Installing the switch

NOTE:

The SAS BL Switch may be hot-installed in an operational en-

closure.

Make sure that Smart Array SAS controllers are installed in

server mezzanine slots that map to the selected BladeSystem

c-Class enclosure interconnect bay.

The SAS BL Switch does not have a power on/off button. Power

is automatically applied or removed when the switch is installed

or removed from the enclosure. Alternatively, power can be

applied or removed through the Onboard Administrator applic-

ation.

Connect SAS cables to external storage enclosures only after

confirming that the desired firmware version is installed on the

switch.

Remove the air baffle from the selected interconnect bay.

Prepare the switch.

Install the switch in the open interconnect bay.

Note the following during startup:

• When installed in an operational enclosure, the switch automat-

ically powers up and performs a series of Power On Self Tests.

• All eight switch Link LEDs will blink while the switch and the VSM

software are starting up.

• Startup time is approximately two minutes. If startup is longer

than two minutes, confirm that a supported version of Onboard

Administrator is installed on the system.

• After the switch and the VSM software have started up success-

fully, the switch Health LED will be solid green.

• If the Health LED is amber or off, remove the switch from the

BladeSystem enclosure Interconnect Bay and reinstall it, pressing

firmly on the switch and its locking latch handle to ensure it is

seated properly. If trouble persists, see the "Troubleshooting"

section of the HP BladeSystem enclosure setup and installation

guide.

For more information about switch LED patterns, see

"Front panel

and LED

definitions" on page 1.

NOTE:

Do not connect cables to the switch at this time. HP recommends

connecting cables only after confirming that the switch is

operational and has the desired, supported version of firmware

installed.

Accessing the switch

The switch is configured and managed through the HP Onboard

Administrator and HP Virtual SAS Manager (VSM) applications.

To access VSM:

Access Onboard Administrator (OA).

In the OA Systems and Devices navigation tree, expand the

Interconnect Bays, and select the HP SAS BL Switch.

After selecting the SAS switch to manage, click Management Console

and wait a few moments for the VSM application to open.

For more information about accessing and using the VSM, see the HP

3G Virtual SAS Manager User Guide.

Updating switch firmware

Firmware is pre-installed on each switch in the factory, but an updated

version may be available.

Factory-installed firmware:

Latest-available firmware:

Record the firmware version that was pre-installed on the switch.

The installed firmware version is displayed in the VSM near the

center of the HP Virtual SAS Manager banner. Access the VSM and

make note of the firmware version installed on each SAS BL Switch

in the BladeSystem enclosure.

Record the latest available firmware version.

Firmware can be obtained from several HP websites, including:

• HP Support Download drivers and software page:

http://www.hp.com/support/downloads.

This Support site includes download pages for all HP products.

The HP 3Gb SAS BL Switch is listed in the bladesystem section.

Obtain firmware from this site if you want to update the switch,

but not the other devices in the solution. Download the .img

firmware file and use the VSM to install.

• HP BladeSystem Firmware Maintenance page:

http://h18004.www1.hp.com/products/blades/components/

c-class.html.

This BladeSystem site provides links to BladeSystem Firmware

Release Sets and the HP Smart Update Firmware DVD ISO, which

include tested, compatible sets of firmware for components in-

cluded in BladeSystem solutions and are designed to help man-

age firmware interdependencies between HP BladeSystem c-Class

components. Select the Compatibility tab to view version inform-

ation and download firmware for individual components. Obtain

firmware from this site if you want to update the switch, along

with other devices in the solution. Download .exe firmware files

and use the Smart Update Firmware DVD ISO to install.

If needed, update firmware on each switch to the latest version.

For instructions using the VSM, see the HP 3G Virtual SAS Manager

User Guide. For instructions using the HP Smart Update Firmware

DVD, see the HP BladeSystem Firmware Maintenance website.

IMPORTANT:

When two HP 3Gb SAS BL Switches are installed in the same

row of a BladeSystem enclosure, make sure that they are running

the same firmware version.

Connecting cables to the switch

After confirming that the desired firmware is installed on the switch,

connect SAS cables between the switch and the external SAS storage

enclosures or external backup devices. Be sure to connect the external

devices to switch ports that the desired servers will be able to access.

(See

Getting started

and

Planning the

configuration.)

The SAS BL Switch uses SAS cables with mini-SAS universal connectors.

For a list of supported cables, see the SAS BL Switch QuickSpecs.

IMPORTANT:

Confirm that firmware installed on the external SAS devices is

supported for use with the firmware installed on the switch.

Consult the QuickSpecs for the switch and the external devices.

Configuring the switch

Key configuration steps include:

•

Entering switch parameters.

•

Creating zone groups.

•

Assigning zone groups to servers.

Configure the switch using the VSM application. For more information,

see the HP 3G Virtual SAS Manager User Guide.

IMPORTANT:

Zoning restrictions exist. For more information, see the follow-

ing:

Solutions Deployment Guide (introduced in

Getting

When upgrading from a single-domain to a dual-domain en-

vironment, access the VSM and view the configuration settings

for each switch. If needed, manually configure the new switch.
