Page 39: Planning
Section 3 Planning Consider the following when planning a fabric: Devices Device Access Performance Port Licensing Multiple Chassis Fabrics Fabric Security Fabric Management Devices When planning a fabric, consider the number of public devices and the anticipated demand. This will determine the number of ports that are needed and in turn the number of switches.
Page 40: Device Access
3 – Planning Device Access Device Access Consider device access needs within the fabric. Access is controlled by the use of zones and zone sets. Some zoning strategies include the following: Group devices by operating system. Separate devices that have no need to communicate with other devices in the fabric or have classified data.
Page 41: Soft Zones
3 – Planning Device Access 3.2.1 Soft Zones Soft zoning divides the fabric for purposes of controlling device discovery. Devices in the same soft zone automatically discover and communicate freely with all other members of the same zone. The soft zone boundary is not secure; traffic across soft zones can occur if addressed correctly.
Page 42: Performance
3 – Planning Performance Performance The SANbox 5602 switch supports class 2 and class 3 Fibre Channel service at transmission rates of 1-, 2-, 4-, or 10-Gbps with a maximum frame size of 2148 bytes. A 1-Gbps/2-Gbps port adapts its transmission speed to match that of the device to which it is connected prior to login when the connected device powers up.
Page 43: Bandwidth
3 – Planning Performance You can configure recipient and donor ports using the SANsurfer Switch Manager application or the Set Config command. Refer to “Set Config Command” on page B-39 for more information. 3.3.2 Bandwidth Bandwidth is a measure of the volume of data that can be transmitted at a given transmission rate.
Page 44: Port Licensing
3 – Planning Port Licensing Port Licensing The SANbox 5602 switch can come from the factory as an 8-, 12-, 16-, or 20-port switch, enabling ports 0–7, 0–11, 0–15, or 0–19 respectively. Ports 16–19 are 10-Gbps ports. You can upgrade the SANbox 5602 switch to enable additional ports up to the 20-port maximum.
Page 45: Optimizing Device Performance
3 – Planning Multiple Chassis Fabrics 3.5.1 Optimizing Device Performance When choosing a topology for a multiple chassis fabric, you should also consider the locality of your server and storage devices and the performance requirements of your application. Storage applications such as video distribution, medical record storage/retrieval or real-time data acquisition can have specific latency or bandwidth requirements.
Page 46: Domain Id, Principal Priority, And Domain Id Lock
3 – Planning Multiple Chassis Fabrics 3.5.2 Domain ID, Principal Priority, and Domain ID Lock The following switch configuration settings affect multiple chassis fabrics: Domain ID Principal priority Domain ID lock The domain ID is a unique number from 1–239 that identifies each switch in a fabric.
Page 47: Stacking
3 – Planning Multiple Chassis Fabrics 3.5.3 Stacking You can connect up to four 20-port SANbox 5602 switches together through the 10-Gbps ports, thus preserving the user ports for devices. This is called stacking. The following 2-, 3-, and 4-switch stacking configurations are recommended for best performance and redundancy.
Page 48 3 – Planning Multiple Chassis Fabrics A four-switch stack uses three 3-inch and three 9-inch XPAK switch stacking cables as shown in Figure 3-3. 64 1-Gbps/2-Gbps ports are available for devices. Figure 3-3. Four-Switch Stack 3-10 59096-00 A...
