HP MPX200 Multifunction Router - Manual (Page 131)

Step 7. Configure FC switch settings for the MPX200
Execute the following commands for all B-series FC switches that will use the FCIP link:
•
B-Switch# switchdisable
•
B-Switch# iodset
•
B-Switch#aptpolicy [1 or 3]
•
B-Switch#portcfgislmode [ slot/ port], 1 (Must be set for all MPX200 FCIP FC ports
regardless of storage types)
•
B-Switch# portcfggport [slot/ port] ,1 (set for all MPX200 FCIP FC ports)
•
B-Switch# switchenable
For C-series FC switches, execute the following commands for each VSAN that uses the FCIP link.
Enter one command per line.
•
C-Switch# config
•
C-Switch(config)# in-order-guarantee VSAN n (where n stands for all VSANs
that use the FCIP link)
•
C-Switch(config)# vsan database
•
C-Switch(config-vsan-db)# vsan n loadbalancing [src-dst-id or
src-dst-ox-id]
•
C-Switch(config-vsan-db)# exit
•
C-Switch(config)# exit
•
C-Switch# copy run start
NOTE:
•
For B-series, specify 1 for port-based routing (all XCS versions) or 3 for exchange-based routing
(XCS 09534000 or later).
•
For C-series, specify src-dst-id for port-based routing (all XCS versions) or src-dst-ox-id
for exchange-based routing (XCS 09534000 or later).
•
For port-based routing, set the Continuous Access EVA data replication protocol to HP FC
Data Replication Protocol.
•
For exchange-based routing, use HP SCSI FC Compliant Data Replication Protocol.
Step 8. Cable the MPX200 FC, GE, and management ports
To cable the MPX200:
1.
Connect the management port cable to your Ethernet network, which is accessible from the
management server.
2. Connect the cables to the GE1, GE2, FC1, and FC2 ports as shown in the suggested
configurations in
Figure 89 (page 108) , “MPX200 high-availability configuration with one or
two long-distance links” (page 112) , “MPX200 configuration with remote IP Distance gateway
(mpx110)” (page 113) , or “MPX200 high-availability configuration with fully-redundant
long-distance links” (page 113) .
NOTE: Use a standard Cat 5e straight network cable to connect MPX200 GE ports to an IP
switch port. Use a Cat 5e crossover network cable to directly connect two MPX200s through their
respective GE ports without an IP switch.
