SilverStorm 9120

Quick Start Guide

Pre-Installation Checklist

Before beginning the actual installation, the Site Implementation Engineer must perform the following tasks:

Step 1. Check the packing list to verify all ordered equipment has been

received. The box should contain:

❑A SilverStorm 9120 switch with the following pre-installed:

❑Four (4) fan units

❑Power supplies and blanks (6 total).

❑InfiniBand (IB) leaf modules (up to 12 total)

❑Spine modules and blanks (up to 3 total)

❑Virtual I/O hardware such as the SilverStorm™ FibreChannel Virtual I/O Card (FVIC) and the SilverStorm™

Ethernet Virtual I/O Card (EVIC) (up to 4 total)

❑Any leaf/VIO hardware blanks (up to 11 total).

NOTE: If using VIO hardware, in order to maintain AC redundancy, use the following configurations:

❑1 VIO card and 11 leaf modules.

❑2 VIO cards and 10 leaf modules.

❑3 VIO cards and a maximum of 7 leaf modules.

❑4 VIO cards and a maximum of 4 leaf modules.

NOTE: Once the AC Redundancy threshold has been exceeded, the SilverStorm 9120 must use a

minimum of 4 power supplies and two power cords that must be plugged into a common, switched power

source (e.g., a power strip).

❑Additional parts:

❑One (1) Hardware installation kit (mounting rails, etc.)

❑One (1) Serial cable DB-9 female to RJ-11 connectors

❑One (1) Category RJ-11 Serial cable

❑Power cords (up to 2 total)

NOTE: Be certain that the power cords are firmly seated into the SilverStorm 9120 power supplies AC

power inlets.

❑A CD ROM containing:

❑Technical Documentation

❑Software

❑Release Notes.

Step 2. Unpack the equipment.

Step 3. Inspect the equipment for any shipping damage.

NOTE: Any shipping damage should be reported to the shipping company.

Step 4. Verify that the equipment shipped matches the packing list.

Tools and Equipment Required

❑An ESD wrist strap

❑A #2 Phillips screwdriver

❑Pen (felt-tip) to mark the mounting holes on the rack

Installation Tasks

NOTE: Before performing the installation tasks, take a few minutes to review the figures below. It is important to understand

the slot numbering for the leaf modules and spine modules (and the corresponding spine RJ-45 ports). It is also important to

understand the slot numbering for the fans and power supplies (and the corresponding AC power inlets for the power supplies).

To perform the actual switch installation, the site implementation engineer must perform the following tasks, which are detailed

in this section.

Step 1. Check the installation site to verify the installation of cabinet

power feeds, rails, and grounding.

Step 2. Inspect the packaging and equipment for any shipping damage.

Any shipping damage should be reported to the shipping company. Only

unpack the equipment if there is no shipping damage.

Step 3. Record the equipment serial numbers.

Step 4. Physically install the switch in the rack.

Step 5. Install InfiniBand (IB) or IB/Fiber Optic cables between the

SilverStorm 9120 and network devices.

Step 6. Install intra-cabinet power and grounding cables for the switch.

Step 7. Power up the switch.

Step 8. Change the default system IP address (192.168.100.9) and

gateway IP address (255.255.255.0) for the master spine.

Step 9. Add the equipment to the network.

Changing the IP Address and Default Gateway

Using the RS232 Serial Port

Step 1. Connect null-modem/crossover serial cables to the RS-232 port

of the switch spine module. If using a terminal emulation device, the settings

should be:

❑8 data bits

❑no parity bits

❑1 stop bit

❑56K baud

❑Use VT100 emulation.

❑Flow control = XON/XOFF

Step 2. Power up the switch.

Step 3. To change the switch default IP address enter:

setChassisIpAddr -h ipaddress -m netMask

where -h ipaddress is the new IP address in dotted decimal (i.e., xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx) format, and -m netMask

is the new subnet mask in dotted decimal (i.e., xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx) format.

