Overview

HP StorageWorks 4/16 SAN Switch and 4/16 SAN Switch Power Pack Family
The new HP StorageWorks 4/16 SAN Switch and 4/16 SAN Switch Power Pack delivers affordable and flexible 4 Gb/s connectivity for a storage area networks (SANs). The new interconnects can be incorporated into an extensive core fabric or placed at the edge. Both 4/16 SAN Switch variants scale to full SAN configurations as defined by the SAN Design Guide. The 4/16 SAN Switch includes web management tools and hardware and software enforced zoning. The new switches deliver sixteen high performance auto Sensing 1, 2, and 4 Gb/s Fibre Channel ports. In addition, the 4/16 SAN Switch and the 4/16 SAN Switch Power Pack are fully non-blocking and provide 128 Gb switching (4 Gb full duplex) capacity for un-congested sustained, 4 Gb full duplex throughput. Small-form-factor-pluggable optical transceivers (SFPs) must be ordered separately. All models include one power supply. The 4/16 Power Pack includes the 4/16 SAN Switch plus a value added software package. The optional Power Pack software bundle can be purchased separately and includes Fabric Watch, ISL Trunking, Extended Fabric and Advanced Performance Monitor. The software bundle provides the SAN administrator with the necessary tools to monitor the health and performance of the network, while also ensuring the highest levels of security, scalability and manageability. Power Pack software provides the foundation for integration into HP OpenView Storage Area Manager (SAM), enabling infrastructure management through a single-pane-of-glass.

Software Components
Frame Filtering An ASIC based capability in the B-series family of switches that enables new applications and features. The switch now 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. In the 4 Gb 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.

Advanced Zoning

WebTools

Enables organizations to monitor and manage single Fibre Channel switches and small SAN fabrics. Tasks can be performed through a Java-capable Web browser from a standard laptop, desktop PC or workstation from any location within the enterprise. 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
Power Pack Software Bundle Includes bundled license for: ISL Trunking Advanced Performance Monitoring Fabric Watch Extended Fabric ISL Trunking For high performance enhanced Trunking, this optional license logically groups up to four E-ports to provide a high bandwidth trunk between two switches. Each 4Gb 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. Each 16-port switch can have a total of four separate 4-port Trunk groups. 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 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. 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: Allows management of a single Fabric OS (FOS) fabric (up to a 1,000 B-Series switch ports) at a time Performs group switch management beyond the scope of Web Tools Does not offer management of the DC SAN Backbone Director 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 Data Center Fabric Manager Professional and have a small SAN environment may over time feel the need for an enterprise-class product (Data Center Fabric Manager 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 Data Center Fabric Manager Professional to Data Center Fabric Manager Enterprise
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.

Secure Fabric OS

Secure Fabric OS is a comprehensive security solution for SAN fabrics, providing policy-based security protection for more predictable change management, assured configuration integrity and reduced risk of downtime. Secure Fabric OS protects the network by using the strongest, enterprise-class security methods available, including digital certificates and digital signatures, multiple levels of password protection, strong password encryption and Public Key Infrastructure (PKI)-based authentication, and 128-bit encryption of the switch's private key used for digital signatures. With its flexible design, Secure Fabric OS enables organizations to customize SAN security to meet specific policy requirements. In addition, Secure Fabric OS works in conjunction with Advanced Zoning to further secure access to the SAN, simplify storage management, and reduce provisioning time.
