Hi, my name is Phil. I'm one of the Network Engineers here at Dell. In this video
we'll cover how to connect a Fibre Channel Storage Array directly to the MX9116n switches
via SmartFabric. To do this we will create fibre channel direct attached uplinks,
which will configure the MX9116n switches to operate in f-port mode.
First uplink we're going to configure is between the fibre channel storage
and IOM-A1. We will assign IOM-A1 interfaces fibre channel 1/1/43:2, fibre channel 1/1/43:3,
and we'll assign a tag network, use VLAN 30. The second uplink to the fibre channel storage will
be for ION-A2. We will assign ION-A2 interfaces fibre channel 1/1/43:2 and fiber channel 1/1/43:3,
then we'll assign tag network VLAN 40.
In this video we are using OMEM version 1.30. We're using OS10 version 10.5.2.4.
Let's get started.
Within the OpenManage Enterprise Modular let's go ahead and go to 'Devices', 'Fabric'.
You can see there's an error next to the fabric right now, we're going to fix that.
Because there's no links we're going to go ahead and go into the smart fabric,
go ahead and add an up link here, go ahead and give it a name,
uplink type select 'FC Direct Attached'.
Now we're going to go to the ION-A1 and select some interfaces.
We'll select the VLAN, choose 'VLAN 30' and we'll hit 'Finish'.
And you can watch the status, now that turns green, so we have some uplinks and they're good.
I'll go ahead and add the other uplink. This is going to be for IOM-A2
let's go ahead and give it a name,
uplink type, direct attached, we'll hit 'Next'.
We need to go to IOM2, we'll go ahead and select the interfaces
and the VLAN. Choose VLAN 40, let's click 'Finish'.
OK, we can see we have both uplinks that we created there, and we see a status of 'OK'.
Let's go ahead and look at the topology give a visual of it, and you can see those links.
Thanks for watching this video.
