Brocade DCX 8510-8 Backbone Hardware Reference Manual - Manual (Page 120)

Reconnecting the system to the network and fabric
Refer to the cable routing information recorded in Cable routing table on page 121 for the following
steps.
Complete the following steps to reconnect the Brocade DCX 8510-8 to the network and fabric.
1. Connect the CP blades to the local area network.
a) 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 Brocade DCX 8510-8 can be accessed by remote connection using any of the
available management tools, such as Telnet or Web Tools. Ensure that the Brocade DCX
8510-8 is not modified using other connections during the rest of this procedure.
2. Reconnect the transceivers and cables to the port blades.
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.
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. Insert the cable
into the transceiver until the latching mechanism clicks.
c) Repeat step a and step b for the remaining ports.
d) Organize the cables as required.
NOTE
Do not route cables in front of the air exhaust vents.
Verifying correct configuration of the fabric
Copying the command outputs from this section into a file is recommended.
1. Create an "after" SAN profile by entering the following commands and copying the output to a text
file named SANafter.txt:
• nsShow
• nsAllShow
• switchShow
• fabricShow
• lscfg --show (if using the Virtual Fabric feature)
switch:admin> nsshow
