Step 2. Complete the Pre-Installation Checklist

During the initial configuration process, the system prompts you to enter information for each blade contained in the

iSR6200. Use the spaces provided in the following tables to record the IP addresses for each blade.

Table 1. Worksheet for Router Blade 1 (left) Parameters

Step 3. Mount the Router

To mount the iSR6200 router in the rack, follow the instructions (QLogic 6200 Storage Router Rack Mounting Guide)

provided in the rack mount kit.

Step 4. Insert Additional Blade into Router (As Needed)

If you have purchased an additional blade (B10), insert it into the iSR6200 router as follows:

1. Move the ejector latch handle to a position horizontal to the base.

2. Slide the blade into an open chassis slot.

3. When the blade is completely inserted, raise the ejector latch handle to snap the blade into place.

Step 5. Install the SFPs

An SFP transceiver is required for each router port that will be connected to a Fibre Channel device or switch. SFPs are

included in the package. If you prefer to use SFP transceivers other than the ones provided, purchase one of the QLogic

recommended transceivers listed in Table 3.

To install an SFP transceiver, insert the transceiver into the router port, and then press gently until it snaps in place. The

transceiver will fit only one way. If the transceiver does not install under gentle pressure, flip it over and try again.

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.

Step 7. Install SANsurfer Router Manager

Follow these steps to download the SANsurfer iSCSI/FC Router Manager tool from the QLogic Web site and install it on

a PC workstation:

1. Close all programs currently running.

2. Go to the QLogic download site:

http://support.qlogic.com/support/drivers_software.aspx

3. Click the Intelligent Storage Routers icon.

4. Select your iSR62xx model number, and then click Go.

5. On the iSR62xx download page under Management Tools, click the link to the SANsurfer Router

Manager version for your operating system.

6. Read the license agreement, and then click Agree to continue.

7. Follow the system prompts to save the tool to your workstation, and then install it.

Step 8. Configure the iSR6200 Management Port IP Address

1. Using a switch or hub, connect the router’s management port (10/100 Ethernet) to your workstation.

As an alternative, you may directly connect your workstation to the router using an Ethernet crossover

cable.

The iSR6200 management port’s default IP address is 10.0.0.1, subnet 255.0.0.0. Make sure the

workstation connected to the iSR6200 router has Ethernet address 10.0.0.x, where xis other than 1

and subnet mask is 255.0.0.0.

2. From the workstation, open a command window and using a Telnet session, follow these steps:

a. Connect to the iSR6200 using IP address 10.0.0.1.

b. Log in as guest, and use the password password.

The following shows the iSR6200 command line interface (CLI) window.

iSR6200 login: guest

Password:

******************************************************

* *

* ISR6200 *

* *

******************************************************

iSR6200 #> blade 1

iSR6200 <1> #> admin start -p config

iSR6200 <1> (admin) #> set mgmt

A list of attributes with formatting and current values will follow.

Enter a new value or simply press the ENTER key to accept the current value.

If you wish to terminate this process before reaching the end of the list

press 'q' or 'Q' and the ENTER key to do so.

WARNING:

The following command might cause a loss of connections to the MGMT port.

IPv4 Interface (0=Enable, 1=Disable) [Enabled ]

IPv4 Mode (0=Static, 1=DHCP, 2=Bootp, 3=Rarp) [Dhcp ] 0

IPv4 Address [10.0.0.1 ] 172.17.136.55

IPv4 Subnet Mask [255.0.0.0 ] 255.255.254.0

IPv4 Gateway [0.0.0.0 ] 172.17.136.1

IPv6 Interface (0=Enable, 1=Disable) [Disabled ]

All attribute values that have been changed will now be saved.

Connect to host lost.

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.
