Overview

High availabilityThe following features contribute to the ED-48000B high-availability design:

◆ Redundant, hot-swappable components

◆ Redundant power supply and blower assembly subsystems

◆ Enhanced data integrity on all data paths

◆ Fabric Shortest Path First (FSPF) rerouting around failed links

◆ Integration with Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) managers

◆ Automatic control processor failover

◆ Nondisruptive “hot” software code loads and activation

◆ Easy configuration, save, and restore

◆ Hot-swappable World Wide Name (WWN) card

The high-availability software architecture of the ED-48000B provides a common framework for all applications that reside on the system, allowing global and local states to be maintained enough to manage any component failure. High-availability elements consist of the High Availability Manager, the heartbeat, the fault/health framework, the replicated database, initialization, and software upgrade.

The High Availability Manager controls access to the standby control processor, facilitates software upgrades, prevents extraneous switchover activity, closes and flushes streams as needed, provides flow control and message buffering, and supports a centralized active and standby state.

High availability 19

20

Overview

ReliabilityThe ED-48000B uses the following error detection and correction mechanisms to ensure the reliability of all data inside the chassis:

◆ All data inside the switch protected by the Error Detection and Correction mechanism, which checks for encoder errors and fault isolation (EDFI), such as cyclic redundancy checking (CRC), parity checking, checksum, and illegal address checking.

◆ Power-on self-test (POST).

◆ Dual control processors that enable hot, nondisruptive fast firmware upgrades.

◆ Each control processor contains two serial ports and one Ethernet port. Offline control processor diagnostics and remote diagnostics simplify troubleshooting. The standby control processor continuously runs diagnostics to ensure it is operational, should a failover be necessary.

◆ Inter-IC (I2C) monitoring and control.


Overview

ServiceabilityThe ED-48000B provides the following features to enhance and ensure serviceability:

◆ Modular design with hot-swappable components

◆ Redundant flash memory that stores two firmware images per control processor

◆ Extensive diagnostics and status reporting, along with a serial port to support an external, country-specific modem for remote diagnostics and status monitoring

◆ Nonvolatile random-access memory (NVRAM), containing the OEM serial number, EMC serial number, revision information, and part number information

◆ Background health-check daemon

◆ Memory scrubber, self test, and bus ping to determine if a bus is not functioning

◆ Watchdog timers

◆ Status LEDs

◆ Predictive diagnostics analysis through Fabric Watch

◆ SNMP integration with higher-layer managers

Serviceability 21

◆ 5 internal temperature sensors, 3 standalone and 2 inside the voltage monitor chip (DS1780)

◆ 16 Fibre Channel SFP ports supporting the Fibre Channel Routing Services with link speeds up to 1, 2, or 4 Gbit/sec

◆ 2 GbE ports supporting the FCIP and Fibre Channel Routing Services with link speeds up to 1 Gbit/sec:

• Each GbE port can support up to 8 FCIP tunnels

• Each FCIP tunnel is represented and managed as a virtual Fibre Channel E_Port

• Fibre Channel Routing Services can be used over the FCIP link

• Fabrics connected through FCIP merge if the ports are configured as VE_Ports, and do not merge if they are configured as VEX_Ports. If VE_Ports are used in a Fibre Channel Routing Services backbone fabric configuration, then the backbone fabric merges, but the EX_Port-attached edge fabrics do not merge. For more information see the EMC Connectrix B Series Fabric OS Administrator’s Guide.

Overview

WARNING

Upgrade firmware on the ED-48000B to the level required for any new blades before you install the new blades (v5.1.0 or greater for the PB-48K-18i). Do not install a blade into a director running an unsupported version of Fabric OS for that blade.

Note: The PB-48K-18i blade powers up in a persistently disabled state until the ports are persistently enabled. This allows you to configure new ports before enabling them in the system.

After the POST is complete, the firmware version on the PB-48K-18i blade will autolevel with the firmware version on the active CP. You must have Fabric OS v5.1.0 or higher or the PB-48K-18i blade will be faulted. For more information see the EMC Connectrix B Series PB-48000B-18i Hardware Reference Manual.


Overview

PB-48K-16IP bladeThe PB-48K-16IP blade enables bridging of iSCSI hosts to Fibre Channel Fabrics. It has eight Fibre Channel optical SFP ports and eight Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) copper RJ 45 ports.

Note: The number of initiators per port, blade, or chassis, depends on the version of Fabric OS and is subject to change from release to release. Please refer to the EMC Support Matrix available at Powerlink.emc.com for current information.

The PB-48K-16IP blade can only be installed in an ED-48000B director configured in chassisConfig mode 5, with Fabric OS v5.2.1a or higher. The PB-48K-16IP blade requires that the director have four power supplies.

The PB-48K--16IP blade provides the following features:

◆ Compatible with FC4-16, FC4-32, PB-48K-48, and PB-48K-18i in the same chassis

◆ Eight Fibre Channel SFP ports supporting link speeds of 1, 2, or 4 Gbit/sec

◆ Eight GbE ports for bridging iSCSI hosts:

• Support distances up to 100 m over Category 5e and Category 6 copper cabling

• The cable must contain four twisted copper wire pairs

• Support 1-Gbit/sec operation

• Support external electrical loopback plug

Note: After the POST is complete, the firmware version on the PB-48K-16IP blade will autolevel with the firmware version on the active CP. You must have Fabric OS v5.2.0 or higher or the PB-48K-16IP blade will be faulted. EMC requires version 5.2.1a.

Overview

Software featuresThe Fabric OS allows any Fibre Channel-compliant device to attach to the switches as long as it conforms to the device login, name service, and related Fibre Channel standards. Each operating environment requires that a Fibre Channel host bus adapter (HBA) be available with a standards-compliant driver for proper interface to the fabric.

Fabric OS consists of a set of embedded applications running on top of an embedded real-time Linux operating system kernel. These applications are the Name Server, alias server, Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) agent, and several tasks to manage address assignment, routing, link initialization, fabric initialization, link shutdown, switch shutdown, and the user interface.

Security Secure Telnet access is available using Secure Shell (SSH), a network security protocol for secure remote login and other secure network services over an insecure network.

Web Tools management is available through a secure browser using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL). The SSL security protocol provides data encryption, server authentication, message integrity, and optional client authentication for a TCP/IP connection. Because SSL is built into all major browsers and Web servers, installing a digital certificate turns on the SSL capabilities.

Networkmanageability

The ED-48000B has a single domain and is managed as a single element to a Network Management System (NMS). The director responds to its own IP address and appears as a separate entity to the Telnet protocol and SNMP.

All management interfaces, such as Telnet, Web Tools, the Fabric Access Layer API, and Management Server, support a “port N within blade M” naming scheme.

When SNMP devices send SNMP messages to a management console running SAN management software, the information is stored in a management information base (MIB). Fabric OS v5.x supports the latest Fibre Alliance Fibre Channel Management (FCMGMT) and Storage Management Initiative (SMI) MIBs, which allow common information necessary for management software to provide information to a SAN administrator. Refer to the EMC Connectrix B Series Fabric OS MIB Reference Manual for additional MIB information.


Overview

Port numberingExcept for the following cases, the area ID is equal the port number:

◆ When you perform a port swap operation

◆ When you enable Extended Edge PID mode on the director. For more information on Extended Edge PID mode, refer to the EMC Connectrix B Series Fabric OS Administrator’s Guide.

The ED-48000B uses the following port numbering schemes:

◆ FC4-16 port blade — ports are numbered from 0 through 15 from bottom to top.

◆ FC4-32 port blade — ports are numbered from 0 through 15 from bottom to top on the left set of ports and 16 through 31 from bottom to top on the right set of ports.

◆ PB-48K-48 port blade — ports are numbered from 0 through 23 from bottom to top on the left set of ports and 24 through 47 from bottom to top on the right set of ports.

◆ PB-48K-10G-6 port blade-ports are numbered from 0 through 5 from bottom to top.

◆ PB-48K-18i blade — the 16 physical Fibre Channel ports on this blade are numbered 0 through 15 from bottom to top. The two GbE ports are numbered from the bottom as Ge0 and Ge1. These ports, when fully configured, enable 16 VE_Ports or VEX _Ports and appear in the switchShow command as ports 16 through 31.

◆ PB-48K-AP4-18 blade-the 16 physical Fibre Channel ports on this blade are numbered 0 through 15 from bottom to top. The two 10/100/1000 BaseT ports are numbered from the bottom as A0 and A1.

◆ PB-48K-16IP blade-the port numbering is divided between the two type of ports. At the bottom of the blade are the Fibre Channel ports numbered from 0 through 7 from bottom to top. The next eight ports are GbE ports and are numbered from 0 through 7 from bottom to top.

Slots are numbered 1 through 10, from left to right when facing the portside of the director. Refer to Appendix C, “Port Numbering Template,” for a port numbering template for your SAN to easily identify how the ports are numbered. If you have a 16-port blade installed, cross out the extra ports displayed on the template.

