Installing the switch This section provides instructions for installing the HP SN6000B 16Gb FC Switch and the HP SN3000B 16Gb FC Switch. Items required for installation To set up the switch for the first time, you will need the following:...
HP SAN Compatibility Tool at http://hpsancompat.com/. Installing the switch in a rack using the Rack Mount Kit Use the SN6000B and the SN3000B Switch Rack Mount Kits to install the switch in an HP 10000 Series Rack. CAUTION: Install the Rack Mount Kits as described in this section so that when the switch is installed, the port side faces the rear of the rack.
Page 20
Rack mount installation To install the switch in a rack using the Rack Mount Kit: Place the switch on a flat surface and attach each inner rail to the switch using three flat-head screws. See Figure 7 (page 20). The rails are labeled Left and Right to designate the left side and right side of the switch as viewed from its nonport side.
Page 21
Attach each outer rail as shown in Figure 9 (page 21). The rails are labeled Left and Right to designate the left side and right side of the rack as viewed from the front of the cabinet. Figure 9 Attaching the outer rails Slide each rail over the rear mounting brackets.
Page 22
At the front of the rack, run the switch power cords from the sides of the rack through the cutouts in the rail, and then connect them to the switch power supplies. Connect two power cords to the SN6000B 48-port switch. Connect one power cord to the SN3000B 24-port switch. See Figure 1 1 (page 23).

SN3000B 24–port switch.) NOTE: If you are configuring the second (optional) power supply, the SN3000B switch will also have two power cords. Power on the power supplies by setting both power switches to the ON (I) position.
AC failure. For the SN3000B switch, connect a power cord to either the single power supply present or to both power supplies, if an optional second power supply is present. Then connect the power cords to power sources on separate circuits to protect against AC failure.
Ethernet and FC cables Disk array with FC ports Browser that allows pop-up windows If you are using static IP addressing, you will need the following items (not required if using DHCP): ◦ Fixed IP address (IPv4 or IPv6) for the switch ◦...
Using DHCP to set the IP address When using DHCP, the switch obtains its IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway address from the DHCP server. The DHCP client can connect only to a DHCP server that is on the same subnet as the switch.
Enter the date command: date "mmddHHMMyy" The values are as follows: mm is the month; valid values are 01 through 12. dd is the date; valid values are 01 through 31. HH is the hour; valid values are 00 through 23. MM is minutes;...
Log in to the switch using the default password password. Use timezone_fmt to set the time zone by Country/City or by time zone ID, such as PST. The following example shows how to change the time zone to US/Central: switch:admin> tstimezone Time Zone : US/Pacific switch:admin>...
Enter the tsclockserver command: switch:admin> tsclockserver "<ntp1;ntp2> The value ntp1 is the IP address or DNS name of the first NTP server, which the switch must be able to access. The value ntp2 is the name of the second NTP server and is optional. The entire operand "<ntp1;ntp2>...

Install the SFP+ transceivers in the FC ports on the switch to match the ports displayed in the Device Connection window . If you are using an SFP+ transceiver that does not have a pull tab, ensure that the wire bail is in the unlocked position.
Connect the FC cables from the switch to your host and storage devices. Ensure that the physical connections match the connections displayed in the Device Connection window. Remove the plastic protector caps from the FC cable ends (if there are any) and position the cable connector so that it is oriented correctly.
Verifying the configuration To confirm that the switch is configured and ready for use: Observe the LEDs to verify that all components are functional. For information about LED patterns, see “LEDs” (page 35). Issue the switchshow command from the workstation. This command provides information about the switch and port status.
In AG mode, cascading is not available for the switch. See the Access Gateway Administrator’s Guide for details on any restrictions. In Native mode, the SN6000B switch provides up to 48 external FC ports and the SN3000B switch provides up to 24 external FC ports. These universal self-configuring ports are capable of becoming one of the following port types: ◦...
Enabling AG mode Note the following when enabling AG mode: After you enable AG mode, some fabric information is erased, such as the zone and security databases. Enabling AG mode is disruptive because the switch is disabled and rebooted. Ensure that no zoning or AD transaction buffers are active. If a transaction buffer is active, enabling AG mode fails with the error Failed to clear Zoning/Admin Domain configuration.
3 Operating HP 16Gb FC Switches This chapter discusses switch power, LEDs, maintenance, and management. Powering the switch on and off Power switches are located on the nonport side of the switch. If the switch is mounted in a rack, you must remove the plenum to access the power switches. Power is supplied to the switch as soon as the first power supply is connected and powered To power the switch off, power off the power supplies present by setting the AC power switch to O.

The nonport side of the switch has one LED per power supply/fan assembly. See Figure 17 (page 37). The standard configuration of the HP SN3000B 16Gb FC Switch includes a single power supply/fan assembly. Table 6 (page 37) describes the status.
NOTE: Diagnostic tests can temporarily lock the transmit and receive speed of the links. HP does not support 2Gb connectivity to the SN6000B or the SN3000B switches. For information about specific diagnostic tests, see the Fabric OS Troubleshooting and Diagnostics Guide.
Each FRU contains two fans. The system software measures and sets fan speed through the tachometer interface. The SN3000B switch comes with one power supply and fan assembly. Fabric OS identifies the assemblies from right to left on the nonport side. Even though they are contained within a single unit, the power supply and fan components are identified separately.
If the switch has two power supply and fan assemblies, go to step 3. When replacing the power supply and fan assembly in an HP SN3000B 16Gb FC Switch that has only one assembly, the switch must be powered off before removing the assembly.
Page 41
Power off the power supply to be replaced by setting the AC power switch to the off (O) position. The fans in the other power supply automatically switch to high speed to maintain adequate cooling. Unplug the power cord from the power supply and fan assembly being replaced. Unscrew the captive screw using a Phillips screwdriver.
Installing a power supply and fan assembly To install the power supply and fan assembly: Ensure that the replacement FRU AC power switch is in the off (O) position. CAUTION: Damage to the switch can result if the AC power switch is in the on (|) position when the switch is installed in the chassis.
