4/256 SAN Director and 4/256 Power Pack
|
|
|
|
|
|
SAN scalability |
Scales up to 384 ports in a
single switch domain, participating in large core-to-edge fabrics. Please

|
Cabinet Support
|
22U, 36U, and 42U; 5000, 9,000 and 10,000 series StorageWorks Cabinets are supported |
| 25U, 33U, and 41U HP system/e cabs | |
| NOTE: A maximum of two Director switches currently are supported to ship configured to order from the factory in a StorageWorks 42U, 10000 (10KG2) cabinet. The Standard internal PDUs provided with StorageWorks cabinets CANNOT be used for the SAN Director when configured in a StorageWorks 42U, 10000 series cabinet. Two 30 AMP, 200-240V, L6-30p PDUs are required per cabinet. The part number for the required 30 AMP PDU is E7681A (E7681-63001). | |
|
|
|
| Software Components, Standard | |
|
Remote Switch |
The Remote Switch fabric functions with the aid of a bridging device, or network bridge. The network bridge supports Fibre Channel physical interfaces, as well as secondary non-Fibre Channel FCIP physical interfaces. |
|
|
|
|
Frame Filtering |
An ASIC based capability in the 4 Gb family of SAN switches that enables new applications and features. The switch has the ability to "view" the first 64-bytes of the Fibre Channel frame. At this time, Frame Filtering enables advanced capabilities such as Advanced Zoning and Advanced Performance Monitoring (optional). |
|
|
|
|
Advanced Zoning |
In the 2Gb generation of switches, WWN Zoning and Access Control are enforced by hardware that provides the same simple administration previously enforced only with software. Administrators can organize a physical fabric into logical groups and prevent unauthorized access by devices outside the Zone. |
|
|
|
|
WebTools |
WebTools is an intuitive and easy-to-use graphical interface that enables organizations to monitor and manage HP SAN switch fabrics. SAN administrators can perform management tasks by using a Java-capable Web browser from standard laptops, desktop PCs, or workstations from any location within the enterprise. |
|
|
|
|
EGM |
Enhanced Group Management (EGM)
is a FOS license that is included with all B-Series switches and enables
multi-switch operations. It helps automate operations across multiple switches
to save time and streamline repetitive operations, which are typically prone
to error. EGM drives consistency across fabrics, while minimizing the risk
associated with potential downtime due to configuration mismatches. EGM
provides streamlined troubleshooting for more effective fabric monitoring
and diagnosis. Both Data Center Fabric Manager Professional and Enterprise enable EGM functionality. Customers have EGM functionality enabled within the hardware product and need only to make the decision around which management application is right for them - Data Center Fabric Manager Professional or Enterprise. |
|
|
|
| Software Components, Optional | |
|
SAN Director Power Pack Software Bundle
|
The SAN Director Power Pack Software bundle includes: |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Extended Fabric |
Extends all of the scalability, reliability, and performance benefits of Fibre Channel Storage Area Networks (SANs) beyond the native 10 km distance specified by the Fibre Channel standard. |
|
|
|
|
Data Center Fabric Manager Professional |
HP StorageWorks Data Center Fabric Manager Professional is a server based management application available at no-charge and comes with B-series SAN Switches and includes the following features:
It is targeted for SMB customers that use FOS based SAN fabrics and require
a management solution for smaller SANs based on a single fabric. |
|
|
|
|
Data Center Fabric Manager Enterprise
|
HP StorageWorks Data Center
Fabric Manager Enterprise is the enterprise-class product that supports
FOS products as well as FOS and M-EOS products together. It provides complete
DC SAN Backbone Director management including enterprise-class features/environments
such as FICON, Fibre Channel Routing, FCIP, adaptive networking, etc. It delivers unprecedented scalability (up to 24 fabrics and 9,000 switch ports) compared to the existing products. It offers brand-new features including Adaptive Networking features for quality of service, ingress rate limiting and traffic isolation zones. Data Center Fabric Manager Enterprise requires at least one FOS based B-series SAN switch in the SAN. While DCFM provides increased functionality, not all features available in FM or HAFM are available in DCFM, and some functions may operate differently. Please refer to the Migration and Transition guide for additional information. |
|
|
|
|
ISL Trunking |
For high performance enhanced Trunking, this optional license logically groups up to eight E-ports to provide a high bandwidth trunk between two switches. Each 4 Gb switch needs its own license. The switch operating system views the trunk as a single, high bandwidth resource (up to 32 Gb) when routing connections between switches. Connections are load-balanced across the individual links, which comprise the logical trunk group. |
|
|
|
|
Advanced Performance Monitor |
This enabling technology helps administrators monitor and watch specific fabric metrics -- from a SID (Source ID) to a DID (Destination ID) -- so they can fine-tune and scale the fabric more efficiently. Plus, Advanced Performance Monitoring includes the ability for early warning detection of hot spots within the fabric, a powerful tool for maintaining overall balanced performance. |
|
|
|
|
Fabric Watch |
Fabric Watch enables each switch to monitor the SAN for potential faults and automatically alert network managers to problems before they become failures. Fabric Watch tracks a variety of SAN fabric elements, events, and counters. Monitoring fabric-wide events, ports, SFPs, and environmental parameters permits early fault detection and isolation as well as performance measurement. Each switch in the SAN needs its own Fabric Watch license. |
|
|
|
| HP StorageWorks 4/256 SAN Director FICON CUP Active License | Ficon Director Switching provides Fibre Channel and FICON intermix, FICON Control Unit Port (CUP), and FICON cascading for more then one 4/256 SAN Director in XP Storage Array environments. The license feature provides Control Unit Port (CUP) in-and management function designed to allow mainframe applications to perform configuration, monitoring, management and statistics collection. These applications include System Automation for OS/390 (SA/390), Dynamic Channel Management Facility (DCM) and Resource Management Facility (RMF). Hardware- enforced FICON and FCP port zoning enhances separation with intermix operation. |
|
|
|
|
HP StorageWorks MP Blade Performance Extension LTU |
Optional software license to
activate the high performance extension services. The HP MPR Blade provides
two types of SAN Services: Optional software license to activate the FCIP SAN services. The HP MPR Blade provides two types of SAN Services: FC-FC Subnet Routing Service for SAN island consolidation: Logically connect devices in multiple SAN fabrics to share storage resources-from any fabric regardless of distance-with the administration and fault isolation benefits of separately managed fabrics FCIP Tunneling Service for SAN extension over distance: Seamlessly and reliably extend HP B-Series SANs across MAN and WAN IP networks with high performance FCIP services, fully integrated with HP CA solutions for EVA and XP. Configurable hardware-based encryption is also available in for the FCIP service with FOS v5.2 or later. |
