HP StorageWorks Serial Port

Need A PC with: HyperTerminal Utility Available COM port

9600 Baud 8 bits No parity One stop bit No hardware flow control

Required Cable :HP P/N XHP-000027

Switch 4/16

Tip: Any straight-through serial cable (DB9 female to female) with only pins 2, 3 and 5


Setting Initial IP Address on HP StorageWorks

Use the COM port: To set IP address:

Input the data using “ipAddrSet” command Copy the IP Address to the label provided on the front panel

To reset the switch configuration parameters to Brocade default: Enter the “configDefault” command


Upgrading the FirmwarefirmwareDownload

Download the firmware file from source Logon to the switch as `admin’ via telnet Type the command

FirmwareDownload (Immediate`Return’ will force interactive mode)

Host IP Address Username = `root’ Protocol = <rshd |ftp> Password (mandatory if Ftp is used) Filename (e.g. v2.6.0)

fastboot


Factory Default SettingsconfigDefault

The configDefault command is used to reset some of the switch functional configuration parameters to their default values. All the parameters are set to defaults except the following:

World Wide Name Ethernet MAC address Ethernet IP address and subnetmask IP gateway address OEM customization SNMP configuration Zoning configuration Quickloop configuration License keys System name Password (firmware 2.6 and higher)

Warning: Configdefault resets the switch to factory defaults, not hp defaults


Configuration Parameters