Installation, Setup, and Login

OverviewThis chapter describes how to install the ED-48000B into a Connectrix® cabinet. It assumes that the cabinet has already been properly installed and connected to the local power source. Information concerning EMC® Connectrix cabinets can be found in the Connectrix EC-1500 Cabinet Setup and Installation Manual.

IMPORTANT!EMC recommends that the installation of the ED-48000B be performed by trained EMC service personnel. The content in this chapter is being provided for information purposes only and is not intended to be a "how to" manual for customer set up of the ED-48000B.

You can set up and install the ED-48000B in the following ways:

◆ In a 19-inch Electronic Industries Association (EIA) cabinet, using optional Connectrix ED-12000B-CNV Kit, available from EMC.

◆ In a mid-mount (Telco) rack, using the optional Mid-Mount Rack Kit, available from EMC.



Time and items requiredTable 2 describes the main installation and setup tasks and the estimated time required for each, based on a fully populated ED-48000B switch (384 Fibre Channel ports). Configurations containing fewer than 384 ports require less time. These time estimates assume a prepared installation site and appropriate power and network connectivity.

Site planning and safety guidelines

WARNING

A fully populated ED-48000B (384 ports) weighs approximately 216 lbs (96 kg) and requires a minimum of two people and a hydraulic or assisted lift to install it.

Do not use any of the bays (such as the power supply or blower assembly bays) for leverage.To ensure adequate cooling, install the chassis with the nonport side facing the air-intake aisle. This prevents the blowers from pulling in heated exhaust air.

If the switch is installed in a cabinet, ensure that the cabinet is balanced and secured mechanically and that the removal and installation procedure will not compromise cabinet stability.

The following steps are required to ensure correct installation and operation:

Note: Consult the Connectrix EC-1500 Cabinet Setup and Installation Manual for site planning information related to the cabinet.

1. Provide a space that is 14 rack units (14U) high, 29 in. deep, and 19-in. wide. (1U is equal to 1.75 in.)

2. Plan to install the ED-48000B with the nonport side facing the air-intake aisle.

3. Plan for cable management before installing the chassis (refer to “Managing cables” on page 39).

Cables can be managed in a variety of ways, such as by routing cables below the chassis, to either side of the chassis, through cable channels on the sides of the cabinet, or by using patch panels.

4. Ensure that two dedicated electrical branch circuits with the following characteristics are available:

• 200–40 VAC, 50–60 Hz

• Protected by a circuit breaker in accordance with local electrical codes



• Supply circuit, line fusing, and wire size adequate to the electrical rating on the chassis nameplate

• Location close to the ED-48000B chassis and easily accessible

• Grounded outlets installed by a licensed electrician, compatible with the power cords

Note: To maximize fault tolerance, connect each power cord to a separate power source.

5. Ensure that the blowers in the ED-48000B have access to a total minimum air flow of 350 cubic feet per minute (595 cubic meters per hour).

6. Ensure that the air-intake and exhaust vents have a minimum of 2 inches of airspace.

7. Ensure that the air temperature on the air intake side is less than 40 degrees Celsius (104 degrees Farenheit) during operation.

Providing power to the ED-48000B

Note: If a modem is to be used with the ED-48000B, it needs to be connected prior to powering on the switch. To install a modem, refer to Chapter 7, ”Setting Up and Installing Modems.”

To provide power to the ED-48000B:

1. Verify that the ON/OFF switch for each port blade and CP blade is in the ON position (see Figure 9 on page 62).

2. Verify that the AC switch covers are installed over the AC switches. These clear plastic covers fit over the AC switches with their edges tucked underneath the outlet covers; they prevent the AC switches from being powered on or off accidentally (see Figure 3 and the legend which follows the figure).

3. Connect the AC power cord retainers to the chassis: Orient a retainer against the AC panel as shown in Figure 3, place the retainer tabs under the two jack screws on either side of the power receptacle; and tighten the screws. Repeat for the other retainer (note that the power-cord retainers are oriented in the same direction as the power receptacles).

4. Loosen the clamping screw on each retainer, insert the power cords through the retainers into the power receptacles on the ED-48000B, and tighten the clamping screws. The power cords are designed to bend to the left, so each should route to an opposite side of the chassis.

5. Ensure that the power cord has a minimum service loop of 6 inches available at the connection to the switch and is routed so that it is not exposed to stress.

6. Connect the power cords to the PDUs within the Connectrix cabinet.

7. Flip both AC power switches to 1. The AC power switches light up green when switched on and power is supplied.

The ED-48000B automatically performs a power on self-test (POST) by default each time it is powered on. POST takes approximately 10 minutes and is complete when indicator light activity returns to the standard state. For information about LED patterns, refer to Chapter 4, ”Monitor System Components.”

CAUTION!To prevent a potential IP address conflict, do not connect the ED-48000B to the network until the IP addresses are configured. Refer to Chapter 3, ”Initial Configuration Parameters,” for additional information. Allow the ED-48000B to run for 10 minutes (minimum) to complete POST after powering on before you power off.

Establishing a serial connectionInitial communication to a ED-48000B switch requires a serial connection.

To establish a serial connection and log in to the director:

1. Verify that the ED-48000B is powered on and that POST is complete by verifying that all power LED indicators on the port blades and CP4 blades are displaying a steady green light.

2. Use the serial cable provided with the ED-48000B to connect the console port on the active CP4 blade to a computer workstation.

The console port is the second serial port from the top of the CP4 blade; the active CP4 blade is indicated by an illuminated (blue) LED. The “Active CP” LED in the standby CP blade should be off (not illuminated).

The console port is intended primarily for use during the initial setting of the IP address and for service purposes. If necessary, the adapter on the serial cable can be removed to allow for an RJ-45 serial connection.

3. Access the director using a terminal emulator application (such as HyperTerminal on Windows 95, Windows 2000, or Windows NT, or TERM in a UNIX environment).

4. Disable any serial communication programs running on the workstation (such as synchronization programs).

5. Open the terminal emulator application and configure as follows:

For most MS Windows systems:

Bits per second: 9600Databits: 8Parity: NoneStop bits: 1Flow control: None

For most UNIX systems, type the following string at the prompt:

tip /dev/ttyb -9600

When the terminal emulator application stops reporting information, press Enter. The following login prompt appears:

CP0 Console Login:

7. (Optional) Modify passwords, if desired. Passwords can be 8 to 40 characters long. They must begin with an alphabetic character. They can include numeric characters, the dot (.), and the underscore ( _ ). Passwords are case-sensitive, and they are not displayed when you enter them on the command line. To skip modifying the password, press Ctrl-C. For more information on passwords, refer to the Fabric OS Administrator’s Guide.

8. Check the “Active CP” LED on the CP blades in slots 5 and 6, or type haShow to verify which CP blade is active.

swDir:admin> hashowLocal CP (Slot 6, CP1): ActiveRemote CP (Slot 5, CP0): Standby, HealthyHA enabled, Heartbeat Up, HA State synchronized

The configuration can be modified only through a login session to the active CP blade.



Managing cablesThe new cable management tray introduced in the ED-48000B allows for simpler cable management. The new tray allows additional space between the chassis and shelf and can be installed without service disruption.

The ED-48000B cables can be managed in a variety of ways, including the following:

◆ Routed down through the cable management tray

◆ Routed out either side of the chassis

◆ Cable channels on the sides of the cabinet

◆ Patch panels

Two items are provided to assist with cable management:

Cable management tray

The cable management tray is attached to the chassis under the chassis door, and can be used to route the power cables and other cables down below the chassis or out the sides of the chassis (see Figure 4 on page 40).

Cable guides (pillars)

Cable guides (pillars) are provided with the ED-48000B, and can be used to organize the port cables into logical groups, such as according to port quads (sets of four neighboring ports). The cable guides do not attach to the chassis (see Figure 5).

Cable pillars are not supported when using the FC4-32 or PB-48K-48 port blades because the cable count is too dense, leaving no room for the cable pillars. Instead, you should use hook and loop tabs to group cables for the FC4-32 or PB-48K-48 port blades.

Figure 5 Cable guides (pillars) used to group cables

The cable guides serve to keep the cables evenly spaced and to hold them away from the port blades, making blade replacement easier and preventing the cables from bending to less than the minimum bend radius.

CAUTION!Do not route the cables in front of the air exhaust vent, which is located at the top of the port side of the chassis.

Arrange the cables so that the minimum bend radius is not exceeded; for a 50-micron cable, the minimum bend radius is 2 inches under full tensile load and 1.2 inches with no tensile load.

Tie wraps are not recommended for optical cables because they are easily overtightened and can break the optical cables.

scale: .50" = 1"

Managing cables 41

42


To keep LEDs visible and make it easy to replace components, route cables down in front of the blades, not across adjacent blades or in front of the power supplies. Figure 4 on page 40 provides an example in which cables for each blade are routed in front of that blade and are out of the way of other components.

