric is not a supported
configuration. If the port type is changed to TR_Port after connecting the remote fabric, a port reset
may be required to completely establish the TR connection.

3. Map local devices to remote devices and activate the connection. The QuickTools mapping process
creates an inter-fabric zone (IFZ) in the active zone set consisting of the local device, the remote device,
and the TR_Port. When the mapping is complete, QuickTools activates the new zone set.
The name of the inter-fabric zone begins with IFZ followed by the lowest device port WWN followed by
the remaining port WWN, all uppercase, separated by underscores (_). For example, consider the
following local and remote device WWNs:
• Local device: 21:00:00:e0:8b:0e:d3:59
• Remote device: 22:00:00:04:cf:a8:7f:2d
The inter-fabric zone name would be:
IFZ_210000E08B0ED359_22000004CFA87F2D
4. Apply the same inter-fabric zone that was created on the local fabric to the active zoning on the remote
fabric. QuickTools creates a suggested list of commands during the mapping process that, when run on
a remote fabric consisting of HP StorageWorks B-series or C-series switches, will make the necessary
zoning changes to the remote fabric. See the HP StorageWorks SN6000 Fibre Channel Switch
QuickTools Switch Management User Guide for important details on creating and using this list of
suggested commands. When modifications to the active zoning on both fabrics are complete, the
transparent routing connection becomes active, and the local devices will discover the remote devices.
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 Simple SAN Connection
Manager, QuickTools, 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 Simple
SAN Connection Manager, QuickTools, SNMP, or management server. 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 the QuickTools web applet and
SMI-S. This service must be enabled to authenticate users through a Remote Authentication Dial-in
Service (RADIUS) server. To enable secure SSL connections, you must first synchronize the date and time
on the switch and the 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 configuration enables SNMP and disables SNMP
version 3 security.
• Common Information Model (CIM): Provides for the management of the switch through third-party
applications that use the Storage Management Initiative–Specification (SMI-S). The default is enabled.
• File Transfer Protocol (FTP): Provides for transferring files rapidly between the workstation and the switch
using FTP. The default is enabled.
• Management Server (MS): Enables or disables the management of the switch through third-party
applications that use FC-GS-3 Management Server. The default is disabled.

• Call Home:
IMPORTANT: The Call Home service provides an e-mail notification capability for the switch. This
service has no relationship with the HP Call Home feature, which notifies only HP services.
Provides for automated e-mail notification of switch status and operating conditions based on specified
event severity levels. The default is enabled. 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 e-mail recipients, message format, and the event
severity level that will initiate a message. In addition, you can configure periodic event data collection
and processing through the Tech_Support_Center profile for automated status and trend analysis.

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 Simple SAN Connection Manager. 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. 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. For information about
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. Use the CLI to configure RADIUS servers. For more information about RADIUS server
configuration, see the HP StorageWorks SN6000 Fibre Channel Switch Command Line Interface Guide.
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.
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 which 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. When planning IP security, consider the connections to be secured and the
encryption methods to be used.
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. Use the CLI to configure port binding. For more information about port binding configuration, see
the HP StorageWorks SN6000 Fibre Channel 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 QuickTools and SMI-S. Use the CLI to configure SSH and SSL. For
more information about SSH and SSL configuration, see the HP StorageWorks SN6000 Fibre Channel
Switch Command Line Interface Guide.

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 certificateCLI
command. For information about the create certificateCLI command, see the HP StorageWorks
SN6000 Fibre Channel Switch Command Line Interface Guide.
Consider your requirements for connection security: for the command line interface (SSH), management
applications (SSL), or both. 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. Use the CLI to configure device security. For more information
about device security configuration, see the HP StorageWorks SN6000 Fibre Channel Switch Command
Line Interface Guide.
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).
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 1,000.
• Maximum total number of group members is 1,000.
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 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
described in ”User account security” on page 30. A secure connection is required to authenticate user
Consider the devices, switches, and management agents and evaluate the need for authorization and
authentication. Also consider whether the security database is to be distributed on the switches or
centralized on a RADIUS server and how many servers to configure. Use the CLI to configure RADIUS
servers. For more information about RADIUS server configuration, see the HP StorageWorks SN6000 Fibre
Channel Switch Command Line Interface Guide.

