The link fail message indicates a problem with this HBA. The loss sync indicates a possible cable problem, however, note the 6000 loss of sync messages is spread over 4GB of transferred files. Typically anything more than a 4:1 ratio indicates a problem.

NAME SERVER

Brocade

The command "nsShow" or "nsAliasShow" displays the name server table. The nice feature of "nsAliasShow" as the name suggests is the alias information.

FC_Switch_A:admin> nsAliasShow

SYSLOG

Brocade

Set the syslog server so that the switch will forward all error log entries (see errShow) to the syslogd specified by the IP address.

FC_Switch_A:admin> syslogdIpAdd "10.140.131.27"
Committing configuration...done.

FC_Switch_A:admin> syslogdIpShow
syslog.IP.address.1:    10.140.131.27

DEPLOY

Below is a guideline of activities to perform.

• Review your documentation (we have a spreadsheet) to check free ports.
• Ensure the element manager if using Connectrix has the available port.
• Populate the element manager with the host nickname.
• Review the DMX connections port within switch and pick an FA with least connections i.e. # symcfg -sid [sid] -connections list
• Check the WWPN from fa/port selected in order to create zone i.e. # symcfg -sid [sid] -fa 8c -p 1 list
• Create zone.

SNMP CONFIG

Brocade

Set snmpv1 as ECC 6.x only supports v1. Ensure all FCP agents hosts are entered.

# snmpconfig --set snmpv1

SNMP community and trap recipient configuration:
Community (rw): [private]
Trap Recipient's IP address : [10.26.26.165]
Trap recipient Severity level : (0..5) [4]
Trap recipient Port : (0..65535) [162]
Community (rw): [private]
Trap Recipient's IP address : [10.26.26.166]
Trap recipient Severity level : (0..5) [4]
Trap recipient Port : (0..65535) [162]

Trap Recipient's IP address : [10.26.26.168]
Trap recipient Severity level : (0..5) [4]
Trap recipient Port : (0..65535) [162]

Show snmpv1 configuration.

# snmpconfig --show snmpv1

SNMPv1 community and trap recipient configuration:
  Community 1: private (rw)
    Trap recipient: 10.26.26.165
    Trap port: 162
    Trap recipient Severity level: 4

  Community 3: private (rw)
    Trap recipient: 10.26.26.168
    Trap port: 162
    Trap recipient Severity level: 4

See access control set if needed.

# snmpconfig --show accessControl

SNMP access list configuration:
Entry 0:  Access host subnet area 10.26.26.0 (rw)
Entry 1:  Access host subnet area 10.26.30.0 (rw)

Check the MIBs are enabled.

# snmpconfig --show mibCapability

FE-MIB:YES
SW-MIB: YES
FA-MIB: YES
FICON-MIB: YES
HA-MIB: YES
...

Check seclevel is 0 for ECC 6.x to work.

# snmpconfig --show seclevel

GET security level = 0, SET level = 0
SNMP GET Security Level: No security
SNMP SET Security Level: No security

Cisco

Similar to Brocade, enable traps and configure recipents.

CTP FAILOVER

Brocade

First check failover status is healthy.

# ssh dcx1
PWC_SW01:admin> hashow
Local CP (Slot 6, CP0): Active, Cold Recovered
Remote CP (Slot 7, CP1): Standby, Healthy
HA enabled, Heartbeat Up, HA State synchronized

Fail over to CP1.

PWC_SW01:admin> hafailover
Local CP (Slot 6, CP0): Active, Cold Recovered
Remote CP (Slot 7, CP1): Standby, Healthy
HA enabled, Heartbeat Up, HA State synchronized
Warning: This command is being run on a redundant control processor(CP)
system, and this operation will cause the active CP to reset.
Therefore all existing telnet sessions are required to be restarted.

Are you sure you want to fail over to the standby CP [y/n]? y
Forcing Failover ...

Reconnect to switch and confirm CP0 is primary, then fail back.

PWC_SW01:admin> hashow
Local CP (Slot 7, CP1): Active, Warm Recovered
Remote CP (Slot 6, CP0): Standby, Healthy
HA enabled, Heartbeat Up, HA State synchronized

McData

1. Schedule the test for an outage window.
2. Verify that all Servers connected to this Switch are dual access with access through another SAN Switch in the "alternate" Fabric.
3. Log into EMC Connectrix Manager(ECM).
4. Select switch and open Element Manager.
5. Select the currently Active CTP Board (above). Right Click, select Switchover.

6. The "passive" CTP board should assume control of the SAN Switch within a few seconds with no interruption of SAN traffic.
7. Check for Alerts

SWITCH LOGS

McData

See below for how to gather Switch Data Collection files and process them through the EMC Switch Analysis Tool (SWAT).

1. The ED-140M Switch Data Collection is done from the EMC Connectrix Manager via Element Manager on the Switch.
2. Launch Element Manager, right click, select Element Manager.
3. Select Maintenance, Data Collection.
4. A Save Window will come up, enter the zip file name.
5. The switch will save Data Collection (it could take sometime).
6. Move the Data Collection from the Connectrix Manager Server to your laptop.

Brocade

Collect Data from Brocade DCX Switch.

1. Set your terminal session logging to capture output. Via putty set logging options. Via hyperterminal select transfer, capture text.
2. Run supportshow.
3. Wait for "supportshow" to stop.

Run SWAT

1. Login to EMC Powerlink at "powerlink.emc.com".
2. Support, Product & Diagnostic Tools, Environment Analysis Tools, SWAT.
3. The "SWAT Launch Page" will come up; launch SWAT.
4. Browse to the Switch Collect file that you just collected and Upload it.
5. Select type of SAN Switch to process.
6. SWAT will return results.

NTP

McData

First ensure the Windows CM servers are running NTP. Then open element manager, operating parameters, date/time and select sync options.