Leave at least 1 meter of slack for each fiber-optic cable. This provides room to remove and replace the port blade, allows for inadvertent movement of the rack, and helps prevent the cables from being bent to less than the minimum bend radius.

Use the cable guides provided with the ED-48000B to group the cables. These guides help to keep individual ports accessible by keeping the cables evenly spaced. If ISL Trunking is in use, grouping the cables by trunking group is recommended. The ports are color-coded to indicate which ports can be used in the same ISL Trunking group: four ports marked with solid black ovals alternate with four ports marked with oval outlines.

Note: ISL Trunking is an optional Fabric OS feature that enables distribution of traffic over the combined bandwidth of up to eight ISLs between two directly adjacent switches, while preserving in-order delivery.

A minimum length is required for cables that connect the ED-48000B ports to device ports, as described in Table 3.

Initial Configuration Parameters

OverviewThe ED-48000B must be configured before it is connected to the fabric, and all of the configuration commands must be entered through the active CP blade. The ED-48000B configuration includes the following parameters:

◆ IP address and subnet mask for the chassis

◆ IP addresses, host names, subnet masks, and gateway addresses for both CP blades

◆ Director name

◆ Domain ID for the director (optional)

◆ WWN for the director

The director WWN is initially set by the factory to match the license ID (which is based on the chassis serial number). The WWN can be changed but the license ID cannot be modified.

The configuration information is automatically mirrored to the standby CP blade—allowing the most current configuration to remain available even if the active CP blade fails. The configuration information for the switch is stored in the WWN card and the flash memory of the CP blades. The configuration can be backed up to a workstation (uploaded) and then downloaded to the active CP blade if necessary.

The basic steps required for the initial configuration are:

1. Log in to the director.

2. Set up IP addresses.

3. Establish an Ethernet connection (optional).

4. Specify a director name.

5. Specify a domain ID for the director.

6. Verify that the PID mode matches the fabric and connect the director to the fabric.

7. Enable software licenses as necessary.

8. Back up the configuration.



Configure IP addresses for the ED-48000BThe ED-48000B director requires three IP addresses, which are configured using the ipAddrSet command. IP addresses are required for both CP blades (CP0 and CP1) and for the single logical switch (shown as SWITCH under the ipAddrShow command) in the ED-48000B director.

Note: The IP and gateway addresses must reside on the same subnet. The same gateway address must be used for both CP blades (these gateway addresses are referenced for the IP addresses).

Resetting an IP address while the ED-48000B has active IP traffic such as Fabric Manager, Fabric Watch, SNMP, or other applications can cause traffic to be interrupted or stopped. Changing the IP address causes a domain address format RSCN to be issued.

The addresses 10.0.0.0 through 10.0.0.255 are reserved and used internally by the switch. External IPs cannot use these addresses either.

The default IP addresses and host names for the ED-48000B are as follows:

◆ 10.77.77.75 / CP0 (the CP blade in slot 5 at the time of configuration)

◆ 10.77.77.74 / CP1 (the CP blade in slot 6 at the time of configuration)

Configuration changes can only be made through the active CP blade. If the CP blade in slot 5 is not the active CP blade, disconnect the serial cable and connect it to the CP blade in slot 6; then, log in as admin.

Follow these steps to configure the IP addresses for both CP blades (from the active CP blade):

1. Log in to the active CP as admin using the serial cable connection.

2. Set up the director IP address by entering the ipaddrset -sw 0 command:

swDir:admin> ipAddrSet -sw 0

Configure IP addresses for the ED-48000B 45

46


Enter the requested information at the prompts. Unlike the ED-12000B or ED-24000B, the only valid configuration for the ED-48000B is as a single domain (single logical switch), so you only need to specify the -sw 0 IP address. There is no -sw 1 in the ED-48000B.

3. Set up the CP0 IP address by entering the ipaddrset -cp 0 command:

swDir:admin> ipAddrSet -cp 0

Enter the requested information at the prompts.

4. Set up the CP1 IP address by entering the ipaddrset -cp 1 command:

swDir:admin> ipAddrSet -cp 1

Enter the requested information at the prompts.

Following is a sample IP configuration:

Establish an Ethernet connectionAfter using a serial connection to configure the IP addresses for the ED-48000B (refer to “Configure IP addresses for the ED-48000B” on page 45), you can connect the active CP blade to the local area network (LAN) if desired.

Note: Connecting the CP blades to a private network/VLAN is recommended.

By establishing an Ethernet connection, you can complete the ED-48000B configuration using either the serial session, telnet, or our graphical management interfaces: Web Tools, and Fabric Manager. Make sure that the ED-48000B is not modified from other connections at the same time.

To establish an Ethernet connection to the ED-48000B:

1. Remove the shipping plug from the Ethernet port on the active CP blade.

2. Insert one end of an Ethernet cable into the Ethernet port.

3. Connect the other end to an Ethernet 10/100 Base-T LAN.

The ED-48000B can now be accessed by remote connection using any of the available management tools, such as Telnet, Web Tools, or Fabric Manager.

4. To complete any additional ED-48000B configuration procedures through a Telnet session, log in to the switch by Telnet, using the admin login. The default password is “password”.



Customize a switch nameThe switch name of the ED-48000B director can be up to 15 characters long; can include alphabetic, numeric, and underscore characters; and must begin with an alphabetic character. The default name for the ED-48000B is “swDir”.

Note: Changing the name causes a domain address format RSCN to be issued.

To customize the name, follow these steps:

1. Type switchName followed by the new name in quotes.

swDir:admin> switchName "swDirector5"Committing configuration...Done.swDirector5:admin>

2. Record the new name for future reference.

Customize a switch name 49

50


Set the Domain IDEach switch in the fabric must have a unique Domain ID. The Domain ID can be set by typing the configure command. You can also allow the Domain ID to be automatically set. The default Domain ID for the ED-48000B is “1”.

To set the Domain ID:

1. Type switchDisable to disable the ED-48000B.

2. Type configure.

3. Type y at the “Fabric parameters” prompt:

Fabric parameters (yes, y, no, n): [no] y

4. Enter a unique Domain ID:

Domain: (1..239) [1] 3

5. Complete the remaining prompts or press Ctrl+D to accept the other settings and exit.

6. Type switchEnable to reenable the ED-48000B.



Verify the PID mode and connect to the fabricBefore connecting the ED-48000B to the fabric, verify the port identifier (PID) mode on the switch matches the other switches in the fabric. This parameter must be set identically on all switches in the fabric. This parameter is set using the configure command. For more information on PID mode, refer to the Fabric OS Administrator’s Guide.

To connect the ED-48000B to the fabric, follow these steps:

1. Add SFP transceivers and cables to the Fibre Channel ports, as required.

The ports are color-coded to indicate which ones can be used in the same port group for trunking; trunking port groups can be up to eight ports. Trunk groups are displayed by shaded or nonshaded ports. The ports and cables used in trunking groups must meet specific requirements. For a list of these requirements, refer to the “ISL Trunking” section of the Fabric OS Administrator’s Guide.

2. Position one of the SFP transceivers so that the key is oriented correctly to the port. Insert the transceiver into the port until it is firmly seated and the latching mechanism clicks.

Transceivers are keyed so that they can only be inserted with the correct orientation. If a transceiver does not slide in easily, ensure that it is correctly oriented. For instructions that are specific to the transceiver model, refer to the transceiver manufacturer’s documentation.

3. Position a cable so that the key (the ridge on one side of the cable connector) is aligned with the slot in the transceiver; then, insert into the transceiver until the latching mechanism clicks.

Cables are keyed so that they can only be inserted with the correct orientation. If a cable does not slide in easily, ensure that it is correctly oriented.

4. Repeat step 1 through step 3 for the remaining ports.

5. Organize the cables as required. For recommendations regarding cable management, refer to the “Managing cables” on page 39.

6. Verify switch and port status using the switchShow command. The switchShow command provides detailed information about the switch.

Verify the PID mode and connect to the fabric 51

52


7. Verify fabric connectivity using the fabricShow command at the prompt. The fabricShow command provides general information about the fabric.



Enable software licensesThe ED-48000B is shipped with licenses for Web Tools and Zoning factory installed. Licenses for other optional features are available by contacting your EMC account representative. To determine which licenses are currently enabled, use the licenseShow command.

swDir:admin> licenseshowAAbbccDDeeFFeeGG: Web license Zoning license Extended Fabric license Fabric Watch license Performance Monitor license Trunking license Security license

In the previous example, the license key is AAbbccDDeeFFeeGG. Make sure you keep a hardcopy of your license key in a secure location for emergency reference.

The 64-bit chassis ID is required to obtain and activate licenses for the ED-48000B. The chassis ID is available through the licenseIdShow command.

