1 HP 16Gb FC Switches
This chapter provides general information about the HP SN3000B 16Gb FC Switch and the HP
SN6000B 16Gb FC Switch.
NOTE: For descriptions of acronyms and abbreviations used in this guide, see the “Glossary”.
HP SN6000B 16Gb FC Switch

This section provides an overview of the HP SN6000B 16Gb FC Switch. It describes platform
capabilities and components, the physical layout of the switch, and hardware and software options.
Overview
The HP SN6000B 16Gb FC Switch is a 48-port autosensing 4, 8, or 16 Gb/s as well as 10 Gb/s
FC switch that delivers the latest HP single-chip architecture for FC SANs. The HP SN6000B 16Gb
FC Switch is an enterprise-class switch designed to handle the large-scale SAN requirements of
an enterprise environment, and can also be used to address the SAN requirements of a small to
medium-sized workgroup.
The HP SN6000B 16Gb FC Switch meets RAS, performance, and scalability requirements of an
enterprise switch while delivering interoperability and ease-of-use advantages. The SN6000B
16Gb FC Switch is the latest offering from the HP family of entry-to-enterprise products.
The HP SN6000B 16Gb FC Switch provides 48 ports in a single (1U) height switch that enables
the creation of very dense fabrics in a relatively small space.
The HP SN6000B 16Gb FC Switch also offers POD licensing. Base models of the switch contain
24 ports, and up to two additional 12-port POD licenses can be purchased. The switch provides
excellent value as the foundation of a SAN and can grow to meet an organization’s SAN needs.
The HP SN6000B 16Gb FC Switch can be configured in AG mode, which enables configuring
the enterprise fabric to handle additional N_Ports instead of domains. Reducing the number of
domain IDs and ports simplifies configuration and management in a large fabric. Switches in AG
mode are logically transparent to the host and fabric. You can increase the number of hosts that
have access to the fabric without increasing the number of switches.
Platform capabilities
The HP SN6000B 16Gb FC Switch offers the following features and capabilities:
• Up to 48 autosensing ports of high-performance 16 Gb/s technology in a single domain.
• POD scaling from 24 to 36 or 48 ports.
• 4, 8, and 16 Gb/s autosensing FC switch and router ports.
◦ 4 and 8 Gb/s performance is enabled by 8 Gb/s SFP+ transceivers.
◦ 4, 8, and 16 Gb/s performance is enabled by 16 Gb/s SFP+ transceivers.
• 10 Gb/s manual set capability on FC ports (requires the optional 10 Gigabit FC-IP/FC license).
◦ 10 Gb/s performance is enabled by 10 Gb/s SFP+ transceivers.
◦ The first eight ports can be configured for 10 Gb/s for metro connectivity.
• Universal ports self-configure as E, F, M, or D ports. EX_Ports can be activated on a per port
basis with the optional Integrated Routing license. The Diagnostic Port (D_Port) feature provides
physical media diagnostic, troubleshooting, and verification services.
• In-flight data compression and encryption on up to two ports provides efficient link utilization
and security.
HP SN6000B 16Gb FC Switch 7

• VF support improves isolation between VFs.
• FCR service, available with the optional Integrated Routing license, provides improved
scalability and fault isolation.
• FICON, FICON Cascading, and FICON CUP ready.
• ISL Trunking (licensable), which allows up to eight ports (at 4, 8, or 16 Gb/s) between a pair
of switches combined to form a single, logical ISL with a speed of up to 128 Gb/s (256 Gb/s
full duplex) for optimal bandwidth utilization and load balancing.
• DPS, which optimizes fabric-wide performance and load balancing by automatically routing
data to the most efficient available path in the fabric.
• HP-branded SFP+ optical transceivers that support any combination of SWL and LWL or ELWL
optical media among the switch ports.
• Support for unicast, multicast (255 groups), and broadcast data traffic types.
• Fabric OS delivers distributed intelligence throughout the network and enables a wide range
of value-added applications such as Advanced Web Tools and Zoning. Optional Fabric
Services include Adaptive Networking with QoS, Extended Fabrics, Enhanced Group
Management, Fabric Watch, ISL Trunking, and APM.
• Support for AG configuration where server ports connected to the fabric core are virtualized.
• Hardware zoning is accomplished at the port level of the switch and by WWN. Hardware
zoning permits or denies delivery of frames to any destination port address.
• Extensive diagnostics and system-monitoring capabilities for enhanced high RAS.
• 10 Gb/s FC integration on the same port provides DWDM metro connectivity on the same
switch (can be done on the first eight ports only).
• Real-time power monitoring enables monitoring the fabric power usage at a switch level.
• Port-to-port latency minimized to 800 nanoseconds through cut-through frame routing at 16
Gb/s.
Platform components

• One accessory kit with the following items:
◦ Rack Mount Kit, including rails, rail mounting hardware, and plenum
◦ HP product documentation, including Read Me First, Safety Guides, User License, and
Warranty
• Brocade EZ Switch and China ROHS documentation
• HP SAN Network Advisor DVD
Installation and safety considerations