Step 4. To change the switch default gateway IP address enter:

setDefaultRoute -h ipaddress

where -h ipaddress is the new default gateway IP address in dotted decimal (i.e., xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx) format.

Using Telnet or SSH

Step 1. Power up the switch.

Step 2. Connect a Category 5 or 6 (Cat 5/6) Ethernet cable to the RJ-45

connector on the switch. Connect the other end of the Cat 5/6 to a OOB LAN

workstation.

Step 3. Access the switch with the following command:

telnet 192.168.100.9

Step 4. The system prompts for a user name. In order to change the IP

address and default gateway, the user must be logged in as the

administrator. At the prompt enter:

admin

Step 5. The system prompts for a password. At the prompt enter:

adminpass

The system responds with:

Welcome to the SilverStorm 9120 CLI. Type 'list' for the list of

commands.

Step 6. To change the switch default IP address enter:

setChassisIpAddr -h ipaddress -m netMask

where -h ipaddress is the new IP address in dotted decimal (i.e., xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx) format, and -m netMask

is the new subnet mask in dotted decimal (i.e., xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx) format.

Step 7. To change the switch default gateway IP address enter:

setDefaultRoute -h ipaddress

where -h ipaddress is the new default gateway IP address in dotted decimal (i.e., xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx) format.

Step 8. To to exit the CLI enter:

logout

Using the Chassis Viewer

Step 1. Power up the switch.

Step 2. Connect a Category 5 or 6 (Cat 5/6) Ethernet cable to the RJ-45

connector on the switch. Connect the other end of the Cat 5/6 to a OOB LAN

workstation.

Step 3. To start Chassis Viewer, open a web browser and enter the IP of

the switch.

NOTE: The browser must be on a workstation connected to the same Ethernet LAN, and on the same TCP/IP subnet as the

switch RJ-45 OOB LAN port.

Step 4. From the main menu select OOB LAN IP then Set OOB LAN IP. The

following screen is displayed:

Figure 3. Set OOB LAN IP Window

Step 5. Type in the new switch IP address.

Step 6. Type in the new net mask.

Step 7. Click Apply.

Step 8. To change the switch default gateway, from the main menu select

OOB LAN IP then Set Default Gateway IP. The following screen is displayed:

Figure 4. Set Default Gateway IP Window

Step 9. Type in the correct switch default gateway IP address.

Step 10. Click Apply.

NOTE: A reboot is required to activate the new gateway IP address.

Subnet Manager License Key Activation

If the user has purchased the InfiniBand Fabric Suite 2008 package, in order to activate the subnet manager the user

must acquire asubnetmanager(SM) license key fromQLogic Technical Support. In order to do this, theuser must first

find the globally unique identifier (GUID) for the managed spine module to be used as the master SM. The GUID can be:

❑Retrieved from the label on the spine.

❑Retrieved via software using the Chassis Viewer GUI or the command line interface (CLI).

GUID Formats

NOTE: It is very important toenter the entire GUID correctly or the generated licensekey will not

work. The SilverStorm GUID format is 16 characters hexadecimal. An example is displayed below:

00066x0006000xxx

Hardware Retrieval

Before powering upthe switch, removethe applicable FRU and recordthe GUID fromthe labelwith the QLogic logothat

is located on top of the unit.

Software Retrieval: Command Line Lookup using Telnet or SSH

To retrieve the FRU GUID using the CLI, do the following:

Step 1. Access the switch with the following command:

telnet <IP ADDRESS>

Step 2. The system prompts for a user name. At the prompt enter:

admin

Step 3. The system prompts for a password. At the prompt enter:

adminpass

The system responds with:

Welcome to the <SWITCH> CLI. Type 'list' for the list of commands.

Step 4. To find the FRU GUID, enter the following:

showIBNodeDesc

The system responds with information similar to the following:

IB Node (SMA) Description is = <SWITCH> GUID=0x00066a00da000100

Record the GUID number.
