Switch / Reset Switch.
• Remove and then reinsert the Fibre Channel switch module in the Blade Server Chassis SBCE.
Configuring a switch module
The SAN Utility is used to configure the switch module. Switch module configuration is divided into two
areas: chassis configuration and network configuration. Chassis configuration specifies parameters that relate
to switch module identity on the Fibre Channel network. Network configuration specifies parameters that
relate to switch module identity on the Ethernet network. To open the Switch Properties window, click Switch
/ Switch Properties. You can also right-click a switch graphic in the Topology window or Faceplate window
and click Switch Properties.
Switch module properties
Use the Switch Properties window shown in Figure 15 on page 99 to change the module name, administrative
state and domain ID; to enable or disable broadcast support; and to enable or disable inband management. The
timeout values are displayed for reference purposes only when the switch module is online. These fields
become active when the switch module is taken offline. After making changes, click OK to put the new values
into effect.
