Silkworm 2800 user manual

This approach enables heterogeneous device connectivity, automatic discovery, data routing, and scalable connectivity. The API layer is currently used by more than 50 independent software vendors to develop feature-rich management applications that leverage the distributed intelligence in Brocade SANs.

SilkWorm When added to existing fabrics, the SilkWorm automatically assigns individual switch addresses, establishes frame routes, and configures the internal name server.

With the Brocade Extended Fabrics feature and Dense Wave Division Multiplexing DWDM technology, storage networks can span up to km over Metropolitan Area Networks MANs at full bandwidth— significantly increasing the level of disaster protection to help ensure the highest level of business continuance.

Figure shows the front view of a rackmount enclosure fully populated with drives. Figure Front View of Rackmount Enclosure. Figure shows the rear view of a rackmount enclosure. Rear View of Rackmount Enclosure. The enclosure contains the following component modules see Figure and Figure :. Figure shows a front view of the enclosure components. Front View of Enclosure Components. Figure shows a rear view of the RAID base enclosure components.

Figure shows a rear view of the JBOD expansion enclosure components. The operators panel ops panel contains an enclosure services processor that monitors and controls the enclosure see Figure The ops panel contains LEDs which show the status for all modules, an audible alarm that indicates a fault state is present, a push-button alarm mute switch, and a thumb-wheel enclosure ID address range selector switch.

Figure shows the ops panel and identifies its components. Ops Panel. Two power supply cooling modules PSUs are mounted in the rear of the enclosure see Figure These modules supply redundant cooling and power to the enclosure. Voltage operating ranges are nominally V or V AC, selected automatically. Module replacement must be completed within 10 minutes after removal of the failed module. The base and expansion enclosures can be connected with the copper SFP cables that are included with the expansion enclosure or with optical SFP cables.

The disk drives in each enclosure can be of different capacities, but all of the disk drives in an individual LUN must be of the same capacity. See Figure and Figure The disk drive carrier module consists of a hard disk drive mounted in a die-cast aluminum carrier.

The carrier protects the disk drive from radio frequency interference, electromagnetic induction, and physical damage and provides a means for thermal conduction. Drive Carrier Module. The drive carrier module has a handle integrated into its front face.

This handle cams the carrier into and out of the drive bay, holds the drive to the backplane connector, and prevents the unauthorized removal of the drive by means of an anti-tamper lock see Figure Anti-tamper Lock. Dummy drive carrier modules must be installed in all unused drive bays. They are designed as integral drive module front caps with handles and must be fitted to all unused drive bays to maintain a balanced airflow.

Dummy Drive Carrier Module. The disk drive bays, located in front, are numbered 1 to 4 from left to right and 1 to 4 from top to bottom. The location of a disk drive module is identified by combining the column and row numbers top and side numbers in Figure For example, the disk drive in the upper left corner of the enclosure is disk A module located in the rear of the enclosure is identified by its bay number.

Figure shows the enclosure bay numbering convention and the location of modules in the rackmount enclosure. The disk drive bays, located in front, are numbered 1 to 4 from right to left and 1 to 4 from top to bottom. For example, the disk drive in the upper right corner of the enclosure is disk Figure shows the correct positions of the modules and the enclosure bay numbering convention for the tower.

This section contains information about the 2 Gb TP storage system rack in the following sections:. The 2 Gb TP rack is 38U high and is divided into 12 bays. Each RAID enclosure can support up to three expansion enclosures.

Unoccupied bays must contain a 3U filler panel to provide proper airflow. We just upgraded firmware on two of the production Brocades last night. An HP CE replaced the system board in one of them as a follow-up service for a problem we had several weeks ago. That firmware version was v2. The upgrade from v2. So, we are basically stuck in the same boat we were in This seems to be deep, dark, top secret information.

The one thread I found on here from April made reference to the PasswordReset utility on Brocade's web site, but that utility didn't work on a test switch. Not knowing how it accomplishes its claimed function of resetting a password across the entire fabric by accessing a switch with a known password just sounded too scary for me anyway for production equipment.

The original poster of that thread was told by HP support that it would take 4 to 5 hours of downtime on the switch to reset these?!

That seems incredibly excessive offhand. Do they need to reprogram the thing by hand? I can always open a support call for it, but it strikes me this should not be an incredibly difficult thing to accomplish.

Frequent Advisor. On my Brocade s, I can log in as root and use the standard Linux 'passwd' command to change admin, factory, and user. These switches run a barebones Linux distribution so the passwd command is available , but write to non-volatile memory.

Perhaps there is a memory corruption issue? Tough to do in production, but in a downtime period wish I could get one sometime ;- , I had to do a 'switchdisable' then a 'configdefault' to reset a subset of config parameters.

There is also one of those gems of cryptic notes that states in the Admin Guide that if you completely forget the password, "contact HP". You can also reboot the switch and hit ESC on a locally connected console within four seconds to get to a captive shell prompt. You then get a menu with an item for resetting the root password. Hope this helps! I opened a call with HP.
