Compute Blade 2000 Compute Blade 500

Power LED (PWR)



(2) Checking server operation status

If the Fibre Channel Switch is operating during installing the ISL Trunking, Fabric Watch, Enter Prise or Fabric Vision license according to this manual, the communication lines of the Switch may be confused. Therefore, it is strongly recommended that all the Compute Blade servers be stopped and in standby state before installing the license.

Use the following flowchart to check the operation status and configuration of the servers.

Can all Compute Blade servers be stopped?

Yes

START

No

Have servers connected to embedded fibre channels all stopped?

Yes

No

Do servers connected to embedded fibre channels have alternate fiber channel paths?

Yes

No

Stop all servers and go to

Section 2 (Confirm the Fibre Channel Switch's

WWN).

You can proceed to license installation.

Go to Section 2 (Confirm the Fibre Channel

Switch's WWN).

Enable path to Fiber Channel Switch where

license is not to be installed, and switch paths.

Once paths have been successfully switched,

go to Section 2 （Confirm the Fibre Channel

Switch's WWN).

With this configuration, you need to stop all servers to proceed to license installation. Wait until all servers can be stopped.

If the Fibre Channel Switch is operating during installing the ISL Trunking, Fabric Watch,

Fabric Vision or Enter Prise license, the communication lines of the Switch may be confused.

This may result in loss of connection to servers or devices (such as servers and disks), which

may cause system down.

If you install a Fabric Watch, Fabric Vision or Enter Prise license and download configuration

information while servers are operating, be sure to follow the steps shown below.

Warning



Confirm the Fibre Channel Switch’s WWN

(1) Use a LAN cable to connect either the primary-side Management module or LAN

interface connector of Fibre Channel Switch module with the PC (for connection to the Embedded Fibre Channel Switch module). (For more information on the connection, see (2) Hardware/software

requirements for Management module connection in Section 2, "User Preparations" of Chapter 2.)

(2) Check that the Fibre Channel Switch is up and running. Telnet to the switch and login as an administrator (admin) with the appropriate user ID and password.

* For information on the user registration for the Fibre Channel Switch, see "Compute Blade Fibre Channel Switch User's Guide."

(3) Enter the licenseshow command to check that no purchased license has been installed.

Download Recommended Configuration Information

7-2 Download Recommended Configuration Information


Preparation for FTP server

To use the Fabric Watch feature, you also need to download a configuration file (containing the recommended configuration information) to the Fibre Channel

Switch in addition to installing the Fabric Watch, Fabric Vision or Enter Prise license. The download procedure in this chapter requires an FTP server to run on the networked UNIX system. If you have no FTP server connected to the Fibre Channel

Switch, you can use the PC connected to the Fibre Channel Switch as an FTP server by installing the standard Windows IIS FTP server on the PC. If you already have an FTP server connected to the Fibre Channel Switch, you can

skip installation of IIS FTP Server.

For detail on how to install of IIS FTP server, please refer to the Microsoft Corporation

site.


Chapter 3 shows the requirements to be met to perform any of the procedures in this chapter. If the configuration and status of the Compute Blade and Fibre

Channel Switches meet the requirements, go to Section 2 "Install the IIS FTP Server" or Section 3 "Download Recommended Configuration Information."

Otherwise, follow the steps shown in Section 1 "Check System Status" of Chapter 3

and activate the Fibre Channel Switch.

Download Recommended Configuration Information (1) Use Windows Explorer to locate the Fabric Watch configuration file and copy the file

into the "C:\inetpub\ftproot" on the PC connected to the switch.

(Copy the file, not the folder.) If you are going to use an FTP server other than IIS, copy the configuration file into an appropriate directory for FTP transfer.

Use the following configuration file contained in the supplied CD or in the embedded USB(Configuration file can be contained in embedded USB only if system is CB500):

i. CB2000

8Gbps Switch module: ¥ FW ¥CB2000¥ FWconfig_sw5460_*.txt

ii. CB500 8Gbps Switch module: ¥ FW ¥CB500¥ FWconfig_sw5460_*.txt 16Gbps Switch module: ¥ FW ¥CB500¥ FWconfig_sw6546_*.txt

If your installed license is the Fabric Vision or Enter Prise license, you can use MAPS

(Monitoring and Alerting Policy Suite) feature on 16Gbps Embedded Fibre Channel

Switch module. If you use MAPS feature, refer to “Monitoring and Alerting Policy Suite

Administrator’s Guide” in “Compute Blade Fibre Channel Switch Accessory DVD” to start

the MAPS. (2) Use a LAN cable to connect the PC and the Management module or Embedded Fibre

Channel Switch module (for connection to the Embedded Fibre Channel Switch

module). (For more information on the connection, see Section 3 " Confirm the Fibre Channel Switch's WWN" of Chapter 3.)



To telnet, use the same network address for the Fibre Channel Switch and PC, when you use a LAN cable to connect the PC and the Fibre Channel Switch module.

(4) Enter the switchdisable command to turn the Fibre Channel Switch offline.

(5) Enter the configdownload command to download the recommended Fabric Watch

configuration information.

This command is used to download a backed-up configuration

for a specific switch. If using a file from a different

switch, this file's configuration settings will override

any current switch settings. Downloading a configuration

file, which was uploaded from a different type of switch,

may cause this switch to fail. A switch reboot might be

required for some parameter changes to take effect.

8-2 Completion Steps


Check fibre channels for alternate path Now that your license is installed, you are ready to perform the completion steps,

depending on the action that you have taken during preconfirmation described in Chapter 3.

i. If you have switched to the alternate path to the Fiber Channel Switch where

the license is not to be installed.

If necessary, you should switch back to the path to Fibre Channel Switch where the license is installed.

This completes the process.

ii. If you have stopped only the servers connected to fibre channels.

No completion step is required. You have already completed the process.
