Enabling the Fibre Channel Switch
If you intend to connect your Profile system to a Fibre Channel switch instead of
a loop, you’ll need to load the appropriate microcode for the Fibre Channel board
as explained in Chapter 6, “Using Profile Utilities”, and set Fibre Channel Switch
Mode ON. You can do this in one of two ways:
• Type the following command from the Command Prompt: fcconfig -s on .
OR
• In Configuration Manager, select Enable Switch in the Fibre Channel
Network Configuration dialog box (see “Setting Up Fibre Channel
Networking” on page 102).
NOTE: You do not need to set the Fibre Channel hardware address of Profile
systems connected to the Fibre Channel switch. These addresses are assigned
dynamically in a fabric environment.
Once you’ve installed the required version of Profile System Software and loaded
the appropriate microcode and drivers on all the devices you are connecting to the
switch, you must configure each device for operation in a Fibre Channel fabric
environment.
To configure your Fibre Channel server or any device other than your Profile
system, refer to the installation manual for that device for instructions.
