Introducing the SAN I/O Module

Chapter

1

The M5424 Fibre Channel SAN I/O Module is a 24-port Fibre Channel module with 8 external ports and 16 internal ports that installs in a Dell PowerEdge M1000e Blade Server Enclosure. Although the product may ship with a specific number of ports enabled, it can upgraded to 24 ports through

Ports on Demand (POD) licensing. These ports support link speeds up to 8 Gbps.

NOTE

You can also install 4 Gbps SFPs in the SAN I/O Module. All SFPs must be Brocade-branded.

Fabric OS Native and Access Gateway modes

The SAN I/O Module can function in either Fabric OS Native mode or Brocade Access Gateway mode.

• The SAN I/O Module is shipped in Fabric OS Native mode by default.

• Access Gateway simplifies SAN deployment by using NPIV. NPIV provides Fibre Channel switch functions that improve SAN I/O Module scalability, manageability, and interoperability. For more information on Access Gateway, refer to the following:

For a list of SAN I/O Module F_Ports mapped to N_Ports in the SAN I/O Module as shipped

from the factory, refer to “Access Gateway Mode default port mapping” on page 25.

For general information and details on using Access Gateway, refer to the Brocade Access

Gateway Administrator’s Guide.

Since Access Gateway relies on NPIV technology for its connection to the edge fabric you may have to prepare the edge fabric before connecting it to Access Gateway. Please refer to the SAN TECH NOTE – Preparing to Install the Brocade Access Gateway for specific instructions.

NOTE

Access Gateway cannot be connected directly into an array; it requires a fabric to support NPIV.

Features available on the SAN I/O Module depend on whether the module is configured in

Access Gateway or Fabric OS Native mode.

Fabric OS Native mode

The SAN I/O Module has the following features when operating in Fabric OS Native mode:

• Up to 8 external autosensing (2, 4 and 8 Gbps) Fibre Channel ports. These universal and self-configuring ports are capable of becoming one of the following port types:

F_Port (fabric enabled)

FL_Port (fabric loop enabled)

E_Port (expansion port)


53-1001082-01

These ports are capable of Brocade ISL Trunking with appropriate licensing.

• Up to 16 internal backplane F_Ports. Each port can automatically negotiate its speed at either

4 Gbps or 8 Gbps to match the speed of attached devices.

• Dynamic ports on demand, which allows ports to be activated as needed based on available licenses.

• Frame filtering that augments the hardware zoning capabilities of the Brocade ASIC, which implements hardware zoning at the port level of the SAN I/O Module.

• Brocade ASIC expanded capabilities, including World Wide Name (WWN) and device-level zoning.

• Hardware zoning implemented by firmware-accessible table per output port.

• Extensive diagnostics and monitoring capabilities.

• Unicast and broadcast data traffic support.

• Up to eight Brocade-branded small form-factor pluggable (SFP) optical transceivers.

Although the product ships with a specific number of transceivers, you can add additional transceivers by purchasing a Ports on Demand (POD) license.

NOTE

You can also install 4 Gbps SFPs in the SAN I/O Module, however all SFPs must be

Brocade-branded.

• One serial console port on the front panel.

• One green and amber light-emitting diode (LED) above each port to indicate port status.

If dark, the port is unlicensed.

• The following system LEDs:

One green power LED to indicate module power-on.

One green/amber LED to indicate module status.

One blue, identify module and flash blue to locate module.

See

“Interpreting LED activity” on page 22 for details about the SAN I/O Module LEDs.

Access Gateway mode

• Up to 8 autosensing (2, 4, and 8 Gbps) Fibre Channel ports. These are universal and self-configuring ports capable of becoming the following types:

F_Port (fabric enabled)

N_Port (fabric enabled)

• Up to 16 internal backplane F_Ports. Each port can automatically negotiate its speed at either

4 Gbps or 8 Gbps to match the speed of attached devices

• Dynamic ports on demand, which allows any port to be activated as needed based on available licenses.

• Up to eight Brocade-branded small-form-factor pluggable (SFP) optical transceivers.

The SAN I/O module ships with a specific number of 8 Gbps SFPs. If you purchase a POD license, you will receive additional SFPs.

