Page 15: General Informationi
General InformationI The HP StorageWorks Edge Switch 2/24 provides dynamic switched connections between Fibre Channel servers and devices in a storage area network (SAN) environment. SANs introduce the concept of server-to-device networking and multi-switch fabrics, eliminate requirements for dedicated connections, and enable the enterprise to become data centric.
Page 16: Edge Switch 2/24 (Front View)
General InformationI The switch, shown in Figure 1–1, provides dynamic switched connections for servers and devices, supports mainframe and open-systems interconnection (OSI) computing environments, and provides data transmission and flow control between device node ports (N_Ports) as dictated by the Fibre Channel Physical and Signaling Interface (FC-PH 4.3).
Page 17: Maintenance Approach
General InformationI Maintenance Approach Whenever possible, the maintenance approach instructs service personnel to perform fault isolation and repair procedures without degrading or interrupting operation of the switch, attached devices, or associated applications. Switch fault isolation begins when one or more of the following occur: •...
Page 18: Tools And Test Equipment
General InformationI Tools and Test Equipment This section describes tools and test equipment that may be required to install, test, service, and verify operation of the switch and attached HAFM server.
