It is available pre-configured or as an upgrade for every SN8000B 4-Slot Director and DC04 SAN Director. Power Pack+ also provides the foundation for integration into HP storage management tools, enabling infrastructure management through a single-pane-of-glass. Adaptive Networking is a new feature of the Power Pack+ tools which helps improve fabric behavior and ensures ample bandwidth for critical applications.

New features exclusively available on the SN8000B SAN Directors:

There is a common ICL POD (Ports on Demand) license between SN8000B 8-Slot and 4-Slot chassis. A single ICL POD license will enable 16 QSFP ICLs or 1Tbps of bandwidth in both SN8000B 8-Slot and 4-Slot Director. A subsequent ICL POD license will enable an additional 16 QSFP ICLs or 1Tbps in SN8000B 8-Slot Director. New, optional Enterprise ICL PODs will enable from five to nine chassis connected together and is added to the base ICL POD.

SN8000B SAN Directors allow customers to configure a port in any 16Gb blade at 10Gb FC speed. This is required for DWDM metro connectivity and will be enabled by a slot based 10GE license.

SN8000B SAN Directors provide features like in-flight encryption and compression as part of base Fabric Operating System (FOS) with any 16Gb blade. There are new diagnostic features (Diagnostic-Port aka D-Port, Optic Health Monitoring) that will allow functional and stress testing of cables and optics. They use the capabilities of FOS, Director ASIC, and B-series 16Gb optic and are available on 16Gb port blade with 16Gb B-series optics without any additional software license.

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, 8 Gb, and 16 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.

Advanced Zoning

WWN Zoning and Access Control are included in the DC SAN Directors' hardware. 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 install and configure an SN8000B or DC SAN Director. SAN administrators can perform the initial configuration and basic 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.

HP SAN Network Advisor Professional, Professional Plus, 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 - SAN Network Advisor Professional, Professional Plus, or Enterprise.

SAN Director Power Pack+ Software Bundle
The SAN Director Power Pack+ Software bundle includes:
  • Extended Fabric
  • ISL Trunking
  • Adaptive Networking
  • Advanced Performance Monitoring
  • Fabric Watch
  • Server Application Optimization (SAO)

NOTE: Optional software for the SN8000B 4-Slot (QK712A) and DC04 Base SAN Director (AR478A)


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.

FICON Support Optional FICON CUP license which enables host control of switches in mainframe environments. FICON Accelerator is an optional software license that increases the speed of FICON disk and tape read and writes, while maintaining the integrity of command and acknowledgement sequences.

ISL Trunking

For high performance enhanced Trunking, this license logically groups up to eight E-ports to provide a high bandwidth trunk between two switches. Each 8 Gb or 16 Gb slot needs its own license. The switch operating system views the trunk as a single, high bandwidth resource (up to 64 Gb/s for 8 Gb, or up to 128 Gb/s for 16Gb) when routing connections between switches. Connections are load-balanced across the individual links, which comprise the logical trunk group.

Adaptive Networking

Adaptive Networking (AN) is a family of technologies which allow flexible control of traffic movement within the fabric which deliver application aware management of fabric resources. Applications may be used with multiple protocols and multiple classes of service. It includes the following features:
 
  • Ingress Rate Limiting
Allows the ingress bandwidth of a port to be throttled to a rate lower than negotiated with the SAN node. This could be very useful for enterprises offering stepped levels of service and enforcing SLAs.
  • Quality of Service (QoS)
Enables zones with high, medium, and low priorities within a fabric on a zone by zone basis. This can be very useful for prioritizing array replication over MANs and WANs over less critical traffic.
  • Traffic Isolation Zones
Defines paths through a fabric for some or all nodes. Failover allows a non-preferred path to be used if the preferred fails. TIZs use failover by default but it can be disabled if traffic should stop if a preferred path fails. TIZ can be used to manually map out traffic flows within a fabric based on application, priority, and topology.
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.

Top Talkers is a component of Advanced Performance Monitoring and tracks the top traffic flows for hosts and targets for a switch port or a switch. Top Talkers can help identify the ports that need certain Quality of Service (QoS) attributes or it can help determine portions of the physical topology that need reconfiguration.


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.

Server Application Optimization (SAO)

Server Application Optimization (SAO) license improves overall application performance for physical servers and virtual machines. SAO, when deployed with B-Series Fibre Channel HBAs, extends B-Series Adaptive Networking from the B-series SAN fabric to the server infrastructure. This delivers application-level, fine-grain Quality of Service (QoS) management to the HBAs and related server applications.
Solution Requirements:

  • SAO license must be installed on the edge (server connected) switch
  • Adaptive networking (AN) license must be installed on the edge (server connected) switch
  • SAO requires B-series HBA installed in the server

SAN Network Advisor Professional

HP SAN Network Advisor Professional is a management application available at no-charge and comes with B-series SAN Switches and:

  • Allows management of a single Fabric OS (FOS) fabric (up to a 1,000 switch ports)
  • Performs group switch management beyond the scope of Web Tools
  • Does not offer management of the SN8000B 8-Slot, DC SAN Backbone Directors, or FICON.

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.

SMB customers that initially start off with SAN Network Advisor Professional and have a small SAN environment may over time feel the need for an enterprise-class product (SAN Network Advisor Enterprise) as their environments start to grow in size and complexity, and as they start to uptake more enterprise-class functionality (such as Fibre Channel Routing, FCIP, etc.). A non-disruptive upgrade path is available from SAN Network Advisor Professional to SAN Network Advisor Enterprise


SAN Network Advisor Enterprise and Professional+
HP SAN Network Advisor Enterprise and Professional+ are the enterprise-class products that support FOSt. SAN Network Advisor Enterprise provides complete SN8000B 8-Slot Director and DC SAN Backbone Director management including enterprise-class features/environments such as FICON, Fibre Channel Routing, FCIP, adaptive networking, etc while HP SAN Network Advisor Professional+ provides the same feature set except for support for the SN8000B 8-Slot Director, DC SAN Backbone Director, and FICON.

HP SAN Network Advisor Enterprise delivers unprecedented scalability, up to 24 fabrics and 9,000 switch ports, while HP SAN Network Advisor Professional+ scales to 4 SAN Fabrics and 2560 switch ports. To accommodate growth, there is an upgrade available to SAN Network Advisor Enterprise from SAN Network Advisor Professional Plus.

High Density Cables  
Due to the high number of connections required for the 64-port blade, a unique set of cables and couplers must be used to enable the High Density 64-port blade for the DC SAN Directors. There are two methods available for cabling the 64-port blade: The first method is directly from the 64-port blade to a standard LC-LC cable using an mSFP/LC Cable with an LC/LC Multi-mode Coupler as show in example A in the diagram below. The second is through the use of a patch panel as shown in example B. A list of recommended patch panels ,manufactured by CommScope and available through distributors such as Anixter, Graybar, CSC, and AccuTech, is provided below:

For Inter Switch Links (ISL) between two 64-port blades, two mSFP/LC FC Cables along with a LC/LC Multi-mode Coupler as shown in example C can be used.
