The most important step is making a backup of the switches existing configuration in case a roll back is needed.
Enable the New/Updated Zone Configuration Add Zones to a New or Existing Zone ConfigurationĦ. I can’t think of anyone I know that hasn’t had this problem and needed to resort to CLI to get your job gone.īelow I’m going to cover Step by Step instructions or zoning your Brocade switch when Web Tools and/or Brocade Network Adviser is not available.Ĥ.
BROCADE SAN SWITCH VSAN CONFIG UPDATE
Thanks for reading.Have you ever needed to log into a web application to manage your hardware and the application stopped working cause you update your Java to a version that is now incompatible with the web application. You may click here for SAN switch related posts. Zoneshow BForum_HBA1_VNX_SPA3 #Shows the zone BForum_HBA1_VNX_SPA3 details Some other useful commands are,Ĭfgshow BForum_SAN1_CFG #Shows the config BForum_SAN1_CFG in detailĬfgdisable BForum_SAN1_CFG #Disables the config BForum_SAN1_CFGĬfgremove “BForum_SAN1_CFG”,”BForum_HBA1_VNX_SP B2” #Removes the zone BForum_HBA1_VNX_SP B2 from config BForum_SAN1_CFGĬfgactvshow #Shows the current active configĪlishow BForum_HBA1 #Shows the alias BForum_HBA1 The server and storage now should be able to communicate. We can now enable the zone config to make it in effect. Now we should save the config to memory to ensure this will be loaded in the next reboot of the switch also. Thus we have the zones created and added to the (existing/new) config. We should use the cfgadd command to add a new zone to an existing cfg as shown below,Ĭfgadd “BForum_SAN1_CFG”,”BForum_HBA1_VNX_SP B2“ This will add the zone to the cfg too.Ĭfgcreate “BForum_SAN1_CFG”,”BForum_HBA1_VNX_SPA3″ We can create zone config with the below command. We can add an alias to an existing zone by running the zoneaddcommand in similar way as we used aliaddcommand. Zonecreate “BForum_HBA1_VNX_SPA3″,”BForum_HBA1 VNX_SPA3” Now we will be creating the zone for the HBA and storage port, Below are the commands,Īlicreate “BForum_HBA1″,”10:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:01”Īlicreate “VXN_SPA3″,”50:06:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:02”įor adding a WWN to an existing alias (adding a WWN – 10:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:02 to the alias BForum_HBA2 for example) you may run,Īliadd “BForum_HBA2″,”10:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:02” Now we can create the alias for the HBA (BForum_HBA1) and the storage port (VNX_SPA3). nodefind 10:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:01 will list the port details.
This will show all the ports and the connected device WWNs, you can check the port number if you are aware of, or by finding the WWN (you may do a grep for the WWN).Įlse if you are not aware of the switch and port on fabric on which the HBA is attached to, you may run nodefind.
We have the new HBA connected to the switch, we can ensure the successful connectivity by running switchshow command. Now let’s directly come in to the commands for various steps. For reading bit more on this, you may read the previous post. As we already discussed, the 3 components (zones, aliases and zoneset) remains the core here also. Now we will discuss the same on a Brocade switch via CLI. We had discussed zoning in Cisco switch recently, in one of our posts.
