If you have an NTP server, enable the NTP Server and enter the NTP Server information. This is located in the GUI Screen
on the Information tab when the router is selected in the System Tree view.
To connect to remote SANs, continue with step 9.
To connect FC/iSCSI initiators to FC/iSCSI targets, continue with step 10.
Step 9. Configuring SANbox 6142s for Connecting Remote SANs
Configuration requirement:
❑ At least one FC Port of the SANbox 6142 should be connected to a FC SAN.
❑ It is recommended to use Fibre Channel World Wide Port name (WWPN) based zoning. Add each SANbox
6142 router’s FC WWPN to all zones in the FC switch to which it is connected. The FC switch zoning changes
allow the SANbox 6142 router to discover all devices in the FC SAN.
Additional requirement for remote SAN island connectivity:
❑ The iSCSI/GE port IP addresses of both local and remote routers must be set so that the routers are accessible
to each other.
❑ The management port IP address of both local and remote routers must be set so that the routers are accessible
to each other.
❑ It is recommended that you have installed SmartWrite™ feature (License) on each router.
Associate remote SANbox 6142 to local SANbox 6142:
Using GUI:
Invoke SANsurfer™ Router Manager and connect to a local SANbox 6142 using management port IP address.
Run “Add remote router” Wizard by selecting pull-down wizard menu.
❑ Enter remote router management port IP address and select Next.
❑ Enter the local router password (default password is “config”) in the password dialog box.
❑ Enter the remote router password (default password is “config”) in the password dialog box.
❑ Status information screen displays the status of this operation.
Using CLI:
Use the “remotepeer add” command to associate the local and remote routers.
“show remotepeer” CLI command will show the list of remote Routers.
Refer to Appendix A in the SANbox 6142 Intelligent Storage Router User’s Guide.
Import FC Devices from remote SAN to local SAN:
Using GUI:
Run “Map Remote Initiator/Target” Wizard to establish connection between local and remote devices.
❑ Select the Device to be mapped by expanding the router tree.
❑ Select Next button to select the other device for this mapping.
❑ Upon selecting the next button, if “SmartWrite™” licenses are enabled, SmartWrite™ features are displayed.
❑ Please enable SmartWrite™.