See

“Interpreting LED activity” on page 22 for details about the SAN I/O Module LEDs.

Ports on Demand (POD)

The SAN I/O Module ships with a specific number of active ports. You can allocate a POD license to activate additional ports. The SAN I/O Module supports two licensing methods: static and dynamic

(module default).

• For Dynamic POD, 12 licenses are available for the first 12 active ports. Ports 17 and 18 are licensed at the factory. The remaining 10 licenses are assigned to active ports as required.

Once licenses are issued, they can be moved from one port to another, making port licensing more flexible.

•

For static POD, Table 1

shows the base internal and external ports that are licensed, as well as the additional 12 ports that can be activated with a POD license. For details about activating and deactivating additional ports when you have POD licensing, refer to

“Activating Ports on

Demand (POD)” on page 17.

ISL trunking groups

SFPs

NOTE

You must install Brocade-branded SFPs in the SAN I/O Module.

The SAN I/O Module was designed to work with small form-factor pluggable (SFP) optical modules.

The SAN I/O Module ships with a specific number of 8 Gbps Brocade-branded SFPs. If you purchase a POD license, you will receive additional SFPs.

NOTE

You can also install 4 Gbps SFPs in the SAN I/O module, All SFPs must be Brocade-branded.

SFPs provide optical connections to external devices for both SWL and LWL connections. Replace

SFPs with a new pluggable unit rather than replacing the SAN I/O Module. Refer to the manufacturer’s instructions when installing SFPs.

“Removing and replacing the SAN I/O Module” on page 23 provides details about removing SFPs

from the SAN I/O Module.

For a complete list of SFPs and other interoperable hardware, visit the Brocade Connect Web site at: http://www.brocadeconnect.com and follow the links to the latest compatibility information.

ISL trunking groups

If your SAN I/O Module has a Brocade ISL Trunking license, external ports can form trunking groups of ISLs between adjacent switches. Ports that can be used within the same trunking group are color-coded on the SAN I/O Module’s port side for easy identification.

All external ports (0, 17-23) can be formed into a single 8-port trunk if the attached switch supports an 8-port trunk. The ports can also form 2-port, 3-port, 4-port trunks, or.a 5-port or7-port trunk. For details about Brocade ISL Trunking, see the Brocade Fabric OS Procedures Guide .

NOTE

Only the external ports are available for trunking.

Connecting the SAN I/O Module to the Ethernet network

Once you have successfully set the appropriate IP address of the SAN I/O Module, you can establish an Ethernet connection through the Chassis Management Controller (CMC) to a remote management workstation for any additional configuration. The management workstation must be on the same Ethernet subnet as the CMC.

NOTE

Ensure that the SAN I/O Module is not being modified from any other connection until configuration is complete.

Connecting the SAN I/O Module to the fabric

NOTE

Refer to “Cabling guidelines” on page 8 before beginning the following procedure.

Before beginning the following steps, determine whether the SAN I/O Module is in Brocade Access

Gateway or Fabric OS Native mode. This affects the configuration process. Using the SAN I/O

Module CLI, enter the ag ––modeShow command to determine the current operating mode.

1. If the SAN I/O Module is in Fabric OS Native mode, continue with

step 2 and step 3 . If the

Module is in Access Gateway mode, go on to

step 4

.

2. Log onto the SAN I/O Module through a Telnet connection, using the admin account.

3. Modify the domain ID if required using SAN I/O Module CLI commands.

The default domain ID is 1. If the SAN I/O Module is not powered on until after it is connected to the fabric and the default domain ID is already in use, the domain ID for the new SAN I/O

Module is automatically reset to a unique value. If the SAN I/O Module is connected to the fabric after it has been powered on and the default domain ID is already in use, the fabric segments.

To find the domain IDs that are currently in use, run the fabricShow command on another SAN

I/O Module or switch in the fabric. Identify an unused domain ID: a. Disable the SAN I/O Module being configured using the switchDisable command.

b. Enter the configure command at the root prompt.

The command prompts display sequentially. Enter a new value at the Domain prompt or press Enter to accept the default value. The SAN I/O Module now has a unique domain ID and can join the fabric. Following is an example of command output.