Fabric management
The Simple SAN Connection Manager application is a GUI-based management application for HP
StorageWorks that runs on the management station. It provides basic automated configuration and
management of switches, HBAs, and storage devices. Switch management functions include IP address
configuration and limited control of zoning. Simple SAN Connection Manager version 3.0 or later is
required for the HP SN6000 Fibre Channel Switch.
The browser-based application, QuickTools, and the CLI reside in the switch firmware and provide for the
management of individual switches in a single fabric.
Consider how many fabrics and switches will be managed, how many workstations are needed, and
whether the fabrics will be managed with Simple SAN Connection Manager, QuickTools, or the CLI.
A switch supports a combined maximum of 19 logins, which are reserved as follows:
• 4 logins or sessions for internal applications, such as management server and SNMP
• 9 high priority Telnet sessions
• 6 logins or sessions for Simple SAN Connection Manager inband and out-of-band logins, QuickTools
logins, and Telnet logins.
Additional logins will be refused.

Installing a SN6000 Fibre Channel Switch involves the following steps:
Mount the switch
The switch can be placed on a flat surface and stacked, or mounted in a 19” Electronics Industries
specifications. Adhesive rubber feet are provided for surface mounts only. Without the rubber feet, the
switch occupies 1U of space in an EIA rack.
The rack mount kit is supported with the following HP custom racks only:
• HP 9000 Series Rack
• HP 10000 Series Rack
• HP 10000 G2 Series Rack
Before you begin
WARNING! To reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to the equipment, ensure that:
• In single-rack installations, stabilizing feet are attached to the rack.
• In multiple-rack installations, racks are coupled together.
• Leveling jacks on the rack are extended to the floor.
• The full weight of the rack rests on the leveling jacks.
• Heavy items, such as uninterruptible power supplies and hard drive storage enclosures, are installed
near the bottom of the rack.
• Similar components are installed next to each other in the rack. Because devices are of differing
depths, this will facilitate maintenance and service tasks.
• Only one device in a rack is extended at a time. A rack may become unstable if more than one device
is extended.
CAUTION:
• For proper airflow, the SFP+ media side (port side) of the device must face the front of the rack.
Mounting the switch in this direction allows air to enter from the front of the rack (SFP-port side of
switch) and exhaust through the back of the rack (power-supply side of switch). This prevents
overheating, which may cause equipment in the rack to fail.
• Allow a minimum of 63.5 cm (25 in.) clearance in front of the rack to allow the doors to open fully, and
76.2 cm (30 in.) in back of the rack to allow for servicing and airflow.
• If the device is mounted in a closed rack or there are multiple rack-mounted devices, make sure that the
operating temperature inside the rack enclosure does not exceed the maximum rated ambient
temperature.
• Multiple rack-mounted devices connected to the same AC supply circuit may overload that circuit or the
AC supply wiring. Consider the power source capacity and the total power usage of all switches on the
circuit.
• Reliable grounding in the rack must be maintained.

Install the transceivers
A small form-factor pluggable (SFP) transceiver is required for each switch port connected to a device or
another switch. SFPs are not included with the switch. An XPAK transceiver is required for each switch 10
Gb/s port connected to the 10 Gb/s port of another switch. Only HP transceivers are supported for use in
the switch. To install an transceiver, insert the transceiver into any of the active switch ports and gently press
until it snaps in place. To remove a transceiver, gently press the transceiver into the port to release the
tension, then pull on the release tab or lever and remove the transceiver.
TIP: The transceiver fits only one way. If the transceiver is not installed under gentle pressure, invert it and
try again. A new switch has all ports active.
Configure the workstation
NOTE: If you plan to use Simple SAN Connection Manager or QuickTools to manage the switch,
If you plan to use the CLI to configure and manage the switch, you must configure the workstation. This
involves setting the workstation IP address for Ethernet connections, or configuring the workstation serial
port.

