Step 6. Apply Power to the Router
The iSR6200 router chassis contains one or two router blades, along with a power cooling module (PCM) for each blade.
Each chassis blade provides light emitting diodes (LEDs) and connectors that face the front of the chassis. Each PCM
provides a power connector, as well as an LED (see Figure 3).
Figure 3. iSR6200 Router Chassis—Front and Back Plates
1. Attach the AC power cord to the power connector, located on the back of the PCM connected directly
behind the router blade.
2. Connect the opposite end of the power cord to the wall outlet or power strip.
3. Check the PCM power LED to make sure the PCM is operational (green = power, yellow = no AC power).
Figure 4 shows the location of the ports and LEDs on one of the blades contained within the iSR6200
unit.
Figure 4. iSR6200 Blade Ports and LEDs
4. Verify that the router’s input power LED is illuminated.
The iSR6200 router runs its self test and begins normal operation—this may take a minute.
5. Verify that the heartbeat LED is blinking (once per second), and that the system fault LED is not
illuminated.

3. Select the blade you want to configure by entering one of the following CLI commands:
blade 1
blade 2
4. At the prompt, enter the following CLI commands (for blade 2):
iSR6200 (admin)#> admin start (the default password is config)
iSR6200 (admin)#> set mgmt
5. Specify the mode. QLogic recommends using a static address. Select option 0, and then enter the IP
address, subnet mask, and gateway, if applicable.
You will lose the connectivity of the Telnet session at this time.
6. If you want to continue using the CLI, restart the Telnet session with the IP address you just assigned
to the management port.
You now have the management port configured with the appropriate IP address.
7. Connect the management port cable to your Ethernet network. Connect cables to the iSCSI and Fibre
Channel ports (GE1, FC1, and FC2, as well as the blade option ports based on model), as shown in
the configuration diagrams (Figure 1 and Figure 2).
8. If necessary, repeat these procedures to configure your second blade.
Step 9. Run the Configuration Wizard
1. On the computer that will manage the iSR6200, start SANsurfer iSCSI/FC Router Manager that you
installed in Step 7.
You should see the windows shown in Figure 8.
2. On the toolbar, click Connect.
3. In the Connect to Router dialog box, enter the IP address of the iSR6200 you want to configure, and
then click Connect.
4. In the left pane, select the router blade to be configured (Blade 1 or 2).
SANsurfer iSCSI/FC Router Manager prompts you to start the General Configuration Wizard.
5. To start the configuration wizard, click Yes.

The Information page for the router opens, as shown in Figure 9.
Figure 9. Configuring Router Information
6. Enter the Symbolic Name for this router.
7. In the left pane, click each iSCSI port, and then use the wizard to enter IP addresses for the iSCSI
port, and optionally, the IP address of an iSNS server.
NOTE: QLogic recommends that you enable Flow Control for your 10GbE interfaces (10GbE1 and
10GbE2 ports). You must also enable Flow Control on the Ethernet switch to which you are connecting
the router. Ethernet flow control is defined by IEEE 802.3x.
8. Save the changes; the default password is config.
9. Into the following tables, copy the Fibre Channel world wide port names (WWPNs) for both Fibre
Channel ports for each blade. You will need these names to present logical unit numbers (LUNs) from
your storage subsystem.
10. If you have a network time protocol (NTP) server, enable the NTP server and enter the NTP server
information. This is located on the Information page that appears after you select the iSR6200 router
node in the left pane.

Step 10. Present LUNs to iSCSI Initiators
1. If the iSR6200 is connected in the Fibre Channel fabric, make sure the Fibre Channel fabric zoning is
set so that Fibre Channel storage array ports and router Fibre Channel ports are in the same zone.
2. Using storage array management software, create all LUNs that you want to present to all iSCSI
initiators through this iSR6200. Present the LUNs from the Fibre Channel storage array to the iSR6200
using the WWPNs of this iSR6200. If you are setting up a high availability (HA) configuration that
uses two iSR6200s as a pair, present the LUNs to both iSR6200s using Fibre Channel WWPNs of
both iSR6200s.
3. Create the iSCSI initiator list in iSR6200 using one of the following methods:
❑Enter the iSCSI initiator name using the Add Initiator Wizard. The system prompts you to enter
the iSCSI name of an initiator.
❑From the server with iSCSI initiators, run a discovery session for the iSCSI port IP address
of the iSR6200. This automatically registers the iSCSI initiator names with the iSR6200.
Running the iSCSI discovery session on different OS environments may vary. The following
example illustrates how to run an iSCSI discovery session on a Windows Server.
To run a discovery session on Windows Server:
a. Install an iSCSI initiator on your server. This can be either a dedicated iSCSI adapter or a
software initiator for Windows like the one available from www.microsoft.com.
b. Invoke the software initiator, and then specify the IP address of the iSCSI port on your
iSR6200.
c. On the iSCSI Initiator Properties page, click the Targets tab (see Figure 10).
Figure 10. iSCSI Initiator Properties
4. Present LUNs to the iSCSI initiator as follows:
a. To refresh the SANsurfer iSCSI/FC Router Manager display, click Refresh.
The iSCSI initiator names should appear on the Information page for the selected Discovered
iSCSI Initiators (see Figure 11).

14
Figure 11. Discovered iSCSI Initiators Information
To assign a LUN to a server, run the Target Presentation/LUN Mapping Wizard. This wizard
allows you to map a LUN to the iSCSI initiator on your server.
b. On the Wizards menu, click Presentation Wizard.
c. On the Target Selection window, click the box next to the LUNs you want to map, and then click
Next.
d. On the Select the Initiators for the LUN Presentation window (Figure 12), select the initiators
for the LUN presentation, and then click Next.
Figure 12. Target Presentation/LUN Mapping Wizard
e. To save your mappings, click Save, and then enter your management password.

15
f. To refresh the SANsurfer iSCSI/FC Router Manager display, click Refresh.
Now, when you select your iSCSI initiator in the left pane of the SANsurfer iSCSI/FC Router
Manager window, you should be able to see the LUNs mapped to that initiator on the LUN List
page, as shown in Figure 13.
Figure 13. LUN List Page
g. To log on to this target, return to the Windows Server window, and then click LogOn.
The status should change from Inactive to Connected.
Step 11. Configure Second Blade (if provided)
To configure a second blade (if provided), repeat Step 9 and Step 10. Use Table 2 on page 5 to build the blade option
configuration.
Congratulations! You have now successfully installed your QLogic
iSR6200 and mapped target LUNs to an iSCSI initiator on your server. Your
server should see the Fibre Channel LUNs through the server’s volume
manager.