You can install the switch in a rack or as a standalone device on a flat surface. HP highly
recommends mounting the switch in an HP 10000 Series Rack.
Electrical considerations
For successful installation and operation of the switch, ensure that the following electrical
requirements are met:
• The primary outlet is wired correctly, protected by a circuit breaker, and grounded in
accordance with local electrical codes.
• The supply circuit, line fusing, and wire size are adequate, as specified by the electrical rating
on the switch nameplate.
• A maximum of 71.36 cubic meters/hour (42 cubic feet/minute). Nominal airflow is 59.47
cubic meters/hour (35 cubic feet/minute).
• The primary AC input is 85–264 VAC Nominal: 100–240 VAC, 2.0 A; 47–63 Hz. The switch
autosenses input voltage.
Environmental considerations
For successful installation and operation of the switch, ensure that the following environmental
requirements are met:
Accessories 17
IMPORTANT: Always use the plenum when installing the switch in a rack.
• At a minimum, adequate cooling requires installing the switch with the intake side, the nonport
side of the switch, facing the cool-air aisle.
• All equipment in the rack should force air in the same direction to avoid intake of exhaust air.
• A maximum of 102 cubic meters/hour (60 cubic feet/minute) and a minimum of 74.8 cubic
meters/hour (44 cubic feet/minute) of airflow must be available for air intake.
• The ambient air temperature must not exceed 40°C (104°F) while the switch is operating.
Cabling considerations
You can organize and manage cables in a number of ways, such as using cable channels on the
sides of the cabinet or patch panels.
Before installing the switch, consider the following HP cabling recommendations:
• HP recommends using HP PremierFlex cables because they have a minimum bend radius of
2 mm (0.08 inch) compared to previous cables, which required a minimum 5 cm (2 inches)
bend radius for a 50-micron cable under full tensile load and 3 cm (1.2 inches) with no tensile
load.
• Leave at least 1 m (3.28 ft) of slack for each port cable. This provides room to remove and
replace the switch, allows for inadvertent movement of the rack, and helps prevent the cables
from being bent to less than the minimum bend radius.
• If you are using ISL Trunking, consider grouping cables by trunking groups. The cables used
in trunking groups must meet specific requirements, as described in the Fabric OS
Administrator's Guide.
• For easier maintenance, label the fiber optic cables and record the devices to which they are
connected.
• Keep LEDs visible by routing port cables and other cables away from the LEDs.
• Use Velcro straps to secure and organize fiber optic cables.
CAUTION: Do not use tie wraps on fiber optic cables. The wraps are easily overtightened
and can damage the optical fibers.
Installing the switch

This section provides instructions for installing the HP SN6000B 16Gb FC Switch and the HP
SN3000B 16Gb FC Switch.
Items required for installation

To set up the switch for the first time, you will need the following:
• Workstation with an installed terminal emulator (such as HyperTerminal)
• Unused IP address and corresponding subnet mask and gateway address
• Serial cable (supplied with the switch)
• Ethernet cable
• Access to an FTP server, SCP server, or USB device for backing up the switch configuration
(optional)
• HP B-series SFP+ transceivers and compatible cables, as required (HP B-series 16 Gb/s SFP+
transceivers are required for 16 Gb/s performance)

IMPORTANT: Order transceivers and cables separately. The SN6000B and the SN3000B
Switches support only transceivers and cables labeled B-series SFP+, or B-series cable. For more
information on supported transceivers, see Table 2 (page 11) and the HP SAN Compatibility Tool
at http://hpsancompat.com/.
Installing the switch in a rack using the Rack Mount Kit

Use the SN6000B and the SN3000B Switch Rack Mount Kits to install the switch in an HP 10000
Series Rack.
CAUTION: Install the Rack Mount Kits as described in this section so that when the switch is
installed, the port side faces the rear of the rack. This configuration optimizes performance in the
following ways:
• Provides better airflow by using a plenum. A plenum is an air duct that attaches to the switch
rails, enabling the switch to draw cooler air from outside the rack rather than drawing in
heated air from within the rack.
• Provides room for a gradual bend in the fiber optic cables because the port side of the switch
is set back from the edge of the rack.
Use only the screws provided in the Rack Mount Kit. Using other screws can cause damage to
internal components.
Installation safety guidelines

Verify that the rack and the area around the rack meet the following requirements:
• Plan a rack space that is a 1U high and provides clearance for the switch power cords to run
between the rack sides and the rails at the front of the 19-inch EIA rack.
• Ground all equipment in the rack through a reliable branch circuit connection and maintain
ground at all times. Do not rely on a secondary connection to a branch circuit, such as a
power strip.
• Ensure that airflow and temperature requirements are met on an ongoing basis.
• Secure the rack to ensure stability in case of unexpected movement.
Installing the switch 19

Rack mount installation
To install the switch in a rack using the Rack Mount Kit:
1. Place the switch on a flat surface and attach each inner rail to the switch using three flat-head
screws. See Figure 7 (page 20).
The rails are labeled Left and Right to designate the left side and right side of the switch as
viewed from its nonport side.
Figure 7 Attaching the inner rails to the switch
2. Take care to select a mounting location in the rack such that the cutouts in the sides of each
rail are not obstructed. You will route the switch power cords through these holes later in this
procedure.
3. Attach each rear mounting bracket to a rear rack upright column using two Phillips screws
and adapter washers. See Figure 8 (page 20).
Figure 8 Installing the rear mounting brackets

4. Attach each outer rail as shown in Figure 9 (page 21).
The rails are labeled Left and Right to designate the left side and right side of the rack as
viewed from the front of the cabinet.
Figure 9 Attaching the outer rails
a. Slide each rail over the rear mounting brackets.

b. Attach the front of the rail to a front rack upright column using two Phillips screws and
adapter washers.
c. Attach the outer rail to the rear mounting bracket using a Phillips screw.
TIP: Tighten the rear screws just enough for the end of the screw to go through the rear
brackets. Later in the procedure, you will need room to slide the inner rail between the
screw head and the outer bracket.