following content.
pr portdev/ttyS0
pu minit
pu mreset
pu mhangup
b. Verify that all users have permission to run minicom. Review the /etc/minicom.usersfile and
confirm that the line ALLexists or that there are specific user entries.
Apply power to the switch
WARNING! This product is supplied with a 3-wire power cable and plug for the user’s safety. Use this
power cable in conjunction with a properly grounded outlet to avoid electrical shock. An electrical outlet
that is not correctly wired could place hazardous voltage on metal parts of the switch. It is the responsibility
of the customer to ensure that the outlet is correctly wired and grounded to prevent electrical shock.
You may require a different power cable in some countries because the plug on the cable supplied with the
equipment will not fit your electrical outlet. In this case, you must supply your own power cable. The cable
you use must meet the following requirements:
• For 125 Volt electrical service, the cable must be rated at 10 Amps and be approved by Underwriters
Laboratories (UL) and Canadian Standards Association (CSA).
• For 250 Volt electrical service: The cable must be rated at 10 Amps, meet the requirements of H05VV-F,
and be approved by Verband der Elektrotechnik (VDE), SEMKO, and DEMKO.
To power up a SN6000 Fibre Channel Switch, attach the AC power cord to the receptacle on the back of
the switch and to the power source.
The switch runs its self-tests and begins normal operation—this may take a few minutes:
1. The switch LEDs (Input Power, Heartbeat, System Fault) illuminate followed by all port Logged-in LEDs.
The Logged-in LEDs that illuminate indicate the ports that are enabled.
2. After a couple of seconds, the System Fault LED is extinguished while the Input Power LED and
Heartbeat LED remain illuminated.
3. After approximately one minute, the POST executes and the Heartbeat LED is extinguished.
4. After about another minute, the POST is complete, all LEDs are extinguished, except the Input Power
LED and the Heartbeat LED:
• The Input Power LED remains illuminated indicating that the switch logic circuitry is receiving DC
voltage. If not, contact your authorized maintenance provider.
• The Heartbeat LED indicates the results of the POST. The POST tests the condition of firmware,
memories, data-paths, and switch logic circuitry. If the Heartbeat LED blinks steadily about once per
second, the POST was successful, and you can continue with the installation process. Any other
blink pattern indicates that an error has occurred. For more information, see ”Heartbeat LED blink

Installing firmware
The switch comes with current firmware installed. You can upgrade the firmware from the management
station or workstation as new firmware becomes available using Simple SAN Connection Manager,
QuickTools, or the CLI. This guide describes the use of QuickTools and the CLI. For information about
installing firmware using Simple SAN Connection Manager, see the HP StorageWorks Simple SAN
Connection Manager User Guide.
You can load and activate firmware upgrades 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 supports the installation and non-disruptive activation of the new firmware.
For information about compatible firmware versions, see the firmware release notes.
• 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.
If you are installing firmware on more than one switch in the fabric, wait until the activation is complete on
the first switch before installing firmware on a second switch. If you attempt to activate firmware on a
second switch before activation is complete on the first, you will receive a message advising you to wait
and perform a hot reset later on the second switch to complete the installation.
Ports that are stable when the non-disruptive activation begins and then change states, will be reset. When
the non-disruptive activation is complete, Simple SAN Connection Manager and QuickTools sessions
reconnect automatically. However, Telnet sessions must be restarted manually.
TIP: 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.
Using QuickTools to install firmware

If there are no special conditions to be configured for the new switch, plug in the switch. The switch
becomes functional with the default fabric configuration. The default fabric configuration settings are as
follows:
• Fabric zoning is sent to the switch from the fabric.
• All ports will be GL_Ports.
• The default IP address 10.0.0.1 is assigned to the switch without a gateway or boot protocol
configured: Reverse Address Resolution Protocol (RARP) Bootstrap Protocol (BOOTP), and Dynamic Host
Configuration Protocol (DHCP).
If you are adding a switch to a fabric and do not want to accept the default fabric configuration:
1. If the switch is not new from the factory, reset the switch to the factory configuration before adding the
switch to the fabric.
2. If you want to manage the switch through the Ethernet port, you must first configure the IP address.
3. Plug in the inter-switch links (ISL), but do not connect the devices.

