Low communication overhead - Fibre Channel protocol provides efficient use of transmission bandwidth, reduces interlocked handshakes across the communication interface, and efficiently implements low-level error recovery mechanisms. This results in little communication overhead in the protocol and a switch bit error rate (BER) better than one bit error per trillion (10 -12 ) bits. Multiple topology support - The switches support F_Port, FL_Port and E_Port. Multiple Class of Service Support - The switches support Class 2, Class 3, and Class F. Several methods of switch management are offered. ASIC we will discuss this on the next slide Copyright 2004 EMC Corporation. All Rights Reserved.

Within Fibre Channel switch concepts, the ASIC is generally referred to the chip that manages a certain number of external FC ports. The BLOOM ASIC manages two Quads of four independent ports each. B-Series switches manage port to port traffic using an internal messaging BUS. There is at least enough memory for 108 buffers per Quad, approximately 216k ram per ASIC.

It fits into a standard RJ-45 telephone-style jack and is about half the size of older SC connectors. The small size allows construction of transceivers half the size of their predecessors, effectively doubling the number of fiber-optic ports that can be connected to a system. The interface also improves optical performance by keeping signal strength up. LC connectors support both single and multimode fiber, used primarily in LAN and WAN environments. All vendors are producing LC-based transceivers for the Fibre Channel protocol commonly used in SANs. Gigabit Ethernet allows for only one-fifth the power loss of Fast Ethernet. Cables using the LC connector averages only 0.1dB power loss. EMC offers adapter cables with an SC connector on one end and an LC connector on the other. Barrel connectors for the SC end allow you to extend the existing fiber cable. Copyright 2004 EMC Corporation. All Rights Reserved.

All rights reserved. 22 Control Processor Cards Dual CP Active/Standby mode Hot Plug Replacement Each CP has an IP address CP0 in slot 5; CP1 in slot6 Hot Standby High availability is provided through redundant CP cards: a standby CP card and an active CP card. The active CP card is the one currently controlling the Director. The standby CP card allows for rapid failover. Failover occurs automatically as soon as the active CP card fails or is removed from the chassis. Slots 5 and 6 house the two Control Processor Boards. Information about both CP cards, including which card is active, is available through the haShow command. The majority of commands must be entered through the active CP card, except for the haShow command, which can be entered through either CP card, and the firmwareDownload command, which must be entered through the standby CP card. Each CP card provides the following ports: Modem serial port The modem serial port has a DB-9 connector wired as a DTE device, and can be used to connect to a DCE device. Not used by EMC. Terminal serial port (also known as a console port) The terminal serial port has a DB-9 connector wired as a DCE device and can be used to connect to a DTE device, such as a PC serial port or dumb terminal. Ethernet port The ethernet port has an RJ-45 connector, and is capable of speeds of 10/100 Mbps. The switch can continue to operate while a CP card is replaced. The active CP card controls the following services: System initialization; Extended Fabrics; High availability and switch drivers; Fabric Watch; Name server; Remote Switch; SNMP; SES; Fabric OS; Web Tools; Fabric Access; Zoning Copyright 2004 EMC Corporation.

The ports on each of the 16-port cards are color-coded to indicate which ports can be used in the same ISL Trunking group: four ports marked with black solid ovals alternate with four ports marked with oval outlines. The switch can continue to operate while a port card is replaced, but any devices connected to the port card must be disconnected. To ensure correct air circulation inside the switch and protection from dust, filler panels can be ordered for any empty slots. The 16-port card slots should not be left empty for an extended period of time. Note ISL Trunking is a feature that enables distribution of traffic over the combined bandwidth of up to four ISLs between two directly connected switches, while preserving in-order delivery.

Two power supplies receive power from one of the AC power inputs, and the other two receive power from the other AC power input; each AC power input and its associated power supplies are marked. The switch will continue to operate, provided at least one power supply remains in either one of the two upper power supply slots (numbered 3 and 4), and one in either of the two lower power supply slots (numbered 1 and 2), and both AC switches are on and powered. The power status is also displayed on the WWN bezel on the non-cable side of the switch. A fully loaded chassis can function with just two power supplies. The left power input connector provides power to the power supplies in slots 1 and 3, and the right power input connector provides power to the power supplies in slots 2 and 4. Removal and Installation Power supply removal Press on the release tab located on upper left corner; Pull down the release handle; Grab the release handle and pull Power supply installation Orient the power supply so that the tab is towards the front of the switch; Insert the power supply all the way into the slot and push the handle until it clicks; Verify status.