5. Install the switch. See Figure 10 (page 22).
a. From the front of the rack, slide the switch (with inner rails attached) onto the outer rails,
taking care to align the inner rails with the attachment screws on the outer rails at the
rear of the rack.
b. When the switch is in place, secure the inner rails to the outer rails by tightening the
screws at the rear of the rack.
Figure 10 Installing the switch in the rack
6. At the front of the rack, run the switch power cords from the sides of the rack through the
cutouts in the rail, and then connect them to the switch power supplies. Connect two power
cords to the SN6000B 48-port switch. Connect one power cord to the SN3000B 24-port
switch. See Figure 11 (page 23).
IMPORTANT: Make sure that the power cords do not come in contact with any sharp edges.
NOTE: If you are configuring the second (optional) power supply, the SN3000B 24-port
switch will also have two power cords.

Figure 11 Connecting power and installing the plenum
1. Cutouts for power cords 3. Power switches

2. Power cable plugs 4. Plenum thumb screws
7. Connect the other end of the power cords to power sources on separate circuits to protect
against AC failure. (Make sure that two power cords are connected to the SN6000B 48-port
switch and one power cord is connected to the SN3000B 24–port switch.)
NOTE: If you are configuring the second (optional) power supply, the SN3000B switch will
also have two power cords.
8. Power on the power supplies by setting both power switches to the ON (I) position.
The power supply LEDs are amber until the POST is complete, and then change to green. See
Figure 12 (page 23). The switch takes several minutes to boot and complete POST.
NOTE: When installed, the plenum covers the power supply switches and LEDs. However,
the LEDs are visible through the air holes in the front of the plenum.
9. Slide the plenum over the nonport side of the inner rails, taking care to bypass the power
cables. See Figure 11 (page 23).
10. Tighten the thumbscrews to secure the plenum to the front of the rack.
11. Verify that the switch power and status LEDs on the port side of the switch are green. See
Figure 13 (page 24).
12. Proceed to “Setting up the switch” (page 24).

Installing a standalone switch

1. Unpack the switch and verify the contents, as described in Shipping carton contents.
2. Apply the adhesive rubber feet to prevent the switch from sliding off the supporting surface.
a. Clean the indentations at each corner on the bottom of the switch to ensure that they are
free of dust or other debris.
b. With the adhesive side against the chassis, place one rubber foot in each indentation
and press into place.
3. Place the switch on a flat, sturdy surface.
4. Connect the power cords to each power supply present.
• For the SN6000B switch, connect the power cords to both power supplies and then to
power sources on separate circuits to protect against AC failure.
• For the SN3000B switch, connect a power cord to either the single power supply present
or to both power supplies, if an optional second power supply is present. Then connect
the power cords to power sources on separate circuits to protect against AC failure.
NOTE: If you are configuring the second (optional) power supply on the SN3000B
switch, it will also have two power cords.
Ensure that the cords have a minimum service loop of 6 inches available and are routed to
avoid stress.
5. Power on the power supplies by setting both AC switches to the on (|) position .
The power supply LEDs are amber until POST is complete, and then change to green. See
Figure 12 (page 23). The switch takes several minutes to boot and complete POST.
NOTE: Power is supplied to the switch as soon as the first power supply is connected and
turned on.
6. After POST is complete, verify that the switch power and status LEDs on the port side of the
switch are green. See Figure 13 (page 24).
Setting up the switch

To set up the switch, you will need the following:
• Standard screwdriver
• WWN, located on the switch ID pull-out tab
• Ethernet connection (hub or switch)

• Ethernet and FC cables
• Disk array with FC ports
• Browser that allows pop-up windows
• If you are using static IP addressing, you will need the following items (not required if using
DHCP):
◦ Fixed IP address (IPv4 or IPv6) for the switch
◦ Subnet mask value
◦ Default gateway value
Connecting the serial cable

1. Connect the serial cable to the serial port on the switch and to an RS-232 serial port on the
workstation.
If the serial port is RJ-45 instead of RS-232, remove the adapter on the end of the serial cable
and insert the exposed RJ-45 connector into the RJ-45 serial port on the workstation.
2. Disable any serial communication programs running on the workstation.
3. Open a terminal emulator (such as HyperTerminal on a PC, or TERM, TIP, or Kermit in a UNIX
environment) and configure as follows:
For most Windows systems:
Bits per second: 9,600
Data bits: 8
Parity: None
Stop bits: 1
Flow control: None
For most UNIX systems:
Enter tip /dev/ttyb -9600
If ttyb is already in use, enter tip /dev/ttya -9600
Logging in to the serial console port

1. Verify that the switch has completed POST.
When POST is complete, the switch status and switch power LEDs return to a normal state.
2. When the terminal emulator stops reporting information, press Enter to display the login
prompt.
3. Log in to the switch as admin, using the default password, password.
You are prompted to change the default password at initial login.
NOTE: You can configure the switch using a static IP address or DHCP. With DHCP (enabled
by default), the switch obtains its IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway address from the
DHCP server. The DHCP client can connect only to a DHCP server that is on the same subnet as
the switch. The Ethernet cable must be connected to the management Ethernet port on the switch
if you are using DHCP. If you are using a static IP address, see “Setting a static IP address” (page
26).
Setting the IP address

You can configure the switch with a static IP address or you can use a DHCP server to set the IP
address. (DHCP is enabled by default.) The switch supports both IPv4 and IPv6.
Setting up the switch 25

Using DHCP to set the IP address
When using DHCP, the switch obtains its IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway address
from the DHCP server. The DHCP client can connect only to a DHCP server that is on the same
subnet as the switch. If your DHCP server is not on the same subnet as the switch, use a static IP
address.
Setting a static IP address

