SAN Switch Setup 2910al

  • 1.  SAN Switch Setup 2910al

    Posted Oct 25, 2011 10:55 AM

    Hi Everyone,

     

    I am new to procurve switches and have been tasked to setup a SAN fabric.

     

    Currently have to 2910al switches.

     

    Have created a VLAN for the SAN and enabled flow-control and Jumbo frames for the SAN.

     

    Config So Far

     

    VLAN 1 - Management VLAN

    IP Gateway - 10.0.0.99

    IP Address - 10.0.0.20/24

    Untagged - 20 - 24

     

    VLAN 10 - SAN VLAN

    IP Address 192.168.0.20/24

    Untagged 1-19

     

    I have enabled the IP Route command to be able to route through traffic.

     

    I currently have the server connected from 1 NIC with IP - 192.168.0.100 VLAN 10. The other NIC is with IP 10.0.0.100 IP Gateway 10.0.0.1 connected to the LAN

     

    I need to be able to route the SAN software to the email system on the 10.0.0.0/24 network so that it can alert me when there are issues with the SAN.

     

    I also then need to be able to add in my other switch into the fabric so that the 2 switches are connected to the SAN and the server is connected to the 2 switches. However when i do this i have issues with connecting to the SAN box. I have tried enabling RSTP on both switches with no luck.

     

    Can anyone help?

    So which one is it for the gateway ? Your switch shows 10.0.0.99 and your server shows 10.0.0.1. Whichever one it ultimately is, unless you are running a routing protocol like RIP, OSPF, etc... then you'll need to add a static route to that router/switch to know how to get back to the 192.168.0.0/24 network via the IP address of the 2910al.

    The server gateway is also 10.0.0.99 not 10.0.0.1

     

    Would i be entering a static route into the switch to allow traffic from the 192.168.0.0/24 network to the 10.0.0.0/24 network via the server?

     

    Would i need to plug the 2 switches up to the 10.0.0.0/24 switch fabric or will all the traffic route through the server?