Both the licenseShow and licenseIdShow commands must be typed through the active CP blade.

For information about activating licenses, refer to the Fabric OS Administrator’s Guide.

Enable software licenses 53

54


Back up the configurationYou should save all key configuration data for the ED-48000B—including license key information—and upload it to a host for emergency reference. Routine backups of the configuration are recommended to ensure the current configuration is available if needed.

After all zoning configurations and other changes are complete, back up the configuration by typing configUpload at the prompt. The configUpload command uploads the ED-48000B configuration to the server so that it is available for downloading to a replacement switch, if necessary.

An easy way to backup configuration information is to enable logging on your telnet session and run the following commands and save the output in a file on a secure host.

Once you enable logging, run the following commands:

◆ configShow

◆ ipaddrShow

◆ licenseShow

◆ switchShow

You should also consider keeping hardcopy versions of key data such as passwords, license keys, and IP addresses. This is sensitive information and should be kept in a secure location.

Note: Passwords are not saved in the configuration file, and are not uploaded during a configUpload. Password information should be saved in hardcopy in a secure location for emergency reference, subject to your security and password management policy.

Replacing a port blade and filler panelThis section describes how to remove and replace port blades (see Figure 14 on page 77 and Figure 15 on page 78) and blade filler panels (see Figure 16 on page 79) from the ED-48000B.

A filler panel should be removed only when being replaced with a port blade or new filler panel. Any slot that is not occupied by a port blade should be occupied by a filler panel to ensure correct cooling of the chassis and protection from dust. Slots are numbered from one through ten, from left to right, when facing the portside of the directors.

CAUTION!Wear a grounded ESD strap when handling a port blade. The chassis has a grounding connection above the power connectors (see Figure 19 on page 98).

Do not force the port blade installation. If the port blade does not slide in easily, ensure that it is correctly aligned inside the rail guides before continuing. Installing a port blade with incorrect alignment damages both the chassis and the replacement part.

Hold the port blade by the edges of the metal pan. Do not use the ejectors to hold a port blade.

Disassembling any part of a port blade voids the part warranty and regulatory certifications. There are no user-serviceable parts inside the port blade.

Time and items requiredThe replacement procedure for each port blade or filler panel takes less than 10 minutes.

The following items are required for the port blade and filler panel replacement procedure:

◆ ESD (electrostatic discharge) grounding strap

◆ Workstation computer

◆ Replacement port blade or filler panel

◆ #2 Phillips screwdriver



◆ Small form-factor pluggable (SFP) transceivers (as needed)

◆ Optical cables (as needed)

Removing a port bladeTo remove a port blade:

1. Check the power LED, status LED, and port status LED to identify any possible problems with the port blade. See Figure 6 on page 57 for LED locations on the port blade.

A failed port blade can be identified by inspecting the LEDs on the front panel of each port blade (see Figure 6). The WWN bezel on the nonport side of the ED-48000B also displays a power and status LED for each port blade. Refer to the appropriate hardware reference manual for additional information about the LEDs on the WWN bezel.

2. Establish a Telnet or console session.

Before replacing a port blade, establish a Telnet or console connection to determine a failure and verify operation after replacement. Use the switchShow command to view the status of blades on the director. See the Connectrix B Series 5.3 Fabric OS Administrator’s Guide for information about how to check the status of hardware components using the command line interface (CLI).

3. Check for adequate cable slack.

Make sure there is plenty of cable slack to remove a port blade without optical, power, or Ethernet cable obstruction. Refer to “Managing cables” on page 39 for cabling guidelines.

4. Ensure that you have the proper spare part (filler panel or replacement port blade).

Make sure that the part number on the unit being replaced matches the replacement part number. The chassisShow command displays information about the port blades, including part numbers (xx-000xxxx-xx), EMC serial numbers, and additional status.

5. Ensure that traffic is not flowing through the port blade (port speed LEDs and port status LEDs should be off) prior to disconnecting cables.

Note: Before removing any cables from a faulty port blade, make a note of cable order (identify each cable via its physical port). This reduces confusion during recabling. If multiple port blades



are being replaced, replace one blade at a time to prevent confusion during cable reconnection. Before replacing a port blade, determine if it is the entire blade or only the SFPs or XFPs that are faulty.

6. Disconnect all cables and SFP or XFP transceivers from the port blade.

7. FC2-16, FC4-16, FC4-32, PB-48K-10G-6, PB-48K-16IP, PB-48K-18i, and PB-48K-AP4-18 port blades: Turn the port blade off by sliding the slider switch in the top ejector down, to the off position (see Figure 14 on page 77). This initiates a hot-swap request.

PB-48K-48 port blades: Adjust the ejectors to the open position (see Figure 15 on page 78). Unscrew the two thumb screws from the top and bottom ejectors on the port blade using the Phillips screw driver. Unscrew the top thumb screw until it pops out.

This initiates a hot-swap request.

8. Wait for the power LED to turn off in response to the hot-swap request (step 7) before uninstalling the port blade.

9. FC2-16, FC4-16, FC4-32, PB-48K-10G-6, PB-48K-16IP, PB-48K-18i, and PB-48K-AP4-18 port blades: Unscrew the two thumb screws from the top and bottom ejectors on the port blade using the Phillips screw driver.

PB-48K-48 port blades: Lever both ejectors open simultaneously to approximately 45 degrees and pull the port blade out of the chassis.

If the port blade is not being replaced by another port blade, install a filler panel to ensure correct cooling of the chassis and protection from dust. Refer to “Installing a filler panel” on page 83 for instructions.

Removing a filler panelTo remove a filler panel with a handle:

1. Unscrew the two captive screws from the face of the filler panel.

2. Grasp the handle in the middle of the filler panel faceplate.

3. Pull the filler panel out of the chassis using the handle.

Replacing a CP bladeThis section describes how to remove and replace a control processor (CP) blade from the ED-48000B (see Figure 17 on page 86). Each ED-48000B has two CP cards: one located in slot 5 and the other in slot 6.

The ED-48000B can continue to operate while one CP card is replaced if the other CP card continues to operate and no failover occurs (you can prevent failover by entering the hadisable command). The active CP card is determined by the most recent failover.

The configuration on the active CP card is automatically mirrored to the standby CP card; this section includes steps to ensure that the new CP card boots up as the standby CP card.

The new CP card automatically assumes the IP address and host name assigned to the slot.

If the new CP card does not have the same firmware as the active CP card, it must be upgraded or downgraded to the same firmware version.

CAUTION!To ensure adequate system pressure for cooling purposes, leave the faulty CP blade in the slot until you are ready to perform the replacement procedure.

To allow the current configuration to be copied to a new CP blade, that CP blade must be installed while the other CP blade is still operating.

Wear a grounded ESD strap when handling a CP blade. A grounding connection is available on the chassis, above the power connectors.

Hold CP blades by the edges of the metal pans, not by the ejector handles.

Disassembling any part of a CP blade voids the part warranty and regulatory certifications. There are no user-serviceable parts inside a CP blade.



WARNING

Do not attempt to replace the battery on a CP card. There is danger of explosion if the battery is incorrectly replaced or discarded. Contact your EMC service representative if the real-time clock begins to lose time.

Time and items requiredThe replacement procedure for the CP blade takes approximately 30 minutes.

The following items are required for the CP blade replacement:

◆ ESD (electrostatic discharge) grounding strap

◆ Workstation computer

◆ Serial cable

◆ IP address of an FTP server for backing up the ED-48000B configuration

◆ Phillips #2 screwdriver

◆ Replacement CP blade (An ED-48000B requires the ED-48000B CP blade (CP4))

Verifying the necessity of replacementIf you have not already done so, confirm that you need to replace the CP blade before continuing. The following events might indicate that a CP blade is faulty:

◆ The status LED on the CP blade is lit amber, or the power LED is not lit.

◆ The CP blade does not respond to Telnet commands, or the serial console is not available.

◆ The slotShow command does not show that the CP blade is enabled.

◆ The haShow command indicates an error.

◆ The calendar clock is inaccurate, or the CP blade does not boot up or shut down normally.

◆ Any of the following messages appear in the error log:

• “Slot unknown” message relating to a CP slot

• CP blade errors or I2C time-outs

• FRU: FRU_FAULTY messages for a CP blade

• Configuration loader messages or “Sys PCI config” messages

• Generic system driver messages (“FABSYS”)

• Platform system driver messages (“Platform”)

• EM messages that indicate a problem with a CP blade

• Function fail messages for the CP master

For more information about error messages, refer to the Fabric OS System Error Message Reference Manual.

Recording critical switch informationBack up the switch configuration before you replace a CP blade. Refer to the Fabric OS Administrator’s Guide for backup information.

