Changing from Fabric OS Native to Access Gateway mode

ATTENTION

A cable should not be bent to a radius less than 5.08 cm (2 inches) under full tensile load and 3.048

cm (1.2 inches) with no tensile load.

Tie wraps are not recommended for optical cables because they are easily overtightened.

a. Orient a cable connector so that the key (the ridge on one side of connector) aligns with

the slot in the transceiver.

b. Insert the cable into the transceiver until the latching mechanism clicks. For instructions

specific to cable type, refer to the cable manufacturer’s documentation.

c. Repeat for the remaining transceivers as required.

6. Check the LEDs to verify that all components are functional.

For information about LED patterns, see the “Interpreting LED activity” on page 22.

7. Verify the correct operation of the SAN I/O Module by typing the switchShow command from

the workstation.

This command provides information about SAN I/O Module and port status.

8. Verify the correct operation of the SAN I/O Module in the fabric by typing the fabricShow CLI

command from the workstation.

9. Back up the SAN I/O Module configuration to an FTP server by typing the configUpload

command and following the prompts.

This command uploads the SAN I/O Module configuration to the server, making it available for

downloading to a replacement SAN I/O Module if necessary. Brocade recommends backing up

the configuration on a regular basis to ensure that a complete configuration is available for

downloading to a replacement SAN I/O Module.

For specific instructions about how to back up the configuration, see the Fabric OS

Administrator’s Guide. The switchShow, fabricShow, and configUpload commands are

described in detail in the Fabric OS Command Reference Manual.

Changing from Fabric OS Native to Access Gateway mode

The SAN I/O Module ships from the factory in Fabric OS Native mode. Converting to Access

Gateway mode allows you to use the module as a device management tool that transparently

connects hosts to the fabric.

Configure your SAN I/O Module to run in Access Gateway mode using the following instructions. You

can log into the SAN I/O Module and enable Access Gateway mode using either Web Tools or the

SAN I/O Module command line interface (CLI).

Notes

• Determine if the SAN I/O Module is running in Fabric OS Native mode by entering the

switchShow CLI command to display the current switch configuration. If running in Fabric OS

Native mode, the switchMode parameter should display Native.