1. Use the ipaddrset command to set the Ethernet IP address.
• For an IPv4 address, use dotted-decimal notation:
switch :admin> ipaddrset 192.168.74.102
• For an IPv6 address, use colon-separated notation:
switch:admin> ipaddrset -ipv6 --add 1080::8:800:200C:417A/64
The following message confirms the change:
IP address is being changed...Done.
2. Provide the remaining network information:
• Ethernet IP address: 192.0.2.102
• Ethernet subnetmask: 192.0.2.38
• Gateway IP address: 192.0.2.172
3. Verify the IP address by entering the ipaddrshow command at the prompt.
4. Record the IP address on the pull-out tab on the port side of the switch.
5. When prompted, enter off to disable DHCP:
DHCP [OFF]: off
6. If the serial port is no longer required, use the logout command to log out of the serial
console. Remove the serial cable and replace the plug in the serial port.
7. Connect the Ethernet port on the switch to the Ethernet network where the IP address was
assigned.
Setting the date and time

The date and time are maintained by the switch's battery-backed RTC circuit. Incorrect date and
time will not affect switch operation. However, setting the date and time accurately is important
because these values are used for logging, error detection, and troubleshooting.
Setting the date

1. Log in to the switch using the default password, password.

2. Enter the date command:
date "mmddHHMMyy"
The values are as follows:
• mm is the month; valid values are 01 through 12.
• dd is the date; valid values are 01 through 31.
• HH is the hour; valid values are 00 through 23.
• MM is minutes; valid values are 00 through 59.
• yy is the year; valid values are 00 through 99. (Values greater than 69 are interpreted
as 1970 through 1999; values less than 70 are interpreted as 2000-2069.)
For example:
switch:admin> date
Fri Sep 30 17:01:48 UTC 2011
switch:admin> date "0929123011"
Thu Sep 29 12:30:00 UTC 2011
switch:admin>
Setting the time zone

Users with administrative permissions can set the time zone for the switch by the zone name (such
as PST), by the country and city, or by time zone location (such as US/Central).
If you do not set the time zone, the switch retains the previous zone settings. The tstimezone
command includes an --old option, which reverts to the prior time zone format. For more
information, see the Fabric OS Command Reference.
The tstimezone command has three options:
• The tstimezone command with no parameters displays the current time zone setting.
• The tstimezone --interactive command displays all time zones supported in the
firmware.
• The timeZone_fmt command sets the time zone based on the country and city, or a time
zone ID, such as PST, that you enter.
This command requires administrator privileges.
The time zone setting has the following characteristics:
• Automatically adjusts for Daylight Savings Time.
• Changing the time zone updates the local time zone setup and is reflected in local time
calculations.
• By default, switches are in the GMT time zone (0,0). If all switches in a fabric are in one time
zone, you can keep the time zone setup at the default setting.
• System services that have already started reflect the time zone changes only after the next
reboot.
• In the event of failover, time zone settings are retained to ensure high availability.
You need only set the time zone once on each switch because the value is written to nonvolatile
memory. The following examples show how to set the time zone. The first example uses the time
zone selection; the second uses the country location selection.
The following procedure sets the current time zone to Central Standard Time using the
timezone_fmt command:

1. Log in to the switch using the default password password.
2. Use timezone_fmt to set the time zone by Country/City or by time zone ID, such as PST.
The following example shows how to change the time zone to US/Central:
switch:admin> tstimezone
Time Zone : US/Pacific
switch:admin> tstimezone US/Central
switch:admin> tstimezone
Time Zone : US/Central
The following procedure sets the time zone to Pacific Standard Time using interactive mode:
1. Enter the tstimezone command:
switch:admin> tstimezone --interactive
A list of timezones appears followed by a prompt for you to select a general location:
Please identify a location so that time zone rules can be set
correctly.
2. Enter the appropriate number (an offset of GMT) or press Ctrl+D to quit.
3. At the prompt, select a country location.
4. At the prompt, enter the appropriate number to specify the time zone region, or press Ctrl+D
to quit.
Synchronizing local time

You can synchronize the local time of the principal or primary FCS switch to a maximum of eight
external NTP servers. To keep the time current in your SAN, HP recommends that the principal or
primary FCS switch time is synchronized with at least one external NTP server. The other switches
in the fabric automatically take their time from the principal or primary FCS switch.
All switches in the fabric maintain the current clock server value in nonvolatile memory. By default,
this value is the local clock server LOCL of the principal or primary FCS switch. Changes to the
clock server value on the principal or primary FCS switch are propagated to all switches in the
fabric.
When a switch has been added to the fabric, the time server daemon of the principal or primary
FCS switch sends the addresses of all existing clock servers and the time to that switch. If a switch
running Fabric OS 5.3.0 or later has been added to the fabric, it can store the list and the active
servers. Switches running Fabric OS 5.3.0 or earlier ignore the new list parameter in the payload
and update only the active server address.
If the active NTP server configured is IPv6, distributing the same information in the fabric is not
possible to switches running Fabric OS versions earlier than 5.3.0, because IPv6 is supported only
for Fabric OS version 5.3.0 and later. The default value LOCL is distributed to switches running
Fabric OS 5.3.0 or earlier.
The tsclockserver command accepts multiple server addresses in IPv4, IPv6, or DNS name
format. When multiple NTP server addresses are passed, tsclockserver sets the first obtainable
address as the active NTP server. The remaining addresses are stored as backup servers that can
take over if the active NTP server fails. The principal or primary FCS switch synchronizes its time
with the NTP server every 64 seconds.
Synchronizing local time using NTP

To synchronize the local time using NTP:
1. Log in to the switch using the default password, password.

