  • Page 13: Overview

    1 Overview This chapter provides a description of the mpx110 and an overview of FCIP. mpx110 product description The HP StorageWorks IP Distance Gateway (referred to as the mpx110) provides FC SAN extension over an IP network. Used in conjunction with the EVA and XP storage system families and the HP Continuous Access EVA or XP software, the mpx110 provides long-distance remote replication for disaster tolerance.
  • Page 14: Fcip Overview

    FCIP overview FCIP enables connectivity between geographically dispersed FC devices over an IP network. To deploy FCIP, two mpx110 gateways are required. Each gateway is configured for FCIP and connected to a fabric. The gateways are connected to each other through an IP network (LAN/WAN). For more information, see Figure Local FC devices need no additional hardware or software to access remote FC devices using the...
  • Page 15: Redundant Fcip Network Structure Example

    Redundant FCIP network structure example In a high-availability FCIP configuration, such as between pairs of mpx110 gateways and two independent IP networks that provide full redundancy, a loss of connectivity that occurs through one of the IP networks does not result in a loss of connectivity between the fabrics. See FCIP fully redundant, high-availability configuration.

    TCP window size recommendations Table 4 through Table 10 provide TCP window scaling factor and window size settings for specific WAN environments. NOTE: The TCP window size recommendations listed in Table 4 through Table 10 are based on low-loss networks (0.0012% average packet-loss ratio over 24 hours). For higher-loss, longer-latency networks, you should reduce the recommended window size and scaling factor by one setting to compensate for the increased number of packet retransmissions.