4. Configure the port types for the new switch. The ports can be G_Port, GL_Port, F_Port, FL_Port, TR_Port,
or Donor.
5. Connect the devices to the switch.
6. Make any necessary zoning changes.
Installing feature license keys

Configuring Call Home to HP Services (optional)
Call Home to HP Services is supported for the SN6000 Fibre Channel Switch.
• If you have already configured Call Home to HP Services for other HP products using Remote Support
Client (RSC), which is part of the Remote Support Pack (RSP), or using Instant Support Enterprise Edition
(ISEE), then to configure Call Home to HP Services for the SN6000 Fibre Channel Switch, you must add
the switch as a managed system to HP Open Service Event Manager (OSEM) and then configure
SNMP traps in the switch.
• If you have not already configured Call Home to HP Services, then you must set up a Central
Management Server (CMS) to run HP Systems Insight Manager (SIM), which will direct the installation
of RSP applications to support Call Home to HP Services.
Role of the Remote Support Software Manager
When you install RSP, Remote Support Software Manager (RSSWM) is also installed on your CMS.
RSSWM downloads required and recommended software components, including the required software
components listed below, which are used to allow communication with HP Services, contract and warranty
entitlement capabilities and to provide on-site analysis.
• Remote Support Client (RSC)
• Remote Support Common Components (MC3)
• Remote Support Eligible Systems List
• Open Service Event Manager (OSEM)
• Web-Based Enterprise Services (WEBES)
These and other software management options you select are downloaded by RSSWM. Once configured,
RSSWM will download and install updated versions as they become available according to the policies
selected during the configuration of RSSWM.
Role of OSEM and versions required
OSEM collects and formats problem reports from various HP customer systems, including the SN6000
Fibre Channel Switch. OSEM uses the Ethernet (LAN) connection on the switches to receive event
notifications through SNMP traps sent from the switches, and then sends automated notification messages
to local e-mail recipients (if so configured) and to HP Services through RSC or ISEE. These applications, in
turn, send the event message over the internet to HP Services.
OSEM version1.4.5, SIM 5.1 (which includes RSP version 5.05), and ISEE version A.03.95 are the
minimum versions required to support SN6000 Fibre Channel Switch Call Home to HP Services.

Infrastructure requirements for implementing Call Home to HP Services
To implement Call Home to HP Services, the following infrastructure requirements must be met:
• Internet access to the Central Management Server running RSC, or a server running ISEE. (Required
because notification messages are sent by RSC or ISEE to HP over the Internet.)
• OSEM can run on the same server as RSC or ISEE or on a server that has LAN access to the server
running RSC or ISEE.
• The server running OSEM must have LAN access to the SN6000 Fibre Channel Switches to receive
SNMP traps from the switches.
• If a fire wall is installed, the following ports must be open:
• Port 162, which receives SNMP traps from the switches, because OSEM uses Microsoft SNMP
services
• Port 2069, to communicate with web browsers seeking remote access to OSEM
Configuring Call Home to HP services
To configure Call Home to HP services:
1. Make sure SIM and RSC, or ISEE are installed on a server that has Internet access. For software,
installation instructions, and other documentation for SIM, RSP, and ISEE Standard Configuration, see
the HP websites listed in ”Installation instructions and documentation for SIM, RSP, OSEM, and ISEE”
2. Make sure OSEM is installed on a server that has Ethernet access to the server running SIM and RSC or
ISEE, and to the SN6000 Fibre Channel Switches.
NOTE: OSEM can also be installed on the server that is used to run ISEE or SIM and RSC.
3. To enable a switch to Call Home to HP Services, configure an SNMP trap in the switch using
QuickTools or the CLI, as described in the following procedures:
To configure an SNMP trap using QuickTools:
a. Enter the IP address of the switch into the web browser of a server that has LAN access to the
switch, and login to the switch.
b. To open the SNMP Properties dialog box: In the fabric tree, click the switch graphic for the switch
you are configuring to open its faceplate display, and then select Switch > SNMP Properties.

