HP StorageWorks Fabric OS 5.3.x administrator guide (5697-0244, November 2009)

214 Configuring Directors
1. Connect to the switch and log in as admin.
2. Enter the chassisConfig command without options to verify that the switch is configured with one
domain. For example:
3. Enter the chassisConfig command to configure two domains. Use the -f option to suppress
prompting for uploading the configuration. This command reboots the system.
4. After the system reboots, log in again to the first logical switch (sw0) as admin.
5. Use the configure command to configure the sw0 to match your fabric specifications.
If the Director is to be merged into an existing fabric, do not configure zoning parameters; these will be
propagated automatically when you merge the Director into the fabric.
6. Log in to the second logical switch (sw1) as admin.
7. Use the configure command to configure the sw1 to match your fabric specifications.
If the Director is to be merged into an existing fabric, do not configure zoning parameters; these will be
propagated automatically when you merge the Director into the fabric.
8. If the fabric is in secure mode, perform the following steps; otherwise, proceed to step 9.
a. Optionally, to configure sw0 and sw1 in one operation, connect them with an ISL link to form a
temporary fabric.
b. If you want sw0 and sw1 to be fabric configuration servers, update the overall fabric’s FCS policy to
include them. If not, skip this step.
c. On sw0, enable security mode and use the secModeEnable command to create an FCS list that
matches your overall fabric’s FCS policy.
d. Reset the version stamp on sw0.
e. If you connected sw0 and sw1 in step a and you do not want them connected, disconnect the ISL
link between them. If you did not connect them, repeat step 8b through step 8d on sw1.
9. Optionally, connect the new two-domain SAN Director 2/128 Director to the fabric.
10. Enter the fabricShow command to verify that sw0 and sw1 have been merged with the fabric.
11. Enter the cfgShow command to verify that zoning parameters were propagated.
Converting an installed SAN Director 2/128 to support two domains
Fabric OS versions earlier than v4.4.0 supported only one domain for SAN Director 2/128 models (one
128-port logical switch). When you upgrade a SAN Director 2/128 director to Fabric OS v4.4.0 or later,
you can use the chassisConfig command to specify two domains for the Director (two 64-port logical
switches, sw0 and sw1). This conversion is for SAN Director 2/128 Directors using configuration option
one (one switch, FC2-16 cards installed).
