Setting up the Nearline 10 Gig E switch
These procedures are for the HP ProCurve 2900 series switch.
If you are using a non-HP switch, apply the information in the following procedures
accordingly. Refer to the documentation you received with the switch as necessary.
It is not required that a GigE switch be dedicated to the Nearline system. If enough
“control” ports (non-iSCSI ports) are available on a switch or switches configured for
an online K2 Storage System (such as Level 10, 20, or 30), the Nearline system can
be connected to those control ports. If a separate GigE switch is necessary for the
Nearline system, and the GigE switch is not used for “media” traffic (real-time iSCSI
traffic) from an online K2 Storage System, you can use the following procedures to
set up the GigE switch.
• Assign an IP address and logon to each switch. Refer to “Configuring the GigE
switch via serial connection” on page 351 .
Configuring the GigE switch via serial connection
NOTE: Make sure you check the switch firmware and upgrade if necessary, as
instructed at the end of this procedure.
The following procedure is for the HP ProCurve switch 2900 series. Do not use this
procedure on other switch models.
For Nearline 10 with two switches, do the following on each switch.
Use a direct console connection to the switch, start a console session, and access the
Switch Setup screen to set the IP address.
1. Configure the PC terminal emulator on the control point PC or another PC as a
DEC VT-100 (ANSI) terminal or use a VT-100 terminal, and configure either one
to operate with these settings:
• Baud rate 115200
• 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity, and flow control set to Xon/Xoff
• Also disable (uncheck) the “Use Function, Arrow, and Ctrl Keys for Windows”
option
2. Connect the PC to the switch’s Console Port using the console cable included with
the switch. (If your PC or terminal has a 25-pin serial connector, first attach a 9-pin
to 25-pin straight-through adapter at one end of the console cable.)
3. Turn on the PC’s power and start the PC terminal program.
4. Press Enter two or three times and you will see the copyright page and the message
“Press any key to continue”. Press a key, and you will then see the switch console
command (CLI) prompt.