2. Enter the tsclockserver command:
switch:admin> tsclockserver "<ntp1;ntp2>”
The value ntp1 is the IP address or DNS name of the first NTP server, which the switch must
be able to access. The value ntp2 is the name of the second NTP server and is optional. The
entire operand "<ntp1;ntp2>” is optional; by default, this value is LOCL, which uses the
local clock of the principal or primary switch as the clock server.
switch:admin> tsclockserver
LOCLx
switch:admin> tsclockserver "132.163.135.131"

switch:admin> tsclockserver
132.163.135.131
switch:admin>
The following example shows how to set up more than one NTP server using a DNS name:
switch:admin> tsclockserver "10.32.170.1;10.32.170.2;ntp.localdomain.net"
Updating Clock Server configuration...done.
Updated with the NTP servers

Changes to the clock server value on the principal or primary FCS switch are propagated to
all switches in the fabric.
For more information on using an NTP server, and IPv6 considerations, see the Fabric OS
Administrator's Guide.
Configuring the zones and selecting devices

See the Network Advisor User Manual, available from the storage section of the HP website:
http://www.hp.com/support/manuals
Connecting devices
The Connect Devices window shows a graphical representation of the switch with the device
connections, based on the information that you entered in “Configuring the zones and selecting
devices” (page 29).
NOTE: Only HP B-series optical transceivers are supported. For more information, see the HP
website at http://hpsancompat.com/.
Consider the following when connecting devices:
• Transceivers and cables are keyed so that they can be inserted only one way. If a transceiver
or cable does not slide in easily, make sure it is oriented correctly.
• Do not insert a cable intended for an mSFP transceiver into a regular SFP+ transceiver; you
may damage the cable. The mSFP transceivers and cables are supported only with the 64-port
8 Gb/s blade for the SN8000B SAN directors. Do not attempt to insert a standard SFP cable
into an mSFP transceiver; you can damage the transceiver.

1. Install the SFP+ transceivers in the FC ports on the switch to match the ports displayed in the
Device Connection window .
If you are using an SFP+ transceiver that does not have a pull tab, ensure that the wire bail
is in the unlocked position. See Figure 14 (page 30).
NOTE: Each SFP+ transceiver has a 10-pad gold-plated PCB-edge connector on the bottom.
Insert an SFP+ transceiver into the upper row of ports with the gold edge down. Insert an SFP+
transceiver into the lower row of ports with the gold edge up.
a. Remove any protector plugs from the SFP+ transceiver. Insert each SFP+ transceiver (right
side up in the top row of ports, and upside down in the bottom row of ports) until it is
firmly seated and the latching mechanism clicks.
The 16 Gb/s SFP+ transceiver does not have a bail. Use the pull tab to push the transceiver
into the port.
b. Close the latching bail if there is one.
Figure 14 Inserting an SFP+ transceiver with no pull tab in an FC port
Figure 15 Inserting a 16 Gb/s SFP+ transceiver in an FC port

2. Connect the FC cables from the switch to your host and storage devices. Ensure that the
physical connections match the connections displayed in the Device Connection window.
a. Remove the plastic protector caps from the FC cable ends (if there are any) and position
the cable connector so that it is oriented correctly.
b. Position a cable so that the key (the ridge on one side of the cable connector) is aligned
with the slot in the transceiver (see Figure 15 (page 30)).
c. Insert the cable into the transceiver until the latching mechanism clicks.
The Device Connection window shows missing, valid, and invalid connections as you
cable the switch. It can take up to 15 seconds for the screen to display the connection
as valid.
d. Verify that the connections display green, and then click Next.
Setting switch features

See the Fabric OS 7.0.x Administrator's Guide and the Fabric OS 7.0.x Command Reference
Manual for detailed instructions on setting all supported switch features.
Switch status policy

Switch status policy is a feature that monitors different switch parameters such as power supplies
and fan units, and provides switch status based on their health.
The switch status policy configuration can be updated using the switchstatuspolicyset
command. The following example shows the default settings of 2 and 0 for DOWN and MARGINAL
units for both Bad Power Supplies and Bad Fans.
switch:admin>switchstatuspolicyset
some output skipped
The minimum number of

Bad PowerSupplies contributing to DOWN status: (0..2) [2]
Bad PowerSupplies contributing to MARGINAL status: (0..2) [0]
some output skipped
Bad Fans contributing to DOWN status: (0..2) [2]
Bad Fans contributing to MARGINAL status: (0..2) [0]
output truncated
If two power supply and fan assemblies are installed in the switch, HP recommends changing the
configuration to 2 and 1 for DOWN and MARGINAL for both the Bad Power Supplies and Bad Fans.
Use the switchStatusPolicyShow command to see the results of your changes.
Changing the switch name and chassis name

Changing the switch and chassis names is important for accurate tracking of errors in the RASlog.
The messages in the log are labeled with the switch or chassis name, so choose a meaningful
name for the switch and chassis.
1. Using Telnet, log in to the switch as admin.
2. Use the chassisname command to change the chassis name. The following example shows
how to change the chassis name to myhpchassis:
switch:admin> chassisname myhpchassis
switch:admin> chassisname
myhpchassis
3. Use the switchname command to change the switch name. The following example shows
how to change the switch name to myhpswitch:
switch:admin> switchname myhpswitch
switch:admin> switchname
myhpswitch

Verifying the configuration
To confirm that the switch is configured and ready for use:
1. Observe the LEDs to verify that all components are functional.
For information about LED patterns, see “LEDs” (page 35).
2. Issue the switchshow command from the workstation.
This command provides information about the switch and port status.
3. Issue the fabricshow command from the workstation.
This command provides general information about the fabric.
Backing up the configuration