Changing from Access Gateway mode to Fabric Switch mode

If your SAN I/O Module is currently configured in Access Gateway mode, you can enable the module for Fabric OS Native mode by disabling Access Gateway mode. When you do this, the module automatically reboots in Fabric OS Native mode.

Determine if the SAN I/O Module is running in Access Gateway mode by entering the switchShow

CLI command to display the current switch configuration. If running in Fabric OS Native mode, the switchMode parameter should display Access Gateway Mode.

For complete instructions on disabling Access Gateway mode using the CLI and joining the switch to the fabric, refer to the “Disabling Access Gateway Mode” section in the Access Gateway

Administrator’s Guide .

NOTE

Disabling Access Gateway mode is disruptive because the switch is disabled and rebooted. Always back up the current configuration before enabling or disabling Access Gateway mode. Enabling

Access Gateway mode clears the security and zone databases. Disabling Access Gateway mode clears the F_Port to N_Port mapping.

Activating Ports on Demand (POD)

Ports on Demand (POD) licensing allows you to enable up to 24 ports from the initial 12 ports. Add optional POD licenses using either Brocade Web Tools or a Telnet connection; do not use the Blade

Server Enclosure CMC software.

Ports on Demand is ready to be unlocked in the SAN I/O Module firmware. A POD license might be supplied with SAN I/O Module software, or you can purchase the license separately from your SAN

I/O Module vendor, who will provide you with a key to unlock it.

Once you have installed the license keys, you must enable the ports. You can do so without disrupting SAN I/O Module operation, or alternatively, you can disable and re-enable the SAN I/O

Module to activate all ports.

If you remove a POD License, ports that were enabled by that license are disabled.

53-1001082-01

Operating the SAN I/O Module

Chapter

3

This chapter describes the operation and interoperability of the SAN I/O Module.

Interoperability

The SAN I/O Module supports interoperability for the following functions:

• link initialization

• principal SAN I/O Module selection

• soft WWN zoning

• SNMP facilities

• routing (FSPF)

• Simple Name Service

• state change notification

• translative mode (private target support on fabrics)

• trunking (between two Brocade switches)

• Advanced Performance Monitoring

Port negotiation

The SAN I/O Module has been designed to be highly interoperable. Eight Gbps ports support 2, 4, and 8 Gbps transmit and receive rates with autonegotiation. You can also install 4 Gbps SFPs, which allow 1 Gbps, 2 Gbps, and 4 Gbps transmit and receive rates with autonegotiation. The actual data signaling rate used on a port is automatically sensed and set to the rate supported by the device or devices attached to the port.

NOTE

You must install Brocade-branded SFPs in the SAN I/O Module.

If the SAN I/O Module is connected to a device, but is unable to negotiate the signaling rate, the operator can manually set the speed of each port through the management interfaces.

The SAN I/O Module is compliant with current Fibre Channel standards, including most current-generation switch N_Ports, NL_Ports, and E_Ports as well as host adapters, Redundant

Array of Independent Disks (RAID) storage devices, hubs, Fibre-SCSI bridge devices, and older switch families.

Accessing the SAN I/O Module

Operating system support

Brocade Fabric OS has no specific host OS dependencies. The Fabric OS in the switches allows for any Fibre Channel-compliant device to attach to switches as long as it conforms to the standards for device login, name service, and related Fibre Channel features. The operating systems listed in

Table 2

are for the host machine running Brocade management applications outside the Fabric OS, such as Fabric Manager and Enterprise Fabric Connectivity Manager (EFCM). For the latest information on operating system support for these applications, refer to the latest released versions of Fabric Manager and EFCM documentation.

Accessing the SAN I/O Module

The SAN I/O Module is managed as a single element. It has a single IP address and appears as a separate entity to the Telnet protocol and the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP).

When SNMP devices send SNMP messages to a management console running SAN management software, the information is stored in a Management Information Base (MIB). The SAN I/O Module

Fabric OS 4.4.1 supports the FibreAlliance Fibre Channel Management (FCMGMT) MIBs, allowing the provision of needed information to a SAN administrator.

In addition, the Brocade Fabric Access Layer (API) and the Storage Management Initiative (SMI) provide facilities for the discovery and management of physical and logical elements in a SAN.

