  • Page 18: Director Description

    Overview Director Description The director is a second-generation, 140-port product that provides dynamic switched connections between Fibre Channel servers and devices in a SAN environment. Directors are managed and controlled through an High Availability Fabric Manager (HAFM) appliance with HAFM and Director 2/140 Element Manager installed.

  • Page 22: Zoning

    Overview Zoning The director supports a name server zoning feature that partitions attached devices into restricted-access groups called zones. Devices in the same zone can recognize and communicate with each other through switched port-to-port connections. Devices in separate zones cannot communicate with each other. Zoning is configured by authorizing or restricting access to name server information associated with device N_Ports that attach to director fabric ports (F_Ports).
  • Page 23 Overview Domain ID assignment—Each director in a fabric is identified by a unique domain ID that ranges from 1 through 31. A domain ID of 0 is invalid. If two operational fabrics join, they determine if any domain ID conflicts exist between the fabrics.
  • Page 24: Hardware Components

    Overview — Build fabric protocol error—A protocol error is detected during the process of forming the fabric. — No principal switch—No director in the fabric is capable of becoming the principal switch. — No response from attached switch—After a fabric is created, each director in the fabric periodically verifies operation of all attached switches and directors.