To record critical switch information:

1. Log in to the healthy CP blade as admin, using either a Telnet or a serial console connection.

2. Type haShow to determine which CP blade is active:

swDir:admin> haShowLocal CP (Slot 6, CP1) : ActiveRemote CP (Slot 5, CP0) : Standby, HealthyHA Enabled, Heartbeat Up, HA State Synchronized


88


Note: Enter all remaining commands from the serial console for the active CP blade, unless otherwise indicated. For more information about commands, refer to the Fabric OS Command Reference Manual.

3. If the healthy CP blade is performing as the active CP blade, continue with step Step 5 on page 89. If the faulty CP blade is performing as the active CP blade, fail over the blades as described here:

a. Log in to the faulty CP blade as admin, using either a Telnet or a serial console connection.

If you connect successfully to the faulty CP continue to step b.

If you cannot connect to the faulty CP, remove the faulty CP blade for repair as follows:

– Turn the CP blade off and notify the ED-48000B of a hot-swap request by sliding the slider switch in the top ejector down to the off position (see Figure 6 on page 57).

– Wait until the active CP LED on the healthy CP blade is lit. You can remove the CP for repair.

b. Type haFailover. The healthy CP blade becomes the active CP blade.

c. Wait until the status LED on the healthy CP blade is no longer lit (indicating the failover is complete).

d. Type haShow from the healthy CP blade (the new active CP blade) to verify the failover.

Following is an example of failing over a CP blade in an ED-48000B:

Fabric OS (cp1)

cp1 login: adminPassword:swDir:admin> hashowLocal CP (Slot 6, CP1): ActiveRemote CP (Slot 5, CP0): Standby, HealthyHA enabled, Heartbeat Up, HA State synchronized

swDir:admin> hafailoverLocal CP (Slot 6, CP1): ActiveRemote CP (Slot 5, CP0): Standby, HealthyHA enabled, Heartbeat Up, HA State synchronizedWarning: This command is being run on a redundant controlprocessor(CP) system. If the above status does not indicate



'HA State synchronized', then the CPs are not synchronizedand this operation will cause the active CP to reset. Thiswill cause disruption to devices attached to both switch 0and switch 1 and will require that existing telnet sessionsbe restarted. To reboot a single logical switch on thissystem, use the switchreboot command while logged in tothat logical switch.

Are you sure you want to fail over to the standby CP [y/n]?

swDir:admin> haShowLocal CP (Slot 6, CP1) : Standby, HealthyRemote CP (Slot 5, CP0) : ActiveHA Enabled, Heartbeat Up, HA State Synchronized

4. Type firmwareShow to record the firmware version of the active CP blade.

5. Type haDisable from the active CP blade to prevent failover or communication between the CP blades during the replacement.

6. Logged in to the active CP, type the configUpload command to upload the switch configuration to a specified FTP server. Enter the requested information at the prompts.

Following is a sample of backing up the configuration files on the director:

swDir:admin> configUploadProtocol (scp or ftp) [ftp]: ftpServer Name or IP Address [host]: 123.456.78.90User Name [None]: userFile Name [config.txt]: config.txtPassword: xxxxxxxxupload complete

Removing a CP bladeThe ED-48000B director continues to operate while a CP blade is being replaced if the redundant CP blade is active and a failover does not occur (you can prevent failover by entering the haDisable command).

CAUTION!The core section within the ED-48000B director CP blades provides internal routing bandwidth that is always active on both CP blades. Removing a CP blade might impact user performance and should not occur until the replacement CP blade is ready to be installed.


90


WARNING

Do not replace the real-time clock battery on a CP blade. There is danger of explosion if the battery is incorrectly replaced or discarded. Contact your EMC service representative if the real-time clock begins to lose time.

To remove a CP blade:

1. Log in to the active CP as the admin user. You can use a serial cable or if you have connected the director to your IP network, you can use telnet, Web Tools, or Fabric Manger. You can determine which CP is active using the haShow command or view the active LED on the front of the CP.

2. If the CP you want to replace is the active CP issue the haFailover command. Wait until the failover has completed. Use the haShow command to verify the CPs are synchronized and the failover is complete.

3. Power off the blade by sliding the slider switch in the top ejector down to the off position (see Figure 17 on page 86).

4. Disconnect all cables (modem, serial, Ethernet) from the standby CP.

5. Unscrew the thumb screw from both ejectors using the #2 Phillips screw driver.

6. Lever open both ejector handles simultaneously to approximately 45 degrees and pull the CP blade out of the chassis (see Figure 17 on page 86).

Installing a CP blade

CAUTION!Do not force the installation. If the CP blade does not slide in easily, ensure that it is correctly oriented and aligned in the blade guides before continuing.

To ensure proper cooling, do not route cables in front of the exhaust vent (located at the top on the port side of the chassis).



WARNING

Use the same version of Fabric OS on both CP blades. Using different versions is not supported and might cause malfunctioning. If the replacement CP blade has a different version of Fabric OS, bring both blades to the same firmware version.

To install a new CP blade in the empty blade slot (#5 or #6), follow these steps:

1. Open the ejector handles to approximately 45 degrees; then, orient the CP blade so that the handles are toward you and the flat metal side is on your left.

2. Align the flat metal side of the CP blade inside the lower and upper blade guides in the slot; then, slide the CP blade into the slot until it is firmly seated.

3. Tighten the thumb screw inside each handle using the Phillips screwdriver.

4. Turn the CP blade on by sliding the ON/OFF switch in the top handle up, to cover the thumb screw.

5. Verify that the power LED is green (might require a few seconds). If not, ensure that the CP blade has power and is firmly seated and that the ejectors are in the locked position.

6. Connect the modem, serial, and Ethernet cables, as required to the new CP blade.

The new CP blade automatically assumes the IP address and hostname assigned to the slot.

7. Verify the installation, as described next.

Verifying operation of the new CP bladeTo verify that boot and POST are complete on the new CP blade (a minimum of three minutes), and that the CP blades have achieved failover redundancy:

1. Wait until the status LEDs on both CP blades are not lit.


92


Note: The status LEDs on the active CP blade displays amber until the active CP blade is fully operational, and the status LED on the standby CP blade displays amber until the CP blades have achieved failover redundancy.

2. Log in to the active CP as admin.

3. Enable the redundancy feature using the haEnable command.

4. Verify HA is enabled using the haShow command. The command output includes "HA Enabled Heartbeat Up" and "HA-state in sync."

If not, POST is not complete or the CP blades have not yet achieved redundancy. Wait one or two minutes and re-enter the command, until you can verify that redundancy has been achieved.

Note: If haShow indicates any errors after redundancy is achieved, contact EMC Customer Support Center.

5. Type slotShow. The command output shows the new CP blade as “enabled”:

swDir:admin> slotShow

Slot Blade Type ID Status--------------------------------- 1 SW BLADE 17 ENABLED 2 SW BLADE 17 ENABLED 3 SW BLADE 17 ENABLED 4 SW BLADE 17 ENABLED 5 CP BLADE 16 ENABLED 6 CP BLADE 16 ENABLED 7 SW BLADE 17 ENABLED 8 SW BLADE 17 ENABLED 9 SW BLADE 17 ENABLED 10 SW BLADE 17 ENABLED

swDir:admin>

6. Determine the version by typing firmwareShow.

Replacing a power supply and filler panelUse this procedure to remove and replace a power supply. The ED-48000B can continue operating during the replacement if at least one power supply continues operating. A minimum of two power supplies are recommended.

Note: You do not need to notify the ED-48000B of a hot-swap request for a power supply. The power supply bays are isolated; power supply filler panels are not required to ensure correct air flow.

The power supply unit slots are numbered 1 through 4 from bottom to top when facing the portside of the chassis. The AC power connector on the left provides power to the power supplies in slots 1 and 3; the AC power connector on the right provides power to the power supplies in slots 2 and 4 (see Figure 18 on page 97). The AC power connectors and the power supply slots are color-coded to identify which AC power connectors provide power to which power supply slots. Power supply unit labels for slots 1 and 3 and the corresponding AC power connector label are violet, and power supply unit labels for slots 2 and 4 and the corresponding AC power connector label are yellow.

For information about how to check the status of hardware components using Fabric OS commands, refer to the Fabric OS Administrator’s Guide.

Replacing a power supply and filler panel 95

96


Time and items requiredThe replacement procedure for each power supply takes less than 5 minutes.

A power supply unit or filler panel is required for the power supply replacement procedure.

CAUTION!To protect against AC failure on the ED,48000B, EMC recommends a minimum of one power supply in slot 1 or 3 and one in slot 2 or 4. Additional power supplies might be required depending on how many blades are installed. When one or more AP blades are present in the chassis, four power supplies are required for proper operation.

If only two power supplies are installed and they are both installed in slots corresponding to the same AC power connector cable, unplugging a single AC power connector cable powers down the entire chassis.

Disassembling any part of the power supply voids the part warranty and regulatory certifications. There are no user-serviceable parts inside the power supply.