The WWN card is an integral part of the chassis, and the bezel covers the card. The WWN card provides LEDs for monitoring the switch from the back side of the chassis. It also stores the following information: The chassis serial number (used when installing software licenses) The two native IP addresses assigned to the CP card slots Information for the two logical switches in the ED-12000B: The logical switch names The logical IP addresses The logical WWNs The bezel protects the card and provides visual orientation for the LEDs on the card. Together, the bezel and card provide a consolidated view of the LEDs for the CP cards, 16-port cards, and power supplies. The bezel and card provides a consolidated LED view of: The incoming power to and status of the 16-port cards in slots 1-4 and 7-10; The incoming power to and status of the CP cards in slots 5 and 6; The incoming power to the four power supplies. If a slot contains a filler panel, the corresponding LEDs on the WWN card are dark. Both the WWN card and bezel are hot- swappable, since the information stored in the card is also stored in the flash memory of the CP cards. However, the switch should not be rebooted while the WWN card is uninstalled, as this can cause the switch to boot incorrectly. Note The LEDs patterns may temporarily change during POST and other diagnostic tests. Copyright 2004 EMC Corporation. All Rights Reserved.

The primary purpose of the CLI is for scripts written for use in a host-based scripting environment. The CLI can be used only through a Telnet client session in an out-of-band management environment, using the Ethernet port in the switch. Although the primary use of the CLI is in host-based scripting environments, the CLI commands can also be entered directly at a command line. Any hardware platform that supports Telnet client software can be used. The primary purpose of the CLI is to automate management of a large number of switches/directors with the use of scripts. Because the CLI is not an interactive interface, no prompts are displayed to guide the user through a task. If an interactive interface is needed, use WebTools. CAUTION If you choose to configure the switchs network IP address to be on a public network, this could allow someone to attempt to manage the switch via the CLI. If you intend to use the CLI, be sure to change the default passwords of the CLI. Copyright 2004 EMC Corporation. All Rights Reserved.

The Defined configuration is the complete set of all zone objects that have been defined in the fabric. There can be multiple zone configurations defined, but only one can be enabled at a time. There may be inconsistencies in the definitions, zones or aliases that are referenced but not defined, or there may be duplicate members. The Defined configuration is the current state of the administrator input. The Effective configuration is the single zone configuration that is currently enabled. The devices that an initiator sees in the fabric are based on this configuration. The Effective configuration is built when a specific zone configuration is enabled and all error checking has been completed successfully. Copyright 2004 EMC Corporation. All Rights Reserved.

Below are some of the features that make Web Tools an important part of the switch management and administration process: You can use Web Tools from a standard workstation which provides you the advantage of being virtually in front of any fabric, switch, or port. Web Tools makes zoning a simple click-and-drag process, rather than forcing you to type IP addresses or port numbers into a configuration. Web Tools provides the Advanced Performance Monitoring feature. This feature allows you to view the status and traffic of a switch or port in seconds by easily creating a variety of effective graphs. Web Tools is easy and intuitive to use. Copyright 2004 EMC Corporation. All Rights Reserved. Connectrix B-Series Architecture and Management, 50 EMC Global Education 2004 EMC Corporation.

Port throughput is the number of bytes received at a port plus the number of bytes transmitted. Switch throughput is the total throughput for all the ports. Performance Monitoring also allows the graphing of traffic based on the Source ID and the Destination ID hardware filtering mechanism. Some features available in the Performance Monitor include: An existing report can be selected from a list of reports that are predefined. In some cases, you can supply the object to be monitored and graphed (such as port number, SID/DID pair, AL_PA, or switch domain number). Graphs are displayed on a canvas, which can hold a maximum of eight graphs simultaneously. An individual graph can be maximized to occupy the entire canvas. The size of the graphs on the canvas is determined by the number of graphs being displayed. The window does not need to be scrolled to view all the selected graphs. The collection of graphs in the canvas can be stored for later retrieval on the switch. Up to 20 individual canvases can be saved. Each canvas is saved with its name, a brief description, and up to 8 graphs which comprise the canvas. Any graph can Zoom In, or be magnified and detached from the main canvas or Removed from the main canvas using a pop-up menu. The pop-up menu is displayed by pointing the mouse at any graph on the main canvas and clicking the right mouse button. To re-attach the (Zoomed Out) detached graph back to the main canvas, you can point the mouse to the detached graph, click the right button and select Zoom Out. Each graph can be printed to a printer of choice. Copyright 2004 EMC Corporation. All Rights Reserved. Connectrix B-Series Architecture and Management, 55 EMC Global Education 2004 EMC Corporation.

