Small SAN Affordability with Growth CapabilitiesĪs the value and volume of business data continue to rise, organizations need technology solutions that are easy to implement and manage, and that can grow and change with minimal disruption. Delivers up to 24 ports of 8 Gbps performance in an energy-efficient, optimized 1U form factor to support the most demanding server and virtual server deployments. Test Ethernet connectivity.The Brocade 300 SAN Switch provides an affordable, flexible foundation for entry-level SANs, and an edge switch for core-to-edge SAN environments.
If the connectivity fails change it back to the original setting.Ĭhange it back to the original duplex setting.ģ. If the customer does NOT know if their IP switch can support 100/Full Duplex, then at this point we can leave the eth0 interface at 100/Full Duplex and test the connectivity.
Forcing the link to an operating mode not supported by the network equipment to which it is attached may result in an inability to communicate with the system through its ethernet interface. Note: As per Brocade it is recommended that the eth0 interface be running at 100/Full Duplex (assuming the IP network switch can support it).Įxercise care when using this command. Change IP address of the switch and then change it back to the original IP.Ĭhange the IP settings back to factory default on the active CP, in this case the active CP is CP0 Therefore all existing telnet sessions are required to be restarted.Īre you sure you want to fail over to the standby CP ? yī. System, and this operation will cause the active CP to reset. Warning: This command is being run on a redundant control processor(CP) Warning: Only If HA status is enabled and synchronized, perform CP failover, otherwise do NOT attempt a failover otherwise you will reboot the switch. HA enabled, Heartbeat Up, HA State synchronized Remote CP (Slot 6, CP0): Standby, Healthy Local CP (Slot 7, CP1): Active, Warm Recovered Perform hafailover, which will reboot the processor on the current active CP card, but not the switch (non-disruptive to fibre channel).Ĭheck to ensure HA status is enabled and synchronized, perform CP failover.

If the user does NOT know if their IP switch can support 100/Full Duplex, then at this point we can leave the eth0 interface at 100/Full Duplex and test the connectivity.

Reset eth0 using one of the options below (options are listed in recommended order from Brocade).Ī. Connect to the switch via serial cable.Ģ.
NOTE: The workarounds below are considered non-disruptive, however it is recommended that the action plan be carried out during a customer window in case an unexpected reboot occurs.ġ. Workaround for both Director and Departmental switch: Warning: D o not perform "ifconfig eth0 down" command to bring down the Ethernet port as it may cause panic or reboot on departmental class switch or unexpected HAfailover on Director class switch.