Figure 18 illustrates the removal and installation of a power supply or filler panel, as described in the replacement procedures.

Replacing the WWN bezel and cardThe ED-48000B World Wide Name (WWN) card is highly reliable, containing fully redundant circuits; it does not usually require replacement under normal operating conditions.

Before replacing the WWN card, make sure you actually need to replace it by referring to the information provided under “Verifying necessity of replacement” on page 107. Contact your EMC Customer Service representative if you have any questions about whether the WWN card requires replacement.

If the WWN card does fail, the ED-48000B can continue operating until the new WWN card is installed as long as teh following objectives are strictly observed:

◆ The configuration is not modified

◆ No hardware components are replaced

◆ The ED-48000B is not rebooted.

The WWN card is located on the nonport side of the chassis underneath the WWN bezel (see Figure 2 on page 18).

This procedure requires a command line interface (CLI) to the ED-48000B. The CLI can be either a Telnet session or a serial console session; instructions are provided here for both.

Note: If a serial console is used, all commands must be entered through the active CP card unless otherwise indicated. For command details, refer to the Fabric OS Command Reference Manual.

CAUTION!Do not power cycle or reboot the ED-48000B or replace the CP cards or port cards until the WWN card is verified as functional or a replacement WWN card is installed. If any of these events happen while the WWN card is failed or uninstalled, the configuration information is lost, and it will be necessary to reconfigure the ED-48000B after installing the new WWN card.

Disassembling any part of the WWN card voids the part warranty and regulatory certifications. The WWN card contains no user-serviceable parts.



This section provides the following information:

◆ “Time and items required” on page 105

◆ “Verifying necessity of replacement” on page 107

◆ “Removing the WWN card” on page 108

◆ “Installing a WWN card” on page 110

Basic instructions for replacing the WWN card are provided in this document. Additional related information can be found in the ED-48000B WWN Bezel and Card Replacement Procedure.

Time and items requiredAllow approximately 20 minutes to replace the WWN card.

The following items are needed to replace the WWN card:

◆ Electrostatic discharge (ESD) grounding strap

◆ #2 Phillips screwdriver (required only for some versions of the WWN card)

◆ Required if a serial console session is used: Serial cable and a workstation computer with a terminal emulator application (such as HyperTerminal for Windows systems or TIP for Solaris systems)

Verifying necessity of replacementBefore replacing the WWN card, verify that the replacement is necessary. Any of the following events can indicate that the card requires replacement:

◆ Status LEDs on the WWN bezel (see Figure 12 on page 69) not reflecting the actual status of the components

◆ Problems viewing or modifying the data stored on the WWN card (see Table 12 on page 108)

◆ Error messages regarding WWN units #1 or #2 (see Table 13 on page 108)

To determine the status of the WWN card:

1. Check the LED indicators on the WWN bezel (see Figure 1 on page 17) and verify that they reflect the actual status of the components. The WWN bezel covers the WWN card and allows its LEDs to shine through. The LEDs on the WWN bezel provide a consolidated view of the port blade status, CP blade status, and power supply status. For information about how to interpret the LED patterns, refer to Table 11.

Note: The LED patterns might temporarily change during POST and other diagnostic tests.

Table 11 WWN LED patterns

LED location/purpose Color Status Recommended action

Port blade/CP blade power Steady green Power is okay. No action required.

Port blade/CP blade status Steady amber Card is faulty. Check card.

No light (LED is off) Card is okay. No action required.

NOTE: If a blade slot or power supply bay has a filler panel installed, the corresponding LEDs on the WWN card do not light up.

Power supplypower/status

Steady green Power is okay. No action required.

Steady amber Power supply is faulty. Check power supply.

NOTE: If a status LED on the WWN bezel flashes, the power LED on the WWN bezel also flashes, for increased visibility.


108


2. Check the WWN card status using the commands listed in Table 12 if you have problems viewing or modifying the data stored on the WWN card. Difficulty retrieving or modifying this data could indicate a WWN card failure.

3. An error message is logged that indicates the status of the WWN unit (see Table 13).

WWN units correspond to information specific to the WWN card and are displayed by the chassisShow command.

Removing the WWN cardThis procedure requires a command line interface (CLI) to the ED-48000B. The CLI can be either a Telnet session or a serial console session.

1. Open a Telnet session to the ED-48000B and log in to the active CP as admin. The default password is "password".

◆ Bent or damaged connectors on the main backplane (the surface inside the chassis to which CP blades and port blades connect) or on the blower backplane (the surface to which the blower assemblies connect).

◆ One or more ED-48000B components (such as a power supply, blower assembly, port blade, CP blade, or WWN card) do not function properly even after the component is replaced.

◆ An AC power switch shuts off automatically even though all power supplies are removed from the chassis.

◆ The psShow or fanShow commands continue to show a faulty component even though the component has been replaced.

◆ The slotShow command continues to show a faulty CP blade or port blade even though the blade has been replaced.


Chassis Replacement

Record critical switch and SAN informationAll commands must be entered from a CLI session (Telnet or serial) to the active CP card unless otherwise indicated. For detailed information about Fabric OS commands, refer to the Fabric OS Reference Manual. Use a checklist to ensure that all required information is recorded (see Table 14 on page 120).

To record critical switch and SAN information:

1. Open a Telnet session and log in to the ED-48000B as admin. The default password is “password”. Enable the logging function on your Telnet or serial console connection.

2. Back up the current configuration.

Type configUpload; then, enter the requested information at the prompts.

Note: The configUpload command can be entered through a Telnet or serial session, but you must have an Ethernet connection between the ED-48000B and the server name or IP of the host to complete the upload process. For more information, refer to the help configUpload command or the Fabric OS Command Reference Manual.

This command uploads the switch configuration to the customer-defined FTP server, making it available for downloading if required later on. For more information about this command, refer to the Fabric OS Command Reference Manual.

Remove and replace chassis

WARNING

An empty ED-48000B chassis weighs approximately 108 lbs (47 kg) and requires a hydraulic or assisted lift to move.

If the switch is installed in a cabinet, ensure that the cabinet is balanced and mechanically secured and that the removal and installation procedure will not compromise cabinet stability.

Do not place a ED-48000B chassis on the floor. It cannot be easily moved from the floor back onto a lift or pallet.

1. Uninstall the ED-48000B chassis from the installation location and place it onto an extra lift or on the shipping pallet originally provided with the chassis.Uninstall it from the cabinet, remove the rack mount hardware according to the manufacturer’s instructions, and set the hardware aside for use with the new chassis.

2. Unpack the new chassis:

a. Use scissors to cut the two bands that encircle the packaging.

b. Lift off the lid and remove the kits and foam from the top of the chassis.

c. Lift the cardboard box off the chassis and remove the plastic bag from around the chassis.Save packing materials for use when returning the old chassis.

d. Leave chassis attached to pallet if chassis must be transported to the installation location.

3. Transport the new chassis to the installation area, using a pallet jack or other assisted lift. If a pallet jack is available, place the tines into the gaps under the chassis.

Doorways must be wider than 36 in. (91 cm) to accommodate the chassis on the pallet.

4. Remove the pallet brackets and bolts:

a. Remove the four bolts holding the chassis to the pallet, using the 1/2-inch socket wrench.

Install components into new chassis

CAUTION!Do not force the installation of any of the components. If the component does not slide in easily, ensure that it is correctly aligned and positioned before continuing.

Do not turn on the power until it is time to verify hardware operation (see Step 1 on page 130).

1. Install the cable management tray on the new chassis, as described in “Replacing the cable management tray” on page 73.

2. Verify that both AC power switches are off (set to “0”); then, connect power cords and power cord retainers (which should still be on the cords) to the new chassis:

a. Connect the power cords to the power connectors on the chassis. The power cords are designed with right and left bends to facilitate cord management. Ensure that the power cord has a minimum service loop of 6 inches available at the connection to the switch and that it is routed so that it is not exposed to stress.

b. Tighten the adjusting screw on each retainer until the power cord cannot be pulled out of the retainer. This prevents accidental disconnection from the chassis.

c. Connect the power cords to the PDUs within the Connectrix cabinet.

Note: To protect against AC power failure, a separate power source is recommended for each cord. Routing the power cables out the sides of the chassis is recommended.

CAUTION!Do not turn the AC power switches on (set to “0”) until you verify the hardware of the system (refer “Verify correct operation of system” on page 131).

Verify correct operation of hardwareFollow these steps to power on the system and verify that the hardware is operating correctly:

1. Turn on both AC power switches by flipping them to “1”. The LEDs inside the AC power switches light up green when power is being supplied.

By default, the ED-48000B automatically performs a power-on self-test (POST) each time it is powered on. POST takes a minimum of three minutes and is complete when LED activity returns to standard state.

2. Verify that the ED-48000B is powered on and POST is complete (all power LED indicators on the port blades and CP blades should be a steady green).

