CISCO mds FC optical fiber switch configuration reference

CISCO mds FC optical fiber switch configuration reference
(1) There are several concepts that must be clarified (different from brocade ):
(1) brocade divides zones directly. While mds divides zones under vsan, mds can divide several vsan first, and each vsan includes several zones.
(2) brocase: the default port is open, while the default port of mds is closed.
(3) mds has a Default zone: "The Default Zone ". if no zone is set, all the ports are in this zone, and the ports that do not belong to any zone are in this default zone.
(4) the default zone has a feature that "Members are not permitted to talk to each other". the ports in the zone do not communicate with each other by default, but you can use the command to modify this.
(2) Different from brocade, MDS has the following result:
(1) After power-on, the host cannot access the storage without partitioning the zone.
(2) Change all ports to up during initialization. The host still cannot access the storage because of the default zone.
Modify the Port during initialization:
Enter noshut (shut is the default) to configure the default switch port interface to the noshut state.
Configure default switchport interface state (shut/noshut) [shut]: noshut
(3) There are two configuration steps:
(A) If zone is not used, initialize it in the default mode.
Sw1 (config) # interface fc 1/1-20
Sw1 (config-if) # no shutdown ------- Open Port 1-20. Because the cisco san port is disabled by default
Sw1 (config-if) # exit
Sw1 # show int ----- check whether your port is up
Sw1 #
Sw1 # config t
Sw1 (config) # zone default-zone permit ----------- Permits traffic flow to default zone members. Disable the default zone and allow communication between ports.
Sw1 (config) # exit
Sw1 # copy running-config startup-config ---------- back up the current configuration
Then, perform the following operations:
(1) When fc id persistence-MDS allocates the fc id, it is automatically allocated according to the login order of the device, unlike Brocade or McData based on the Domain ID and area. In this case, after plugging the optical fiber back and forth or reboot the switch, the fc id of the device is easily changed, and the device file on hpux is changed. Therefore, this parameter must be set to yes to ensure that the device's WWN corresponds to its fc id. This setting is critical to the hpux environment. The setting method is as follows:
# Config t
# Fcdomain fcid persistent vsan 1
(2) There are two modes for Domain ID-Cisco Domain ID:
Preferred and static. To avoid the impact of Domain ID changes on the hardware path of the storage device on hpux, set it to static and specify a unique Domain ID.
The configuration method is: config t
Fcdomain domain <ID> static vsan 1
If you need to set the Domain ID to take effect immediately, run fcdomain restart # Note: This command may affect data transmission!
(B) Use zone:
(1) Open all ports during initialization
(2) Configure vsan:
(3) configure the zone:

(4) When fc id persistence-MDS allocates FC IDs, they are automatically allocated according to the login order of devices, unlike Brocade or McData Based on Domain ID and area. In this case, after plugging the optical fiber back and forth or reboot the switch, the fc id of the device is easily changed, and the device file on hpux is changed. Therefore, this parameter must be set to yes to ensure that the device's WWN corresponds to its fc id. This setting is critical to the hpux environment. The setting method is as follows:
# Config t
# Fcdomain fcid persistent vsan 1
(5) There are two modes for Domain ID-Cisco Domain ID:
Preferred and static. To avoid the impact of Domain ID changes on the hardware path of the storage device on hpux, set it to static and specify a unique Domain ID.
The configuration method is: config t
Fcdomain domain <ID> static vsan 1
If you need to set the Domain ID to take effect immediately, run fcdomain restart # Note: This command may affect data transmission!
