This software supports the ETERNUS SN200 MDS fibre channel switch and Cisco MDS fibre channel switch.
The following section explains the settings required beforehand for managing these fibre channel devices on this software. For detailed information on these items, see the manual supplied with the device.
Specify the IP address of LAN, subnet mask, and gateway address. Log in to the fibre channel switch device from the serial port, and specify them using the ip address command. Use the following procedure to specify the IP address.
switch# config t switch(config)# ip default-gateway [gateway address] switch(config)# interface mgmt 0 switch(mgmt 0)# ip address [IP address] [subnet mask] switch(mgmt 0)# exit switch(config)# exit
Register the device name for the fibre channel switch management. This device name is used as SysName of this software. This name should not overlap with other target items for management. Log in to the fibre channel switch, and specify the device name using the switchname command. Use the following procedure to specify the device name.
switch# config t switch(config)# switchname [device name] switch(config)# exit
This software uses the fibre channel switch and the Community name "public" for communication. It uses "public" for reading the device information.
The Community name "public for this fibre channel switch is not registered at factory shipment. Use the following procedure for registering the Community name.
switch# config t switch(config)# snmp-server community public switch(config)# exit
To change the SNMP Community name, change the setting of the device, and also change the setting of this software accordingly. For information on the settings of this software, refer to "SNMP_COMMUNITY_NAME_FOR_IP" in the "C.2 sanma.conf Parameter".
SNMP Trap is used for error monitoring. However, this fibre channel switch does not support the automatic setting function of the SNMP Trap send destination address. Register the SNMP Trap send destination address by using the following procedure.
switch# config t switch(config)# snmp-server host [IP address of the site manager] traps version 1 public switch(config)# exit
The SNMP Trap filter for this fibre channel switch is set up at factory shipment. However, this software cannot perform proper error monitoring with the SNMMP Trap filter setting at factory shipment. Change the SNMP Trap filter setting by using the following procedure.
switch# config t switch(config)# snmp-server enable traps entity fru switch(config)# snmp-server enable traps fcdomain switch(config)# snmp-server enable traps license switch(config)# snmp-server enable traps vrrp switch(config)# snmp-server enable traps link ietf-extended switch(config)# exit
Check whether the SNMP Community settings on the device side match the settings of this software. See "SNMP Community setting".
Check whether the Ethernet port communication speed has been set correctly.
If the network communication with the device is disabled, the physical connection line cannot be displayed. Make sure that the device is powered on and there is no problem with the LAN connection. Furthermore, check whether the SNMP Community settings on the device side agree with the settings of this software. For details, see "SNMP Community setting".
If the network communication is disabled because of device replacement or maintenance, the physical connection line is not displayed.
Check whether a hardware error (FC port, FAN, power supply, temperature, etc.) has occurred.
When the device is powered on or rebooted, initialization is performed in the device. While the initialization is being performed, if [Refresh] is executed, a warning message for the device may appear. If no error occurs on the device, execute [Refresh] again after the initialization of the device. The display then becomes normal (in green).
See "SNMP Community setting".
Note
Use SNMP protocol version 1 for managing the device. For error monitoring with SNMP Trap, also use SNMP protocol version 1.
The management is performed with SNMP communication only. You don't have to log in to the device through TELNET. When you register with this software, you don't have to enter your user name or password.
Use the ping command for polling monitoring.
Zoning management is not supported. For information on how to display the zoning information or to set up zoning, see the manual supplied with the device. When the access path is set up, only the settings of server and storage are changed.
The operations of cascade connection are not supported. Even if the device is connected in cascade, the information about cascade connection is not properly displayed. As a result, the access path through the cascade connection is not properly displayed.
The access path display of a manually embedded device is not supported.
On the related management window, the path search function and End to End list display function are not supported.
The performance information cannot be referenced using Systemwalker Service Quality Coordinator.
The beacon function is not supported.