3. Verify that all components are functioning correctly by checking the LEDs for each component.

If the LEDs do not indicate a standard healthy state, try reinstalling the corresponding component.

Configure new chassis serial numberYour EMC Customer Service representative will be provided with instructions for configuring the new chassis serial number.

Reconnect system to network and fabricRefer to the cable routing information recorded in “Cable routing tables” on page 137 for the following steps:

1. Connect the CP blades to the local area network:

a. Refer to the cable routing information recorded earlier and insert the appropriate Ethernet cables into each Ethernet port.

b. Connect the other ends to an Ethernet 10/100 Base-T LAN, if not already connected.

Note: The ED-48000B can be accessed by remote connection using any of the available management tools, such as telnet or Web Tools. Ensure that the director is not modified from other connections during the rest of this procedure.

2. Reconnect the transceivers and cables to the port blades, as required:

Note: The ports and cables used in trunking groups must meet specific requirements. For a list of these requirements, refer to the Fabric OS Administrator’s Guide.

a. Position one of the transceivers so that the key is oriented correctly to the port and insert the transceiver into the port until it is firmly seated and the latching mechanism clicks.

Transceivers are keyed so that they can only be inserted with the correct position. If transceiver does not slide in easily, ensure that it is correctly positioned. For instructions that are specific to the transceiver model, refer to the transceiver manufacturer’s documentation.

b. Select the cable that corresponds to the port and position it so that the key (the ridge on one side of the cable connector) is aligned with the slot in the transceiver; then, insert the cable into the transceiver until the latching mechanism clicks.

Cables are keyed so that they can only be inserted in the correct position. If a cable does not slide in easily, ensure that it is correctly positioned. For instructions that are specific to the cable type, refer to the cable manufacturer’s documentation.

Setting Up and Installing Modems

OverviewEach CP blade in the ED-48000B contains a modem serial port for connection to a Hayes-compatible modem. The modem serial ports are wired as standard DTE ports and have the same commands, login capabilities, and operational behavior as the terminal serial ports. However, asynchronous informational messages and other unsolicited text are not sent to the modem ports. No additional software is required to use modems with the ED-48000B.

Note: The ED-48000B detects modems only during power on, reboot, or a CP blade failover sequence. Setting up the modems before powering on the ED-48000B is recommended.

For increased security, any active modem sessions are automatically disconnected if the modem cable is disconnected.

For optimal security, disconnect the modem cable when it is not in use

IMPORTANT!Modems installed in the ED-48000B cannot be used for any EMC E-mail/Call home solution. They are intended as another method of connectivity to the switch.



Using high-availability connectivityHigh availability of the modem connection can be ensured by connecting a separate modem to each CP blade and then connecting both modems to a shared telephone line (see Figure 23 on page 144). This ensures an available telephone connection to the active CP blade even if a failover occurs; however, it is necessary to log back in after a failover. When both CP blades are connected to a shared telephone line, callers are automatically dialed in to the active CP blade, which answers on the first ring. If the active CP blade cannot answer for any reason, the standby CP blade answers on the seventh ring and allows login to proceed.

Note: If a modem connection is set up, connecting a modem to each CP blade is recommended.

Connecting modems

Note: Setting up the modems before powering on the ED-48000B and connecting it to the fabric is recommended.

The following items are required to set up two modems to work with the ED-48000B:

◆ Two Hayes-compatible modems, such as the Zoom/Modem V.92 EXT Model 3049

◆ Two standard modem cables, DB25 (male) to DB9 (female)◆ One RJ-11 “Y” adapter for standard telco wiring or equivalent

circuitry (three total connections)◆ One analog telephone line

CAUTION!Powering off the ED-48000B before connecting cables to the modem ports is recommended.

To connect modems to the ED-48000B:

1. Optionally power off the ED-48000B.

2. Set up the two modem units and corresponding power connections, but do not power on the modems until all cables are attached.

3. Connect the modem cables to the modems and to the ED-48000B RS-232 modem ports, as shown in Figure 23 on page 144.

4. Connect the telephone “line” inputs on the modems to the RJ-11 “Y” connector. This effectively places both modems on a single telephone line.

5. Optionally connect a telephone handset to one of the “phone” connections on the modems, as shown in Figure 23 on page 144.

6. Connect the “Y” adapter to an appropriate analog telephone line and document the dial-in number for later use.

7. Power on the modems and verify that the Modem Ready indicator illuminates on both units.

8. Power on the ED-48000B, or reboot if it was not powered off during the previous steps. This allows the ED-48000B to recognize the modems.

Connecting modems 145

146


Setting up a remote modem systemAfter the modems are connected, you can use a telco system to dial in to the modems and verify that they answer and communicate as expected. If a dial-out modem facility is not available, you can use a terminal emulation program on a computer workstation (or laptop) that has an attached modem.

This procedure is only required if a dial-out modem facility is not already available for testing the ED-48000B modem connections.

To set up the optional remote modem:

1. Connect the remote modem to the workstation, as shown in Figure 24.

2. Disable any serial communication programs running on the workstation (such as a synchronization program for a PDA).

Verifying the modem connectionThis section provides information about how to verify that the modems are correctly connected.

Note: This procedure requires either a telco system to dial in to the modems or a terminal emulation program on a laptop or workstation that has an attached modem. Refer to “Setting up a remote modem system” on page 146 for instructions on setting up a remote modem with a terminal emulation program.

To verify the modem connection:

1. Verify that both modem cables are firmly connected.

2. Power on the modems, if not already on.

Note: The modems must be powered on and operational before the ED-48000B is powered on, to allow the ED-48000B to detect the modems during boot.

3. Verify that both modems indicate they are ready by illuminating their “Clear to Send” (CS), “Terminal Ready” (TR), and “Modem Ready” (MR) indicators. If this does not occur, ensure that the modems are connected to a power source and are powered on, and check all modem cable connections.

4. Verify that POST is complete on the ED-48000B (a minimum of 3 minutes).

5. Dial in to the telephone number assigned to the ED-48000B, using a telco system to dial in to the modems or the setup described in “Setting up a remote modem system” on page 146.

6. Observe the modem lamps: the Ring indicator should flash briefly as the telephone rings. If the Ring indicator does not flash on both units, recheck the incoming telephone lines to the modems.

7. Verify that after one ring, the “Off Hook” (OH) indicator illuminates on the modem associated with the active CP blade (usually in slot 5)and a login prompt is presented to the remote client.



8. Log in to the switch from the remote client as admin. The default password is “password”.

Note: If the Off Hook indicator illuminates on the standby CP blade modem, recheck the modem cable connection to the active CP blade.

9. Log out of the modem session.

Fibre Channel port specificationsThe Fibre Channel ports in the ED-48000B support full-duplex link speeds at 4.25, 2.125 or 1.0625 Gb/sec inbound and outbound, automatically negotiating to the highest common speed of all devices connected to the port. Each port has a SerDes (serializer/deserializer) that accepts 10-bit wide parallel data and serializes it into a high-speed serial stream. The parallel data is expected to be “8B/10B” encoded data or equivalent.

The ports are compatible with optical SWL (short wavelength: 780-850 nm), optical LWL (long wavelength: 1270-1350 nm), and Extended Long Wavelength (ELWL) laser transmitter SFPs and XFPs (PB-48K-10G-6 only). The strength of the signal is determined by the type of SFP or XFP in use.

The ports are universal and self-configuring, capable of becoming F_Ports (fabric ports), FL_Ports (fabric loop enabled), or E_Ports (expansion ports).

The ports meet all required safety standards. For a listing of these standards, refer to “Regulatory compliance specifications” on page 170.

Specifications

Serial port specificationsEach CP blade provides a three-wire terminal serial port (labeled 10101) that has a “DB-9” male connector and an RS-232 signal subset.

Note: To provide dust and ESD protection, keep the cover on the serial port whenever the port is not in use.The terminal serial port is intended primarily for use during the initial setting of the IP address and for service purposes.

The serial port can be used to connect to a computer workstation or terminal without connecting to the fabric. The terminal device should be configured to 9600 baud, 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit, with no flow control.

A 10 ft. (3.0 m) serial cable is provided with the switch; it can be converted from a DB-9 serial cable to an RJ-45-style serial cable by removing the adapter on the end of the cable.

The terminal serial port requires a straight-through serial cable with a female 9-pin subminiature-D connector. Use the pinouts listed in Table 26.

Specifications

Modem serial port specificationsEach CP blade has a modem serial port (labeled RS-232) with a fully RS-232 compliant DB-9 connector (see Figure 9 on page 62 for location of port).

Note: For dust and electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection, keep the cover on the serial port whenever the port is not in use.

The modem port can be used for attaching a modem to each CP blade. The ED-48000B detects modems only during the power on or reboot sequences, and automatically initializes them for operation. If modems are connected to an operating switch, a power on/off cycle, reboot, or fast reboot is required to detect the modem(s).