HP recommends regular backups to ensure that a recent configuration is available.
1. Enter the configupload command.
This command uploads the switch configuration to the server, making it available for
downloading to a replacement switch, if necessary. For instructions on backing up the
configuration, see the Fabric OS Administrator's Guide.
2. Follow the on-screen prompts.
Installing and activating Port Upgrade licenses

1. Use the portshow command to verify the number of ports licensed on your switch.
The command output displays Started and Licensed for enabled ports. For more information
on this command, see the Fabric OS 7.0.x Command Reference Manual.
2. Obtain the WWN from the Switch ID pull-out tab located on the port side of your switch.
You can also use the switchshow command to display the WWN.
3. Contact your HP representative to purchase the appropriate Port Upgrade license. HP requires
the switch WWN obtained in Step 2 to assign a license key.
4. Install the license.
a. Log in to the switch as admin.
b. Enter the licenseadd command, followed by the license key enclosed in quotation
marks.
The license key consists of approximately 16 uppercase and lowercase letters and
numerals.
IMPORTANT: Enter the license key exactly as issued. If you enter the key incorrectly,
the license will not function properly.
c. Enter the licenseshow command to verify that the license is valid.

If a licensed product is not displayed, the license is not valid.
NOTE: You do not need to reboot the system.
5. Configure the inactive ports.

a. Enter the portstart command to start the ports. For example:
portstart 16–31
This command loads the port code, unlike the portenable command, which enables
the port laser.
b. Enter the portenable command to enable the ports. For example:
portenable 16–31

6. Optional: Enter the portshow command to verify that the newly activated ports have started.
Fabric OS Native and AG modes

The switch can function in either Fabric OS Native mode or AG mode. The switch is shipped in
Native mode by default.
• You can enable AG mode using Fabric OS commands or Web Tools.
• All POD licenses must be installed before you enable AG mode.
• When enabling AG mode, use the default F_Port-to-N_Port mappings or change this mapping
using the CLI or Web Tools, after configuring an IP address as described in “Setting the IP
address” (page 25).
• AG simplifies SAN deployment by using NPIV. NPIV provides FC switch functions that improve
switch scalability, manageability, and interoperability.
◦ For a list of F_Ports mapped to N_Ports by default, see “AG default port mapping” (page
50).
◦ For general information and details on using AG, see the AG Administrator’s Guide.
NOTE: AG cannot be connected directly to an array; it requires a fabric to support NPIV.
• The Fabric OS features available to the switch depend on whether the switch is configured in
AG or Native mode. For a list of available features for each mode, see the Access Gateway
Administrator’s Guide.
• In AG mode, cascading is not available for the switch. See the Access Gateway Administrator’s
Guide for details on any restrictions.
• In Native mode, the SN6000B switch provides up to 48 external FC ports and the SN3000B
switch provides up to 24 external FC ports. These universal self-configuring ports are capable
of becoming one of the following port types:
◦ F_Port (fabric enabled)
◦ FL_Port (fabric loop enabled)
◦ E_Port (expansion port)
◦ M_Port (mirror port)
• In AG mode, the SN6000B switch provides up to 48 external FC ports and the SN3000B
switch provides up to 24 external FC ports. However, these ports are configured as N_Ports;
you cannot reconfigure them as any other port type.
Disabling and enabling AG mode

This section explains how to disable and enable AG mode using Fabric OS commands. For more
information on using these commands, see the Access Gateway Administrator’s Guide or see the

NOTE: You can disable and enable AG mode using Web Tools. See the Web Tools
Administrator’s Guide for more information.
Fabric OS Native and AG modes 33

Enabling AG mode
Note the following when enabling AG mode:
• After you enable AG mode, some fabric information is erased, such as the zone and security
databases.
• Enabling AG mode is disruptive because the switch is disabled and rebooted.
• Ensure that no zoning or AD transaction buffers are active. If a transaction buffer is active,
enabling AG mode fails with the error Failed to clear Zoning/Admin Domain
configuration.
To enable AG mode using Fabric OS commands:
1. Before enabling AG mode, save the current configuration file using the configupload
command.
2. Enter the switchshow command to verify the switch mode.
AG Mode is displayed for switchMode if the switch is in AG mode. Native is displayed
for switchMode if the switch is in Native mode.
3. Enter the switchdisable command to disable the switch.
The switch must be disabled in order to enable or disable AG mode.
4. Enter the ag -–modeenable command to enable AG mode.
5. Enter the ag --modeshow command to verify that AG mode is enabled.
switch:admin> ag --modeshow Access Gateway mode is enabled.
Disabling AG mode
When you disable AG mode, the switch reboots automatically and comes back online using the
fabric switch configuration. The AG parameters, such as F_Port-to-N_Port mapping, Failover, and
Failback are removed automatically. When the switch reboots, it starts in Native mode. For
instructions on adding the switch back to the core fabric, see the Access Gateway Administrator’s
Guide.
To disable AG mode using Fabric OS commands:
1. Enter the switchshow command to verify the switch mode.
AG Mode is displayed if the switch is in AG mode. Interopmode 0 or Native is displayed if
the switch is in Native mode.
2. Enter the switchdisable command to disable the switch.
The switch must be disabled in order to enable or disable AG mode.
3. Enter the ag --modeDisable command to disable AG mode.
4. Enter the ag --modeshow command to verify that AG mode is disabled.
switch:admin> ag --modeshow
Access Gateway mode is NOT enabled

3 Operating HP 16Gb FC Switches
This chapter discusses switch power, LEDs, maintenance, and management.
Powering the switch on and off