ISL Monitoring alerts you when an ISL is added, removed or moved in a fabric. Sequenced Reboot allows you to define groups of switches to reboot simultaneously, then configure groups to reboot sequentially. Reboot groups let you simultaneously reboot switches that run the same firmware, serve the same function, reside in the same physical location, or share any other attribute by which you want to group them. Perform a Firmware Download with Fabric Manager to concurrently download firmware to multiple switches and reboot the switches simultaneously or in sequence. License Management can display, store, load, and reload your license keys so that you do not lose them if your switch fails. Perform a Fabric Merge Check to determine if you can merge two fabrics successfully. Copyright 2004 EMC Corporation. All Rights Reserved.

During installation, you may choose to install either, or both, on a single host. Both a server and a client must be installed for Fabric Manager to operate properly. A client installation must have IP access to the switches, it is not a relay client. Copyright 2004 EMC Corporation. All Rights Reserved. Connectrix B-Series Architecture and Management, 67 EMC Global Education 2004 EMC Corporation. All rights reserved. 67 Launching Fabric Manager When launching Fabric Manager you must enter the following fields: Username, Password, Server and Port. User names and passwords correspond to Windows domain user names and passwords. Server is either the IP address of the server or the word localhost if the server component is on the same host as the client. Copyright 2004 EMC Corporation. All Rights Reserved. Connectrix B-Series Architecture and Management, 68 EMC Global Education 2004 EMC Corporation. All rights reserved. 68 Main Window The basic Fabric Manager GUI includes standard menus, tabs, and pull down menus, as well as custom icons and windows. The Address field keeps a drop-down list of the fabrics that you already discovered and lets you enter the IP address of new switches and fabrics that you want to monitor. The ID pull down menu lets you set the naming of your switches and fabrics. The SAN Elements tab shows the various elements that you can monitor. You can control+click to select multiple items. When an elements status changes, the element changes color in the SAN Elements tab. The parent items in the SAN Elements tab tree change color to match. The filter tab lets you view entities that include a particular alphanumeric string. Copyright 2004 EMC Corporation. All Rights Reserved.

You may enter a wildcard * in the last section of the IP Address Range field to represent the range of scan. With this discovery mechanism, you do not need to know the exact address of a switch to discover a fabric. When you specify a subnet, Fabric Manager lists the switches and fabrics that it finds so you can add them to the SAN Elements tab. The check-boxes in the Scan Result section adds these switches to the management station. Copyright 2004 EMC Corporation. All Rights Reserved. Connectrix B-Series Architecture and Management, 72 EMC Global Education 2004 EMC Corporation.

For Fabric Manager to access secure switches, you must configure your security policies (at the command line) as follows: You must add the IP address of any host that runs the Fabric Manager server to the IP policy of your fabric. The server cannot communicate with the fabric if you do not include this IP address. (This holds true whether or not the machine also runs the Fabric Manager client.) You must add every client that you want to run API to the API policy of your fabric. Fabric Manager lets you configure SAN security to restrict sensitive operations to a few trusted switches. It allows administrators to designate a small number of switches, known as Fabric Configuration Servers (FCS), to perform fabric-wide management operations. Security acts on a policy basis, which means you can selectively choose what functionality a switch can access. EMC does not support this functionality. Copyright 2004 EMC Corporation.

When you enable ISL Checking, Fabric Manager takes a snapshot, or stamp, of your ISLs. Whenever you add, remove, or change an ISL, Fabric Manager compares the change to the stamp and triggers an event when mismatches occur. Events change the color and status of related icons in the Fabric Manager display and create log entries. Copyright 2004 EMC Corporation. All Rights Reserved. Connectrix B-Series Architecture and Management, 79 EMC Global Education 2004 EMC Corporation. All rights reserved. 79 Fabric Checking Fabric Checking monitors the fabric and registers events when you add switches to or remove switches from the fabric. When you add or remove a fabric, Fabric Checking adds an entry to the switch event log and changes the status color of the fabric. You can configure Fabric Checking to ignore additions to the fabric, but the software always registers an event when you remove a switch. Fabric Manager polls the fabric every fifteen seconds to determine if the fabric has changed. For larger fabrics, the poll time changes to up to 45 seconds. Copyright 2004 EMC Corporation.

When you return the switch, the standard node replaces the ghost node. Copyright 2004 EMC Corporation. All Rights Reserved.
