  • Page 14: Overview

    Overview The Hewlett-Packard SureStore E hub, short-wave model S10 and long-wave model L10, is a full-duplex, 1063-megabit-per-second hub. It increases loop reliability, number of loop connections, and distances between server and mass storage devices in a Fibre Channel Arbitrated Loop. The hub’ s port detection and bypass circuitry dynamically detects and bypasses a failed node on the loop.

  • Page 15: Features

    Short-wave hub (model S10): 10 non-Open Fibre Control (non-OFC) short-wave optical transceivers • Long-wave hub (model L10): nine non-OFC, short-wave optical transceivers and one non-OFC, long-wave optical transceiver • Local retime and regeneration of transmit signals to prevent accumulation of jitter and improve the signal •...

  • Page 19: Supported Topologies

    Supported Topologies Devices such as FC-AL disk arrays and HP system servers that support FC-AL can be connected to the hub in a loop that includes one or more servers. All nodes in the loop must be 1063 Mbps short-wave, non-OFC, FC-AL. The ports connected by a cable must have the same optical transceivers.

  • Page 21: Cascaded Long-Wave Hub Topology

    Cascaded Long-Wave Hub Topology Cascaded FC-AL, non-OFC, model L10 long-wave hubs use the long-wave port for the hub- to-hub connection. The maximum supported distance between cascaded long-wave hubs with single-mode 9 micron cable is 3 km. The maximum distance between a server and FC- AL devices on cascaded long-wave hubs is, therefore, 4000 meters (500 m + 3000 m + 500 m).
  • Page 22 Cascaded hubs must have the same firmware versions to operate properly. If you are using Fibre Channel Manager to manage cascaded hubs, configure the hub that has the LAN (ethernet) connection as a parent hub and the remaining hub as a child hub (see page 60 for more information).

    Procedure 6: Connect FC-AL Devices After the hub and devices are prepared, connect FC-AL devices as follows: Physically set each FC-AL device to a unique loop ID (hardware address). Refer to the FC-AL device’ s manual to set the loop ID. If devices are added during normal operation and duplicate IDs occur, the Fibre Channel driver denies access to both devices until the address conflict is resolved.

    Laser Safety A. Certification and Classification Information This product contains a laser internal to the Optical Link Module (OLM) for connection to the Fibre communications port. In the USA, all models of the OLM are certified as Class 1 laser product and conform to the requirements contained in the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) regulation 21 CFR Subchapter J.
  • Page 116 B. Product Information Each communications port consists of a transmitter and receiver optical subassembly. The transmitter subassembly contains internally a semiconductor laser diode in the wavelength range of 780 to 1300 nanometers. In the event of a break anywhere in the fibre path, the OLM control system prevents laser emissions from exceeding Class 1 levels.

    The HP SureStore E short-wave and long-wave hubs support a cascaded topology. In a cascaded hub topology, the child hub is the hub that is not connected to the LAN (ethernet). HP SureStore E hubs are configured as a parent or child hub through their RS-232 interface.
  • Page 120 Fibre Channel Logically, Fibre Channel is a bidirectional, full-duplex, point-to-point, serial data channel structured for high performance capability. Physically, the Fibre Channel is an interconnection of multiple communication ports, called NL_Ports, interconnected by a switching network, called a fabric, a point-to-point link or an arbitrated loop. Fibre Channel is a generalized transport mechanism that has no protocol of its own or native input/output command set, but can transport any existing Upper Level Protocols (ULPs) such as SCSI and IPI at speeds of 100 Mbytes/sec over distances of up to 10...
