Configuring MDS 9222i and portchannels

Trying to wrap my head around how a MDS 9222i is configured.  We have 2 of them and will be implementing FCIP.  I found a great document on FCIP and all of that and feel comfortable there.  However, connecting the MDS 9222i slightly confuses me.  I am assuming I can use all 4 of the 1Gbps copper ports.  Is this a correct assumption?  Can I use a portchannel/etherchannel configuration for this on the MDS?
Any help would surely be appreciated.  Thank you.

Ok, you guys were on the right track but anyone else who comes across this issue there are some things that were not clearly noted (or maybe I read over them) posted here:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/switches/datacenter/mds9000/sw/4_1/configuration/guides/cli_4_1/clibook.html
Basically, MGMT port is required to get access to the device.  From there, I set up the gig ports which require separate IPs for each one that I want to uplink and for each FCIP configuration.
interface GigabitEthernet1/1
  ip address 10.123.10.201 255.255.255.0
  switchport description Core Link connection
  no shutdown
interface GigabitEthernet1/2
  ip address 10.123.10.202 255.255.255.0
  switchport description Core Link connection
  no shutdown
interface GigabitEthernet1/3
  no shutdown
interface GigabitEthernet1/4
  no shutdown
interface mgmt0
  ip address 10.111.2.200 255.255.0.0
From there, had to configure the FCIP connection:
fcip profile 1
  ip address 10.123.10.201
  tcp max-bandwidth-mbps 30 min-available-bandwidth-mbps 20  round-trip-time-ms 5
fcip profile 2
  ip address 10.123.10.202
  tcp max-bandwidth-mbps 30 min-available-bandwidth-mbps 20  round-trip-time-ms 5
interface fcip1
  use-profile 1
  peer-info ipaddr 10.198.10.201
  channel-group 1 force
  no shutdown
interface fcip2
  use-profile 2
  peer-info ipaddr 10.198.10.202
  channel-group 1 force
  no shutdown
Thats really it.  The default gateway needed to be on the same subnet/VLAN as the Gigabit interfaces NOT the mgmt interface.  Found that out the hard way but that wasnt a big deal to figure out.
From there, do the following command:
sho fcip sum
Tun prof    Eth-if    peer-ip       Status T W T Enc Comp  Bandwidth   rtt
                                           E A A            max/min    (us)
1   1    GE1/1      10.198.10.201    TRNK  Y N N  N   N       30M/20M  5000
2   2    GE1/2      10.198.10.202    TRNK  Y N N  N   N       30M/20M  5000
But that was it.  Thanks for the help.

  • Shoul I upgrade MDS 9222i and MDS 9124 both have SANOS 3.3.2 to 3.3.5?

    Hi guys,
    I have 2 MDS 9222i, 2 MDS 9124 and 10 MDS Blades Switches (IBM Blades) all have SANOS 3.3.2.
    All those swicthes are attached to external drives (IBM DS4800) IBM requested to upgrade this DS4800 firmware level but in order to do that they told me that I need a new SANOS I plan to upgrade it to SANOS 3.3.5 can someone tell me if this SANOS works alright? or What SANOS do yoy recommend me?
    Thanks in advance

  • Port-Channel issue between UCS FI and MDS 9222i switch

  • Interconnecting CIsco MDS 9222i to the HP C-Blade enclosute VC-FC Virtual connect module

    Hi,
    Anyone had the experience of interconnecting the CIsco MDS 9222i to an HP Blade system through the VC-FC virtual connect module?
    When i connect my MDS switch to the module, the VC-FC ports dont log in to the MDS. Could i be missing out on something? I have configured the MDS to use the default VSAN 1 and tried configuring the ports as F-ports but nothing worked, even with the port mode put on auto they still take on the F-port role and still the VC-FC module doesnt log in.
    Your help and support will be appreciated
    jerrysimila

    i wanna use the CLI though i also have the fabric manager at my disposal. would you kindly
    share a sanitised version of ur running config for the mds that does the FCIP replication to the DR i see if i can make head out of it then i
    f i face any challenge will holla at u. you can email me [email protected]
    My set up is as follows, ive got 2 MDS 9222i at the primary site in active-standby mode, one connects to the active VC while the other connects to the standby VC of the blade system. Then i have a similar set up for the DR. Good thing is that am first setting everything up here in my Data Centre, then test before sending the configured equipment to the DR. So i have much freedom to get dirty with the equipment, and its not a live environment yet.
    Kindly let me know the step-by-step procedure of having the FCIP set up.

    dear everyone~
      in project ,i need config  MDS 9222i use 4 FCIP interface connect to 7606S 4 GE port for port-channel feature,but in MDS9222i i use port-channel commad ,cannot run。
    how can i config it?

    Hi Sun,
    Ethernet PortChannels are not supported on MSM-18/4 modules and 9222i IPS modules.
    You can place the fcip interfaces in a fibre channel port-channel instead.

  • Can we configure MDS in an ADF library?

    Hi,
    The goal is that we configure MDS (runtime user customization specifically) in a common ViewController project and export it as an ADF library. So that all the consuming projects will inherit the MDS configuration without the need to configure MDS for each of them. Is this supported or doable? Thanks.

