    Chapter 1: Overview This document is the primary reference for the LSISAS6160 Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) switch. It describes the features of the switch and explains how to install and physically configure the switch. The document also explains how to use both the web-based interface and the command-driven interface of the SAS Domain Manager (SDM) utility to create storage configurations in the SAS domain.
  • Page 6 LSISAS6160 SAS Switch User Guide February 2014 SAS and the LSISAS6160 Switch The LSISAS6160 switch is a half rack width and uses an external power supply. The following figure shows the LSISAS6160 switch. Figure 1 LSISAS6160 Switch The LSISAS6160 switch uses two LSISAS2x36 6Gb/s SAS expanders, which are compliant with the ANSI Serial Attached SCSI specification and support SATA as defined in the Serial ATA: High Speed Serialized AT Attachment and the Serial ATA II: Port Selector Specification.
  • Page 7 LSISAS6160 SAS Switch User Guide February 2014 SAS and the LSISAS6160 Switch The following figure shows how the LSISAS6160 switch centralizes management of all application servers and data storage devices in the SAS domain. Figure 2 LSISASS6160 Resource Management LSI Corporation...
  • Page 8 In this simplified representation, the servers at the top of the figure must access data on the storage devices in the lower part of the figure. The LSISAS6160 switch manages the SAS configuration, allowing both servers to access all storage devices. Or, if zoning is used, single application servers can access specific storage devices exclusively.

  • Page 9: Sas Phys, Ports, And Connectors

    LSISAS6160 SAS Switch User Guide February 2014 SAS Phys, Ports, and Connectors SAS Phys, Ports, and Connectors Phys and ports are a basic concept of SAS. A phy is the basic physical connection point for a SAS device. A phy contains a single transmitter and receiver, which communicate across a SAS link to a single transmitter and receiver in another phy, as the following figure shows.

  • Page 10: Sas Connectors And Cabling

    SAS Connectors and Cabling Use a crossover cable to connect the LSISAS6160 switch to a server or to another host device. Use 4x Mini SAS connectors (also called SFF-8088 connectors) on both ends of the crossover cable to connect the switch to the device.

  • Page 11: Sas Routing And Zoning

    LSISAS6160 switch automatically determines how to route the connection request from the initiator to the correct data storage device (target). By default, any SAS initiator or target connected to the LSISAS6160 switch can access any other connected initiator or target in the SAS domain, without restrictions. However, because the SAS domain grows to include multiple hosts and multiple storage volumes, you can segregate one host from another host, or restrict one host from accessing storage owned by another host.

  • Page 12: Creating Sas Zones

    LSISAS6160 SAS Switch User Guide February 2014 SAS Routing and Zoning Initiators and targets see only the portions of the ZPSDS to which they are assigned in the zone permission table. These zoned portions are called zone groups. Zone groups are activated when they belong to a set. When the set is enabled, the zoning is enforced.
