❑
❑
❑

❑
❑
Step 6. Install the SANsurfer Router Manager.
Step 7. Configure iSR6140 management port IP address.
Step 8. Run the configuration wizard.
Step 9. Present LUNs to iSCSI initiators.
Step 1. Verify the Package Contents
The QLogic iSR6140 Router is shipped with the following items:
❑
❑
❑
iSR6140 Router (1)
Small Form Factor Pluggable (SFP) transceivers (2)
AC power cord (1), CD (1), and serial adapter (1)
Optional equipment:
❑
Shelf for rack mount
Step 2. Complete the Pre-installation Checklist
During the initial configuration process, the system prompts you to enter the following parameters. Use the space
provided to record the IP addresses.
Symbolic Name of this iSR6140
Management port IP address, subnet
mask, and gateway (if not using DHCP)
iSCSI port 1 IP address, subnet mask,
and gateway (GE-1)
iSCSI port 1 iSN IP address (GE-1)
iSCSI port 2 IP address, subnet mask,
and gateway (GE-2)
iSCSI port 2 iSNS IP address (GE-2)

Step 3. Mount the Router
Place the router on a flat surface or mount it in a standard 19-inch Electronic Industries Association (EIA) rack.
Step 4. Install the SFPs
An SFP transceiver is required for each router port that will be connected to a Fibre Channel device or switch. SFPs are
included in the package. If you’d prefer to use different SFP transceivers from the ones provided, purchase one of the
following QLogic recommended transceivers:
❑
❑
Finisar
JDS Uniphase
To install an SFP transceiver, insert the transceiver into the router port and press gently until it snaps in place. The
transceiver will fit only one way. If the transceiver does not install under gentle pressure, flip it over and try again.
Step 5. Apply Power to the iSR6140 Router
Figure 3 shows the location of the ports and LEDs on the iSR6140 router that are referenced in the following instructions.

2.
Attach the AC power cord to the iSR6140 router and then to the wall outlet or power strip.
Verify that the router’s input power LED is illuminated. The iSR6140 router runs its self test and begins
normal operation—this may take a minute.
3.
Verify that the heartbeat LED is blinking (once per second) and that the system fault LED is not illuminated.
For installation details, diagnostics, and troubleshooting, see the iSR6140 Intelligent Storage Router Installation Guide.

Step 6. Install the SANsurfer Router Manager
Perform the following steps to install the SANsurfer iSCSI/FC Router Manager application from the QLogic website to
a PC workstation:
1.
2.
Close all programs currently running.
Go to the QLogic download site:
3.
4.
5.
6.
7.
Select the Intelligent Storage Routers icon.
Select iSR6140 in the product selection window and click Go.
Under the product name column, select thelink to the SANsurferRouter Managerforyour operating system.
Read the license agreement and click Agree.
Follow the system prompts to uncompress and install the application.
Step 7. Configure iSR6140 Management Port IP Address
Connect the router’s 10/100 Ethernet port to your workstation using a switch or hub. Alternatively you may connect your
workstation directly to the router using an Ethernet crossover cable.
The iSR6140 management port’s default IP address is 10.0.0.1 subnet 255.0.0.0. Make sure the workstation connected
to the iSR6140 router has Ethernet address 10.0.0.x, where x is other than 1 and subnet mask is 255.0.0.0.
Fromtheworkstation, openacommandwindowandusingatelnetsessionconnecttoiSR6140usingIPaddress 10.0.0.1.
Login as “guest” and use the password “password." This will take you to a CLI prompt as shown in Figure 4.
Figure 4. QLogic Router Command Line Interface
Enter the CLI command admin start. The default password is “config.” Enter the set mgmt command at the
QRouter (admin) #>prompt.
Selectthemode. Werecommendyouusestaticaddress. SelectOption0andentertheIPaddress, subnetinformation,
and gateway, if applicable.
You will lose the connectivity of the telnet session at this time. If you want to continue using the CLI, restart the telnet
session with the IP address you just assigned to the management port.

You now have the management port configured with the appropriate IP address. Connect the management port cable
to your Ethernet network. Connect GE1, GE2, FC 1, and FC 2 cables as shown in the configuration diagrams
(Figure 1/Figure 2).
Step 8. Run the Configuration Wizard
®
1.
Start the SANsurfer Router manager previously installed on the computer that will be used to manage
the iSR6140. You should see a display as shown in the following figures.
2.
3.
Click the Connect button on the top-left corner.
Enter the IP address of the iSR6140 you want to configure.
4.
Click Yes to start the configuration wizard. The following screen appears:
5.
6.
Enter the Symbolic Name for this router.
Select each iSCSI port and use the wizard to enter IP addresses for the iSCSI Port, and optionally, the IP
address of an iSNS server.
7.
8.
Save the changes; the default password is “config.”
Copy the FC WWPN (World Wide Port Names) for both FC Ports.You will need these names to present
LUNS from your Storage subsystem.
FC 1 WWPN
FC 2 WWPN
9.
If you have an NTP server, enable the NTP Server and enter the NTP Server information. This is located on
the Information tab that appears after you select the iSR6140 Router node in the System Tree view.

Step 9. Present LUNs to iSCSI Initiators
1.
2.
If the iSR6140 is connected in the FC fabric, make sure the FC fabric zoning is set so that FC array ports
and router FC ports are in the same zone.
Using array management software, create all LUNs you want to present to all iSCSI initiators through this
iSR6140. Present the LUNs from FC array to iSR6140 using WWPNs of this iSR6140. If you are setting up
a high availability configuration that uses two iSR6140s as a pair, present the LUNs to both iSR6140s using
FC WWPNs of both iSR6140s.
3.
Create the iSCSI initiator list in iSR6140 using one of the following methods:
❑
Enter the iSCSI initiator name using the Add Initiator Wizard. The system prompts you to enter the
iSCSI name of an initiator.
OR
❑
From the server with iSCSI initiators, run a discovery session for the iSCSI Port IP address of the
iSR6140. This will automatically register the iSCSIInitiator names with the iSR6140. Running iSCSI
discovery session on different OS environments may vary. The example below illustrates how to
run iSCSI discovery session on Windows Server.
Running discovery session on Windows Server:
a. InstallaniSCSIinitiatoron yourserver. Thiscan eitherbea dedicated iSCSI HBAora software
b. Invoke the software initiator, and then specify the IP address of the iSCSI port on your
iSR6140. When you select the Targets tab, a screen appears, similar to the following:
6
4.
Present LUNs to iSCSI Initiator:
a.
Click the Refresh button to refresh the SANsurfer display. The iSCSI initiator names should
appear on the Discovered Initiators tab.
b.
Run the LUN presentation Wizard to assign a LUN(s) to a server(s).
c.
Launch the Presentation Wizard from the Wizards drop-down menu. This wizard allows you to
map a LUN to the iSCSI initiator on your server. The screen that allows this mapping looks as
follows:
d.
e.
Save the mappings using your management password.
Refresh the SANsurfer Router Manager display. Now, when you select your iSCSI initiator on
the LHS of the display, you should be able to see the LUNs mapped to that initiator as follows:
f.
Return to the Windows Server screen and select LogOn to log on to this target. The status
should change from Inactiveto Connected.
Congratulations! You have now successfully installed your QLogic
iSR6140 and mapped target LUNs to iSCSI initiator on your server. Your
server should see the Fibre Channel LUNs through the server’s volume
manager.