System fault LED is illuminated
The System Fault LED illuminates to indicate that a fault exists in the switch firmware or hardware. If the
System Fault LED illuminates, identify the Heartbeat LED error blink pattern and take the necessary actions.
Power-On self test diagnostics
The switch performs a series of tests as part of its power-up procedure. The POST diagnostic program
performs the following tests:
• Checksum tests on the boot firmware in Programmable read-only memory (PROM) and the switch
firmware in flash memory
• Internal data loopback test on all ports
• Access and integrity test on the Application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC)
During the POST, the switch logs any errors encountered. Some POST errors are critical, others are not. The
switch uses the Heartbeat LED and the Logged-in LED to indicate switch and port status. A critical error
disables the switch so that it will not operate. A non-critical error allows the switch to operate, but disables
the ports that have errors. If two or more ports fail the POST, the entire switch is disabled. Whether the
problem is critical or not, contact your authorized maintenance provider.
If there are no errors, the Heartbeat LED blinks at a steady rate of once per second. If a critical error
occurs, the Heartbeat LED will show a blink pattern that indicates an error, and the System Fault LED will
illuminate. If there are non-critical errors, the switch disables the failed ports and flashes the associated
Heartbeat LED blink patterns
The Heartbeat LED indicates the operational status of the switch. When the POST completes with no errors,
the Heartbeat LED blinks at steady rate of once per second. When the switch is in maintenance mode, the
Heartbeat LED illuminates continuously. For more information, see ”Recovering a switch using maintenance
mode” on page 57. All other blink patterns indicate critical errors. In addition to producing a Heartbeat
error blink patterns, a critical error also illuminates the System Fault LED.
The Heartbeat LED shows an error blink pattern for the following conditions:
• 1 blink—Normal operation
Internal firmware failure blink pattern
An internal firmware failure blink pattern is 2 blinks followed by a two second pause. The 2-blink error
pattern indicates that the firmware has failed, and that the switch must be reset. Momentarily press and
release the Maintenance button to reset the switch.
2 seconds

Fatal POST error blink pattern
A system error blink pattern is 3 blinks followed by a 2-second pause. The 3-blink error pattern indicates
that a POST failure or a system error has left the switch inoperable. If a system error occurs, contact your
authorized maintenance provider. Momentarily press and release the Maintenance button to reset the
switch.
2 seconds
Configuration file system error blink pattern
A configuration file system error blink pattern is 4 blinks followed by a 2-second pause. The 4-blink error
pattern indicates that a configuration file system error has occurred, and that the configuration file must be
restored.
2 seconds
To restore the switch configuration:
1. Establish communications with the switch using Telnet. Enter one of the following on the command line:
telnet xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
or
telnet switchname
where xxx.xxx.xxx.xxxis the switch IP address and switchname is the switch name associated with
the IP address.
2. A Telnet window opens prompting you for a login. Enter an account name and password. The default
account name and password are adminand passwordrespectively.
3. Open an admin session to acquire the necessary authority.
SN6000 $> admin start
4. Restore the configuration. When the restore is complete, the switch will reset.
SN6000 (admin) $> config restore
If a configuration does not exist, enter the config backupCLI command, then enter the
config restorecommand.
Over-temperature blink pattern
An over-temperature blink pattern is 5 blinks followed by a 2-second pause. The 5-blink error pattern
indicates that the air temperature inside the switch has exceeded the failure temperature threshold.
2 seconds
If the Heartbeat LED shows the over-temperature blink pattern:
1. Inspect the switch vents. Are the intake and exhaust vents clear?
• Yes—Continue.
• No—Remove any debris from fan intake and exhaust if necessary. If the condition remains,
continue.
2. Consider the ambient air temperature near the switch and clearance around the switch. Make
necessary corrections. If the condition remains, power down the switch and contact your authorized
maintenance provider.

