Overview
This Lab Guide includes these exercises:
Lab 1: Initial Switch Configuration
Lab 2: Accessing Fibre Channel-Attached Disks
Lab 3: Configuring High-Availability SAN Extension
Lab 4: Configuring IVR for SAN Extension
Lab 5: Exploring Fabric Manager Tools
Lab 6: Implementing iSCSI
Scenario
Your customer, ACME Corporation, has an existing SAN in their Long Island, NY datacenter
that consists of Cisco MDS 9000 switches. ACME now wants to implement remote SANs in
several of their national and international facilities, using FCIP to connect the remote sites to
the NY data center. They also want to test iSCSI for their mid-range applications. They have
asked you to set up a proof-of-concept demonstration of a scalable and highly available SAN.
ACME wants you to demonstrate the following functions:
Verify accessibility of Fibre-Channel attached disks
Create a redundant, high-availability FCIP connection to the data center
Use Inter-VSAN Routing (IVR) to further increase the reliability of the FCIP links
Demonstrate a basic iSCSI configuration using dynamic configuration features to simplify
iSCSI deployment

Task 1: Complete the Init ial Switch Configuration Process
In this task, you will complete the initial switch configuration process. Each pod will be
separated into two teams. Team 1 will apply configurations to the MDS 1 switch and Team 2
will apply configurations to the MDS 2 switch. Both teams can work in parallel unless stated
otherwise.
Activi ty Procedure
Perform these steps on the MDS switch assigned to your team:
Step 1 Access the console of your assigned switch (MDS-1 or MDS-2) by clicking on the
Consolebutton on the main Labgear screen. Press the Enterkey once to see a
switch login prompt, then log in.
Switch login: admin
Password: 1234qwer
Step 2 Clear the current startup configuration:
#write erase
Warning: This command will erase the startup-configuration.
Do you wish to proceed anyway? [y/n] [N]
Typeyto proceed.
Step 3 Reboot the switch:
# reload
This command will reboot the system. (y/n)?Typeyto proceed.
Step 4 After the switch reboots (in about 2 minutes), it will automatically launch the setup
process. This is the state you would find the switch in when you power up an MDS
for the first time.
Answer the questions according to the following example, replacing your pod
number where appropriate:
---- System Admin Account Setup ----
Enter the password for "admin": 1234qwer
Confirm the password for "admin":1234qwer
--- Basic System Configuration Dialog ---
This setup utility will guide you through the basic configuration of
the system. Setup configures only enough connectivity for management
of the system.
Press Enter in case you want to skip any dialog. Use ctrl-c at anytime
to skip away remaining dialogs.
Would you like to enter the basic configuration dialog (yes/no): y

Task 2: Exploring the MDS 9000 CLI
In this task, you will briefly explore the MDS 9000 command-line interface (CLI) and various
short cuts you can use to simplify its use.
Exercise Procedure
Both teams complete these steps on both MDS switches:
Step 1 At the prompt, type ? to view current command options
# ?
Note Press Enterto scroll one line at a time or press the space barto scroll through the list of
commands a page at a time. Press the qkey to return you to the prompt.
Step 2 Display the following commands that begin with s, sh, and show and observe the
results.
# s?
# sh?
# show ?
# show ru
Note Note that the key displays a list of available options. The Tabkey completes a
command if you have typed enough characters to uniquely identify it.
Step 3 Display the current running configuration:
# show running-config
Step 4 Display the current running configuration again using an abbreviated command:
# sh ru
Tip For most commands, abbreviate the syntax, then press the Tabkey to complete each word.
For example, type sh ru. Note that you do not have to press the Tab key to
use abbreviations. Pressing the Tab key simply shows you the command that will be
executed.

Step 5 Display the status of the switch interfaces.
# show interface brief (or abbreviate as: sh int br)
Display VSAN information.
# show vsan
Record the following information:
VSAN Name State Operational State
Note that two VSANs, 1 and 4094, are created by default. VSAN 1s operational
state is down since there are no operational members in the VSAN.
Step 6 Ping your default gateway.
# ping (Use the default gateway IP address from theLab ReferenceGuide.)
Step 7 Observe the response from the gateway. Press Ctrl-Cto stop the ping command.
Step 8 Enter configuration mode. Observe the change in the prompt.
# config (abbr: con)
(config)#
Step 9 Attempt to invoke the showversion command.
(config)# show version
Are you successful? _________ (Answer: no)Step 10 Type a question mark to view Configuration Mode command options.
Do you see the showcommand? _____________________(Answer: no)
Step 11 While in configuration mode, you can invoke executive mode commands by
preceding the command with do:
(config)# do show version
Tip You can use the arrow keys to scroll up and down the list of previously entered commands.
For example, you could use the up arrow key to scroll to the last time you typed showversion, then use the left arrow key to move to the beginning of the line and insert do .

Copyright 2006, Cisco Systems, Inc. Lab Guide 19
Step 2 After Device Manager conducts its next poll you will also notice that interfaces
Host1-P1and JBOD-1 have F andFL designators for their port types. The fact that
both your host and the disks in your JBOD now appear in the Name Serverwindow
indicates that those devices have logged into the fabric. Note that the VSAN Id is
also displayed.
Tip You can click Refresh button to force Device Manager to poll the switch if you dont see any
devices.
Step 3 Click Close.
You have successfully completed this task when you observe your host and disks in the Name
Server window and verify that all FC devices are assigned to the appropriate VSAN.

Task 1: Perform a Switch Health Analysis
The Fabric Manager Switch Health analysis tool helps you to determine the status of the
components of a specific switch. The Switch Health tool can identify problems such as
exceeding environmental thresholds, high processor utilization, line card failures, port and port
link failures, domain manager isolation, and name server rejects.
In this task, you will use the Switch Health tool to determine the status of your switch.

Task 2: Perform an End-to-End Connectivity Analysis
You can use the Fabric Manager End-to-End Connectivity tool to determine connectivity and
routes between devices in the switch fabric. The End-to-End Connectivity tool checks to see
that every pair of end devices in an active zone can talk to each other, by using a ping test and
by determining if they are in the same VSAN. This option uses versions of the ping and
traceroute commands that have been modified for Fibre Channel networks.
The End-to-End Connectivity window displays the selected end points with the source and
target ports on the switch to which each end point is attached.
The output shows all the requests which have failed. The possible descriptions are:
Ignoring empty zoneNo requests are issued for this zone.
Ignoring zone with single memberNo requests are issued for this zone.
Source/Target are unknownNo nameserver entries exist for the ports or no portswere found.
Both devices are on the same switchThe devices are not redundantly connected.
No paths exist.
Only one unique path exists.
VSAN does not have an active zone set.
Average time (micro secs)The latency value was more than the threshold supplied.
In this task, you will use the End to End Connectivitytool to determine connectivity and routes
between devices in your switch fabric.

Task 3: Perform a Fabric Configuration Analysis
In this task, you will use the Fabric Manager Fabric Configuration analysis tool to analyze the
configuration of a switch by comparing the current configuration to a specific switch or to a
saved policy file.
Use a policy file to define the rules to be applied when running the Fabric Configuration
analysis. You can create a policy file by saving a switch configuration to a file.The system
saves the rules selected for the specified switch. You can then compare other switches against
the configuration in the policy file.