• Power switches are located on the nonport side of the switch.
• If the switch is mounted in a rack, you must remove the plenum to access the power switches.
• Power is supplied to the switch as soon as the first power supply is connected and powered
on.
• To power the switch off, power off the power supplies present by setting the AC power switch
to O. All devices are returned to their initial state the next time the switch is powered on.
LEDs
The switch LEDs indicate system activity and status. There are three LED states: no light, a steady
light, and a flashing light. Flashing lights can be slow, fast, or flickering. The lights are green or
amber.
The LEDs can flash green or amber during boot, POST, or other diagnostic tests. This is normal; it
does not indicate a problem unless the LEDs do not indicate a healthy state after all boot processes
and diagnostic tests are complete.
Figure 16 (page 35) shows the port side of the switch. The port status LEDs for the FC ports are
arranged left to right and correspond to the upper and lower ports in each pair. See Figure 1 (page
9).

flashing green until POST is
complete.
POST and boot specifications

When the switch is powered on or rebooted, it performs POST. Total boot time with POST can be
several minutes. POST can be omitted after subsequent reboots by using the fastboot command
or entering the diagDisablePost command to persistently disable POST. For more information
about these commands, see the Fabric OS 7.0.x Command Reference Manual.
POST
You can monitor the results of the diagnostic tests that run during POST through LED activity, the
error log, or the CLI. POST includes the following tasks:
• Conducting preliminary POST diagnostics
• Initializing the operating system
• Initializing hardware
• Running diagnostic tests on several functions, including circuitry, port functionality, memory,
statistics counters, and serialization
To determine whether POST completed successfully:
1. Inspect the switch LEDs to determine whether components are operating properly.
See Table 5 (page 36) and Table 6 (page 37) for descriptions of LED patterns. If one or more
LEDs do not display a healthy state, verify that the LEDs are not set to beacon by entering the
switchshow command to detect if beaconing is active.
POST and boot specifications 37

2. Verify that the switch prompt is displayed on a workstation connected to the switch.
If there is no switch prompt when POST is complete, press Enter. If the switch prompt still does
not appear, open a Telnet session or access the switch through another management tool. If
this does not solve the problem, the switch did not complete POST successfully. Contact your
switch supplier for repair.
3. Review the switch system log for errors.
Any errors detected during POST are written to the system log, accessible through the errShow
command.
For information about error messages, see the Fabric OS Message Reference Manual.
Boot
Boot occurs after POST is complete and includes the following tasks:
• Performing universal port configuration.
• Initializing links.
• Analyzing the fabric.
If any ports are connected to other switches, the switch participates in a fabric configuration.
• Obtaining a domain ID and assigning port addresses.
• Constructing unicast routing tables.
• Enabling normal port operation.
Switch maintenance
The switch supports only HP-branded 8 Gb/s and 16 Gb/s SFP+ optical transceivers. For the FC
connections, the switch uses SFP+ transceivers that support any combination of SWL, LWL, and
ELWL optical media.
If you use an unqualified transceiver, the switchshow command output shows the port in a
Mod_Inv state. Fabric OS also logs the issue in the system error log.
For information about installing transceivers, see “Connecting devices” (page 29).
Diagnostic tests
In addition to POST, Fabric OS includes diagnostic tests to help you troubleshoot the hardware
and firmware. This includes tests of internal connections and circuitry, fixed media, and transceivers
and cables.
The tests are implemented by command through a Telnet session or a console set up to the serial
connection to the switch. Some tests require that ports be connected by external cables in order
to verify the serializer/deserializer interface, transceiver, and cable. Some tests require loopback
plugs.
Diagnostic tests run at a link speed of 2, 4, 8, 10, or 16 Gb/s (FC), depending on the speed of
the link being tested and the type of port.
NOTE:
• Diagnostic tests can temporarily lock the transmit and receive speed of the links.
• HP does not support 2Gb connectivity to the SN6000B or the SN3000B switches.
For information about specific diagnostic tests, see the Fabric OS Troubleshooting and Diagnostics
Guide.

Switch management
You can use the management functions built into the switch to monitor the fabric topology, port
status, physical status, and other information to help you analyze switch performance and to
accelerate system debugging.
For information about upgrading the Fabric OS version installed on your switch, see the Fabric
OS Administrator’s Guide.
You can manage the switch using any of the management tools listed in Table 7 (page 39). See
the Fabric OS 7.0.x Command Reference Manual for more information on the CLI commands.

FRU removal and replacement

The power supply and fan assembly is the only FRU in the switch. No special tools are required
to remove and replace this FRU. The switch will continue to operate during the FRU replacement
if you follow the procedures in this chapter. Replacing a power supply and fan assembly takes
less than two minutes.
CAUTION: Disassembling any part of the power supply voids the part warranty and regulatory
certifications. There are no user-serviceable parts inside the power supply and fan assembly. The
cooling system relies on pressurized air, so do not leave either of the power supply and fan assembly
slots empty longer than two minutes when the switch is operating. If a power supply and fan
assembly fails, leave the power supply and fan assembly in the switch until it can be replaced.
The power supply and fan assembly must be operational to ensure redundancy.
Replacing a power supply and fan assembly