Logged-in LED (port 10)
• Continuous illumination: A device is logged in to the port.
• Flashing once per second: A device is logging in to the port, or the port is in the diagnostics state.
• Flashing twice per second: The port is down, offline, or an error has occurred.
If a Logged-in LED is flashing two times per second, review the event browser for alarm messages
regarding the affected port. You can also inspect the alarm log using the command line interface,
show alarmcommand. If there is an error, alarm messages may point to one or more of the following
conditions:
E_Port isolation
A Logged-in LED error indication is often the result of E_Port isolation. E_Port isolation can be caused by the
following:
• Security failure
• A port configured as an F_Port or an FL_Port is connected to another switch
• Conflicting domain IDs
• Conflicting timeout values
• Conflicting zone membership between active zone sets
• Connection to a B-series or C-series switch
Using QuickTools, review the event browser, and perform the following procedure to diagnose and correct
an isolated E_Port:
1. Does the QuickTools event browser show an alarm about an invalid attach on the affected port?
• Yes—If you have configured device security, 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.
2. Does the QuickTools 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.

3. Display the fabric domain IDs using the show domainsCLI command or by selecting the QuickTools
Switch tab, Summary icon. Are all domain IDs in the fabric unique?
• Yes—Continue.
• No—Correct the domain IDs on the offending switches using the set config switchCLI
command or the QuickTools Switch Properties dialog. Reset the port. If the condition remains,
continue.
4. Compare the RA_TOV and ED_TOV timeout values for all switches in the fabric using the show
config switchCLI command or by selecting the QuickTools Switch tab, Advanced icon. Is each
timeout value the same on every switch?
• Yes—Continue.
• No—Correct the timeout values on the offending switches using the set config switchCLI
command or selecting Switch>Advanced Switch Properties in QuickTools. Reset the port. If the
condition remains, continue.
5. Display the active zone set on each switch using the zoning activeCLI command or by selecting
the QuickTools Active Zoneset tab. 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, then reset the port. If the condition remains, contact your authorized maintenance
provider.
NOTE: E_Port isolation can be caused by merging two fabrics whose active zone sets have two zones
with the same name, but different membership.
6. Is the port connected to a switch that supports connection to a TR_Port of an SN6000 Fibre Channel
Switch?
• Yes—Configure the port as a TR_Port and map the local and remote fabric devices.
• No—Contact your authorized maintenance provider.
Excessive port errors
The switch can monitor a set of port errors and generate alarms based on user-defined sample windows
and thresholds. These port errors include the following:
• Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC) errors
• Decode errors
• ISL connection count
• Device login errors
• Device logout errors
• Loss-of-signal errors
Port threshold alarm monitoring is disabled by default. For information about managing port threshold
alarms, see the HP StorageWorks SN6000 Fibre Channel Switch Command Line Interface Guide.
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
• Faulty device or HBA
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
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 perform the following procedure:
1. Examine the alarm configuration for the associated error using the show config thresholdCLI
command. See the show config thresholdCLI command in the HP StorageWorks SN6000 Fibre
Channel Switch Command Line Interface Guide. 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. For
information about testing ports, see the HP StorageWorks SN6000 Fibre Channel Switch Command
Line Interface Guide or the HP StorageWorks SN6000 Fibre Channel Switch QuickTools Switch
Management User Guide. 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. Replace the Fibre Channel port cable. Is the problem corrected?
• Yes—The procedure is complete.
• No—Continue.
4. 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.
Transceiver diagnostics
You can display the following transceiver information using the show mediaCLI command:
• Port number
• Manufacturer
• Temperature (°C)
• Operating voltage (volts)
• Transmitter bias (milliamps)
• Transmitter power (milliwatts)
• Receiver power (milliwatts)
The display indicates warning and alarm conditions for both high and low values.
Power Supply Diagnostics
An SN6000 Fibre Channel Switch power supply has a Status LED (Green) and a Fault LED (Amber) as
shown in Figure 22. Under normal operating conditions, the Power Supply Status LED is illuminated and
the Power Supply Fault LED is extinguished.