  • SNMP or MDS 9222i stopped working

    Ok,
    Got two MDS 9222i switches and by some act of crazyness both have stopped responding to SNMP request. As such our monitoring tools cannot get to them. Worse still the fabric manager cannot manage them and I cannot connect to them via ssh1 or ssh2 or telnet.
    I've removed ssh and snmp setting and readded. Switch will work for around 30 seconds then drops connection and when you try reconnect it times out.
    commands removed and added
    no telnet server enable
    ssh key rsa1 1024 force
    ssh server enable
    snmp-server contact ******
    snmp-server location ******
    snmp-server community ******group network-operator
    snmp-server community ****** group network-admin
    snmp-server community ****** group network-admin

    I've removed the names and replaced with ******, also have run no commands to remove then readded.
    Like I said once the settings are there will work for 30seconds or so then crap out.
    Running version 3.3(1a)
    Any insight would be greatly appreciated, will be upgrading kickstart and version to 4.1.1c this weekend but wanted to find the issue at hand first.
    Thanks

    So you have the same symptom of SSH and FM not working with a crossover cable? Not sure how ACS would work if you had a cross over cable in place to your PC because the ACS server would not be reachable from the MDS. It should drop to local auth and use the local user database.
    Can you try to ping the MDS mgmt IP address with the cable not connected? Just to verify there is no duplicate IP address on the network? Set up a continuous ping and let it run for over a minute if all looks good. At the 1 minute mark, unplug the mgmt 0 cable and verify that the pings now timeout.
    I can not think of anything internally that would affect both SSH and SNMP from working. They are totally different process. You mentioned it is a 9222i, so there is no chance that they sups are crashing and you are hitting a sup roll over to cause the disconnect.
    You may want to attach a local console (PC with hypertem or Teraterm) to the console port on the MDS and monitor the event logs. Perhaps there is some event occurring that might explain the odd behavior.
    If you do attach the local console, you may want to collect a 'show tech support' in case this needs to be worked by TAC.
    Thanks,

    Dear Support,
    need your help to fix my setting.
    I have bought now the good 10GBFC Module for connexion between MDS C9134 and C9222i. the trunking is OK between the 2 switches.
    But we have Vsan with zone on each MDS but they cannot communicate.

    Waiting for your feedback urgently

    Hello Omer,
    Yes, you got it right, LANs are very different from SANs. VLAN concept is similar to VSAN, but there are a few differences. First of all, there is no concept of LAN's VTP in Cisco's SAN-OS (NX-OS). You need to manually create VSANs on all switches. Secondly, "inter VSAN routing (IVR)" is not automatic. You have to configure IVR vsan-topology and IVR zones+zoneset. But in your case, maybe you could just put all devices into the same VSAN and simply control communication between devices using zones. Yes, you could use only VSAN 1 to solve it. Place everything into VSAN 1 and configure zones in VSAN 1 on one of the switches. Place zones into zoneset, activate it, and active zoneset will automatically propagate in VSAN 1 to the other switch.
    Let me know if you have any more questions.
    Regards,
    Roman

  • How to configure a shell and tube heat exchanger with Lab VIew to get data

    HiI
    In our undergraduate chemical engineering labboratory we want to configure our shell and tube heat exchanger  with a DAq and Lab VIEW to get information about the temperaure (of the cold fluid stream being heated), the pressure (of the steam on the shell side of the heat exchanger) and the flowrate (of the water being heated).
    Can anyone suggest thermocouples, pressure transducers and flowmeters to fit between the heat exchanger and the DAq?
    P.S. the heat exchanger is already fitted with thermometers, a pressure gauge and a rotameter but we don't know how to connect these hardware to the DAq
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    It sounds like you have enough information to pick out appropriate sensors, you just need to do the research. I would start looking through the Omega catalog, or give them a call - they're usually helpful. I can't take the time to spec out parts for you - that would be a lot of time spent on someone else's project. Most pressure sensors put out either a 4-20mA or 0-5V signal, either of which you can read through an analog input on a DAQ; measuring a 4-20mA signal requires a resistor to convert to voltage. Most of the NI DAQ boards can read a thermocouple on an analog input, but make sure that your hardware does support reading thermocouples. For accurate readings, use a device that has built-in cold junction compensation - for example, the SCB-68 connector block - and for the most accurate readings, get a board specifically designed for temperature measurement.
    For the flow measurement, a standard, simple solution is an orifice plate. You put a differential pressure transducer across it, look up the appropriate equations, and use them to calculate the flow rate given the density of the fluid (which you'll be able to calculate from the pressure and temperature, since steam tables are widely available). There are other differential pressure devices available as well - at a previous job we used a V-Cone from McCrometer. If you call them they'll spec one for you - but get an approximate cost first to make sure it's within your budget.

    Hey Atrina,
    The actual data stored on disk is just the raw data (that is, a byte per sample in your case).  It's really just a matter of how that data is being represented in LabVIEW whenever you read back the TDMS file.
    I'm not sure if there is a better way to do this, but here is a way to accomplish what you're wanting:
    Read back the TDMS file as a digital waveform.  Then there's a conversion function in LabVIEW called DWDT Digital to Binary.  This function will convert that set of digital channels into the "port format" that you're wanting.  I've attached an example of what I mean.
    Note: When looking at this VI, there are a few things that the downgrade process did to the VI that I would not recommend for these TDMS files.  It added a 1.0 constant on the TDMS Open function, and it set "disable buffering" on the TDMS Open function to false; you can get rid of both of those constants.

  • SLD Configuration - Technical System and Business System

    Hello,
    I have installed SAP Solution Manager with local SLD and i want to use this system as Central SLD for my System Landscape. Later on i have installed other SAP Products like ECC,BI,PI etc.
    Some of the systems i registered with previously defined SLD in Solution Manager, but some system i forgot to register with SLD during installation.
    I am not sure or aware what is the difference between SLD configuration during installation and after installation.
    If i have Register the System during installation will it register automatically with SLD or we have to do manually.
    If i have not register system during installation and later on i want to register particular system with SLD what is procedure for that.
    Can some one share knowledge on What is Technical Systems and Business System in SLD Configuration, i tried to do some activity for SLD Configuration but after seeing above both terms i was confused so for time being i stopped this activity.
    Looking forward for kind response.
