Chapter 3: Installing the V-Switch 3000
37
Slide the V-Switch 3000 into the rack making sure to position the V-Switch 3000
to rest on the rear mounts.
The rear mounts may turn inward slightly before the V-witch 3000 is inserted.
If the V-Switch does not enter easily, push the mount lips outward slightly while
inserting the V-Switch 3000.
Insert the rear of the V-Switch 3000 until the L-brackets touch the rack
mounting posts.
STEP 5. ATTACH THE V-SWITCH 3000 TO THE RACK MOUNTING POSTS
Align the mounting holes on the L-brackets with the mounting holes on the rack
mounting posts making sure that the L-brackets are the same height as the rear
mounts.
Using screws that you provide, attach the V-Switch to the rack mounting posts
by screwing two screws on each side through the L-brackets and into the
threaded holes in the rack mounting posts.
Once the V-Switch 3000 is mounted, you can begin connecting the requisite
cables.
Storage Port Connections
Connect the SAN storage devices or fabric to the V-Switch 3000 using the
FC/SCSI storage ports.
The storage ports are located on the back upper left of the V-Switch 3000.
The number and configuration of storage ports on your V-Switch 3000 will
vary depending on your V-Switch 3000 order specifications.
The V-Switch 3000 contains a storage auto-discovery function. At power-
up the V-Switch 3000 automatically scans for and registers all attached and
powered up network storage devices.
If you are building a V-Switch 3000 cluster, power up each disk one at a
time after connecting them to the powered-up V-Switches. This allows
each disk to be numbered with the same default disk number on each V-
Switch 3000 during auto-discovery. This will make cluster configuration
easier. For more information on V-Switch clusters, see “Introduction to V-
Switch Clusters,” page 72.

Figure 15. V-Switch 3000 Storage Ports
When connecting more than one V-Switch 3000 to a group of storage
devices, ensure that the same port on each V-Switch 3000 is used to connect
to the same storage device. This increases the chance of the storage device
