  • Page 4: Overview

    Compellent storage array, and Dell S5000 as NPIV Proxy Gateway We will first demonstrate a non-converged setup and then add the Dell S5000 to the picture. This will allow us to see how the connections and configuration change from a traditional non-converged environment to a converged environment with the introduction of the Dell S5000 switch.
  • Page 5 The Dell Compellent Storage Center controllers are used to support various I/O adapters including FC, iSCSI, FCoE, and SAS. A Dell Compellent Storage Center consists of one or two controllers, FC switches, and one or more enclosures. In the above example, two Compellent SC8000 controllers, one Compellent SC220 enclosure, two FC switches, and one 4-port FC HBA card on each Compellent controller is used for the SAN network.
  • Page 6 32 independent paths from the connected storage devices. The MPIO framework uses Device Specific Modules (DSM) to allow path configuration. For Windows Server 2008 and above, Microsoft provides a built-in generic Microsoft DSM (MSDSM) and it should be used. For Windows Server 2003 only, Dell Compellent provides a DSM.
  • Page 7 While this is a highly robust failover solution, it requires a large number of ports. Dell Compellent introduced virtual ports in Storage Center 5.0. Virtual ports allow all front-end IO ports to be virtualized. All FC ports can be used at the same time for load balancing as well as failover to another port.
  • Page 8 Dell Networking S5000: Deployment of a Converged Infrastructure with FCoE During initial configuration of the Compellent Storage Center, we created a disk pool labeled “Pool_1” consisting of seven 300 GB drives. The total disk space is 1.64 TB; this can be seen in the screen shot of the Storage Center System Manager GUI as shown below in Figure 5.

  • Page 13 Figure 12: Confirming to keep the default value for ‘Replay Profiles’ The last step in configuring the Dell Compellent Storage Center array is mapping the newly created volume to the server. Once you create the volume, you will be asked if you want to map it to a server object.

  • Page 15 The reason we see eight storage ports instead of four is because we are using virtual port mode on the Dell Compellent array so we are seeing the physical WWPN and the virtual WWPN. We would see similar (with different WWPNs) on the fabric B FC switch.
  • Page 16 Dell Networking S5000: Deployment of a Converged Infrastructure with FCoE Figure 15: Node logins on the fabric A FC switch You can also see the node WWPN by looking at what is logged in on the physical port as shown in Figure 16 below.
  • Page 17 Dell Networking S5000: Deployment of a Converged Infrastructure with FCoE Figure 16: Check WWPNs logged in on port 2 of fabric A FC switch We can use the respective port WWPNs to create a specific zoning configuration such as that displayed below in Figure 17.
  • Page 18 Figure 18: ‘switchshow’ command on fabric A FC switch displaying connections on FC ports As you can see in Figure 18 above, since we are using virtual port mode on the Dell Compellent storage array, instead of the normal F_Port text as shown on port 2 which is connected to the FC HBA on the server, we see “1 N Port + 1 NPIV public”.
  • Page 19 In Figure 19, you can see how the traditional non-converged topology has changed with the introduction of the Dell S5000 switch in a possible use case. Note how the Dell S4810 Ethernet switches have been replaced by Dell S5000 converged switches. Also, note how the separate Ethernet NIC and FC adapters on the server have been replaced by one converged network adapter (CNA).
  • Page 20 Figure 21: Logical view of how operating system sees CNA with NPAR and FCoE enabled Since we are using a Dell QLogic QLE8262 CNA, the first thing we need to do is configure it for FCoE. Note, since we NIC team with ‘Failsafe Team’, no configuration is required on the S5000 switches and the switches are not aware of the NIC team.
  • Page 21 Apply DCB map to downstream interface going to server. The same procedure is repeated for the S5000 connecting to fabric B. Note that we used a different ‘fc-map’ and FCoE VLAN. Since fabric A and fabric B are isolated from each other, this was not necessary, however, it may be easier to troubleshoot and understand if some distinction is made between the two fabrics.

    The traditional LAN/SAN non-converged setup example is shown below in Figure 36. As you can see, a Dell PowerEdge R720 server with a two port FC HBA is used to connect to two FC switches which are then connected to a Dell PowerVault MD3660f storage array. Each FC port on the server HBA is connecting to a different fabric.

In Figure 95 and Figure 96, you can see we NIC team the two virtual NIC ports and use ‘Failsafe Team’.
  • Page 77 As far as the network configuration for the LAN, since ‘Failsafe Team’ is being utilized, there is no special configuration that needs to be done on the S5000 switches. We can simply have one link going to each S5000 switch with one port in ‘active’ mode and the other in ‘standby’ mode.