If both modems are connected to the telephone line by a “Y” cable, the active CP blade answers on the first ring; if the active CP blade fails to answer, the standby CP blade answers on the seventh ring.

The pinouts for the modem serial port are shown in Table 27.

Troubleshooting

OverviewThe ED-48000B includes a number of diagnostic aids to assist with troubleshooting, including LEDs on the hardware, commands that display current status, diagnostic tests for hardware and software, and error messages. In addition, a number of managing and monitoring features are available, such as Fabric Manager, Web Tools, Fabric Watch, and Performance Monitoring.

If the ED-48000B does not operate as expected, the following steps can be taken to diagnose the problem:

◆ Check the LEDs and refer to the LED tables (refer to Chapter 4, ”Monitor System Components”) for interpretation and recommended actions.

◆ Review the results of the last POST run by the ED-48000B (refer to “Interpreting POST and boot results” on page 184).

◆ Review the error logs (refer to the Fabric OS System Error Message Reference Manual and the for more information).

◆ Type the sensorShow command to determine the status of the hardware components.

◆ Run diagnostic tests (refer to “Diagnostics” on page 186).

◆ Reboot the switch or power the entire chassis off/on.

If the problem is still unresolved after these steps, contact your EMC Customer Service representative. The information required in order to provide assistance is listed under “Where to get help” on page 11.


Troubleshooting

Obtaining chassis and component statusThe CLI commands listed in Table 31 provide status and environmental information about the chassis and its components. These commands provide information only, and they do not interrupt traffic flow. For more information about these commands, refer to the Fabric OS Command Reference Manual.

Obtaining chassis and component status 183

184

Troubleshooting

Interpreting POST and boot resultsThe ED-48000B performs power on self-test (POST) by default each time the chassis is powered on or the ED-48000B is rebooted or reset. The ED-48000B can be rebooted using the switchReboot, reboot (to reboot each CP individually), or fastBoot commands. The fastBoot command reboots the switches without running POST. If the active CP blade is rebooted, it fails over to the standby CP blade.

POST Each time the switch is powered on or reset, the switch automatically performs POST, a system check during which LED patterns might vary.

To verify that POST has completed without error:

◆ Verify that all LEDs return to a normal state after POST completes (refer to Chapter 4, ”Monitor System Components”).

◆ If one or more LEDs do not return to a normal state, and this is not due to the switch being set to beacon, refer to the relevant LED table to identify and correct the problem. For port blades and CP blades, the slotShow command can be used to check the status of the slots. For information about turning beaconing on/off, refer to the Fabric OS Administrator’s Guide.

◆ Verify that the switch prompt appears when POST completes.

◆ If the switch prompt does not appear, POST was not successfully completed. Contact your EMC service representative for support.

◆ Review the system error log using the errShow or errDump commands.

◆ Any errors detected during POST are written to the system log, which is accessible through the errShow command. For information about error messages, refer to the Fabric OS System Error Message Reference Manual.

POST includes the following steps:

1. Preliminary POST diagnostics are run.

2. Operating system is initialized.

3. Hardware is initialized.


Troubleshooting

4. Diagnostic tests are run on several functions, including circuitry, port functionality, ability to send and receive frames, all aspects of memory, parity, statistics counters, and serialization.

Boot In addition to POST, boot includes the following steps after POST is complete:

1. Universal port configuration is performed.

2. Links are initialized.

3. Fabric is analyzed. If any ports are connected to other switches, the switch participates in a fabric configuration.

4. The switch obtains a domain ID and assigns port addresses.

5. Unicast routing tables are constructed.

6. Normal port operation is enabled.

Interpreting POST and boot results 185

186

Troubleshooting

DiagnosticsDiagnostic tests are automatically run during POST to check the status of the switch. Any error messages generated during POST are sent to the error logs and to the serial console, if connected.

Diagnostic tests can also be run manually to test and troubleshoot the hardware and the firmware, including internal connections and circuitry, transceivers, and port cables. However, diagnostic tests are generally intended for use by support personnel.

Note: Error messages do not necessarily indicate that the switch requires maintenance.

Each diagnostic test can be implemented by entering the related command through a Telnet or serial session. For a list of diagnostic tests and commands, refer to the.

All diagnostic tests are run at link speeds of both 1 and 2 Gb/sec. They might temporarily lock the transmit and receive speeds to a specific speed. Some diagnostic tests require interconnecting the ports to each other or using loopback plugs. If ports are interconnected, the media (cables and transceivers) at each end of the connection must be of the same type. For example, short wavelength media must be connected to short wavelength media, and likewise with long wavelength media and copper media.

For more information about diagnostic tests and how to run them, refer to the Fabric OS Administrator’s Guide and the Fabric OS Command Reference Manual. For information about system error messages (errShow or errDump), refer to the Fabric OS System Error Message Reference Manual.


Troubleshooting

Troubleshooting the ED-48000BTable 32 provides a list of issues, possible causes, and recommended actions.

Table 32 Troubleshooting the ED-48000B (1 of 4)

Issue Possible cause Recommended action

Entire chassis powers off automatically. Power supplies are inadequate to support the installed components.

Add an additional power supply.

Several or all components are not operating.

One or both power cables may not be connected to a live source.

Ensure that both power cables are connected to live outlets.

One or both AC power switches might be off.

Ensure that both AC power switches are on (AC switches light up green when on).

Serial connection is faulty or serial port logs have incorrect or missing information.

Serial cable is not connected correctly. Ensure that the cable is firmly connected to workstation computer and to the ED-48000B.

Terminal emulator application parameters are not set correctly.

Ensure that the terminal emulator application is configured as follows: 9600 bits per second, 8 databits, no parity, 1 stop bit, no flow control.

Serial port might be incompatible (only RS-232 is supported).

Ensure that the ED-48000B is connected to an RS-232 port. RS-423 serial ports might experience difficulties due to corner-case incompatibilities of the standards.

Pins on the serial cable or serial port might be damaged.

Remove the cable and inspect the pins on the cable and in the serial port. Do not reinstall if the pins on either component have any visible damage, as this could damage the pins on the other component. Replace components as required.

Troubleshooting the ED-48000B 187

Troubleshooting

Modems are not detected by switch. Modems were connected after the ED-48000B was powered on.

Reboot the CP blade(s) to which the modem(s) are connected.

Modems are connected to the wrong ports on the CP blades.

Ensure that the modem cables are connected to the ports labeled “RS232” (the serial ports intended for terminal use are labeled 10101).

Modems are not correctly configured. Verify that the modems are configured as specified in Chapter 7, ”Setting Up and Installing Modems.”

Pins on the modem cable or modem port might be damaged.

Remove the cable and inspect the pins on the cable and in the port. Do not reinstall if the pins on either component have any visible damage, as this could damage the pins on the other component. Replace components as required.

CP Ethernet link speed is different than expected or a link cannot be established.

There might be a conflict with the CP Ethernet link speed negotiation set up by the network.

Specify the CP Ethernet link speed by typing the ifModeSet command.

Configuration data is inaccurate or cannot be accessed.

Chassis was powered off/on while the WWN card was uninstalled or failed.

Install an operational WWN card and power the system off/on again.

The switch was rebooted while the WWN card was uninstalled or failed.

Initial set up results in IP address/Domain ID conflict.

The switch was connected to the fabric before being configured.

Refer to Chapter 3, ”Initial Configuration Parameters,” and the for configuration information.




Troubleshooting

LEDs on one or more components are changing rapidly or do not indicate a healthy state.

The ED-48000B might be booting or running POST.

Verify that boot and POST are complete. The ED-48000B requires a minimum of 3 minutes, usually, after power on to complete POST.

Beaconing might be on for the entire ED-48000B or for individual components.

Determine whether beaconing is on by typing the switchShow command and determine whether switch beaconing or blade beaconing is on.

Individual components might have failed. Refer to the LED tables in Chapter 4, ”Monitor System Components,” for interpretation and recommended actions.

Pins on the components might be damaged.

Remove component from chassis and inspect pins on component and inside chassis. Do not reinstall if pins on either component are visibly damaged, as this could damage pins on other component. Replace parts as required.

None of the LEDs on an individual component are on.

Component might not be seated correctly. Ensure that the ED-48000B has power and component is firmly seated. If problem continues, type the sensorShow command to determine component status. If component is a CP blade or port blade, type the slotShow command to determine status.

Component might have failed. Replace component as necessary.

CP blades are failing over frequently. A third-party application has a memory leak.

Check application for memory leaks.

There is excessive serial port activity. Ensure that serial port activity remains below specified amount.

CP blade is attached to an Ethernet port with high traffic loads.

Ensure that Ethernet traffic remains below specified amount

Chassis is overheated. Type the sensorShow command to check internal temperature. If components are overheating, shut down port blades as necessary to return the temperature to operating range.
