M5424 SAN I/O Module Hardware Reference Manual 13

Connecting the SAN I/O Module to the Ethernet network

Once you have successfully set the appropriate IP address of the SAN I/O Module, you can

establish an Ethernet connection through the Chassis Management Controller (CMC) to a remote

management workstation for any additional configuration. The management workstation must be

on the same Ethernet subnet as the CMC.

NOTE

Ensure that the SAN I/O Module is not being modified from any other connection until configuration

is complete.

Connecting the SAN I/O Module to the fabric

NOTE

Refer to “Cabling guidelines” on page 8 before beginning the following procedure.

Before beginning the following steps, determine whether the SAN I/O Module is in Brocade Access

Gateway or Fabric OS Native mode. This affects the configuration process. Using the SAN I/O

Module CLI, enter the ag ––modeShow command to determine the current operating mode.

1. If the SAN I/O Module is in Fabric OS Native mode, continue with step 2 and step 3. If the

Module is in Access Gateway mode, go on to step 4.

2. Log onto the SAN I/O Module through a Telnet connection, using the admin account.

3. Modify the domain ID if required using SAN I/O Module CLI commands.

The default domain ID is 1. If the SAN I/O Module is not powered on until after it is connected

to the fabric and the default domain ID is already in use, the domain ID for the new SAN I/O

Module is automatically reset to a unique value. If the SAN I/O Module is connected to the

fabric after it has been powered on and the default domain ID is already in use, the fabric

segments.

To find the domain IDs that are currently in use, run the fabricShow command on another SAN

I/O Module or switch in the fabric. Identify an unused domain ID:

a. Disable the SAN I/O Module being configured using the switchDisable command.

b. Enter the configure command at the root prompt.

The command prompts display sequentially. Enter a new value at the Domain prompt or

press Enter to accept the default value. The SAN I/O Module now has a unique domain ID

and can join the fabric. Following is an example of command output.
