Reconnecting the system to the network and fabric
See the cable routing and port connection information recorded previously in
Table 19 on page 104 for the following steps.
1. Connect the CP blades to the local area network:
a. Connect the appropriate Ethernet cables into each Ethernet port.
b. Connect the other ends to an Ethernet 10/100 Base-T LAN, if not already
connected.
Note: The SAN384B can be accessed by remote connection using any of the
available management tools, such as Telnet or Web Tools. Ensure that
the system is not modified using other connections during the rest of
this procedure.
2. Reconnect the transceivers and cables to the port blades:
Note: The ports and cables used in trunking groups must meet specific
requirements. For a list of these requirements, refer to the Fabric OS
Administrator’s Guide.
a. Position one of the transceivers so that the key is oriented correctly to the
port and insert the transceiver into the port until it is firmly seated and the
latching mechanism clicks.
b. Select the cable that corresponds to the port and position it so that the key
(the ridge on one side of the cable connector) is aligned with the slot in the
transceiver; then, insert the cable into the transceiver until the latching
mechanism clicks.
c. Repeat steps a and b for the remaining ports.
Attention: Do not route cables in front of the air exhaust vent (located on
the upper and lower port side of the chassis).
d. Organize the cables as required (see “Managing cables” on page 42).
Verifying correct configuration of the fabric
Copying the command outputs from this section into a file is recommended.
1. Create an “after” SAN profile by entering the following commands and
copying the output to a text file named “SANafter.txt”:
v nsShow
v nsAllShow
v switchShow
v fabricShow
