This software supports McDATA Fibre Channel switch.
The items that must be set in the device to manage these Fibre Channel devices in this software are explained below. For details about these items, refer to the manual included with the device.
The LAN IP address, subnet mask, and gateway address are set. Log on to the Fibre Channel switch device from the serial port, and configure the settings using the config ip ethernet command. Set the IP address using the following procedure.
switch# config ip ethernet [IP address] [Gateway address] [Subnet mask]
A domain name is a unique name defined for a Fibre Channel switch in a SAN. Such names are necessary for a cascade connection of multiple Fibre Channel switches.
Set a value that is not duplicated inside the Fibre Channel switch to be cascaded. To use a cascade connection, log on to the Fibre Channel switch, and configure the settings using the config switch prefDomainId command. Set the domain name according to the procedure shown below.
switch# config switch prefDomainId [Domain name]
Register the device name used for Fibre Channel switch management. This device name is used as SysName in this software. It is recommended that you register a name that is not a duplicate of another management target.
Log on to the Fibre Channel switch and configure the settings using the config system name command. Set the device name using the following procedure.
switch# config system name [Device name]
This software uses the Fibre Channel switch and the SNMP Community name "public" for communication. It uses "public" for reading the device information.
The SNMP Trap send destination address must also be specified for the command used to set the SNMP Community name. For this reason, the settings shown in "SNMP Trap send destination settings" below are also required.
Set the SNMP Community name using the following procedure.
switch# config snmp addCommunity [Registration number] public enabled [SNMP Trap send destination address] 162
To change the SNMP Community name, change the device settings, and change the settings of this software to match. For details about changing the settings of this software, refer to "SNMP_COMMUNITY_NAME_FOR_IP" in the "C.2 sanma.conf Parameter".
Although SNMP Trap is used in fault monitoring, the SNMP Trap send destination address automatic settings function is not supported for this Fibre Channel switch. Register the SNMP Trap send destination address using the following procedure.
switch# config snmp addCommunity [Registration number] public enabled [SNMP Trap send destination address] 162
Check whether the SNMP Community settings on the device side match the settings of this software.
For details, refer to "SNMP community settings (required)".
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 match the settings of this software. For details, refer to "SNMP community settings (required)".
The following occurs if the network communication is disabled because of maintenance, for example, for device replacement.
Check whether a hardware fault (for the FC port, FAN, power, or temperature) has occurred.
Initialization processing is performed internally in the device when the device is powered on or restarted.
If the [Refresh] operation is executed during initialization processing, a warning may be displayed for the device.
If an error has not occurred in the device, normal display (in Green) can be achieved by executing [Refresh] again after initialization processing in the device is complete.
Refer to "8.2.1 Replacement of Fibre Channel switch".
Refer to "SNMP community settings (required)".
Note
Devices are managed using SNMP protocol version 1. SNMP Trap fault monitoring also uses SNMP protocol version 1.
Since management is only performed using SNMP communication, there is no TELNET logon to the device. For this reason, there is no need to enter a user name or password when registering the device this software.
ping is used for the polling monitoring.
Zoning management is not supported. Before displaying zoning information or configuring zoning settings, refer to the manual included with the device first. If the access path has been set, only the settings for server and storage are changed.
Display of the manually embedded device access path is not supported.
The path search function and the End to End list display function are not supported in the relationship management window.
The performance management function is not supported.
The beacon function is not supported.
140 ports are used for McDATA Intrepid 6140 Fibre Channel switch, but 144 ports are displayed in the client window. Of these, 4 ports, numbers 128 to 131, are ports that do not actually exist. This port information in the window is all dummy information.
12 ports from the 132nd to the 143rd of the McDATA Interpid 6140 are implemented on the back side of the device, but all ports are displayed in the client window as they are implemented on the front side.
