Martytoof posted:I guess this is as close to the right thread as I'll find -- Anyone consider themselves good at Brocade 300 FC switches? I got a boatload of these when we decomm'd one of our production environments and I want to throw them up on the 'bay, but I'm not sure what the best way to factory reset these is. I've reset the passwords and that seems to let me in, but I'm not seeing anything specific in configShow. I've set the management ethernet to DHCP on using ipaddrset, but beyond that is there anything I want to do? http://community.brocade.com/t5/Fibre-Channel-SAN/Reset-brocade-300-san/td-p/25426 You run a series of commands and it will do a factory reset: The only way to do this in Brocade switches it through a series of commands: configdefault -all passwddefault ipaddrset (Set to 10.77.77.77) configure defzone --allaccess cfgclear;cfgsave switchname chassisname snmpconfig Do NOT do the licenseremove command in the forum link, the license is per switch and non-transferable.

Thanks Ants posted:If the license is per-switch then presumably it won't work on a different switch, so posting them up should be OK. I don't see much need to post anything other than the output from the switch listing what it's licensed for though. Pretty much this, the 'license' is really more of a per device 'authenticity' certificate embedded in the device. It won't compromise anything to show it to others.

tehfeer posted:RIP nimble... you were great. HPE is the loving worst they destroy everything they touch. It has already started, nimble canceled their guardians of the galaxies moving screening in my area. I can already smell the HPE stench all over this. I just hope they can keep their support at least half decent until our nimbles are EOL. Client I'm working with bought Nimble for their AIX system, now I can't wait to see which way that goes...

I don't mind EMC, but yeah Nimble is far better.

This is the one I used last time: Dell SAS Raid SCSI 6/iR Controller Card E2K-UCS-61. Can get them for like $25, you'll nee an adapter too. H110Hawk posted:You should verify that your card can't do JBOD mode. The search term you need is "SAS HBA" - you should be able to get a basic one for $150-250 new, much cheaper used. Once you've done the flip with the sg3 utils they should work just fine in whatever you plug them into. The netapp firmware shouldn't impact your ability to use the disks. Yup. Really, the only drawback to just reformatting is that you'll lose like 2-4% of the total disk space. But the NetApp firmware won't stop you from using the drives.

blindjoe posted:Some kind of $20 6/iR sas card has been bought, we shall see if I can get it figured out in a server. You can just use a USB bootable Linux distro, I used a Debian Live USB. Worked fine.

paperchaseguy posted:Well if you want my opinion, it seems overkill. I'm assuming someone surplused it to you? Upgrade the code before the swma ends. Best home config is probably iscsi with DRAID 6 on the back end. Its largely for this guy:

Pile Of Garbage posted:Almost missed V7000 chat. Is it FC or FCoE and if the former do you actually have all the necessary switches and HBAs? What are you actually getting, just one management/disk tray or additional disk trays? If the latter again do you have the required SAS cables to chain them? Its just a single Disk Controller, Its FCoE, and I do have the necessary interfaces and cables. Ill see if I can get the firmware, but its been off and racked for some time so its likely well out of support.

Internet Explorer posted:Dell's storage "strategy" is such a disaster that I wouldn't want to put my eggs in any of their baskets. Which is sad because EMC used to be fantastic. Its even more confusing since Dell's server offerings and their Hyperconverged stuff is actually really decent. Dunno how they dropped the ball on their SAN stuff.

Docjowles posted:My only Brocade exposure was to some of their traditional ethernet network equipment and MY GOD was it a heap of poo poo. I don't remember the details but we had an issue where running certain traffic through it from a host would cause the switch to go into a reboot loop until the host was physically disconnected from the device. Which was certainly something Yeah their standard Ethernet stuff was always trash, but they had Fiberchannel down to a science. Sadly that hosed them in the long run.