Using the Fabric Access interface to the Fabric OS, a client application can retrieve information and modify the configuration of Brocade switches in the fabric.


53-1001082-01

Interpreting POST results

3

Secure Telnet access is available using Secure Shell (SSH), a network security protocol for secure remote login and other secure network services over an insecure network.

Brocade Web Tools management is available through a secure browser using Secure Sockets Layer

(SSL). The SSL security protocol provides data encryption, server authentication, message integrity, and optional client authentication for a TCP/IP connection. Because SSL is built into all major browsers and Web servers, installing a digital certificate enables the SSL capabilities.

Interpreting POST results

The power-on self test (POST) system check is performed each time the SAN I/O Module is powered on, rebooted, or reset.

1. Verify that the LEDs on the SAN I/O Module indicate a healthy SAN I/O Module. LED patterns are described in

“Interpreting LED activity,” next.

If one or more LEDs do not display a healthy state, verify that the LEDs are not set to beacon.

Use the SAN I/O Module CLI switchShow command or Web Tools to verify the LED state. For information about how to turn beaconing on and off, see the Fabric OS Administrator’s Guide or the Web Tools Administrator’s Guide .

2. Use the Blade Server Enclosure’s Chassis Management Controller (CMC) GUI to verify that the

SAN I/O Module is working correctly.

For details, refer to the Hardware Owner’s Manual for the Blade Server Enclosure.

3. Review the system log for errors.

Any errors detected during POST are written to the system log. Access this log through the

Module’s CLI errShow command. For information about this command, see the Fabric OS

Command Reference Manual . For information about error messages, see the Fabric OS

System Error Message Reference Manual .

Locating the serial number

Before contacting service support, be sure to obtain the module’s serial number. Use one of these methods to locate the number:

• Use the CLI and enter the ChassisShow command. The SAN I/O Module serial number is displayed along with other data.

•

Locate the serial number on the label attached to the SAN I/O Module. Refer to Figure 3 on page 5 for location.


Complete the following steps to remove and replace a failed SAN I/O Module.

NOTE

Before beginning this procedure, ensure that you have a replacement SAN I/O Module or filler panel available because you do not want to leave the slot on the Blade Server Enclosure open for an extended period of time. The slot must be filled with either a replacement SAN I/O Module or a filler panel to maintain proper airflow.

1. Back up the SAN I/O Module configuration to an FTP server by using the Module’s configUpload CLI command and following the prompts.

This command uploads the SAN I/O Module configuration to the server, making it available for downloading to a replacement SAN I/O Module if necessary. It is recommended to back up the configuration on a regular basis to ensure that a complete configuration is available for downloading to a replacement SAN I/O Module.

2. Stop all SAN activity requiring the ports used by the SAN I/O Module.

For details about port management, refer to your Blade Server Enclosure Hardware Owner’s

Manual. Verify that there is no activity by viewing the SAN I/O Module LEDs. For details about

LED activity on the SAN I/O Module, see

“Interpreting LED activity” on page 22.

3. Remove all cables from the SFP modules.

4. Remove the SFP modules according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

Figure 6 on page 24 details the generic process for removing an SFP from a port.

SAN I/O Module specifications

Appendix

A

This appendix provides product specifications and regulatory compliance as a handy reference.

Access Gateway Mode default port mapping

The M5424 SAN I/O Module can contain 24 total ports. Of these, F_Ports are ports 1-16 and

N_Ports are ports 0 and 17-23.

In Access Gateway mode, the SAN I/O Module F_Ports are mapped to N_Ports. This following lists the factory-default F_Port to N_Port mapping for Access Gateway mode. Since the SAN I/O Module is shipped with Dynamic Ports on Demand (DPOD) enabled, any out of the 24 ports can be enabled. Therefore this mapping applies for 12 active ports or, if POD licensing is enabled, for 24 ports. For more information on changing port mapping and managing ports in Access Gateway

Mode, refer to the Access Gateway Administrator’s Guide .

• 17-20 as N_Port with failover enabled, failback enabled

• 0, 21-23 as N_Port with failover enabled, failback enabled

• 1, 2 mapped to 17
