| NOTE: A maximum of two B-series SAN Director switches currently are supported to ship configured to order from the factory in a 42U, 10000 (10KG2) and Intelligent Series cabinet. However, 220V PDUs must be configured because 110V PDUs are not supported. | |
| | |
| 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: |
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: | |
| 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. | |
| 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. | |
| 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.
|
|
| |
|
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:
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. |
| | |
|

| HP SN8000B Inter Chassis Link License | Inter Chassis Links (ICLs) harness
unused ports to connect the switching backplane of SAN Directors. The SN8000B
SAN Directors offer Second-generation ICL technology which includes new
optical ports, higher port density, and support for standard optical cables
up to 50 meters. Base ICL support can connect up to four SN8000B Directors,
enabling flatter, faster, and simpler fabrics that increase consolidation
while reducing network complexity and costs. ICLs enable scalable core edge and active-active mesh chassis topologies. These high-density chassis topologies reduce inter-switch cabling by 75 percent and free up to 33 percent of ports for server and storage. This maximizes overall port density in the lowest amount of rack space. The SN8000B 8-Slot Director has a total of 32 ICL ports (16 per core switching blade) that deliver 2.1 Tbps of bandwidth. This is equivalent to 128 16 Gbps ISLs. The SN8000B 4-Slot Director has a total of 16 ICL ports (eight per core switching blade) that deliver 1 Tbps of bandwidth. This is equivalent to 64 16 Gbps ISLs. There is a common ICL POD (Ports on Demand) license between SN8000 8-Slot and 4-Slot chassis. A single ICL POD license will enable 16 QSFP ICLs or 1Tbps of bandwidth in both SN8000 8-Slot and 4-Slot SAN Director. A subsequent ICL POD license will enable an additional 16 QSFP ICLs or 1Tbps in a SN8000B 8-Slot Director. NOTE: ICL licenses are required for each SN8000B SAN Director. ICL QSFPs and optical cables are required for connectivity. |
|

| HP B-series SAN Backbone Director Integrated Routing LTU | Integrated Routing is an optional
license which provides native Fibre Channel Routing (FCR) on a per-port
basis, rather than limiting routing ports to those on a dedicated routing
blade or switch. Just like traditional FCR, Integrated Routing uses EX_Ports
to import/export devices between fabrics, enabling selective device sharing
while maintaining remote fabric isolation. Integrated Routing provides architecture
flexibility to route on a port-by-port basis, enabling increased scalability
and fault isolation. NOTE: Supported for all B-series SAN Directors. |

| 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. |
