1.8.2 Fibre Channel Switch Settings

This section explains how to configure Fibre Channel switches.


1.8.2.1 When Connecting ETERNUS Storage to Fibre Channel Switches

When disconnecting a disk from an ETERNUS RAID group, configure one-to-one WWPN zoning for the Fibre Channel switch registered on ESC. Therefore, it is necessary to register the Fibre Channel switch connected to ETERNUS and all Fibre Channel switches connected to it using a cascade connection on ESC.

For details on how to register to ESC, refer to the ESC manual.

Zoning settings may not have been configured for Fibre Channel switches. When zoning is not configured, ensure that temporary zoning is configured, since there is a chance that one-to-one WWPN zoning settings cannot be configured. For details on how to perform configuration, refer to the ESC manual.


1.8.2.2 When Connecting NetApp Storage to Fibre Channel Switches

In Resource Orchestrator, when disconnecting disks from NetApp aggregates, configuration of Fibre Channel switches connected to NetApp is not performed.

It is necessary to configure one-to-one WWPN zoning for Fibre Channel switches in advance.

It is necessary to define zoning combining the fibre channel switch combining the HBA Port WWPN value based on the WWN provided by the I/O Virtualization Option and the FC port WWPN value defined in the NetApp portset used in Resource Orchestrator. For details on the configuration method, refer to the manual of the fibre channel switch.


Fibre Channel Switch Zoning Settings

Set zoning combining the WWPN value of HBA Port1 and the WWPN value of defined FC port first in portset, and combining the WWPN value of HBA Port2 and the WWPN value of defined FC port second in portset.

In the following conditions, an example command for an ETERNUS SN200 is as follows:

Conditions

  • WWN value provided by the I/O Virtualization Option :"20:00:00:17:42:51:00:0x"

  • WWPN value of HBA Port1 :"21:00:00:17:42:51:00:0x"

  • WWPN value of HBA Port2 :"22:00:00:17:42:51:00:0x"

  • Definition of the NetApp storage portset (rcx-portset01) :"0a,0b"

  • WWPN value of FC port(0a) for NetApp storage :"50:0a:09:81:88:bc:43:dc"

  • WWPN value of FC port(0b) for NetApp storage :"50:0a:09:82:88:bc:43:dc"

Example Command

zoneCreate "f2020_a_0","50:0a:09:81:88:bc:43:dc;21:00:00:17:42:51:00:00"
zoneCreate "f2020_b_0","50:0a:09:82:88:bc:43:dc;22:00:00:17:42:51:00:00"
...
zoneCreate "f2020_a_f","50:0a:09:81:88:bc:43:dc;21:01:00:17:43:50:00:0f"
zoneCreate "f2020_b_f","50:0a:09:82:88:bc:43:dc;22:01:00:17:43:50:00:0f"
cfgCreate "ror_cfg","f2020_a_0;f2020_b_0;~~;f2020_a_f;f2020_b_f"
cfgEnable "ror_cfg"
cfgSave