WARNING! Danger d’explosion si le remplacement de la pile est incorrect. Ne remplacer que par une
pile de type identique ou équivalent recommandé par le fabricant. Jeter la pile usagée en observant les
instructions du fabricant.
WARNING! Peligro de la explosión si la batería es reemplazada incorrectamente. Substituya solamente
con el mismo tipo o equivalente recomendado por el fabricante. Deshágase de la batería usada según las
instrucciones del fabricante.
Transceiver Removal and Replacement
The SFP and XPAK transceivers can be removed and replaced while the switch is operating without
damaging the switch or the transceiver. However, data transmission on the affected port is interrupted until
the transceiver is installed.
To remove a transceiver, gently press the transceiver into the port to release the tension, then pull on the
release tab or lever and remove the transceiver. Different transceiver manufacturers have different release
mechanisms. Consult the documentation for your transceiver. To install the transceiver, insert it into the port
and gently press until it snaps in place.
NOTE: The SFP and XPAK transceivers fits only one way. If the transceiver does not install under gentle
pressure, invert it and try again.
Power Supply Removal and Replacement
The SN6000 Dual Power Supply Fibre Channel Switch power supplies are hot-pluggable. This means you
can remove or install one of the power supplies while the switch is operating without disrupting service.
The power supplies are also interchangeable; that is, the left and right power supplies are the same unit.
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
NOTE: Both power supplies must have the same air flow direction to prevent the switch from overheating.
To avoid overheating, do not operate the switch with one power supply any longer than necessary.
When removing or replacing a power supply, consider the following:
• The left and right power supplies are interchangeable. However, you must orient the power supply so
that AC receptacle is on the right.
• Both power supplies must have the same air flow direction. The part number label on the power supply
indicates the air flow direction.
• When removing or replacing a power supply on an operating switch, be sure the Heartbeat LED is
showing the normal one blink per second. This indicates that the switch will continue operating
normally while the power supply is being removed or replaced.
To remove a power supply:

B Electrostatic discharge
This appendix provides the following information:
How to prevent electrostatic discharge
To prevent damage to the system, you must follow certain precautions when setting up the system or
handling parts. A discharge of static electricity from a finger or other conductor may damage system
boards or other static-sensitive devices. This type of damage may reduce the life expectancy of the device.
To prevent electrostatic damage, observe the following precautions:
• Avoid hand contact by transporting and storing products in static-safe containers.
• Keep electrostatic-sensitive parts in their containers until they arrive at static-free workstations.
• Place parts on a grounded surface before removing them from their containers.
• Avoid touching pins, leads, or circuitry.
• Always make sure you are properly grounded when touching a static-sensitive component or assembly.
Grounding methods
There are several methods for grounding. Use one or more of the following methods when handling or
installing electrostatic-sensitive parts:
• Use a wrist strap connected by a ground cord to a grounded workstation or chassis. Wrist straps are
flexible straps with a minimum of 1 megohm ± 10 percent resistance in the ground cords. To provide
proper ground, wear the strap snug against the skin.
• Use heel straps, toe straps, or boot straps at standing workstations. Wear the straps on both feet when
standing on conductive floors or static-dissipating floor mats.
• Use conductive field service tools.
• Use a portable field service kit with a folding static-dissipating work mat.
If you do not have any of the suggested equipment for proper grounding, have an HP authorized reseller
install the part.
NOTE: For more information on static electricity, or for assistance with product installation, contact your
HP authorized reseller.
