SAN Switch installation guide 15

4/8 and 4/16 SAN Switch features
The 4/8 and 4/16 SAN Switches support link speeds of 1, 2, and 4 Gb/s. The switch
operates in a fabric that contains multiple switches or as the only switch in a fabric.
The 4/8 and 4/16 SAN Switches provide the following features:
•Air-cooled 1U chassis. The switch can be installed as a stand-alone unit or
mounted in one of the following HP custom racks:
•HPSystem/eRack
• HP 10000 G2 Series Rack, HP 9000 Series Rack and HP 10000 Series Rack
•Eight or sixteen Fibre Channel (FC) ports with the following characteristics:
• Automatic negotiation to the highest common speed of all devices connected
to the port
•Portinterf
aces compatible with short wave and long wave small form factor
pluggable (SFP) transceivers
• Universal and self-configuring ports capable of becoming an F_Port (fabric
enabled), FL_Port (fabric loop enabled), or E_Port (expansion port)
•Ports activated via licenses. The 4/8 SAN Switch can be upgraded to 12 or 16
licensed ports via HP StorageWorks 4-Port Upgrade Licenses.
•One RS-232 serial port with a DB-9 connector, see Serial port
specifications,page141.
•One 10/100 Mb/s Ethernet port with an RJ-45 connector.
•One built-in, fixed power supply, not available as a field-replaceable unit (FRU).
•Three built-in fans (not available as FRUs).
•A real-time clock (RTC) with a 10-year battery.
16 Overview

4/8 and 4/16 SAN Switch chassis
This section describes the chassis front (port side) and rear (nonport side).
4/8 and 4/16 SAN Switch port side
All LEDs reside on the port side of the switch (see Figure 1). The 4/8 and 4/16 SAN
Switch enclosure uses forced-air cooling, with the fans pushing the air from the nonport
side of the chassis through the enclosure and exhausting at the port side.
See Interpreting LED activity on page 69 for a complete description of switch LEDs.

Figure 1 4/8 and 4/16 SAN Switch port side
4/8 and 4/16 SAN Switch nonport side
The nonport side is used solely for airflow and serial number labels. There are two labels
on the rear of the chassis: one is the HP serial number, the other is the switch supplier’s
serial number. The left label also contains the 4/8 SAN Switch or 4/16 SAN Switch
MAC address and world wide name (WWN).
Activating additional 4/8 and 4/16 SAN Switch ports
The 4/16 SAN Switch models offer 8, 12, or 16 licensed ports. To enable ports
8 through 11, you must purchase and install one or more HP StorageWorks 4-Port
Upgrade Licenses. To enable ports 12 through 15, you must purchase and install a
second HP StorageWorks 4-Port Upgrade License.
To activate additional ports:
1. Use the portshow command to verify the number of ports licensed on your switch.
The port status output indicates Started and Licensed for enabled ports. See
the Fabric OS command reference manual for specific information on this command.
2. Use the switchshow command to obtain your SAN Switch WWN, which your HP
representative requires to assign a license key.
SAN Switch installation guide 17

3. Contact your HP representative to purchase the HP StorageWorks 4-Port Upgrade
License, part number T4260A.
4. Upon receipt of the HP StorageWorks 4-Port Upgrade License, install the license:
a. Log in to the 4/16 Switch as admin.
b. Issue the licenseadd command, followed by the license key enclosed in
quotation marks. (The license key consists of approximately 16 uppercase
and lowercase letters and numerals.)
NOTE:
Enter the license key exactly as issued. If you enter the key incorrectly,
the license will not function properly.
c. Issue the licenseshow command to verify that the license is valid. If a
licensed product is not displayed, the license is invalid.
NOTE:
It is not necessary to reboot the system. The product is available
immediately after you enter the license key.
5. Configure theinactiveports.Issuetheportstart command to start the ports. This
commandloadstheportcode,unliketheportenable command, which enables
the port laser. For example:
portstart 16–31
6. Issue the portenable command to enable the ports. For example:
portenable 16–31
7. Optional: Issue the portshow command to verify that the newly activated ports
are started.
Enabling E_Ports on the 4/8 SAN Switch
The 4/8 SAN Switch requires that you purchase the Full Fabric Upgrade License, part
number T4261A, to enable E_Ports (the 4/16 SAN Switch ships with the Full Fabric
license installed). The switch, by default, cannot be connected to another switch until this
license is installed. Without the license, the switch can still be directly connected to hosts
and storage devices. To install the Full Fabric Upgrade License,usethelicenseadd
command. After it has been installed, the license appears under the licenseshow
command as Full Fabric License and indicates that E_Ports are now automatically
enabled when interswitch links (ISLs) are connected.
18 Overview

SAN Switch licensing
SAN Switches operate differently in the network, depending on which HP StorageWorks
domain licenses are installed. The 4/8 Base SAN Switch has no E_Port, unless you
purchase and install the HP StorageWorks 4/8 Full Fabric Upgrade License.
•Full Fabric license— Allows one or more switches to operate within a domain.
All SAN Switch Power Pack models ship with this license installed.
To determine the type of license installed on your SAN Switch, issue the licenseshow
command at the command line interface (CLI) prompt. The Full Fabric license is listed as
Fabric license. A list of all licenses currently installed on the switch is displayed,
as shown in Example 1.