The fans are fixed inside the combined power supply and fan FRU to provide the airflow needed
to cool the switch. Each FRU contains two fans. The system software measures and sets fan speed
through the tachometer interface.
The SN3000B switch comes with one power supply and fan assembly. Fabric OS identifies the
assemblies from right to left on the nonport side. Even though they are contained within a single
unit, the power supply and fan components are identified separately. In the chassisShow command
they are identified as Power Supply Unit:1 and Fan Unit:1.
The SN6000B switch has two power supply and fan assemblies. The two power supply and fan
assemblies are hot-swappable if replaced one at a time. They are identical and fit into either slot.
Switch management 39
NOTE: When replacing the power supply and fan assembly in an HP SN3000B 16Gb FC Switch
that has only one, the switch must be powered off prior to replacing the assembly.
Figure 18 (page 40) shows the power supply and fan assemblies on the nonport side of a switch
with two assemblies. The standard HP SN3000B 16Gb FC Switch includes a single power supply
and fan assembly. Fabric OS identifies the assemblies from right to left as assemblies 1 and 2.
(The actual appearance of the switch may differ slightly from this illustration, but the locations are
correct.)
Figure 18 Power supply and fan assemblies
1. Power supply/fan assembly #2 2. Power supply/fan assembly #1
Determining the status of a power supply and fan assembly

Use one of the following methods to determine the status of the power supply and fan assembly:
• Check the power supply and fan assembly status LED next to the AC power switch (see
Figure 17 (page 37)).
• In Web Tools, click the Power Status icon.
• Enter the psshow command at the prompt to display the power supply and fan assembly
status:
br6510:admin> psshow
Power Supply #1 is OK
Power Supply #2 is OK
br6510:admin>
Removing a power supply and fan assembly

The following items are required:
• New power supply and fan assembly
• #1 Phillips screwdriver
To remove a power supply and fan assembly (Figure 19 (page 41)):
1. If the switch is rack mounted, remove the plenum.
2. If the switch has two power supply and fan assemblies, go to step 3. When replacing the
power supply and fan assembly in an HP SN3000B 16Gb FC Switch that has only one
assembly, the switch must be powered off before removing the assembly.
Enter the sysShutDown command before powering off the assembly to maintain the reliability
of the system.
NOTE: To keep the switch in service when replacing a power supply and fan in a switch
with two assemblies, verify that the other assembly has been powered on for at least four
seconds and that its LED is steady green.

3. Power off the power supply to be replaced by setting the AC power switch to the off (O)
position.
The fans in the other power supply automatically switch to high speed to maintain adequate
cooling.
4. Unplug the power cord from the power supply and fan assembly being replaced.
5. Unscrew the captive screw using a Phillips screwdriver.
6. Remove the power supply and fan assembly by pulling the handle out and away from the
chassis.
7. Note the product and airflow labels (or their absence) on the assembly just removed.

FRU removal and replacement 41

Installing a power supply and fan assembly
To install the power supply and fan assembly:
1. Ensure that the replacement FRU AC power switch is in the off (O) position.
CAUTION: Damage to the switch can result if the AC power switch is in the on (|) position
when the switch is installed in the chassis.
2. Orient the new power supply and fan assembly with the captive screw on the right, as shown
in Figure 19 (page 41).
CAUTION: Do not force the assembly into the chassis. If it does not slide in easily, ensure
that it is oriented correctly before continuing.
3. Gently push the power supply and fan assembly into the chassis until it is firmly seated.
4. Using the Phillips screwdriver, secure the power supply and fan assembly to the chassis by
tightening the captive screw.
5. Plug the power cord into the power supply and fan assembly and power on the unit by setting
the AC power switch to the on (I) position.
6. Verify that the LED on the new power supply and fan assembly displays a steady green light
while the switch is operating. If the LED is not a steady green, ensure that the power supply
is installed securely and seated properly.
7. If the switch is installed in a rack, replace the plenum.
8. Optional: If you are using the CLI, enter the psshow command at the command-line prompt
to display the status. Power supply and fan assembly status can also be viewed using Web
Tools.

Federal Communications Commission notice

Part 15 of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Rules and Regulations has established
Radio Frequency (RF) emission limits to provide an interference-free radio frequency spectrum.
Many electronic devices, including computers, generate RF energy incidental to their intended
function and are, therefore, covered by these rules. These rules place computers and related
peripheral devices into two classes, A and B, depending upon their intended installation. Class A
devices are those that may reasonably be expected to be installed in a business or commercial
environment. Class B devices are those that may reasonably be expected to be installed in a
residential environment (for example, personal computers). The FCC requires devices in both classes
to bear a label indicating the interference potential of the device as well as additional operating
instructions for the user.
FCC rating label

The FCC rating label on the device shows the classification (A or B) of the equipment. Class B
devices have an FCC logo or ID on the label. Class A devices do not have an FCC logo or ID on
the label. After you determine the class of the device, refer to the corresponding statement.
Class A equipment
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device,
pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection
against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This
equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used
in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.
Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference, in which
case the user will be required to correct the interference at personal expense.
Class B equipment
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device,
pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection
against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can
radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions,
may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that
interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful
interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment
Regulatory compliance identification numbers 51

off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following
measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit that is different from that to which the receiver
is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio or television technician for help.
Declaration of Conformity for products marked with the FCC logo, United States only
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two
conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any
interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
For questions regarding this FCC declaration, contact us by mail or telephone:
• Hewlett-Packard Company P.O. Box 692000, Mail Stop 510101 Houston, Texas 77269-2000
• Or call 1-281-514-3333
Modification
The FCC requires the user to be notified that any changes or modifications made to this device
that are not expressly approved by Hewlett-Packard Company may void the user's authority to
operate the equipment.
Cables
When provided, connections to this device must be made with shielded cables with metallic RFI/EMI
connector hoods in order to maintain compliance with FCC Rules and Regulations.

C Electrostatic discharge and grounding recommendations
Electrostatic discharge recommendations
CAUTION: To prevent damaging the system, be aware of the precautions you need to follow
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 can
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 computer 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 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.
