Overview
Each HP StorageWorks 8Gb SAN Switch delivers ASIC technology and architecture for Fibre Channel
(FC) Storage Area Networks (SANs). The 8Gb SAN Switch is a high-performance switch designed for the
needs of enterprise environments that require a high-port footprint for port aggregation.
The 8Gb SANSwitchsatisfies demanding Reliability, Availability, and Serviceability (RAS), performance,
and scalability requirements of an enterprise switch while delivering interoperability and ease-of-use
advantages. The 8Gb SAN Switch is the latest offering from the HP StorageWorks family of
entry-to-enterprise products.

Full Fabric license. This model includes the Power Pack+ software bundle (Adaptive Networking,
Fabric Watch, ISL Trunking, Extended Fabric, and Advanced Performance Monitor). It also
includes Advanced Web Tools, Advanced Zoning, and Enhanced Group Manager (EGM) as
standard software components.
8Gb SAN Switch hardware reference manual 13

•HP StorageWorks 8/80 SAN Switch—Ships with 48 ports activated and includes a Full Fabric
license. It includes Advanced Web Tools, Advanced Zoning, and Enhanced Group Manager
(EGM) as standard software components.
•HP StorageWorks 8/80 Power Pack+ SAN Switch—Ships with 48 ports activated and includes a
Full Fabric license,. This model includes the Power Pack+ software bundle (Adaptive Networking,
Fabric Watch, ISL Trunking, Extended Fabric, and Advanced Performance Monitor). It also
includes Advanced Web Tools, Advanced Zoning, and Enhanced Group Manager (EGM) as
standard software components.
Power Pack+ models
All 8Gb SAN Switch Power Pack+ models ship with these licensed options:
•Adaptive Networking
•Fabric Watch
•Advanced Performance Monitoring
•Extended Fabric
•ISL Trunking
For detailed information on these features, see the HP StorageWorks Fabric OS administrator guide for
the firmware version you are running.
8/8 and 8/24 SAN Switch features
•Functionsasanedgedeviceinfabricsofupto239switches.
•Integrates a single motherboard design with 667 MHz PowerPC 440EPx Reduced Instruction Set
Computer (RISC) CPU and integrated peripherals which provide high performance.
•Provides the EZSwitchSetup Wizard for easy setup and basic configuration.
•Provides on-demand scaling of eight to twenty-four ports.
•Operates as a fully functional switch or an N_Port ID Virtualization (NPIV) Access Gateway.
•Integrates a single motherboard design with a 667 MHz PowerPC 440EPx Reduced Instruction
Set Computer (RISC) CPU with integrated peripherals.
•Integrates Inter-Switch-Link (ISL) Trunking (requires an optional license) enables up to eight ports
between a pair of switches to be combined to form a single, logical ISL switch with a speed of up
to 64 Gbits/sec (128Gbits/sec full duplex) for optimal bandwidth utilization and load balancing.
•Provides Dynamic Path Selection (DPS), which optimizes fabric-wide performance and load
balancing by automatically routing data to the most efficient available path in the fabric.
Provides universal ports that self-configure as E_Ports, F_Ports, M_Ports, or FL_Ports. Ex_Ports are
activated on a per-port basis with the optional HP B-series 48-80 Port SAN Switch Integrated
Routing LTU. This license provides native Fibre Channel Routing (FCR) on a per-port basis, rather
than limiting routing ports to those on a dedicated routing blade or switch. Just like traditional
FCR, Integrated Routing uses EX_Ports to import and export devices between fabrics, enabling
selective device sharing while maintaining remote fabric isolation. See Table 5, page 23, for
ordering information.
14 Introducing the HP StorageWorks 8Gb SAN Switch

Port side of the 8/8 and 8/24 SAN Switch
The port side of the 8/8 and 8/24 SAN Switch includes the system status LED, console port, Ethernet
port, USB port, and FC ports with corresponding port status LEDs. Additionally, a pull-out tab identifies
the serial number, MAC address, and World Wide Name (WWN). Record the switch IP address on the
pull-out tab for easy access.

Figure 1 Port side view—8/8 and 8/24 SAN Switch
Nonport side of the 8/8 and 8/24 SAN Switch
The nonport side is used solely for air flow. The enclosure uses forced-air cooling, with the fans pushing
the air from the nonport side of the chassis through the enclosure, and exhausting to the port side.
Activating additional 8/8 and 8/24 SAN Switch ports
By default, the 8/8 SAN Switch model integrates eight licensed ports (ports 0 through 7). Additionally,
the 8/24 SAN Switch model integrates 16 licensed ports (ports 0 through 15). To enable additional
ports, you must purchase and install the HP Storage Works 8/8 and 8/24 SAN Switch 8Gb 8-port
Upgrade LTU (part number T5518A):
•For the 8/8 SAN Switch—To enable ports 8 through 15, you must purchase and install one
upgrade license. To enable ports 15 through 23, you must purchase and install one upgrade
license.
•For the 8/24 SAN Switch—To enable ports 15 through 23, you must purchase and install
a second upgrade license.
See Installing and activating Port Upgrade licenses, page 20.
Enabling E_Ports on the 8/8 SAN Switch
The 8/8 SAN Switch model requires that you purchase the HP StorageWorks Full Fabric Upgrade License,
part number T4261A, to enable E_Ports (the 8/24 SAN Switch ships with the Full Fabric license installed).
By default, the 8/8 SAN Switch 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, use the licenseadd command. Once installed, the license appears
under the licenseshow command as “Full Fabric License” and indicates that E_Ports are now
automatically enabled.

8Gb SAN Switch hardware reference manual 19

Installing and activating Port Upgrade licenses
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. Obtain the WWN from the Switch ID pull-out tab located on the port side of your switch. Or you can
use the switchshow command to display the WWN.
3. Contact your HP representative to purchase the appropriate Port Upgrade license. HP requires the
switch WWN obtained in Step 2 to assign a license key.
4. Install thelicense:
a. Log in to the 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.
5. Configure the inactive ports. Issue the portstart command to start the ports. This command loads
the port code, unlike the portenable 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.
